ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS.
ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS — 27" 1440p @ 180Hz Fast IPS, 1ms GtG with variable overdrive, HDR400, FreeSync + G-Sync Compatible. Tom's Hardware's reference-class IPS value pick.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The best-in-class 1440p IPS at sub-$300. The right call for daylight-room workstations, productivity-heavy dual-use displays, and second-monitor builds where OLED isn't the brief.”

Fast IPS 1440p Panel
A 27-inch QHD Fast IPS panel delivers sharp detail with wide viewing angles — more desktop space and clarity than a 1080p screen at this price.
180Hz, Variable Overdrive
180Hz refresh and 1ms grey-to-grey with variable overdrive keep motion clean across the refresh range — a tuning feature rarely found under $300.
Dual Adaptive-Sync
FreeSync Premium and G-Sync Compatible certification eliminate tearing on both AMD and NVIDIA systems without locking you to one GPU ecosystem.
Technical Specifications
The Scoreboard
Reviewers praise its out-of-the-box color accuracy, 180Hz speed and value, with the main caveat that DisplayHDR 400 is entry-level and not a true HDR experience.
