Our take on the ASUS ROG Strix XG279CNS

The ASUS ROG Strix XG279CNS is a 27-inch 1080p gaming monitor built for esports. It overclocks to 380Hz, uses a Fast IPS panel with a 0.3ms gray-to-gray response, and adds ELMB Sync to cut ghosting while variable refresh stays on. USB-C with DisplayPort Alt mode and HDMI 2.1 give it more input options than most 1080p high-refresh rivals, which often stop at DisplayPort and HDMI. It suits competitive players who want maximum frame rate over resolution; anyone wanting sharper detail or HDR worth the name should look at 1440p or 4K models instead.

Questions and answers

Is 1080p at 27 inches too low for gaming?
It is sharp enough for fast-paced games where frame rate matters more than detail, but text and fine textures look coarser than on a 1440p 27-inch screen. Competitive players often accept that trade-off.
How do I reach 380Hz?
380Hz is an overclock on top of the panel's native high refresh rate. You need to enable it in the monitor's settings and connect over DisplayPort or USB-C, and your GPU must push frames fast enough to benefit.
Does ELMB Sync work with G-Sync or FreeSync?
Yes. ELMB Sync is designed to combine backlight strobing with variable refresh rate, so you get blur reduction without turning adaptive sync off. That combination is rare on rival monitors.
What is in the box?
A DisplayPort cable, power cord, quick start guide, ROG pouch, ROG sticker and warranty card.
Can I connect a laptop over USB-C?
Yes. The USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt mode, so a compatible laptop can send video over a single cable. There is also a headphone jack for audio.
How does it compare with 1440p 240Hz monitors?
This monitor trades resolution for refresh rate. A 1440p 240Hz model looks sharper and is easier to drive, while the XG279CNS gives higher frame rates and lower motion blur for esports.
Where is the ASUS ROG Strix XG279CNS cheapest?
At Asus, for $443.16, as of our latest check.
