27-inch IPS clarity

The 1920 × 1080 resolution offers a familiar 16:9 gaming and desktop layout on a 27-inch panel. IPS technology gives wide 178-degree viewing angles, while the anti-glare surface helps manage reflections around the desk. ASUS specifies 16.7 million display colours, 250 cd/m² typical brightness and a 1000:1 typical contrast ratio for the display.

165Hz through DisplayPort

A maximum 165Hz refresh rate supports high-frame-rate gaming when connected to suitable graphics hardware. The official signal table lists DisplayPort operation from 48 to 165Hz and HDMI from 48 to 144Hz. Choosing the right input and display settings matters when you want to use the monitor's full refresh-rate range, with achievable frame rates depending on your PC and game.

FreeSync Premium and ELMB controls

AMD FreeSync Premium and Adaptive-Sync support help compatible graphics output coordinate with the screen. ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur provides another motion-control option in supported modes. The advertised 1ms response is an MPRT rating, a motion-blur measurement that should be distinguished from grey-to-grey response time when comparing different gaming displays.

ASUS tools for different games

GamePlus adds on-screen gaming tools, while GameVisual provides picture presets for different kinds of content. Shadow Boost adjusts visibility in dark areas, and Trace Free offers response tuning. GameFast Input technology is also included. These settings let you adjust the monitor around your preferred games without changing the native Full HD resolution.

Connections and everyday sound

One DisplayPort 1.2 input and two HDMI 1.4 inputs let multiple wired sources stay attached. A headphone output provides a private-listening option, and two built-in 2W speakers cover everyday audio. ASUS lists a DisplayPort cable and power adapter among the supplied accessories, with package contents varying by region, so plan any additional cables around your devices.

A practical stand and mounting option

The stand offers −5° to +20° tilt and ±16-degree swivel, while a 100 × 100mm VESA pattern supports a compatible arm. The supplied stand does not provide height adjustment, making an arm useful if you need more positioning flexibility. Flicker-free and Low Blue Light features add viewing controls. With its stand, the monitor measures approximately 614.1 × 454.3 × 213.8mm and weighs 4.4kg.
