World's First 27" DSC Gaming Monitor

BRILLIANT COLOR. BLISTERING SPEED.

ROG Strix XG27UQ is the world's first 27-inch DSC gaming monitor with display stream compression (DSC) technology that delivers smooth, 4K visuals at up to 144Hz. It is G-SYNC compatible ready and DisplayHDR™ 400 certified, featuring exceptional contrast and 90% DCI-P3 professional color gamut coverage.

SUPERB IMAGE QUALITY
WITH DSC TECHNOLOGY

ROG Strix XG27UQ Display stream compression (DSC) technology* enables 4K visuals and an 144Hz refresh rate via a single DisplayPort 1.4 connection by compressing and decompressing each frame on the fly with no visual loss of image quality.

LEARN MORE ABOUT DSC
To enable 4K resolution at 144 Hz with DSC, an NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 20 series, AMD Radeon™ RX 5700 or higher graphics card is required. For additional information about enabling DSC, contact your graphics card manufacturer.

DISPLAY STREAM COMPRESSION (DSC) TECHNOLOGY

Display Stream Compression technology is an industry-wide compression standard for transporting ultra-high definition video streams across a single interface at high speed with no perceptible loss of visual quality. With DSC technology, the ROG monitor can display incredibly detailed and smooth visuals at native 4K resolution with a 144 Hz refresh rate via a single DisplayPort 1.4 connection without chroma subsampling, which can negatively affect visual fidelity.


Previously, to achieve this level of performance gaming monitors needed two DisplayPort connections to transfer the video signal from the PC, which also often required complex driver configuration and prevented display of high-dynamic-range (HDR) content and variable refresh rates while gaming. The ROG monitor eliminates these issues, supporting both HDR and variable refresh rates via a single DisplayPort 1.4 connection.

If you want one of the best, then the ASUS ROG Strix XG27UQ is for you -- some of the best image quality on a gaming monitor that I've ever seen. It's absolutely captivating, but you'd better have the GPU horsepower to drive it.

物超所值獎

新款 XG27UQ 可以說是 PG27UQ 的精簡款，首先刪減了上方的 ROG 投射燈，HDR 規格從 DisplayHDR 1000 降到了 DisplayHDR 400。不過有趣的是這次的 XG27UQ 是首款未標示 FreeSync 的 XG 顯示器，而在取而代之的 G-SYNC compatible 認證下，除了支援 Adaptive Sync 之外，也採用了 VESA 新的 DSC (Display Stream Compression / 顯示器壓縮串流) 技術，讓其在有限 DP 線材傳輸平寬下，能夠傳輸 4K 144Hz HDR 的內容。
