ASUS ROG Strix XG279CNS - 27" Full HD Fast IPS Gaming Monitor, 380Hz, 0.3ms, USB-C, Black
The ASUS ROG Strix XG279CNS is a 27-inch Full HD gaming monitor built around a Fast IPS panel running at up to 380Hz. It covers 110% of sRGB at 400 cd/m², carries VESA DisplayHDR 400, and takes DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1 and USB-C video on a stand that tilts, swivels, pivots and raises. ASUS part 90LM0AW0-B01371.
Why this product
380Hz Fast IPS panel
A 27-inch 1920 × 1080 Fast IPS panel running at up to 380Hz, with the colour consistency and 178° viewing angles of IPS rather than the narrower cone of a TN screen.
ASUS rates it at 1ms GtG
ASUS quotes 1ms grey-to-grey, with 0.3ms as the minimum figure. ELMB and ELMB Sync are both included for motion-blur reduction.
Adaptive-Sync, FreeSync Premium and G-SYNC Compatible
Certified VESA AdaptiveSync Display at 380Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible — so it syncs with either graphics vendor without tearing.
DisplayHDR 400 and 110% sRGB
400 cd/m² typical brightness, 1000:1 contrast and 110% sRGB coverage, with VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification.
Three video inputs including USB-C
DisplayPort 1.4 with HBR3, HDMI 2.1 with FRL, and a USB-C input with DisplayPort Alt Mode. The USB-C carries 7.5W of power delivery.
Fully adjustable stand
Tilt, swivel, pivot and 120mm of height adjustment, plus a 1/4-inch tripod socket on the stand for mounting a camera or light.

- DisplayPort 1.4 (HBR3) and HDMI 2.1 (FRL) inputs, plus a USB-C input with DisplayPort Alt Mode.
- Works tear-free with both AMD and NVIDIA cards: VESA AdaptiveSync Display certified at 380Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium and G-SYNC Compatible.
- VESA 100 × 100 mm mounting, a 1/4-inch tripod socket on the stand, and a Kensington lock slot.
- TUV-certified flicker-free and low blue light, with GamePlus, GameVisual, Shadow Boost and DisplayWidget Center.
- ASUS quotes the response time as 1ms grey-to-grey, with 0.3ms as a minimum figure. The two are not the same measurement.
- The USB-C input delivers 7.5W of power. It is a video input, not a 65W laptop docking port.
- ASUS lists a DisplayPort cable, power cord, quick start guide, ROG pouch, ROG sticker and warranty card in the box. No HDMI or USB cable is listed.
- ASUS states this monitor has no built-in speakers. There is a 3.5mm earphone jack.
Best for
- Competitive 1080p play, where 380Hz is reachable on a mid-range card and motion clarity decides fights.
- Players who want IPS colour and viewing angles rather than the trade-offs of a fast TN panel.
- Either graphics vendor — FreeSync Premium and G-SYNC Compatible are both certified.
- Desks that need the screen moved: tilt, swivel, pivot and 120mm of height.
- Streamers, thanks to the 1/4-inch tripod socket built into the stand.
Trade-offs
- High-resolution work: this is 1920 × 1080 across 27 inches, about 81 pixels per inch. Text and CAD will look coarser than on a QHD screen.
- Laptop docking: the USB-C input provides 7.5W, not enough to charge a laptop.
- Serious HDR: DisplayHDR 400 at 400 cd/m² is the entry tier, not a high-dynamic-range experience.
- Colour-critical professional work: ASUS publishes no Delta E figure or factory calibration for this model.
- Anyone who needs sound from the monitor: ASUS states there are no speakers.
The ROG Strix XG279CNS is a 27-inch Full HD gaming monitor built for speed without giving up IPS colour. The Fast IPS panel runs at up to 380Hz, with ASUS quoting 1ms grey-to-grey and 0.3ms as a minimum figure.
Because it is IPS rather than TN, the 178° viewing angles and colour consistency hold up off-axis, and it covers 110% of sRGB at 400 cd/m² with VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification.
Tearing is handled whichever card you run: it is VESA AdaptiveSync Display certified at 380Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible. ELMB and ELMB Sync are available for motion-blur reduction, alongside GamePlus, GameVisual and Shadow Boost.
Inputs are DisplayPort 1.4 with HBR3, HDMI 2.1 with FRL, and a USB-C input with DisplayPort Alt Mode carrying 7.5W of power delivery — enough to keep a small device topped up, but not a laptop docking port.
The stand tilts, swivels, pivots through 90° and raises through 120mm, with a 1/4-inch tripod socket built in for a camera or light, and VESA 100 × 100 mm mounting if you prefer an arm. ASUS states there are no built-in speakers; there is a 3.5mm earphone jack.
