It suits gamers who prefer a glossy OLED look and want ASUS's care features at a mid-tier price. HDMI is 2.0 rather than 2.1, and it has no USB-C or speakers. TFTCentral notes a newer Gen 2 version with HDMI 2.1 also exists.

Common questions

Can the XG27AQDMG run 240 Hz over HDMI?

No. ASUS lists its HDMI 2.0 ports at up to 144 Hz and DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC at up to 240 Hz, so use DisplayPort for full refresh rate.

Is there a newer version of the XG27AQDMG?

Yes. TFTCentral reviews a Gen 2 model, also called XG27AQDMGR, that updates the glossy coating, adds a proximity sensor and moves HDMI to version 2.1. This entry covers the original XG27AQDMG sold on ASUS's US store.
