ASUS Launches 300 Hz 27-inch WQHD ROG Strix Gaming Monitor with DisplayHDR 600

[TheLostSwede]

For those that find a 270 Hz refresh rate a bit on the laggy side when gaming at 2560 x 1440, ASUS has updated its ROG Strix series of monitors with the XG27AQMR model. The R on the end of the model name denotes the higher refresh rate, as well as support for DisplayHDR 600 over the previous model in the series. Although the two monitors are said to be using a Fast IPS panel, the new model has a 1 ms Grey to Grey response time, whereas the older model is rated at 0.5 ms.

All the gaming features you'd expect to find are of course included, such are FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync compatibility, ELMB which can be combined with FreeSync and various other ASUS specific features such as GameFast Input technology and GameVisual. The inputs haven't changed from the previous model in the series either, which means there's one DP 1.4 port and two HDMI 2.0 ports, as well as a USB-B input and two USB-A ports, all supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds, or 5 Gbps. The stand supports tilt, swivel, pivot and height adjustment. No word on pricing, but the previous model retails for around US$650, so we'd expect a small price premium on top of that for the higher refresh rate and improved HDR support.

The snake oil term is getting to unforeseenly ridiculous levels.

This may be their cheaper offering of the PG27AQN (1440p, 360 Hz).

I spent $1,480 on my son's AORUS MASTER 3080 - 12GB (sold & shipped by Newegg), so yeah, I really want a G-Sync compatible monitor - which means it won't have the G-Sync module (hardware) inside it. If I wanted cheap open source VESA/AMD adapted sync technology, I would have bought a Radeon card.

But these days, because people are cheap, it's getting harder to find monitors with the G-Sync module.

60FPS@60Hz fo life

What I am absolutely puzzled by is how every single modern monitor has a RGB emulation mode instead of it simply working, and even locking all adjustments when that is activated. How the fuck do you calibrate that? That's useless.
I guess I will be stuck with 60Hz for the rest of my days, because a 1440p 120Hz+ monitor you can edit photos on simply won't ever exist.
