ASUS ROG Strix XG27JCG 27" 5K 180Hz Gaming Monitor / 5K (5120x2880) IPS Display / 180Hz Refresh Rate / 0.3ms Respnse Time / Frame Rate Boost 330Hz QHD Mode / DisplayPort 1.4 HDMI 2.1 USB-C / 97% DCI-P3 VESA DisplayHDR 600 / ROG Gaming A.I Competitive Edge / Tear-Free Fluid Gaming Performance / 90LM0CE0-B01371

The 5120 x 2880 Fast IPS display delivers 218 ppi, a 180Hz (OC) refresh rate, and VESA DisplayHDR™ 600 certification to produce vibrant, supersharp 5K visuals for deep immersion. The larger pixel area provides more onscreen space—listed as 77% more visible area versus a same‑size 4K display—so details and scene scope are expanded for gaming and cinematic content.

Dual Mode enables quick switching between immersive 5K at 180Hz and snappy QHD (2560 x 1440) at 330Hz to match your use case. Both modes deliver a 0.3ms gray-to-gray response time for consistently smooth motion and minimal blur.

This monitor supports AMD FreeSync™ Premium and NVIDIA® G‑SYNC® compatibility to enable variable refresh rate (VRR) and deliver tear‑free visuals. ELMB Sync helps prevent ghosting, and ASUS Variable Overdrive automatically adjusts settings for optimal performance across different frame rates.

ELMB 2 uses a dual backlight design with two LED strips and ten backlight zones to improve motion clarity. It offers five different level settings, delivers three times the max peak brightness of previous generation ELMB tech, and can produce up to 65%* brighter visuals (when set to ELMB Level 3).

The monitor includes Dynamic Crosshair, Dynamic Shadow Boost, and AI Visual. Dynamic Crosshair adds an onscreen reticle that contrasts the background for improved targeting, Dynamic Shadow Boost brightens dark areas without overexposure, and AI Visual automatically adjusts display settings for the best viewing in different scenarios.

Monitor settings and custom profiles can be managed using the DisplayWidget Center app for Windows, allowing easy tailoring of settings to specific games. For macOS users, brightness can be adjusted directly with a MacBook’s keys via ASUS DisplayWidget Center; note that the mouse cursor must be visible on the ROG monitor to use this function.

The XG27JCG’s compact footprint conserves desktop space while its ergonomic stand supports tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments to help achieve an ideal viewing angle. It is also VESA compatible for wall mounting to increase setup flexibility.

ASUS ships this monitor using packaging made from 100% recycled cardboard as part of its environmental responsibility efforts to reduce waste and support sustainability.
