Our take
I picked up the ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCS for its 4K 160Hz specs, and it doesn't disappoint. The IPS panel is bright at 450 nits, making HDR content pop more than typical monitors. The 1ms response ensures minimal motion blur. G-Sync works flawlessly, and the USB-C input is handy for modern laptops. However, the contrast ratio is standard 1000:1, so blacks aren't deep. The stand is sturdy but lacks height adjustment. For around $275, it's a compelling 4K gaming monitor.
