Top Amazon Reviews

🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The monitor has been highly praised for its large screen and high resolution, making it excellent for work productivity, especially for tasks that require multiple screens at once like electrical design and autocad drafting. Users find it very useful for gaming as well, however, some users report that games that don't support 32:9 ratio require changing display resolution on Windows. The Picture-by-Picture (PBP) feature allowing simultaneous input from multiple sources has some issues, with some users even saying it does not work, and instructions for use are lacking.

Pros

  • 🖥 Large screen and high resolution improve work productivity.
  • 🎮 Suitable for gaming, more immersive with games supporting 32:9 ratio.
  • 💼 Excellent for multi-window tasks like electrical design and autocad drafting.
  • ⚖ Lightweight (21 lbs), making it easier to handle independently.

Cons

  • ⚡ Issues with Picture-by-Picture (PBP) feature.
  • ⛔ Instructions for use can be vague and general, not monitor-specific.
  • 👀 Can pick up glare of light behind the user.
  • 💻 For games that don't support 32:9 ratio, requires changing display resolution on Windows.

Should I Buy It?

If you need a monitor primarily for work that involves multitasking across multiple screens and occasional gaming, then this might be a good fit. However, if you specifically need a PBP feature that works flawlessly, you might want to find alternatives as this monitor appears to have some issues with it.


  • The Asus ROG PG27AQN is an absolute madlad of a beast.
Style: 27" Fast IPS 360Hz QHD G-SYNC
AMAZON FUMBLED THE BAG CAUSE I STOLE THIS FOR $750. I was so shocked and skeptical why it was listed as that price but props to the one who actually secured the bag. I heard reviews of quality control being poor such as dead pixels, and broken back plates, but luckily my unit was not affected at all. I honestly don't know where to start. I've tested multiple monitors such as Neo G8, Alienware QD-Oled (DW Version), BenQ Xowie XL2566k, LG Oled 27gr95qe-b, AW2723DF, and so on but I have the perfect monitor for me that I finally settle on. This monitor can play any title of what you want but is purely for competitive games. This is the fastest panel I've played on with very good picture quality. Out-of-the-box settings when you first boot it up are factory calibrated in sRGB mode with accurate colors. Although it was very dim without messing with the settings since there is no way to adjust the brightness in that mode. The monitor is definitely bright, brighter than an OLED display in general which I find lacking in that department in what I owned previously before. It may not have the infinite contrast ratio or so-called good blacks level because it's an IPS display but let's be real, when you are playing games in general such as competitive, you do not need to have that. I can't stress enough why people are so obsessed with OLED when burn-ins are a problem. I mostly game and have static images such as UI and productivity work that I would worry so much about it constantly, with it being an LED, I don't have to worry as much. It has a G-SYNC module built but you don't really need to enable it if your hardware can run 360hz. Somewhat my 7700x/RTX 4090 was capped at around 323 fps such as OW2, or Valorant so I disabled it and it hit above that FPS count. At a high refresh rate, you won't notice image tearing at all. You do want to run the Overdrive mode to normal since anything above such as esports and extreme mode will increase the amount of inverse ghosting, but overall it's clear as day with a good response time for an IPS panel. There is backlight bleeding but to a minimum where I don't notice it all. You definitely are not going to use HDR at all which is a gimmick on a panel like this without a local dimming zone such as FALD. It uses Edge-lit dimming like the G7 but you might as well turned off because it's only meant for HDR as I stated above it's a gimmick and just worth turning off. Most of the content you play or even watch is in SDR, just mess with the settings on this monitor and you have the most fantastic picture quality. The settings I use for a vivid color-like image and gaming are: GameVisual: Racing Mode Brightness: Whichever you prefer, I setting mine atleast very high nit of brightness (for example like 85%) Variable Backlight: Off (that was the gimmick I was mentioning about) OD: Normal Display Color Space: Wide Gamut (THIS MAKES THE COLOR POP MORE) All the other settings I didn't list such as blue light, color temp, dark boost, gamma and such didn't touch because that's all user preference. In conclusion, this monitor is very good for absolute competitive gaming and watching content. It's an IPS display with the fastest response time of any IPS (cause of ultrafast crystal and dual voltage driver) out there with little to no input lag (360hz) whatsoever. It's worth picking it up for hardcore gamers if it ever comes back in stock. ... show more

  • The best IPS gaming monitor you can buy
Style: 27" Fast IPS 360Hz QHD G-SYNC
I returned the Zowie xl2566k 360hz for this monitor, and I’ve been daily driving it for over a month now. And wow the difference is night and day. The colors and response times are so much then even other IPS panels. Of course it doesn’t have the same picture quality as an OLED, but it looks pretty damn good. It gets far brighter than any OLED, even WITH ULMB 2 turned on, which was a nice surprise. With ULMB, It doesn’t get quite as bright as the zowie does with Dyac, but it gets plenty bright for 90% of setups. A lot of other IPS panels with poor motion blur reduction implementation make the screen so dim so it’s not worth using the setting, so this is very important for this monitor. Speaking of motion clarity, this feels on par with the Zowie’s Dyac, but i wouldn’t say it’s better. Which isn’t a bad thing, the motion clarity on the Zowie is hard to top. Running games at 360hz and 1440P (which is certainly achievable in a lot of games with a high end card like the 4080S or 7900 XTX) with ULMB is a surreal experience. The crazy fast response times are very close to Zowie levels, which uses a less than optimal TN panel to achieve those response times. Going from 24.5 to 27 inches felt like a massive change at first, but after some adjusting the monitor no longer feels too big. This monitor feels like you are compromising nothing, but of course, that should be the case for the price. The current $730 feels worth it to me. Overall if you have the budget to spend $700 for a monitor, I think you won’t be disappointed with the PG27AQN. ... show more

  • Fast, all-around and pricey monitor
Style: 27" Fast IPS 360Hz QHD G-SYNC
TL;DR Very good but pricey monitor for competitive gamers and those who need to do productivity work. PG27AQN is a good all-around monitor. It has a very fast 360Hz IPS panel that can also be used for productivity work. I came from a fast 144Hz ultra-wide and a 240Hz 16:9 IPS. The 360Hz is noticeably smoother, but the difference isn't as huge as I expected. This monitor came with a factory calibration report, so the color accuracy should be excellent. I used the Reflex Analyzer and the display + PC latency is very low. This monitor also came with ULMB2 support that provides excellent motion clarity when you use a fixed refresh rate at 360Hz. This IPS panel is very bright, so it will provide more headroom when you enable ULMB2 which will significantly dim your display. With that being said, this monitor is still very pricey at $900 during Black Friday. It also doesn't come with DP2.1 or HDMI 2.1. Therefore, if you want to use 10-bit or 360Hz, you have to enable DSC which can sometimes result in loss of details. This is a limitation of the G-Sync module, and I hope ASUS can just abandon it or demand NVIDIA to upgrade their G-Sync module instead of putting ancient ports on a flagship monitor in 2023. This monitor is DisplayHDR 600 certified, but it's not really HDR-capable. This monitor uses edge-lit zone diming which does not really provide the necessary contrast and local dimming required for true HDR gaming. If you don't need to do productivity work or don't play multi-player, competitive FPS games, you should look for PG27AQDM instead; the WOLED monitor provides a much better color, contrast and HDR capabilities but is slightly worse in terms of motion clarity and much worse text clarity. ... show more
