ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMES: 26.5" QHD QD-OLED at 240Hz

OLED contrast with esports speed. The 26.5-inch 2560 × 1440 QD-OLED panel refreshes at up to 240Hz with a 0.03ms (GTG) response time, and because every pixel lights itself the contrast ratio reaches 1,500,000:1. It covers 99% DCI-P3 in 10-bit colour at ΔE < 2, protects the panel with ASUS OLED Care and a Neo Proximity Sensor, and connects over two HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 DSC.

OLED Speed for Competitive Play

A 0.03ms pixel response leaves almost no smearing behind moving targets, and 240Hz with G-SYNC Compatible / FreeSync Premium keeps frame delivery smooth. ELMB, Dynamic Crosshair, Dynamic Shadow Boost and AI Visual add ROG's gaming assists on top.

STUDIO & WORKSTATION

True Blacks for Cinema and Creative Work

Self-lit pixels switch fully off, so dark film scenes and HDR games show real black next to 400-nit highlights. 99% DCI-P3 at ΔE < 2, with a colour-calibration E-report in DisplayWidget Center, also makes it useful for photo editing, and the stand pivots to portrait.

ERGONOMIC STAND

Height, Tilt, Swivel and Pivot

Side view of the thin OLED panel tilted on the stand column. ASUS rates the stand for 0–110 mm of height travel, tilt from -5° to +20°, ±45° swivel and ±90° pivot; the panel has a VESA 100 × 100 mm mount (kit in the box) and a 1/4" tripod socket.

Two HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 DSC

Frequently Asked Questions & Store Policies

TECH SPECS What is QD-OLED and how is it different from IPS?
In a QD-OLED panel each pixel produces its own light, with quantum dots converting it to red and green. Pixels switch fully off for true black (1,500,000:1 contrast) and change state in 0.03ms, far faster than an IPS LCD, which needs a backlight.
TECH SPECS How does it protect against burn-in?
ASUS OLED Care runs pixel-refresh and screen-saver routines, and the Neo Proximity Sensor detects when you leave and blanks the screen so static images do not stay lit. Varying content and using the dark Windows theme also help.
TECH SPECS Why is typical brightness 200 nits?
OLED panels limit full-screen brightness to protect the pixels. ASUS rates 200 nits typical and 400 nits HDR peak for small highlights; with true black behind them, highlights look bright in a dim or normally lit room.
TECH SPECS Which cable for 240Hz?
Either. ASUS lists 48–240Hz on both HDMI 2.1 (FRL) ports and on DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC at 2560 × 1440. A DisplayPort cable and an HDMI cable are included.
TECH SPECS Is the screen 26.5 or 27 inches?
The panel measures 26.5 inches diagonally (590.42 × 333.72 mm viewing area). ASUS groups it with its 27-inch monitors, and it has the same 2560 × 1440 resolution as a 27-inch QHD screen.
