Tom's Hardware reviewed Asus' new ROG Strix XG27AQNGV, a 27-inch QHD IPS gaming monitor with a 360Hz refresh rate, HDR support, and Nvidia's G-Sync Pulsar technology. Pulsar syncs the monitor's backlight with the frame rate in real time, aiming to eliminate motion blur on LCD panels without the brightness loss typical of older strobing methods. The reviewer called it highly tunable, suited to both casual and competitive gamers.
