7.3 / 10 Expert Rating
One of the thinnest, lightest 15.6-inch portable monitors around, from a brand with real panel-making pedigree.
ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ
8.2 / 10 Expert Rating
A well-built mid-tier QHD gaming monitor that improves on budget IPS panels without reaching OLED pricing or performance.
