**The Future of Gaming Monitors: The ASA and ASUSROG X27**

As we approach the next generation of gaming monitors, it's exciting to see what innovations and advancements will shape the industry. Two such monitors that have caught our attention are the ASUS ROG X27 and the ASA X27. These high-end displays boast impressive features, including a 144Hz refresh rate, HDR support, and Quantum Dot technology.

The ASUS ROG X27 is still an excellent option for those looking for a G-Sync monitor, with a 2X 27-inch screen that provides a great gaming experience. However, the ASA X27 takes it to the next level with its impressive specs. On one hand, we have the current 4K UHD monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate, which is still a great option for those who want high-resolution gaming without the need for extremely fast frame rates. But if you're looking for a true gaming powerhouse, the ASA X27 offers a significant upgrade.

The ASA X27 features a 20.18-inch screen with a stunning 144Hz refresh rate, making it perfect for gamers who demand smooth and responsive gameplay. What's more impressive is its HDR support, which provides a more immersive viewing experience. The monitor can reach an incredible 1000 nits of brightness, which is comparable to the latest HDR 4K TVs. This means that highlights like explosions and sunlit scenes will truly stand out, making for a more engaging and realistic gaming experience.

But what really sets the ASA X27 apart is its ability to handle the demands of next-gen graphics cards. The new GeForce GTX 1180 or 2080 series, expected to be announced in August, will provide the necessary power to take full advantage of these monitors' features. This means that gamers can expect a smooth and responsive gaming experience at high frame rates, making the ASA X27 an ideal choice for those who want the best of both worlds: 4K resolution and high refresh rates.

In addition to its impressive specs, the ASA X27 also offers a range of connectivity options, including HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4. This ensures that gamers can easily connect their console or PC and enjoy seamless gameplay. The monitor also features ASUS' proprietary G-Sync technology, which reduces screen tearing and provides a smoother gaming experience.

While the ASA X27 is certainly an exciting development in the world of gaming monitors, there are some potential drawbacks to consider. Firstly, HDR support is still relatively rare on PC, with only around 30 games currently supporting it. However, as hardware improves, we can expect more developers to add support for this feature. Secondly, the monitor's size may be a limitation for some users – at 20.18 inches, it's not quite large enough to fully appreciate the benefits of high-resolution gaming.

Finally, there's one major concern: price. The ASA X27 is expected to launch in June, and with its impressive specs, it's likely to be priced around £1,500 or more. This is significantly higher than the current 4K ASUS ROG X27, which will be a considerable investment for many gamers.

**Conclusion**

As we wait for our full review of the ASA X27, it's clear that these monitors are shaping up to be some of the best gaming displays on the market. With their impressive specs, HDR support, and G-Sync technology, they offer an unparalleled gaming experience. While there are some potential drawbacks to consider, including limited HDR support and a high price tag, we believe that the ASA X27 is well worth considering for serious gamers who demand the very best.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enright okay so I want to share something with you guys because I've just had the chance to see the next generation of gaming monitors and they're incredible the asou ro GPG 27 you cube and the ASA Pro 2 X 27 are 27 inch 4k 144 Hertz g-sync HDR monitors and not just a crappy sort of HDR we're seeing at the moment these are quantum dot VA panels that support HDR 10 at 1000 nits stop the presses because we're finally seeing proper HDR coming to PC monitors I mean just look at the difference on the left is the current a 2 X 27 which is still a very good IPs g-sync monitor but on the right is the new 20 18 ASA X 27 with a 144 Hertz refresh g-sync and support for high dynamic range playing FF 15 with HDR turned on even though you're not watching this video in HD are you can still see the difference in brightness contrast and color I promise you in person it's a big difference the old SDR Martyr looks dull and washed out in comparison so at the moment if you buy a HDR enabled monitor it's probably gonna have three to 400 nits of brightness which simply isn't bright enough to get the full effect of high dynamic range these new panels which as I say are VA and use a quantum dot film which is the same sort of technology that Samsung is in their TV although this is by a different manufacturer but it means we're getting a whopping 1000 nits of brightness which is on par with the latest HDR 4k TVs and makes HDR enable games on PC looks so much better highlights like the Sun no explosions really stand out and give you a more immersive vibrant but also a more realistic look as HDR like this is closer to what the human eye would actually see in the real world so that's pretty cool but it's not all about HDR these are also the first 4k uhd monsters we've seen with a higher than 60 Hertz refresh rate both the ASA and the asustor are 4k 120 Hertz out of the box but they can be overclocked to 144 Hertz as a gamer myself I'm sure you'd agree that you'd rather go for a full or quad HD resolution but with a higher refresh rate rather than 4k at 60 Hertz well now you can get the best of both worlds 4k at 144 but I know what you're thinking because I thought the same thing even a GTX 10 atti I've got one in my PC behind me can't really push 4k beyond 60fps in the latest games at high settings so how would we even take advantage of a high refresh rate at 4k well you're right but you would still feel the benefit on the desktop and if you played all the games or drop the graphic settings you might be able to make use of it but the truth is these are next-gen monitors for next gen graphics cards the new geforce gtx 1180 or 2080 whatever it's called which is expected to be announced in august will be a big step up in performance and will give you the power you need to properly take advantage of these monitors but these aren't just for PC games either you'll be able to hook up your ps4 pro or your xbox 1x and get the full 4k 6 the HDR experience that normally you'd only get on a TV but of course PC gamers will also enjoy the benefits of g-sync which reduces screen tearing and helps give you a smoother frame weight in games so that's all very exciting and they are genuinely very very impressive monitors but let's get back to reality there's a couple problems firstly HDR the fact is on PC there's only about 30 or so games that support it right now ff15 battlefield 1 destiny 2 and Far Cry 5 are good examples but we need more although hopefully now we do have the hardware that can deliver proper HDR developers are more likely to add support in their games secondly I just wish they were bigger the monitors I've seen so far are all 27 inches which is fine but from 4k in my opinion you really need 32 inches at least to really appreciate the difference although to be fair bigger and also ultra monitors are coming out later in the year around q3 and finally the price right now it's not been confirmed exactly how much the esos or the ASA monitors will be but my educated guess will be about 1,500 pounds or euros or dollars that's about three times the price of the current 4k ASA X 27 so as a high refresh rate high brightness and proper HD are really worth paying an extra thousand pounds for well last thing now is wait for my full review which will be coming in a few weeks I already had a brief amount of time hand with them so you have to review it properly before I can say for sure one way or another these are both confirmed to launch in June so do make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss my full views coming soon and of course let me know where you make of it in the comments would you consider upgrading and how much do you think you would actually pay for this and is HDR really a big deal to
