Competitive Pricing

Interestingly, Asus has managed to offer a lower price than Samsung, even though the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDPG features the same panel as the Odyssey G60SF. This monitor is priced at $899.99 when purchased from Asus’ official online store. Asus has stated that pre-orders are set to start shipping on August 22, although it looks like some initial orders started getting delivered to customers as early as August 5.

Specifications and Features

As previously mentioned, the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDPG boasts a refresh rate of 500 Hz and a resolution of 1440p (2,560 x 1,440) on its 27-inch screen. All monitors that utilize the same QD-OLED panel are expected to have similar specifications. To set the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDPG apart from competitors, Asus has included a custom heatsink, a Neo Proximity Sensor, and a 3-year warranty. Complete information about these features can be found on their website. Currently, in the Eurozone, retailers list the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDPG at an MSRP of €1,149. However, many shops have already reduced the price to as low as €999.
