The ROG Strix XG27ACG-W is the monitor we suggest for a white gaming setup. The white shell and stand match white cases and peripherals, and Aura Sync lighting can follow the rest of your RGB. The Fast IPS panel runs 2560 x 1440 at 180 Hz with a 1 ms (GtG) response time, ELMB Sync and Adaptive-Sync, and ASUS rates it at 95% DCI-P3 with 400 nits.
It has a USB-C input with DisplayPort Alt Mode, handy for a laptop or a handheld PC, but it only supplies 7.5 W, so it will not charge a laptop. The single HDMI port is 2.0 and tops out at 144 Hz. The stand adjusts in height (120 mm) and tilt, with 100 x 100 mm VESA holes.
Where it sits in real desks, and why it earned its place there.
Why it is here
A white 27-inch 1440p Fast IPS gaming monitor at 180 Hz, with a height-adjustable stand and a USB-C video input for a laptop or a handheld. Connect the PC over DisplayPort, since HDMI stops at 144 Hz. Sold in the US only, through a marketplace seller on Newegg.
