ASUS ROG Strix XG279CNS computer monitor 68.6 cm (27") 1920 x 1080 pixels Full HD LCD Black

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The ASUS ROG Strix XG279CNS is a solid choice if you want a gaming-first 27-inch screen but don’t want to stretch your budget too far into the “premium spec” territory. Where it makes sense is fast action—competitive games and general PC use feel responsive, and the overall ROG tuning is usually good for motion clarity and a punchy picture. At £382.18 ex-VAT, though, it’s only a good deal if you specifically value the gaming features and panel behavior it’s built around, because you’re paying for performance/effort rather than raw resolution.

That said, I’d be cautious if this is going into a typical office or mixed-use setup. In 2026, a 27-inch Full HD monitor at this price can feel like you’re overpaying when many alternatives push higher resolution for similar money. If your workflows involve lots of spreadsheets, dashboards, or text-heavy tasks, you’ll notice the difference day to day. I’d recommend it mainly for teams buying for gaming rigs (or anyone who’s happy with Full HD and prioritises gaming smoothness over desktop sharpness), and I’d push back for general business users unless the rest of your stack (GPU, games, priorities) really lines up with what this monitor is aiming to do.

If you tell me what it’s for (mostly gaming vs mixed work) and what other monitors/budgets you’re comparing against, I can give you a sharper “buy / don’t buy” call for your exact use case.
