⚡ Engineering Highlights at a Glance:

• Dual-Mode Resolution: Instantly switch between 4K@162Hz for immersive titles and FHD@485Hz for competitive FPS play.
• Fast IPS Panel: 27-inch 3840 x 2160 with 1ms GTG response (0.3ms min) and 400 cd/m² typical brightness.
• Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync: Combines ELMB with variable refresh rate to reduce ghosting without tearing.
• 95% DCI-P3 / 130% sRGB: Wide color coverage with 10-bit color depth and advanced gray-scale tracking for smooth gradation.
• USB-C with DP Alt Mode: One cable handles video, data, and up to 15W Power Delivery for compatible laptops and devices.
• Smart Pixel Technology: Enhances detail at lower resolutions, keeping FHD content sharp on the 4K panel.
• VESA DisplayHDR 400 and Adaptive-Sync: HDR10 support plus AMD FreeSync Premium and G-SYNC Compatible VRR.

GPU and Cable Requirements for Dual-Mode

To reach 4K@162Hz and FHD@485Hz, the monitor requires DisplayPort 1.4 (HBR3) or HDMI 2.1 (FRL) from a compatible graphics card. USB-C with DP Alt Mode also supports both modes. Older GPUs without HDMI 2.1 or HBR3 will cap at lower refresh rates. Verify your GPU’s output capabilities before purchase if you plan to use the higher refresh modes. The USB-C port is limited to 15W Power Delivery, so it is intended for display and data rather than as a laptop charging dock.

Panel and Pixel Density

The 27-inch 4K panel has a pixel pitch of 0.155mm, giving very sharp text and fine detail. Because it is an IPS panel with 1300:1 contrast ratio, black levels are good for IPS but not as deep as OLED. Smart Pixel technology helps FHD content stay sharp when using the FHD@485Hz mode. Use DisplayWidget Center to adjust monitor settings with a mouse, including brightness, contrast, and gaming presets, without touching the OSD joystick.

Ergonomics and Connectivity

The stand supports tilt (-5° to +20°), swivel (±40°), pivot (±90°), and 110mm height adjustment, plus a 100x100mm VESA mount and a 1/4″ tripod socket. The monitor weighs 6.8 kg with stand, so confirm your arm’s weight rating if you plan to use a monitor arm. The monitor has no built-in speakers; use headphones or external speakers via the 3.5mm jack. Aura Sync on the rear allows lighting to match other ASUS peripherals in Armoury Crate.

Connect the monitor via DisplayPort 1.4 (HBR3) or HDMI 2.1 (FRL) to reach 4K@162Hz, then bind the dual-mode hotkey to switch to FHD@485Hz for competitive shooters. Enable G-SYNC or FreeSync Premium in your GPU driver and turn off any in-game frame rate caps below 162Hz in 4K mode or 485Hz in FHD mode to benefit from VRR.

For laptop use, connect via USB-C to combine video, data, and up to 15W charging on one cable. Note that 15W is not enough to charge most gaming laptops; it is intended for lightweight laptops and mini-PCs. Use Smart Pixel technology to keep FHD content sharp when running lower resolutions on the 4K panel.

Use DisplayWidget Center to adjust brightness, contrast, and gaming presets with a mouse instead of the OSD. For color-critical work, run a color calibration and use the DisplayWidget Center E-report to verify the panel’s accuracy. The panel covers 95% DCI-P3 and 130% sRGB; check your specific workflow for Adobe RGB coverage if print work is required.

Enable Aura Sync in Armoury Crate to match the monitor’s rear lighting with your other ASUS peripherals. Because the monitor has no built-in speakers, plan to use headphones or external speakers via the 3.5mm jack. If you mount on a monitor arm, check the arm’s weight rating against the 6.8 kg with-stand weight, and use the 100x100mm VESA or 1/4″ tripod socket as needed.
