Compatibility:
The ASUS ROG Strix XG27UQDMS is compatible with any computer or gaming console that supports its display resolutions and refresh rates via HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4 connections. It supports NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium, ensuring compatibility with both NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards.
Care:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, especially on the glossy screen.
- OLED Longevity: To minimize the risk of OLED burn-in, utilize the ASUS OLED Care features via the OSD. This includes functions like panel shifting and screen savers. Avoid displaying static images at maximum brightness for extended periods.
- Ventilation: Ensure the monitor has adequate ventilation. The custom heatsink assists with cooling, but avoid blocking the vents.
