FAQs
What is QD-OLED technology and why is it beneficial?
QD-OLED combines Quantum Dot technology with OLED. It offers the perfect blacks and pixel-level control of OLED with the increased brightness, color volume, and longevity of Quantum Dots, resulting in stunning visuals and reduced risk of burn-in compared to traditional OLEDs.
How do I activate G-SYNC or FreeSync?
First, ensure your monitor is connected via DisplayPort. Then, enable Adaptive Sync in the monitor's OSD menu. Next, go to your graphics card's control panel (NVIDIA Control Panel for G-SYNC, AMD Radeon Software for FreeSync) and enable the respective technology. Ensure your game is also configured to support variable refresh rate.
What is the purpose of the Neo Proximity Sensor and ASUS OLED Care Pro?
These features are designed to protect the QD-OLED panel from permanent image retention (burn-in). The Neo Proximity Sensor turns the screen black when no user is detected, and ASUS OLED Care Pro includes features like pixel shifting and static logo dimming to minimize stress on the pixels during static content display.
Can I use this monitor with a console like PS5 or Xbox Series X?
Yes, the monitor supports HDMI 2.1, which is necessary for features like 4K at 120Hz on newer consoles. However, the 360Hz refresh rate is primarily for PC gaming. Console support will depend on the specific output capabilities of the console and the game being played.
What is the warranty period for this monitor?
The ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDNG comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
How does the 360 Hz refresh rate benefit gameplay?
A higher refresh rate means the monitor displays more frames per second, resulting in smoother motion, reduced input lag, and a more responsive feel. This is particularly advantageous in competitive, fast-paced games where quick reactions are critical.
What is the native resolution and recommended resolution?
The native resolution of the monitor is 2560 x 1440 (Quad HD). This is also the recommended resolution for optimal clarity and performance, especially when paired with its high refresh rate.
Troubleshooting
Monitor not turning on
Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet. Check if the power button is properly pressed. Try a different power outlet.
No signal detected / blank screen
Verify that the video cable is securely connected to both the monitor and the graphics card. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor via the OSD. Try a different video cable or port. Update graphics drivers.
Screen flickering or tearing
Enable Adaptive Sync (G-SYNC or FreeSync) in the monitor's OSD and in your graphics card's control panel. Ensure you are using a DisplayPort connection for maximum compatibility. Lower in-game graphics settings if your GPU is struggling to maintain a stable frame rate.
Colors appear inaccurate or washed out
Adjust color settings in the monitor's OSD. Recalibrate the display using a colorimeter if professional accuracy is required. Ensure the correct color profile is selected in your operating system.
Motion blur or ghosting
Ensure the Response Time setting is appropriate (e.g., 'Fastest' or 'Normal'). Check that Adaptive Sync is enabled and functioning correctly. Lowering the refresh rate slightly might help if the issue persists at 360 Hz.
