How to install ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQM

Getting up and running with the ROG Strix XG27AQM is straightforward. Start by placing the monitor on your desk in a comfortable position and ensuring ample space for cable routing and airflow. If your model ships with a stand, attach the stand base and adjust the height, tilt, and swivel to your preferred ergonomic setup. If you’re mounting the monitor on a compatible arm or stand, remove the included stand and secure the display according to your mounting system’s instructions. Align the screen so you have an unobstructed view of the center panel and maximize your comfort for extended gaming sessions.

Connect the monitor to your PC or console using DisplayPort for the best bandwidth and feature support, or HDMI if you’re using an alternate route. Ensure your system’s GPU drivers are up to date to enable the full capabilities of G‑SYNC Compatible and ELMB SYNC technologies. Once powered on, navigate the on‑screen display (OSD) to configure color temperature, brightness, contrast, and gamma settings to your preference. For HDR content, enable DisplayHDR 400 mode in the OSD and adjust local dimming and peak brightness if available on your system to achieve richer blacks and brighter highlights. If you’re on an NVIDIA GPU, open the NVIDIA Control Panel to enable G‑SYNC Compatible and, where available, pair it with ELMB SYNC settings to optimize motion clarity.

Finally, consider saving a preferred gaming profile within the ASUS software ecosystem or within your GPU control panel, so you can switch between competitive, cinematic, or standard modes with a single click. Regularly check for firmware or driver updates from ASUS and your GPU maker to ensure you’re taking advantage of performance improvements, bug fixes, and new features that can enhance color accuracy, input responsiveness, and overall stability during play.
