Asus ROG XG27AQWMG impressions as my first OLED monitor

Pluses:

  • great glossy finish
  • great HDR using RenoDX
  • high refresh rate is a welcome change from my 75Hz IPS

Minuses:

  • takes a long time to wake up from standby
  • had to play a bit with Cleartype to have a satisfactory text clarity
  • the SDR isn't such a big jump from my IPS that I hoped for (granted I have got no backlight bleed and 100% sRGB IPS panel)

Gray banding

  • didn't do any of those YouTube 95% gray tests, but I can't notice any gray banding in dark mode applications nor during gaming
  • I have got January 2026 batch and using the latest MCM107 firmware
