ASUS has launched its latest gaming monitor, the ROG Strix XG27WQ, which carries a feature set that – while not revolutionary – should tick most gamers’ boxes.

Now that I have time off to think I am going back and forth on my next monitor. I have the 32 inch MSI now but it started to develop a few dead pixels which can be annoying. Not sure If I want to downsize to a 27 inch nice monitor like the Asus or go to something like the newer Alienware 34 inch curved monitor. Also been considering 4K. I guess I have more time to look into this now that our stay at home order has been extended.
