The XG27AQDMG's design is streamlined, featuring a flat metal stand encased in a plastic shell. This stand design is notably simpler than the tri-point stands found on other ROG models, such as the PG34WCDM, which often include a signature ROG underglow. Despite the simplified design, the stand remains functional and space-efficient, allowing for the placement of items on it and minimizing desk space usage.

From the front, the monitor presents a modern appearance with slim bezels and a glossy display panel. The Asus branding is prominently displayed with a glowing red ROG logo, distinguishing it from competitors. The back of the monitor features a thin profile with subtle etching that highlights its gaming focus. Additionally, an RGB-LED accent in the shape of the Asus ROG logo is present, which can be customized via the on-screen menu or synchronized with other RGB-LED devices using Asus’ Aura Sync.

The stand of the ROG Strix XG27AQDMG is compact and flat, which helps reduce the monitor’s footprint on your desk. It offers a range of adjustments, including height, tilt, swivel, and 90-degree pivot for portrait orientation.

Specifically, it provides 25 degrees of tilt, 90 degrees of swivel, and 180 degrees of pivot, allowing for vertical display in either direction. The stand also includes a cable-routing channel and a notch in the base to hold a phone. If desired, users can opt for a third-party stand or arm, thanks to the 100x100mm VESA display mount compatibility.

The monitor's specifications are competitive with other OLED monitors, making it difficult to differentiate at a glance. However, its functionality and user-friendly design set it apart. The XG27AQDMG is designed to meet the needs of gamers who want high-quality visuals and efficient use of space without compromising on adjustability or customization.
