ASUS is seemingly finding success on its Gundam-customized products - particularly in Asia, where the franchise has more, and more fervent, adherents. The company is about to release a new gaming monitor on their ROG Strix line (part number XG279Q-G) which features aesthetics inspired on the famous anime series. This also means that it's likely this is only a regional release, and not a global one, which means that non-Asia users will have to find a way to import these monitors from resellers.

The ROG Strix XG279Q-G GUNDAM EDITION monitor features a 27" diagonal, and carries a "Fast IPS" panel with up to 170 Hz refresh rates and 1 ms response times. The monitor is G-Sync Compatible (which means it features VRR, also marketed as AMD's FreeSync in times past), features a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and typical brightness of 400 nits (with DisplayHDR 400 certification). ASUS' Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB SYNC ) is present as well. There's support for ASUS' Aura Sync for RGB lighting elements on the back of the monitor. I/O is taken care of by 1x DisplayPort 1.2, 2x HDMI 2.0, a 2x USB 3.0 HUB, and 1x earphone jack. No word on pricing or availability (or select regional availability) were available at time of writing.

Besides that it's flat and not curved I don't see much difference to most RogStrix screens. Oh. It's white and says Gundamn on the back where in 90% of the time the wall is so close that no one ever will see it......

I have the 34" curved rog strix screen and one of the old 27" 1440p ones is still in use by my GF good 10 years after I bought it so I'm not hating on Asus (I actually like their products) but I don't get this "branded" thing here.... I thought a "Gundamn" special edition would be a bit different than just a "white" color-scheme ..... Just expecting a bit more design-wise....

Yes, but it's cheaper this way and there's no need to redesign/retool. It's capitalism.

Only interesting monitors are the ones with a 21:9 aspect ratio. All the rest are boring.
