The ROG Strix XG27 JCG (such a catchy name) can switch between 5K (5,120 x 2,880) at 180Hz for detailed AAA games, or QHD at 330Hz for e-sports speed.

Everyone’s favorite movie-rating social media platform has entered the video rental game. Unlike other rental services, this one is highly curated, launching with just nine films.
