Our Verdict

ASUS ROG Strix 5K XG27JCG

ASUS ROG Strix Pulsar XG27AQNGV

The ASUS ROG Strix 5K XG27JCG and the ASUS ROG Strix Pulsar XG27AQNGV are different types of gaming monitors. The XG27JCG has a higher native 5k resolution, resulting in more detailed images, and it has a 1440p @ 330Hz dual mode, similar to the 360Hz refresh rate of the XG27AQNGV. Although they each use ULMB 2 for their backlight strobing, the XG27AQNGV uses a more versatile PULSAR mode that you can use at the same time as VRR over a wide refresh rate range. The XG27AQNGV also has better motion handling at any refresh rate. However, the XG27JCG is more versatile for work because it comes with a USB-C port and a KVM switch, which the XG27AQNGV doesn't have, and it helps if you want to connect a laptop.
