Our Verdict
Dell G2724D
ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS
The Dell G2724D and the ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS are competing entry-level 1440p gaming monitors. They perform similarly, and the biggest differences come down to features. The ASUS has extra features like a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode, and ELMB backlight strobing to reduce persistence blur. The ASUS also has better motion handling, but they're both good choices for gaming.

Hi, thanks for your question. The PS5’s VRR range is 48Hz to 60Hz if you set the PS5 to 60Hz, so there’s not a big VRR range there. However, if the frame rate of a game dips somewhere between 48fps and 60fps you’ll have a smoother experience with VRR on.
What is advantage of VRR support 4k 60hz? I
Hi, the two are very evenly matched when it comes to input lag and motion blur at 60Hz, you likely won’t notice a difference between the two. While they have the same capabilities with the Xbox, the G2724D actually has an edge with the PS5, as it supports VRR at 4k @ 60Hz, while the ASUS doesn’t.
So, xg27acs performs better gaming on console ? Because most console game is 60h z.
