As for price policy and availability, at the time of writing it is extremely difficult to buy Asus ROG Strix XG279Q (not available even on Newegg), so resellers want for this product from $700 to $1000. In the EU we are seeing limited availability, but here as well, overinflated prices in the 900 EUR ranges. Small-size power supply deserves special attention, and the design is very similar to the Apple power supply. It is easy to place under a table, thus the fact of an external power unit should positively affect its service life and maintainability, after all at failure of the power unit it is enough to buy new, thus not subjecting the monitor to total disassembly. Maximum power consumption ranges from 51 to 55W (taking into account the coefficient of PHY equal to 0.73) at a maximum brightness of 450 cd/m², with the number of 62W on the label. It is possible that the built-in loudspeakers will consume more watts. 36W for comfortable use with a brightness of 250 cd/m² and 31W for ELMB mode.
