Gaming-inspired aesthetics with a customizable light signature
ROG Strix XG27VQ continues the design legacy of ROG with its bold, streamlined design and iconic tripod stand. It also features ASUS Aura RGB lighting on the back and offers several lighting modes to provide a cool and stylish backdrop to any gaming setup.

It includes two ROG logo covers and one blank cover that users can customize with a marker to create their own unique light projections to enhance the desktop surface and gaming area.

ROG Strix XG27VQ features the ASUS GamePlus hotkey for in-game enhancements. The crosshair overlay provides four different crosshair options, while the onscreen timer positioned on the left of the screen helps gamers keep track of elapsed gaming time. The FPS counter lets users know how smoothly the game is running. The display alignment function provides three alignment lines on all four sides of the monitor to take the guesswork out of multi-display setups.

This is one of those odd articles absent of some basic info.. No real mention of resolution other than the words "Full HD"... Connectivity? IPS, VA, TN????

Asus can f*** off. They postponed the monitor everyone was waiting for (PG27UQ 4K 144hz Qdot) and gave absolutely no word on a release date for the PG35VQ (3440x1440 curved 200hz Qdot).
It's 2017, 1080p monitors are so 2006. I wish they'd stop flooding the market with more out-dated tech.

I guess that the panel manufacturer couldn't deliver in time.
As for 1080p monitors, if those wouldn't sell in 2017 they simply wouldn't make them, our personal opinion doesn't really matter.
Just take a look at single display resolution on Steams survey:
1366 x 768 21.53%
1680 x 1050 3.19%
1920 x 1080 48.78%
2560 x 1440 2.16%
3840 x 2160 0.86%
