ASUS' new " ROG Strix XG17AHPE ", which went on sale on June 26, is a portable gaming monitor equipped with an IPS panel that delivers excellent color reproduction and a 240Hz refresh rate.
Despite its 17.3-inch screen size, it is only 1cm thick and weighs only 1060g.
Today, ASUS Japan gave us the opportunity to touch and feel this dreamy product, the ROG Strix XG17AHPE, and we will be reviewing it right away!
ROG Strix XG17AHPE
ASUS' gaming brand, ROG, is a top-tier brand that produces mid-range to high-end products.
As a portable monitor worthy of the ROG name, it boasts high performance with 240hz refresh rate drive support and a 3ms response time.
It is comparable to the most popular gaming monitors in the market today.
It is amazing that it can be easily carried around with its versatility and performance that are beyond the category of mobile displays.
ASUS calls the ROG Strix XG17AHPE "the world's fastest portable gaming monitor.
Conveniently packaged outside
Monitors are very delicate peripherals, and they can get scratched when you open the package.
For this reason, we are always very careful when opening the package, but this outer box has a feature that solves such problems.
Can you see that as the angle of opening the box gets higher, the back side of the box is pushed upward?
This is an excellent feature that makes it easier to remove the monitor and contents in general.
You can't help but get excited at the sight of the box being pushed up.
When you open the box, you are greeted by the ASUS ROG brand icon.
I have opened various monitors in the past, but never before have I seen such a dramatic presentation.
A portable gaming monitor
This model features a screen size of 17.3 inches (width 399 mm, height 250 mm), a weight of 1,060 g, and a body thickness of 1 cm, making it extremely slim and lightweight compared to today's portable monitors.
Considering the screen size and battery capacity, it is hard to hide one's surprise at how lightweight it is at 1,060g.
The battery capacity is large at 7,800mAh, and even when running at 240Hz, it is said to run for 3.5 hours, allowing the user to watch two movies without recharging.
In addition, it supports "Quick Charge 3.0" and "USB Power Delivery 3.0" for quick charging, allowing up to 2 hours of continuous play at 240Hz with only 1 hour of charging.
Again, despite all this performance, the main unit is only 1 cm thick.
This model combines the smartness of a portable monitor with the performance of a gaming monitor.
It is sure to play a role in a variety of situations.
Comes with a smart cover that can also be used as a stand
Included in the package is a smart cover with magnetic adhesive that protects the LCD from scratches.
By folding it, the cover can be turned into a stand for the monitor.
Easy to use, just fold the Smart Cover toward you and turn it over.
After flipping over, the Smart Cover can be turned into a stand by attaching the Smart Cover's magnets to any location on the back of the monitor.
You can also adjust the angle of the monitor by changing the magnet attachment location.
By bending the lower part of the Smart Cover, it can be used as a vertical stand.
The Smart Cover's magnets are relatively strong, so they will not come off unexpectedly in everyday use.
As a handy sub-monitor
What kind of situations can the Smart Cover be used as a portable gaming monitor?
The editorial team at Saiga NAK loves fighting games such as Strike V and Samspy. Our members often play against each other.
However, we use only one monitor to play games, so it's very cramped.
They are so serious about competing with each other that they are huddled up against each other. It's very hot and uncomfortable just to watch!
To get out of this predicament, I would like to install another monitor, but moving a stationary monitor is very hard work.
Then I realized that there is a monitor that can be used in such a situation. But I realized that there is a monitor that can be used in such a situation.
Yes, you can use the XG17AHPE!
I immediately used the smart cover as a stand and plugged the cable into a gaming monitor with an HDMI output port. This is all that is needed to use the Smart Cover.
The hot and uncomfortable picture I saw earlier is now comfortable as if it were a lie.
Now you can say goodbye to the hot and humid days of two people huddled together.
"It's a gaming tournament at my friend's house! " you can take this ROG Strix XG17AHPE with you to play in comfort.
