Included in the box are DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, and audio cables. The XG270HU comes with a three-year warranty on parts, labor, and backlight. (Opens in a new window) Read Our Asus ROG Swift PG348Q Review The monitor's 2-watt speakers are moderately loud, but lack bass.

They are all located around back, facing outward, and are joined by an audio input and a headphone jack. You don't get any USB ports with this display, but you do get three video inputs: one HDMI 2.0, one DisplayPort 1.2, and one DVI. The panel has a peak brightness of 350cd/m 2, a 16:9 aspect ratio, a 1,000:1 native contrast ratio, and a non-reflective, antiglare coating.

It's also missing a few key features, such as USB ports, dual HDMI ports, and a fully adjustable stand, that you get with more expensive models, like our Editors' Choice for large-screen gaming monitors, the LG 27UD88-W ($699.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window).
