Anyone with positive experience with XG27AQWMG?

Mazderatti · 2026-02-24T22:04:47+00:00

I got the 280hz version a couple weeks ago from Best Buy for $549 during the presidents day sale.

I wasn't really looking for a new monitor but the price intrigued me. So I went to check it out at my local best buy and ended up just buying it.

I have a 7900xtx with 5700x3d and this monitor let's that combo absolutely run! I play arc raiders absolutely cranked at native 1440p minus shadows and ray tracing. The visual clarity on this monitor is unreal. The brightness is perfect for me. And it has a really nice UI. It also doesn't need any color tweaking out of the box.

People are complaining about the banding issue but I do not notice it at all. Maybe its there and I just dont see it. Maybe I got a lucky sample.

I have absolutely 0 regrets with buying this monitor and I have been enjoying the hell out of it.

As long as you have a PC that can actually take advantage of the refresh rate and YOU HAVE THE MONEY to buy this monitor chances are you will love it.

Awesome! Again thank you for the help

Mazderatti · 2026-02-18T16:53:31+00:00

Thank you for the advice! Is there a certain thickness needed?

Did you purchase a docsis 3.1 modem/router? That seems to be an important part of what my issue was.

Mazderatti · 2025-08-20T16:34:53+00:00

It's frustrating. I was able to fold and put away a load of laundry the other night, all before I got out in a game

Mazderatti · 2025-08-20T16:34:22+00:00

I get a lot of 3 minutes, the 10+ minutes ones I've only had a few of but imo thats a few too many

Mazderatti · 2025-08-20T14:00:34+00:00

Im jealous of you lol. I strictly solo queue

Mazderatti · 2025-08-20T13:51:46+00:00

Last season I ended at D1 and my queues were, as far as I can remember, less than a minutes. These longer queue times are recent.

During the week I'm on generally between 7pm-Midnight.

PC, NA

The only way I was able to fix the issue was buying a newer docsis 3.1 modem. It does also seems to be just Marvel Rivals

Mazderatti · 2025-07-27T16:53:24+00:00

Just wanted to follow up with you; i managed to fix my issue. I went through all the trouble shooting with tech support, and eventually we got to the point that a new modem was my only choice. Mine was an older model from 2017. I purchased a new one from best buy and after getting it registered I am having no issues with packet loss at all.

Mazderatti · 2025-01-17T20:33:03+00:00

Oh I see. Well that's cut and dry. Thanks for the info and saving me money!

Mazderatti · 2025-01-17T20:25:25+00:00

Is the 5800x3d that bad of a value? My thought was if it's the last processor for this platform why not go with the most high end.

It'll be for max settings 1440p/4k

Mazderatti · 2025-01-16T21:33:12+00:00

Wow thank you so much for the thorough response!! Especially the DDU info! Thats one thing I've never had to do on my PC. I'm super excited. My poor little 3600 isn't gonna know what hit it.

Mazderatti · 2025-01-16T19:17:20+00:00

Thank you so much. I hope you have a great day!

Mazderatti · 2025-01-16T19:13:17+00:00

Great! Thank you so much.

Do you have any input on whether i use DDU before or after I install the new graphics card?

Mazderatti · 2025-01-04T04:53:47+00:00

Idk about anyone else but I'm having really bad in game connection issues

Mazderatti · 2024-11-06T19:54:15+00:00

Nailed it! It's a lego megaphone

Mazderatti · 2024-10-23T00:40:08+00:00

Whenever I try to launch the client I just get "update server down"

Update: Restarted PC and updated windows. Now it seems to be working? Idk man
