ASUS’ ROG Strix XG17AHP portable Gaming Monitors are now available

Today, ASUS has confirmed to us that these new displays are now available in the US and UK, though retail stock appears to be limited in the UK at this time. 

ASUS has revealed a higher-end variant of its ROG Strix XG17AHPE, a new model which comes with additional accessories and features which will elevate the screen’s user experience to another level. This new screen is the ROG Strix XG17AHP, a screen which offers users the same feature set as its lower-end counterpart with the addition of a ROG carry case and a tripod mount. 
 
Why is the tripod so important? This tripod allows the Strix XG17AHP to act like a normal monitor. You can use it with your laptop to add an extra screen above your notebook, orient the screen to sit at a comfortable angle or otherwise locate the screen at an optimal location. The folding stand of the XG17AHPE, which the XG17AHP also ships with, limits ASUS’ screen to specific screen orientations, a factor which makes the screen less versatile for mobile gaming and workstation uses. Add in ASUS’ ROG carry bag, and the XG17AHP is a much better portable monitor for end users.
