The ROGÂ Strix XG43UQ monitor isÂ
a 43-inch 4K monitor that supports refresh rates of up to 144Hz with ELMB Sync, DisplayHDR 1000 support and an AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certification. Using DisplayPort 1.4, the Strix XG43UQ monitor can offer 144Hz 4K image outputs through Display Stream Compression, and 4K 120Hz support through HDMI 2.1. These high refresh rates can be achieved without chroma subsampling.This monitor also supports ASUS’s ELMB Sync technology, delivering users Variable Refresh rate support alongside ASUS’ Extreme Low Motion Blur technology, giving gamers VRR support and motion blur reduction. This allows gamers to benefit from sharper visuals, high framerates and variable refresh rates. Â

With two HDMI 2.1 connections and a single DisplayPort 1.4 connection, ASUS’ ROG Strix XG43UQ can be connected to a PC, Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 simultaneously, which is great news for hardcore gamers.
The ROG Strix XG43UQ uses a 43-inch matte HDR display, minimising screen reflectivity. This factor helps differentiate the ROG Strix XG43UQ from most other 43-inch screens.
While ASUS’ ROG Strix screen does boast a lot of features, it is a 43-inch VA panel with edge-lit local dimming, giving the screen a level of HDR support that’s inferior to OLED screens. That said, no OLED screens that we know of support both DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 and 144Hz refresh rates at 4K. ASUS’ ELMB-Sync feature is also a useful add-on for gamers.
At Overclockers UK, ASUS’ ROG Strix XG43UQ has a UK pricepoint of £1,348.99, which is a lot for a single screen. That said, this screen is an HDMI 2.1 compatible HDR monitor that supports high refresh rates. Those are all premium features, though this monitor’s pricing does price it similarly to LG’s 4K HDMI 2.1 OLED TVs.Â
