  • “Different” means the known values differ, not that one is better.
  • Missing or conflicting evidence is marked and never counts as a difference. Source chips hold each fact’s sources and conditions.

What it brings

  • USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode accepts video at up to 180 Hz from a source whose USB-C port supports DP Alt Mode, alongside DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0.
  • ELMB Sync is listed, so blur reduction can run with variable refresh; FreeSync, G-SYNC Compatible and VESA AdaptiveSync Display 180Hz are also listed.
  • The stand provides 120 mm height travel, ±45° swivel and ±90° pivot, with a 100 × 100 mm VESA pattern and a tripod socket.

What to check

MSI MAG 274QF

What it brings

  • The Rapid IPS panel reaches 180 Hz at 2560 × 1440 over DisplayPort with a 0.5 ms minimum GtG rating and 95% DCI-P3 / 124% sRGB (CIE 1976), and a 100 × 100 mm VESA mount allows arm mounting.

What to check

  • HDMI 2.0b tops out at 144 Hz at 2560 × 1440, the stand only tilts, and HDR is listed only as HDR Ready with no DisplayHDR certification. There are no USB ports, speakers or PIP/PBP.

UK ASUS part 90LM09Q0-B01170. The US ROG page’s embedded data lists part numbers 90LM09Q0-B011B3 (schema.org) and 90LM09Q0-B011B0 (product partNo), and its where-to-buy button uses configuration 90LM09Q0-B011C1; it lists the same panel, refresh, input, power and stand-height figures. Neither US table lists the HDR (High Dynamic Range) Support, Speaker, Swivel, Pivot, 1/4" Tripod Socket, GameFast Input technology or Color Calibration E-report rows present in the UK table, and the second US table also omits Aspect Control (omissions, not contrary values). The second US table adds HDCP 2.2, Trace Free Technology, Color Temp. Selection (4 modes), Low Blue Light (Hardware Solution) and Backlight Type LED, which the UK table does not list.Not provided

ASUS sources differ: the UK and US technical tables give on-mode “Power Consumption : <23.1W*” (an asterisked upper bound with no footnote), while the user guide’s specification table gives “Power Consumption 23.1 W” without “<” or an asterisk. Neither states a measurement basis or that the figure is typical. · Manufacturer specification
