Part numberXG27UCG
The short answer
The ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCG is a 27" Fast IPS monitor running 3840x2160 at 160 Hz. It is for a mini PC owner with a spare HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 or USB-C video output who wants a sharp picture with a high refresh rate.
The monitor's 15 W power delivery will not run the mini PC.
Specifications
The 27" panel is Fast IPS at 3840x2160 and 160 Hz. Besides the USB-C video input, which also supplies 15 W of power delivery, it has one DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1 input. Its HDR certification is VESA DisplayHDR 400. VESA mounting is supported, so a monitor arm is an option.

Which mini PCs it fits
A monitor needs a matching video output, and this one takes USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode), DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1. The ASUS ROG NUC 16, Apple Mac Studio (M5 Max), Beelink SER8 and Dell Pro Max Micro FCM2250 have a matching output.
The Beelink ME mini, GEEKOM A8 Max and GMKtec EVO-X3 fit, but 160 Hz at this resolution is not confirmed for their outputs. We have not confirmed the fit for the NIMO Mini PC Desktop AI Max+ 395 or ASUS ROG NUC 15, whose HDMI outputs we lack details on.
Checked against every mini PC sold on amazon.com, from the specifications we hold for each machine.

Before you buy
Check your mini PC's output before counting on 160 Hz at 3840x2160, which is not confirmed for the Beelink ME mini, GEEKOM A8 Max or GMKtec EVO-X3. The 15 W from the USB-C port will not run the GMKtec EVO-X3. ASUS does not state Thunderbolt input, a built-in KVM switch, daisy chain output or speakers.
Common questions
Can I connect it to a mini PC over USB-C?
Yes, it has a USB-C video input using DisplayPort Alt Mode, so a mini PC whose USB-C port outputs video can drive it. The port supplies only 15 W of power delivery.
Will it run at 160 Hz at full resolution on my mini PC?
That depends on the machine's video output. 160 Hz at this resolution is not confirmed for the Beelink ME mini, GEEKOM A8 Max or GMKtec EVO-X3, so check your output first.
Can I mount it on an arm?
Yes, it supports VESA mounting, so a monitor arm or bracket using that standard can hold it instead of the stand.
