Just checked: PG27 production starts now in May, so mid/late May/early June for first markets depending on how it's being shipped.
Not sure X series yet. It's often mostly waiting for mass-production of panel availability and/or mass production to meet a certain quality standard.
For the record: Monitors don't wait for graphics cards. They just launch on their own schedule.*

This monitor is always on. I noticed when I pressed the power button on the monitor I can still see an image. Only thing pressing the power button does is turn off all LEDs on the monitor including the aesthetic ones. At first, I thought it was burn-in, but IPS getting burn-in is unheard of. Yall can try it yourselves. Have a program window open that is white and then turn the monitor off. Now shine a flashlight in that area and your see the window still being shown.

Can you guys hook it up to a UPS or something that tracks watts usage and see how much it drops when you "turn it off"? Or if it doesn't drop at all? Because that would be a tremendous finding if it draws the same amount of power off and on. Like, huge big deal that will cause a recall.

i bought a watt electricity usage monitor, very interesting numbers. My Pg27aq using about 45-50Watt when its on and when i turn it off with the button its absolute 0.
Now the pg27uq.... I though it will use more electricity since the ac/dc module is like twice as big as my pg27aq but its not much more... now the pg27uq is using about 70-75 watt (no matter what refresh rate or settings) and when i turn it off with the button its still using 33 watt. Its obviously not normal imo, although i believe if asus is aware of this then it can be solved with a firmware update... we will need one anyway... also the fan not turning off for me.. like ever... its not loud its not annoying but we know the rule... "If anything can go wrong, it will". especially with moving parts like a fan.
Any official asus comment on this would be greatly appreciated!

Oh. i found the missig watts.... when i turn on HDR for games it can go above 125 watts 😄

You need to turn on DisplayPort deepsleep. Its still using watts after u press the power button because the fans will keep running till the system is completely cool. Once the fan turns off, you cant see anything on the screen when using a light.
I think they need to increase the temperature threshold for the fan when power is of or when there is no signal.
I think its around 30c right now. They should increase it to 40c.

Check if there's a difference in watts with and without variable refresh rate on. And it might be able to hit 180watts if you can get the entire screen to display 1000nits for atleast 1 second.
