Superfast and smooth visuals

Available in black or white

ROG Strix XG16 is the first ROG portable gaming monitor to be offered with an entirely white finish. The monitor is also available with a classic black finish. Both models feature a unique rear cover design that gives each a distinct look.

Immersive gaming anywhere, anytime

ROG Strix XG16 gives gamers the ability to play anywhere without having to worry about running out of battery life. It has a built-in high-capacity 7800 mAh battery that provides up to three hours of viewing at 144 Hz, and a quick-charge function enables up to two hours of use after just an hour of charging.



A fold-out kickstand props Strix XG16 up to one of several viewing positions in both landscape and portrait orientation to provide the perfect viewing angles. Strix XG16 includes a tripod socket that’s compatible with standard tripods, allowing the monitor to be used as a secondary screen for a laptop or a larger screen for mobile devices. The Strix XG16AHP models additionally include a bundled ROG tripod. For added convenience, the lightweight and compact Strix XG16 slips easily into the ROG sleeve.
