ASUS ROG Swift PG27UCDM & Strix XG27AQDPG OLED Gaming Monitors Revealed

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has just revealed a two brand new OLED gaming monitors. The 27-inch ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM and the Strix OLED XG27AQDPG. Both of these gaming monitors feature what they’re calling fourth-generation ROG QD-OLED technology, promising improved visuals and the fantastic contrast we’ve come to expect from OLED, as well as the latest ROG OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0 technology.

PG27UCDM

ASUS say the PG27UCDM is the world’s first 27-inch 4K OLED gaming monitor with a superfast 240 Hz refresh rate, I’m not so sure it’s the first as there are other panels revealed with the same panel from Samsung, but it’s certainly one of the first.

It features a pixel density of 160ppi, providing sharper images and clearer text compared to previous-generation panels. It supports Dolby Vision and HDR10 formats, all selectable via the OSD menu. The monitor offers extensive connectivity options including DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20, HDMI 2.1, USB-C with 90-watt Power Delivery, and a USB hub. For user convenience, the ROG DisplayWidget Center offers quick access to monitor settings and OLED Care Pro features.

XG27AQDPG

The ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDPG is the world’s fastest OLED monitor. This stunning display features a 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED panel that delivers an astounding 500 Hz refresh rate, 0.03 ms response time, 10-bit colour, and 99% DCI-P3 gamut for supersmooth and amazingly lifelike gaming visuals.

OLED Care Pro

Both monitors feature the new ROG OLED Care Pro technology that includes the Neo Proximity Sensor that uses wavelength detection to accurately measure a user’s distance to the monitor. If no user is detected, the monitor automatically switches to a black screen to reduce the risk of burn-in. Lastly, the PG27UCDM and XG27AQDPG include 3-year warranties.

ROG OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0 technology

Both PG27UCDM and XG27AQDPG include ROG OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0 technology that minimizes onscreen flicker for comfortable gaming and viewing experiences. It leverages an advanced luminance compensation algorithm to dynamically boost pixel brightness during refresh rate fluctuations, resulting in 20% less flicker compared to previous generation panels for more uniform visuals without sacrificing input lag and refresh rates. The Refresh Rate Cap feature caps the monitor refresh rate to reduce onscreen flicker. It has three preset ranges (High / Mid / Off) to suit individual preferences.

Availability

The Swift OLED PG27UCDM will be available for preorder from January 21st. Unfortunately, no prices, but I suspect we’ll learn those at CES 2025 in a week or two.
