ASUS has made a significant leap in the gaming monitor market with the introduction of its new LG Tandem OLED-based monitors. These cutting-edge displays are engineered to offer exceptional brightness and remarkable visuals, thanks to innovative OLED technology.
ASUS Unveils Premier OLED Gaming Monitor with Versatile Configurations and a Mid-Range Variant
Renowned for its hardware and peripheral excellence, ASUS has officially launched its first series of gaming monitors powered by LG’s RGB Tandem OLED technology. This new advancement utilizes a sophisticated four-layer emission system of red, green, and blue, resulting in enhanced image clarity. Consequently, gamers can expect stunning visuals whether in standard dynamic range (SDR) or high dynamic range (HDR) modes.
The standout model, known as the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W, is touted as the fastest OLED gaming monitor on the market today. It features an impressive dual-mode setup that allows users to switch between 540Hz at 1440p and 720Hz at 720p. The 540Hz refresh rate is striking for 1440p resolution, while the 720Hz setting, though limited to 720p, offers an exceptionally swift gaming experience.




Initial details about the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W were revealed in China as the ROG Super Kill 27 Pro two weeks ago, with ASUS now providing comprehensive specifications on its official site. Additionally, the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG has been introduced as a mid-range alternative, which also features the LG Tandem OLED panel but offers up to a 280Hz refresh rate at 1440p resolution. This refresh rate is considered ample for competitive gaming, although it does come with some sacrifices in terms of connectivity when compared to its flagship counterpart.




In terms of specifications, both monitors exhibit similar display properties and feature a glossy coating. They support a wide color gamut, achieving 99.5% DCI-P3 and 135% sRGB color spaces, ensuring vibrant and accurate images with a Delta E rating of less than 2. While ASUS has not disclosed the SDR brightness for these models, they state a remarkable peak HDR brightness of 1500 nits. It is expected that the SDR maximum brightness will range between 300 and 350 nits, which remains impressive.
Connectivity options differ between models; the ROG Swift PG27AQWP-W is equipped with the latest HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 ports, while the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG is limited to DisplayPort 1.4. Additionally, both monitors include a couple of USB Type A ports for peripheral use. Although pricing details have yet to be shared by ASUS, prior reports suggest that the ROG Swift PG27AQWP-W is likely to retail around $1100.
