Aside from a splendidly curvaceous thirtieth anniversary RTX 5090, the product that I noticed get most likely probably the most consideration at Asus ROG’s occasion earlier was the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W. Asus is asking this the “quickest OLED monitor out there”, and for good motive.
We have seen loads of quick displays over the previous few months, however I’ve not seen something come near this for OLED. It is 540 Hz at 1440p QHD, but when that is not fairly sufficient to your lightning-quick eyes, you’ll be able to drop it all the way down to 720p to crank out 720 Hz. That is one Hz per vertical pixel, so long as you do not thoughts dropping all the way down to sub-1080p.

Even contemplating ‘simply’ the 540 Hz, what strikes me is that we’re getting an ultra-fast refresh fee with little or no compromise. Often these refresh charges require a TFT panel with little vibrancy.
Right here, although, not solely do we have now an OLED monitor, however one which comes with the brand new fandangled-sounding tandem OLED tech that the corporate’s additionally simply introduced for an additional, presumably cheaper, monitor. At the least on paper, this guarantees 15% larger peak brightness, 25% wider color quantity, and 60% longer lifespan. In different phrases, if the claims bear out, wave goodbye to dim and burnt-in OLEDs.
It additionally has Asus’ new, and once more fairly fandangled (I am not stopping) Neo Proximity Sensor, which turns the monitor off while you step away and on once more while you step again. That is to assist with the entire lifespan factor.
Along with the tandem tech, proximity sensor, and extra refresh cycles than you’ll be able to depend, it additionally showcases Asus’ new Shiny TrueBlack floor. The picture above (which is a comparability utilizing a distinct monitor) reveals the distinction, with a TrueBlack Shiny coating on the left.
The concept is supposed to be that you’ve got glare suppression much like a matte coating, however with deep blacks. From what I’ve seen in individual, it is not excellent at this, however each little helps.
The icing on the cake is that clear bottom styling. There’s simply nothing fairly like seeing the heart of your {hardware}, is there? Nicely, possibly a blistering quick refresh fee.
