ASUS officially launches its RGB Tandem ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W and ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG

ASUS has released its first RGB Tandem OLED gaming monitors

ASUS has officially launched its first two RGB tandem OLED gaming monitors, the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W and ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG. Both of these monitors deliver QHD (1440p) resolution support at ultra-high refresh rates.

These new monitors utilise LG’s RGB Tandem OLED tech. This gives ASUS’ new OLED screens increased peak brightness levels and wide colour volumes. Furthermore, this tech enables a 60% longer expected lifespan over last-gen W-OLED screens. Additionally, ASUS’ TrueBlack Glossy coating reduces glare while tetaining deep black levels.

ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W

On the high-end, ASUS has its new ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W, a crazy-fast 1440p (QHD) monitor with a 540Hz native refresh rate. For those who want an even faster gaming experience, this screen can operate at 720Hz in HD mode.

Connectivity options for this screen include HDMI 2.1 (with full 80 Gbps support) and DisplayPort 2.1a (with UHBR20). This screen is DisplayHDR 500 True Black certified, supports 99.5% of the DCI-P3 colour space, true 10-bit colour, and has a Delta E<2 colour rating.

Strong OLED performance in all lighting environments with TrueBlack Glossy WOLED

Thanks to ASUS’ TrueBlack Glossy film, these screens feature a “zero-haze” optical layer that reduces reflections by 38% compared to prior-generation WOLED glossy monitors. This enables deeper looking blacks and reduces the impact of reflections. Additionally, the ASUS Clear Pixel Edge algorithm eliminates red-green fringing on text and fine lines, ensuring that spreadsheets, lines of code, and creative timelines appear pin-sharp.

ASUS ROG Strix (Tandem) OLED XG27AQWMG

The ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG is a Tandem OLED screen that supports refresh rates up to 280Hz at 1440p. This screen is a lot like its higher-end counterpart, with the only significant differences being its enclosure, stand, and maximum refresh rate. Both are VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black screens with true 10-bit colour support. With its lowered maximum refresh rate, this OLED monitor should feature lower pricing. Given its lower refresh rate, this screen only uses DisplayPort 1.4, rather than DisplayPort 2.1.

Pricing and availability

In the US, ASUS’ ROG Tandem ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W is available now with an MSRP of $1099. The ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG has an MSRP of $599. At Scan Computers UK, these new RGB Tandem displays are now available for pre-order for £948.98 and £519.98 respectively.
