ASUS’ ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM 27-inch 4K gaming monitor is now available to pre-order

UK gamers can now pre-order ASUS’ ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM 27-inch 4K 240Hz OLED monitor

ASUS has officially opened pre-orders for their ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM 26.5-inch 4K 240Hz OLED monitor, the US pricing starting at $1,099. In the UK, Scan has this new monitor up for pre-order, with a UK price of £1098.98.

This monitor is the first 27-inch 4K 240Hz OLED monitor to come to market, offering users a compact 4K experience with OLED quality and superb motion clarity. We saw this screen in action at CES 2025, and it looked great.

Scan claims that this monitor is due to become available in the UK on March 12th. This means that pre-orderers will need to wait a while before their orders are shipped.

With OLED anti-flicker 2.0 technology, ASUS claims their 4th generation QD-OLED panels exhibit 20% less flicker than before. A Luminance Compensation Algorithm can dynamically boost pixel brightness during refresh rate fluctuations to ensure more consistent visuals without increased input lag.

Unlike some other DisplayPort 2.1 monitors, ASUS’ new ROG OLED supports the full UHBR20 specification. This gives it support for the full 80 Gbps bandwidth potential of DisplayPort 2.1. Additionally, this screen has two HDMI 2.1 ports. No, this screen does not support HDMI 2.2.

ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM Specifications

As an OLED screen with 0.03ms response times, this new ROG Swift screen delivers deep blacks, bright highlights, and high levels of image clarity. These fast response times deliver increased clarity in motion, which combines with this screen’s high resolution to deliver ultra-sharp visuals. Add on this screen’s strong VRR support and high refresh rate support, and you have an excellent gaming experience.

With its 26.5-inch screen size and 166 PPI pixel density, this screen gives users a 53% increase in PPI over similarly sized 1440p monitors. This new screen uses a 4th generation OLED panel and supports Dolby Vision and HDR10, making this screen ideal for content that is mastered for either standard.

While some gamers prefer larger 32-inch 4K screens, it is worth remembering that some people prefer 27-inch screens. Maybe your available space is limited, and maybe you just like the look of a smaller panel. Either way, there are merits to having 4K screens of this size. As for the viability of 4K gaming at 240Hz, Nvidia has revealed their answer to that question: the RTX 50 series and DLSS 4.

With Nvidia’s RTX 50 series and its support for DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation, the viability of ultra-high refresh rate 4K gaming has never been better. Yes, some may argue that AI frames aren’t real frames, but I’ll just say this. If “fake” AI frames can look good and games continue to play smoothly, what’s the problem? Would I prefer “real” frames? Yes. Does that matter? Not really.

Screen technology has advanced a lot over the past few years, and while OLED screens remain expensive, they do deliver exceptional visuals.
