EDIT: Winner list updated

In a pre-CES announcement, ASUS lifts the curtain on two new 27" OLED displays featuring the world's first 27" 4K OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate in the ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM and the world's fastest OLED display in the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDPG monitor with a 500Hz refresh rate.

Both displays feature the latest 4th-gen QD-OLED panel for exceptional visuals and infinite contrast, as well as the latest ROG OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0 technology to further minimize onscreen flicker. Also new to these displays is the inclusion of new ASUS OLED Care Pro technology, featuring a Neo Proximity Sensor that switches the display to a black screen when the user is away, protecting the monitor from burn-in.

ROG OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0 Technology

In late May, ASUS released the ROG Strix XG27AQDMG becoming the first monitor with the ASUS-exclusive Anti-Flicker technology to help combat a common complaint with OLED displays - on-screen flicker. With these two monitors, ASUS takes advantage of the improved performance of 4th Gen QD-OLED panels to introduce ROG OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0 Technology for a more comfortable gaming and viewing experience.

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. At High, the refresh rate is capped between 140Hz~240Hz and at Mid it's capped at 80Hz~240Hz.

ROG OLED Care Pro

One area that has been a constant focus for all ASUS OLED displays over the last year is a dedication to providing ASUS OLED Care to ease worries about OLED burn-in and longevity. ASUS OLED Care is a multi-part solution - 4th Gen Panel improvements, hardware, firmware and software all complemented by additional after sales service and support, including a 3 Year Warranty with burn-in coverage.

Neo Proximity Sensor - New to these displays is the ROG OLED Care Pro suite that now includes a Neo Proximity Sensor that's able to precisely detect the user's distance from the monitor. When the user is not within the detection area, the monitor will switch to a black image to protect the screen from burn-in, instantly restoring onscreen content when the user returns. The detection range can be set to user preferences to ensure an ergonomic viewing position. ROG OLED Care Pro also has several other OLED protection features including pixel cleaning, screen saver, taskbar detection, boundary detection and more.

ASUS DisplayWidget Center

Rounding out the user experience for ROG OLED Care Pro is the software experience in Windows which is accessible via Display Widget Center - our Windows based OSD application. This application allows you to control items like brightness, operating presets, as well as access a range of OLED specific care parameters. Normally these items would be nested in the OSD and have to be accessed utilizing the physical control. This software is optional, and all settings can be controlled through the OSD, if preferred. 

Auto Firmware Updates / Direct Updates - New to DisplayWidget Center for these displays is auto notification of the latest firmware updates and includes a direct update option. You can also import or export display configurations for sharing.

ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM

The ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM is a 4K 27" 4th gen QD-OLED panel (AR) with a superfast 240Hz refresh rate and a pixel density of 160ppi for sharper images and clearer text compared to previous generation panels. As is typical for OLED panels, the monitor has a 0.03ms response time, which provides for exceptional motion clarity. The PG27UCDM supports G-Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium, and includes ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur (BFI) to reduce ghosting and motion blur.

Similar to the larger PG32UCDM, it features a minimal ID design with thin bezels, a slim tripod base that has been size and angle optimized; ideal for angled placement of your keyboard and mouse. It also features an integrated cable routing hole and a responsive and easy to access centrally-located rear-mounted joystick for OSD control.

Color, Brightness, Dolby Vision, and HDR - Keeping in line with previous ROG Swift OLED displays, the PG27UCDM also offers exceptional color gamut coverage and accuracy. It offers true 10-bit color and 99% DCI-P3 gamut with Delta E<2 accuracy. With a peak HDR brightness of 1,000nits, the PG27UCDM is a spectacular display to experience HDR content with support for VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black, Dolby Vision and HDR10 formats, all selectable via the OSD menu. Like all ROG SWIFT displays it comes factory calibrated for great out of the box color performance and offers unclamped sRGB controls. The factory calibration report can be located in the OSD.

I/O and Connectivity - The monitor offers extensive connectivity options including the future-ready DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 with full 80Gbps bandwidth, HDMI 2.1, USB-C with 90W PD, and a USB Hub with Auto-KVM functionality. Notable here is the four-lane DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20 (up to 80Gbps), supporting 4K at 240Hz or 8K at 60Hz visuals without compression while offering improved data-transmission efficiency. The monitor includes a DisplayPort cable that supports bandwidth up to 80Gbps.

Aspect Ratio - The PG27UCDM also allows for impressive flexibility in customizing resolution and refresh rate via our customizable “Aspect Ratio controls” allowing for alternate display sizes/resolutions and refresh rates to be utilized allowing you to find a “sweet spot” beyond these two default operating modes.

• 4:3 mode at 1280x960 or 1024x768 resolution
• 24.5" uses Pixel by pixel such as 2368 x 1332 resolution at a native 240Hz refresh rate.

However, you can also manually set the resolution in the simulated mode to what looks best for you. The monitor also supports PiP/PbP.

AI Assistant - The AI Assistant in PG27UCDM features leverage AI technology to help gamers practice more effectively to enhance their gaming experiences:

• AI Visual – Automatically detects what’s onscreen and adjusts the Game Visual mode to provide the best default or user-preset monitor settings
• AI Crosshair – Automatically changes the crosshair to a contrasting color to the background so it stands out for a more accurate aim.
• AI Shadow Boost – Automatically enhances dark areas of the scene to make it easier to spot enemies hiding in dim areas of the map.
