ASUS debuts ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W at 540Hz 1440p and Strix XG27AQWMG at 280Hz, using LG RGB Tandem OLED for brighter HDR, glossy finish and wide-gamut color
ASUS has officially launched the first gaming monitors built on LG’s RGB Tandem OLED technology, pairing record-breaking refresh rates with higher brightness. The new panel employs a four-layer emissive stack — red, green, and blue — delivering sharper images and richer color in both SDR and HDR modes.
The flagship, called ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W, lays claim to being the world’s fastest OLED monitor. It supports two operating modes: 540 Hz at 1440p and 720 Hz at 720p. The former already sets a record for QHD displays, while the 720 Hz option pushes responsiveness to an extreme, though it does so at a lower resolution.
The monitor first appeared in China as the ROG Super Kill 27 Pro, and ASUS has now posted full specifications on its official website. Alongside it, the company introduced the more accessible ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG. This model uses the same Tandem OLED panel but tops out at 280 Hz at 1440p. It targets a wider audience and can suit professional esports players as well. Unlike the flagship, the Strix omits certain premium touches, including a DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 port, opting for DP 1.4 instead.
Both displays feature a glossy finish, cover 99.5% of DCI-P3 and 135% of sRGB, and claim color accuracy of Delta E < 2. Peak brightness reaches 1,500 nits in HDR, while preliminary SDR figures land around 300–350 nits.
The ROG Swift PG27AQWP-W also includes modern connectivity such as HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, and USB Type-A for peripherals. Pricing has not been officially announced, but early indications suggest about $1,100.
With these releases, ASUS strengthens its stance in the OLED display segment, delivering gear that raises the bar for speed and image fidelity for gamers and professionals. The mix of ultra-high refresh rates and glossy, wide-gamut panels signals a clear bid to set the pace in competitive play, even if the most extreme mode feels more like a showcase of what’s possible than an everyday setting.
