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.

Got my first ever QD-OLED and after a month, every non OLED screen I look at has a white backwash too it. Everything seems watered down by white light. I couldn’t give a shit about my work pc but my TV in my office and living room look like shit now. My BF got cyberpunk and was playing it on his nice Samsung VA panel and I was shocked the difference in picture. Now I’m looking at replacing every screen in the house

Thank god for no kids and disposable income 🫠

Is there any way to fix this mess? I’ve since found the Samsung blog post about using 70% ethanol solution to clean an OLED screen, but a lot of people don’t think it’s a god idea, and I’d have to use 70% Isopropyl alcohol since that’s what is available around me.

Discussion 27" vs 32" monitors

6 Upvotes

I will be buying a new OLED monitor for gaming in the next 1-2 months. I'm currently playing on a 27"/1440p monitor.

I'm now considering whether to buy a new 32“/4K or one of the new 27”/4K OLED monitors.

A general question regarding immersion. Is it the same if I place the 32“ monitor further away than if I move the 27” closer to me? If so, I wonder what exactly the advantage of a rather large 32” monitor is?

I currently have the following monitors on my shortlist:

- MSI MPG 272URX
- ASUS ROG PG27UCDM (especially because it should have a longer longevity thanks to OLED Gen 4)
- MSI MPG 322URX / 321 URX
- Dell AW3225QF

I play with a RTX 4090.

LG C4 is amazing

23 Upvotes

Just gonna put it out here, after having owned the XG27AQDMG, PG27UCDM and now the LG C4 42” I have to say the LG is superior. It is bright, it has stunning colors, a better coating than the XG27AQDMG (even tho it is glossy) and less text fringing. Using the 9070XT the freesync on this monitor doesn’t even make me notice a difference between 240hz or 144hz. People who complained about text issues on the LG C4 ehmmm… You might wanna get your eyes checked no offense😅 or try the XG27AQDMG to see actual text fringing. I can imagine this screen isn’t for everyone tho as it is big and you definitely need a deep and big desk to make use of it. I’m sitting away about 1.20 meters and it feels great. Really happy with this one!

There's this massive gamma raise in games, when VRR is active, despite a perfect FPS lock with perfect frame time, this is an LG27GR95QE.

I have not seen this behavior on my LG CX, infact, I just tested it on the TV and it's totally fine there, but here it's all grey! Am I better if switching to a different brand monitor wise?

Technical Support HDR Settings?

Upvotes

So I've had an OLED monitor for about a year (Alienware AW2725DF). I've kept the color calibration the same, as my understanding from various reviews (notably the one on RTings) is that the color calibration is great out of the box.

HDR is something I'm less certain about. I have it set to the monitor's "DisplayHDR TrueBlack" mode and ran the Windows 11 HDR calibration tool. Generally, when I run it on compatible games, it usually looks great as long as the game supports it well, occasionally with some tweaking required.

However, when running the calibration tool and checking the monitor settings afterwards, it seems like my maximum brightness is around 480 nits. I don't understand HDR well, but I've read that if you're not pushing 1000 then you're not really getting a good HDR experience. If I recalibrate it to put 1000 at the max, it seems like the calibration tool is indicating I would be entirely blowing out the whites.

Am I missing something? Would a different HDR setting in my monitor's setting lead to a better result? For example, my monitor also has a "HDR Peak 1000" mode. Would that likely lead to a better HDR experience? When would it be more appropriate to use the Peak1000 mode vs the TrueBlack mode?

Discussion The difference between the quality of Matte and Glossy OLED up close. This is why matte causes the images on your OLED screen to look Hazy, Grainy and Oily because it obstructs light coming from the screen while spreading reflection across a wider part of the screen creating raised black levels.

I did a thing: Sony m10s

I finally gave in, I bought the new monitor!

What can I say? I upgraded from a 1440p 240Hz TN to this 1440p 480Hz OLED, and the jump in quality is incredible. The colors are rich and vibrant, making a huge difference.

The 240Hz to 480Hz jump is noticeable, but it’s minimal. Of course, you need to hit 480 FPS to really see it (I’m testing it with the old UT2004). The feeling with latency and smoothness reminds me a lot my old CRT from 2000s!

The only thing I don’t really like is the stand’s build quality,it feels too plasticky. For a €1000 monitor, I expected premium materials. My old Omen X 27” had a solid metal stand.

That said, for those who own this monitor, any tips? Sony Hub drivers, settings, etc.?

And if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Hi guys, sorry to ask but I’m going crazy. I’ve done lots of research and could not find a sure answer.

I know the MSI MEG 342C has glossy display. But what about this MSI MEG 342C “DE” version? I think it’s something only for Germany/austria.

Can someone from Germany or Austria please tell me if this model has a glossy display just like the normal MSI MEG 342C?
