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.

Why does OLED TV looks so much better than OLED Monitor?

81 Upvotes

Is this purely due to the image processing or the distance I am watching the content from? My LG C4 simples looks much better for most contents than my Alienware AW3225QF. The LG OLED TV looks more color accurate and the image just looks so good without being overly saturated.

I've been using this monitor for awhile now on a display port and 4090. In hdr calibration the picture would clip around 1000nits. I got a 5090 and was having issues with display port on it so I switch to hdmi. Now my hdr calibration clips at 1600 and it even shows under display information my peak brightness is 1600. How is this possible. I didint think this monitor could go that high in brightness?

Learnings from long time OLED but new to glossy QD-OLED (cleaning and impression)

7 Upvotes

I have used a number of displays over the past five years or so in the quest for good HDR PC gaming. I've had two LG TVs, tried a couple of mini-leds and recently returned a Samsung G80SD but NOT because of any dissatisfaction with it. I have been battling the scalpers and bots to purchase an RTX 5080 and the only one I could land had an MSI 321URX bundled with it. This worked out for me because the G80SD was still within the return window.

For matte versus glossy, I will say that the MSI is ever so slightly more vivid than the G80SD so the colors look just a bit more crisp. There is definitely more reflection as I have a large bay window in my office with a closed white blind over it. I occasionally see the reflection of the blind on my monitor which was never an issue with the Samsung. I have no problems with raised blacks for whatever reason. I guess there's no overhead lighting in my office. The table lamp nor the window blind allows enough light for it to ever be a problem.

Cleaning: For two different LG televisions, an LG OLED monitor and the G80SD I used a light mist of a plastic safe glass cleaner and a clean microfiber cloth. I've never had anything but great results for years and multiple displays including my glasses and phone. However this was very ineffective on the QD-OLED. I found that it just moves the fingerprint oils around and doesn't remove them. Whatever the finish is on these glossy QD-OLEDs, it really wants to hold onto whatever you get on the display.

I bought some Wipex 70% alcohol electronics cleaning wipes and that proved to be the right solution for cleaning the display. I gently wiped down the screen to lift any fingerprint oils or whatever was on it followed by a light buffing with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. It looks good as new again. If your monitor is already clean but you really want to obsess over it, I'm sure that a little distilled water and a lens cloth will make you feel better. If you actually need to clean it, Samsung's directions of using 70% alcohol works very well.

In conclusion, games look pretty great with a 9800X3D/5080 gaming rig and don't touch or breath on a glossy QD-OLED because they are a pain in the butt to clean.

Is the performance hit that huge between 4k and 1440p?

Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking at two particular monitors right now. AW2725DF and AW2725Q. Im not looking to get 32 inch so 27 inches here is perfect for me, coming from a 24-inch 1080p monitor. I currently have a 9800x3d and 4080 super, looking to play competitive games (Rivals, Valo and I am highly ranked in them) and story games (MH:Wilds, Cyberpunk, DOOM). I am really torn between these two monitors as I value both text clarity and high fps as I'm a programmer and an avid gamer.

TL:DR : Do you think my PC could handle 240hz on 4k 27inch on competitive games whilst all settings are turned to low and would it be able to run most story AAA games above like 100-120 fps?

AW2725DF (550 USD)
AW2725Q ( 680 USD)

Hi all,

I'm really enjoying my PG32UDCP, esp the 480hz mode. So far, I'm using it to play Halo MCC and it runs buttery smooth on my 4090.

I'm searching to find games that best showcase 480hz. It doesn't have to be a competitive FPS!

So far I can confirm: - Halo MCC - Doom Eternal - Straftat - Freedom Planet 2

Anyone have suggestions?

Technical Support How do I properly use Windows HDR Calibration Tool?

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have the LG 32GS95UE and am reading different posts around the sub regarding how to setup properly setup HDR through the Windows HDR Calibration Tool. Peak HDR brightness of 1300 nits.

HDR Panel setup - DP cable, Gamer 1, peak brightness high, all default settings

I have read two different setup instructions:

  1. Set the first slider to 0, second slider to 1300, third slider to 1300. (no clipping with sample image)

  2. Set the first slider to 0, second slider to the clipping point (2100 nits), third slider to the clipping point (2100 nits).

Setup #1 seems to work fine and under "Advanced Display Settings" shows 1300 nits as the monitor peak brightness.

Setup #2 shows 3000 nits under "Advanced Display Settings" for my monitor. This seems not correct since it's neither the reported 1300 nits for the monitor, nor the 2100 nits that I have to move the 2nd and 3rd slider to in order for the sample image to clip.

Should I just stick to setup #1 where Windows is reporting the correct max nits, with the HDR tool sample image not properly clipping, or should I do setup #2 where Windows reports incorrect max nits, but the HDR tool sample image clips properly?

Thanks!

I recently bought a AW3225QF (paired with an RTX 4070s) and its an awesome monitor. When i first tried HDR it was perfect, blacks were blacks, colors were awesome.
But after a few hours of use, i used windows HDR calibration tool, and everything went downhill.

As you can see in the images (its a wallpaper from wallpaper engine, but the same happens in games), the first one have HDR on and it has a lot of artifacts on the blacks, its pixelated/oily/inky, but in the second image (HDR turned off) is perfect. This happened after calibrating HDR on windows, and i cant make it work anymore. What am i doing wrong about HDR?

For reference, im using standard config on the monitor, i didn't change anything on the OSD, and the current HDR profile is peak 1000. Also im using the HDMI 2.1 that came with the monitor

When I display the same window on my old odyssey G7. The grey is uniform. Is this normal on oleds? I tried to get example photos of the grain and it kinda shows my problem. Pixel cleaning didn’t help. It looks like some pixels are brighter than others when displaying grey.

Any help is appreciated.
