Asus has unveiled its latest flagship gaming monitor at Gamescom 2025, the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W. The new model aims to set a new standard in competitive displays with a dual-mode system that supports 540Hz at QHD resolution and up to 720Hz at 720p. No OLED gaming monitor has reached this level before, placing Asus ahead of competitors that rely on TN panels for similar refresh rates.
The PG27AQWP-W features a 26.5-inch 2560 x 1440 OLED panel enhanced with tandem OLED technology. Asus states that the new panel design delivers 15 percent higher peak brightness, 25 percent wider color volume, and 60 percent longer lifespan compared to previous WOLED monitors. It comes with a TrueBlack Glossy coating that improves contrast and color vibrancy while cutting glare in bright environments. The monitor also offers a 0.03ms response time, VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black certification, and 99.5 percent DCI-P3 coverage, making it suitable for esports and creative workloads.
Design sets the PG27AQWP-W apart from typical black-framed monitors. Asus uses a silver stand and a semi-transparent back panel to give the display a distinctive look. Connectivity options include DisplayPort 2.1a with full 80Gbps bandwidth, HDMI 2.1, and a tripod socket. Asus adds its OLED Care Pro suite with a Neo Proximity Sensor that dims the screen when the user steps away, a safeguard against burn-in. The company continues to provide a three-year burn-in warranty on its OLED monitors.
Alongside the flagship, Asus introduced the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG. This 26.5-inch QHD model runs at 280Hz and carries the same tandem OLED panel, glossy coating, and burn-in protection. It also includes DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC compression and a smaller stand design.
Asus rounded out the lineup with the XG27AQDMG Gen 2, an upgraded take on last year’s XG27AQDMG. The 240Hz WOLED monitor keeps the same core specs but now adds Asus’s TrueBlack Glossy coating, a proximity sensor, and a more compact stand.
Asus positions the PG27AQWP-W as the fastest OLED gaming monitor in the world. The company has not confirmed pricing or release dates, but the specifications indicate a premium placement.
In related news, AOC has recently launched a 420Hz gaming monitor priced under $230, while Xiaomi has introduced the Redmi A27U Type-C 2026 monitor featuring 4K HDR and 90W USB-C charging.
