Asus has introduced two new OLED gaming monitors in the US: the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W and the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG. Both models use LG’s latest Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel, which delivers higher brightness, a wider color range, and a longer lifespan compared to previous WOLED panels.
The monitors feature a glossy TrueBlack finish and include a Neo Proximity Sensor that automatically dims the display when the user steps away. Among the two, the Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W stands out with its impressive 720Hz refresh rate. It has also recently become available for purchase in China.
ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W: 720Hz OLED Gaming
The ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W is a 27-inch QHD (2560×1440) gaming monitor with a native 540Hz refresh rate and an optional 720Hz mode at 720p resolution. It delivers a 0.02ms gray-to-gray response time and supports DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20, enabling full performance without relying on DSC compression. The panel covers 99.5 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut and is VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black certified. It offers a 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio and a peak brightness of 1,500 nits, which is higher than the 1,300 nits achieved by previous WOLED panels. Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 2.1, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and an earphone jack. The monitor also supports G-SYNC and FreeSync Premium Pro and comes with Asus OLED Care Pro to reduce burn-in risk.
ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG: 280Hz Performance
The ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG also features a 27-inch QHD (2560×1440) OLED panel with a 280Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time. Like the Swift model, it uses a TrueBlack Glossy coating for deeper contrast and more accurate color reproduction. The monitor supports G-SYNC and FreeSync Premium Pro, covers 99.5 percent of the DCI-P3 color space, and is certified under VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black. It reaches 1,500 nits of peak brightness and offers a 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio. Ports include two HDMI 2.1 connections, one DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and an earphone jack. It also features Asus OLED Care Pro and a Neo Proximity Sensor for automatic dimming.

The ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W is priced at $1,099 in the US. The ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG costs $599.99. Asus says both models are now available, though major retailer listings have not yet appeared.
