Asus has officially released the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W in Canada. You can buy it now at Best Buy for CA$1,399.99. In the US, it is available to pre-order via Newegg for for $1,099.99 with a January 30 availability date. The monitor got attention at CES 2026 for its insanely high refresh rates, and dual mode capability.
This is a 27-inch gaming monitor with a QHD resolution of 2560×1440. At native resolution, it runs at 540Hz, making it one of the fastest 1440p monitors you can get right now. If you care more about refresh rate than resolution, there’s also a 720Hz mode that drops down to 1280×720.
The panel uses LG’s latest Primary RGB Tandem OLED technology. This is better than older WOLED panels because it gets brighter, shows more colors, and lasts longer. Asus put a glossy TrueBlack finish on it to boost contrast and sharpness. There’s also a Neo Proximity Sensor that detects when you walk away and dims the screen automatically to help prevent burn-in and save power.
The response time is 0.02ms gray-to-gray. It covers 99.5 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut and has VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black certification. The contrast ratio is 1,500,000:1, and peak brightness hits 1,500 nits. That’s higher than the 1,300 nits you usually see on older WOLED gaming monitors.
For connections, it has DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20, which lets the monitor run at full resolution and refresh rate without needing Display Stream Compression. You also get two HDMI 2.1 inputs, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The monitor works with both Nvidia G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. It includes Asus OLED Care Pro features to reduce burn-in during long gaming sessions.
