ASUS has officially unveiled the ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM, a high-end gaming monitor featuring Samsung Display's Gen 4 QD-OLED technology. This monitor not only delivers native 4K resolution at a 240 Hz refresh rate but also boasts cutting-edge connectivity with DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20 supporting 80 Gbps bandwidth.
Key Features
The ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM shares its panel with the MSI MPG 272URX QD-OLED and Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G81SF, offering a smaller alternative to last year's ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM. Notable features include:
- Gen 4 QD-OLED Panel: Improved text clarity with a 166 PPI.
- Reduced Flicker: 20% less flicker than Gen 3 QD-OLED panels.
- Fast Response Time: 0.03 ms GtG response time.
- Adaptive Sync: AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-SYNC for tear-free gaming.
- High Bandwidth: DisplayPort 2.1a with 80 Gbps (UHBR20)
- Multiple Ports: HDMI 2.1, USB Type-A, and USB Type-C (90W charging)
4K 240Hz without DSC
The DisplayPort 2.1a port with its 80 Gbps peak bandwidth allows the monitor to output at 4K and 240Hz without the need for Display Stream Compression (DSC), provided it's paired with a compatible graphics card. However, it is worth noting that currently, neither AMD nor Nvidia offers consumer graphics cards that support DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20.
Pricing and Availability
ASUS has not yet released pricing or availability information. It's likely that this information won't be shared during the upcoming CES 2025.
