ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM Priced for Pre-order at US$999 or More
It was only Monday this week that ASUS announced the official launch of the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM, but now retailers have started to put the display up for pre-order and it looks like for once, ASUS hasn't priced its products higher than the competition. In the US, it appears that the PG27AQDM will retail for US$999, which is the same price that LG is asking for its equivalent Ultragear OLED 27GR95QE-B. ASUS does claim to have higher typical brightness at 450 cd/m² vs a mere 200 cd/m² for the LG, yet somehow also claim to have half the power consumption.
A swift jump over the pond and the PG27AQDM looks a little less exciting, with it coming in at £1,098.95 in the UK and €1,299.99 in Germany and as much as 14,990 kr in Sweden, which puts all three nations at well over US$1,100 excluding any local VAT. That makes LG's Ultragear OLED the far more attractive option in Europe, as it's cheaper in all three countries by the equivalent of around US$100. For those still interested, the bad news is that the display won't arrive in retail until sometime in mid or end of April, depending on the country you live in.

Except for anti-glare coating this looks like the perfect monitor for me. Wish I had a spare 1200€!
hmmm... I want that 3 year burn in warranty like Dell offers on my next OLED monitor purchase, if it doesn't have that warranty, no money from me
By the way I wonder are these two 27" displays from ASUS and LG - actually the same panel? Just tweaked different?
Power Consumption : < 38W
From LG's spec page:
Power Consumption (Typ.) 74WAt least in Sweden, Asus offers a three year warranty, but not sure what it covers. No other countries that lists it, shows any warranty info.As all the other specs are nigh on identical, I would assume its the same panel type they're using.
I prefer not having an overly bright monitor in front of me since I keep the ambient light low in my computer room. The darker the room, the less you need to turn up the brightness & the less harsh it will be on the eyes; especially if you're frequently switching from dark to light content on the screen.

They definitely should include a 3 year warranty on a 1000 usd product but I'd probably purchase a 5 year anyways both my C1 and G2 have 5 year replacement warrantys..
At that price we expect better innovations too and it is possible:
The newest iMac have an optional nano-texture anti-reflection coating whilst staying glossy and it works really well, surely they can make efforts to remove those big triple layers coating that are there since the 90s.
To take another more affordable example, Some steam deck options come with a laminated display that has anti-reflection treatments too and without resorting to a big matte coating
I picked up an odyssey OLED G8 for my home PC, may evolve to a flat 32" 4K OLED way later on once they innovate more and remove those absurd matte layers.
It is expensive (got it 200EUR cheaper but still) but QD-OLED is really the way to go for me given the weaknesses of WOLED on PC right now, I have 0 doubts in 1-2 years either LG or samsung with QD-OLED 2 will have far more interesting options.
In the meantime I really needed to upgrade and I'm thoroughly enjoying my display :).
Anyway, yes it is very good with a delta E >2, but that is going by the sRGB standard & not Adobe RGB, which has a much wider color coverage. If I had to guess, I would say you would be lucky to get 70% Adobe RGB coverage with it.
for some reason it added a '.' at the end. :)
It gets 94% Adobe RGB and the delta E in sRGB is less than 2 before user calibration.
What do they mean, a monitor could have incompatibilities with GPU ? 1 year i'm on a 4070ti, meh !
1.Added OLED Anti-Flicker function that can reduce the flickering phenomenon caused by significant fluctuations in the screen refresh rate.
