ASUS ROG Announces Swift OLED PG27UCDM and Strix OLED XG27AQDPG Gaming Monitors
ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced a pair of 27-inch OLED gaming monitors—the Swift OLED PG27UCDM and Strix OLED XG27AQDPG. Both monitors feature the latest fourth-generation ROG QD-OLED technology for exceptional visuals and infinite contrast, as well as the latest ROG OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0 technology to further minimize onscreen flicker during intense gaming.
The PG27UCDM is the world's first 27-inch 4K OLED gaming monitor with a superfast 240 Hz refresh rate and a pixel density of 160ppi for sharper images and clearer text compared to previous generation panels. It supports Dolby Vision and HDR10 formats, all selectable via the OSD menu. The monitor offers extensive connectivity options including DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20, HDMI 2.1, USB-C with 90-watt Power Delivery, and a USB hub. For user convenience, the ROG DisplayWidget Center offers quick access to monitor settings as well as OLED Care Pro features.
The ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDPG is the world's fastest OLED monitor. This stunning display features a 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED panel that delivers an astounding 500 Hz refresh rate, 0.03 ms response time, 10-bit color, and 99% DCI-P3 gamut for supersmooth and amazingly-lifelike gaming visuals.
Both monitors feature the new ROG OLED Care Pro technology that includes the Neo Proximity Sensor that uses wavelength detection to accurately measure a user's distance to the monitor. If no user is detected, the monitor automatically switches to a black screen to reduce the risk of burn-in. Lastly, the PG27UCDM and XG27AQDPG include 3-year warranties.
ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM: The world's first 27-inch 240 Hz 4K OLED gaming monitor
The ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM is the world's first 27-inch 4K OLED gaming monitor to feature a 240 Hz refresh rate for super smooth visuals, and boasts a 0.03 ms response time. Prior to launch, gamers in the market for a 240 Hz gaming monitor were limited to 27-inch 1440p or 32-inch 4K OLED options. The fourth-generation QD-OLED panel has a pixel density of 160ppi to deliver sharper images and clearer text.
Extensive connectivity
The ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM offers extensive connectivity options including four-lane DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20 with up to 80 Gbps bandwidth (uncompressed image quality), HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 90-watt Power Delivery. The monitor supports VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black, Dolby Vision, and HDR10, and these modes can be selected via the OSD menu. Additionally, the PG27UCDM offers true 10-bit color and 99% DCI-P3 gamut. Users can intuitively easily adjust monitor settings, OLED Care features, keyboard shortcuts, and more via DisplayWidget Center.

The XG27AQDPG features the latest OLED Care Pro technology to protect the panel from burn-in, as well as Dynamic Brightness Boost that increases brightness levels in HDR mode to deliver high-level-luminance visuals. Additionally, the monitor boasts extensive connectivity options including DisplayPort 1.4 with Display Stream Compression (DSC), and HDMI 2.1. The inclusion of DisplayWidget Center software allows users to intuitively adjust monitor settings and OLED Care Pro functions via a mouse.
ROG OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0 technology
Both PG27UCDM and XG27AQDPG include ROG OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0 technology that minimizes onscreen flicker for comfortable gaming and viewing experiences. It leverages an advanced luminance compensation algorithm to dynamically boost pixel brightness during refresh rate fluctuations, resulting in 20% less flicker compared to previous generation panels for more uniform visuals without sacrificing input lag and refresh rates. The Refresh Rate Cap feature caps the monitor refresh rate to reduce onscreen flicker. It has three preset ranges (High / Mid / Off) to suit individual preferences.
ROG OLED Care Pro
Additionally, these monitors feature the new ROG OLED Care Pro suite that now includes a Neo Proximity Sensor that's able to precisely detect the user's distance from the monitor. When the user is not within the detection area, the monitor will switch to a black image to protect the screen from burn-in, instantly restoring onscreen content when the user returns. The detection range can be set to user preferences to ensure an ergonomic viewing position. ROG OLED Care Pro also has several other OLED protection features including pixel cleaning, screen saver, taskbar detection, and more.
Availability
The Swift OLED PG27UCDM will be available for preorder from January 21st.

Acer's Monitor model numbers are even worse and are even case sensitive I believe....
Fixed now
What I find most fascinating is the world first claim. As MSI got it yesterday
Still i argue that considering the price these will likely be sold at UHBR20 should be included.
These are not budget monitors where every penny counts.
That makes 1.4a inclusion in the 500Hz 1440p all the more baffling. Almost like the 500Hz ended development sooner, before UHBR20 scalers were a thing. Makes me wonder how long ago Samsung had this panel in development then.
Also kinda looks bad announcing two high end monitors at the same time, but one of them not using the newest standard the other one is using.
Also i'll post this here for reference: tftcentral.co.uk/articles/when-is-displayport-2-1-going-to-be-used-on-monitors
Both 4K 240Hz and 1440p 500Hz have very similar bandwidth requirements. 500Hz a bit more actually...
www.rockpapershotgun.com/should-you-bother-with-dual-mode-monitors
At least in the case of the new LG 45" monitors, it seems like the "dual-mode" can do more than just two modes, with various cropping making it possible to do a wide range of different resolutions and aspect ratios, a feature most monitors definitely doesn't offer.
www.techpowerup.com/330321/lg-unveils-worlds-first-bendable-5k2k-gaming-monitor-with-dual-mode-support-and-dp-2-1
So how does this differ from the Custom resolutions available in GPU software?
So having dual mode baked into firmware does have it's advantages. Perhaps in the future they'll add more resolution/refreshrate combos there that could be cycled with a push of a button.
wait........i thought oled didn't have flicker or pwm lighting issues?
