ASUS Republic of Gamers Announces Availability of Strix OLED XG27UCDMG Monitor

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced availability of the ROG Strix OLED XG27UCDMG gaming monitor, the second 27-inch 4K OLED gaming monitor offered by ROG. Positioned just under the flagship ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM, the XG27UCDMG caters to a wider audience looking for a monitor for gaming, content consumption, and daily use. It features 4th generation ROG QD-OLED technology with a pixel density of 166 pixels per inch to deliver supersharp imagery, incredibly clear text, and infinite contrast.

It also offers the latest ASUS OLED Care Pro features, including a Neo Proximity sensor that protects the OLED panel from burn-in. New firmware updates to optimize the Neo Proximity sensor for both the Swift OLED PG27UCDM and the Strix OLED XG27UCDMG will be available in April 2025. In addition, ROG OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0 technology minimizes onscreen flicker even during intense gaming sessions. XG27UCDMG offers a host of comprehensive features including Auto KVM, a full-function USB-C port with DP Alt mode and 90-watt Power Delivery, along with Aspect Ratio Control.
ASUS OLED Care Pro
The ASUS OLED Care Pro suite now includes the Neo Proximity Sensor that's able to detect the user's distance from the monitor. When the user leaves the detection area, the monitor switches to a black image to protect the screen from burn-in, and instantly restores onscreen content when the user returns. Users can set the detection range to suit their own preferences or viewing position. The Neo Proximity Sensor is further optimized for more precise detection capability by new firmware updates, which will be available for both ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM and Strix OLED XG27UCDMG in April.

ASUS OLED Care Pro also offers additional panel protection features including pixel cleaning, screen saver, taskbar detection, and more. For convenience, ASUS DisplayWidget Center software offers quick access to various monitor settings as well as ASUS OLED Care Pro features. Additionally, ROG Strix OLED XG27UCDMG comes with a 3-year warranty.



ROG OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0
This technology 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 causing input lag and slowing the refresh rate. Plus, a Refresh Rate Cap feature limits the monitor refresh rate to reduce onscreen flicker, offering three preset ranges (High/Mid/Off) to suit individual preferences.

Ready for gaming and entertainment
Available now for US$999 (MSRP), ROG Strix OLED XG27UCDMG offers a premium OLED experience for gaming and entertainment - thanks to its 240 Hz refresh rate and 0.03 millisecond response time ensuring smooth gameplay and rapid responsiveness. Also, a pixel density of 166ppi ensures supersharp text. The monitor also includes the latest ASUS DisplayWidget Center with additional features including auto firmware notification and the ability to import or export monitor settings.

XG27UCDMG offers rich connectivity options including DisplayPort 1.4 with Display Stream Compression (DSC), HDMI 2.1, and USB Type-C (DP Alt mode) with 90-watt Power Delivery. Featuring a gamer-centric design, XG27UCDMG has a super-slim, frameless panel as well as signature ROG Aura Sync and light projection, a standard 1/4-inch tripod socket to accommodate streaming setups, along with a monitor stand with a compact footprint and built-in phone holder for convenience.

very similar named after the older 1440p Version (a bit confusing)

So basically AQ = 1440p & UC = 4k

Not to mention the G in 1440p one indicates glossy panel to differentiate between PG27AQDM which had a matte finish.

huh didn't even notice that, I do like the indication of that in the name. But still... Monitor names are really confusing.


Also there seems to be a small spelling error here (I think):

True Black 400 + DP 1.4 (DSC) with only two video inputs (1x DP* + 1x HDMI*) = no buy.
*Assumption, since there is no text claiming otherwise.

I know it's a 27" 4K OLED monitor, but it's crazy to me that they want the same price for this monitor that's a "step down" from the Swift series that I paid for my 32" Swift PG32UCDM. Or is it just me? :wtf: o_O

I consider higher pixel density a step up. :wtf:

Just a heads up to anyone buying this, QD-OLED has a notable purple tint to it when exposed to anything above 50 lx of ambient light and reduced contrast. I was about to pull the trigger on one of these after watching a review from monitors unboxed only to find out from rtings and TFTCentral that the monitor has a contrast of below 1,000 at a mere 100 lx of ambient light and looks purple. At 500 lux (which is considered the top end of what is needed to read in a room) the contrast is a mere 146:1 and the purple shift is very noticeable. Crazy that it's not something mentioned in every review, not everyone lives in a cave!

I know, right? I don't see how anyone can game in a dark room, with only the screen/their keyboard the only sources of light. It's incredibly bad for your eyes too.
