[Nomad76]

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the groundbreaking ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP, the ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG and the ROG Swift 360 Hz PG27AQNR gaming monitors at Gamescom 2024.

The Swift OLED PG27AQDP is the world's first 1440p 480 Hz monitor, and it features an anti-glare WOLED panel. Meanwhile, the 26.5-inch Strix OLED XG27ACDNG boasts an impressive 360 Hz refresh rate and a QHD QD-OLED panel with an anti-reflection. Both monitors feature ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) and OLED Anti-Flicker technologies. ROG is the only gaming monitor brand to offer QD-OLED and WOLED offerings to cater to different needs. Each display offers unparalleled visuals and unprecedented refresh rates to redefine gaming performance for gamers worldwide. Also launched was the 360 Hz ROG Swift 360 Hz PG27AQNR, with a QHD Ultrafast IPS display and G-SYNC Pulsar that make it a superior choice for esports and competitive gaming.





In addition to the premium three-year ROG warranty, both OLED monitors feature new OLED Care+ with a suite of features designed to protect the panel. OLED Care+ settings can be easily managed through ASUS DisplayWidget Center software. In addition to all the features provided by the original OLED CARE, the new OLED Care+ enables Taskbar Detection, Outer Dimming Control, and Global Dimming Control. Lastly, adjustable HDR settings provide the flexibility to tailor onscreen visuals according to preference. These new features will soon be available in other ROG gaming monitors.

These must be the new monitors with the Mediatek chip where no seperate G-Sync module is required to get the full suite of features on Monitors with the 'G-Sync Ultimate' branding.

 

[ViperXZ]

Just buy the same monitor directly from LG (they make the displays) and avoid Asus tax. W + profit

The latter (model PG27AQNR) is one of the units with the new combination Mediatek chip. This article from PCGamer explains it better:

Nvidia's new partnership with MediaTek has just killed the module which made G-Sync monitors so damned expensive

This new all-in-one scaler removes the need for a separate G-Sync module, helping to lower costs.

www.pcgamer.com

Basically there's a slow rollout of this new Mediatek all-in-one G-Sync chip from various monitor manufacturers. Assuming it works well, it's likely that the chip will be included in other monitors in other sizes at a later date.

Just buy the same monitor directly from LG (they make the displays) and avoid Asus tax. W + profit

LG manufactures display panels as well as some monitors and television sets.

Display performance and quality is not solely determined by the panel. There are other components inside these devices that influence performance just as the display engine chip and other electronics such as the G-Sync circuitry which is separate from the display panel part.

LG does not do final assembly of all monitors and television sets based on their display panel parts. One very obvious example are LG OLED panels for Apple iPhones. LG just ships display panel parts to Apple's manufacturing partners (Foxconn, etc.). There are other components in smartphones that affect display quality as well.

Nobody here said so, and LG has more experience about that kind of stuff than Asus will have in 100 years.

You said, "just buy the same monitor at LG". LG doesn't have any competing products yet with this combo G-Sync chip. When they do, they would definitely be a consideration but right now there are only three companies who have announced upcoming models with the new Mediatek silicon.

Everyone here knows there are a lot of companies that make monitors with differing capabilities. There is no company that is the best at everything. Certainly not LG. It's worth pointing out that LG frequently features piss-poor warranty durations.

There's a lot more than just display panel specs that influence the desirability of an given monitor or television set. Maybe it's the presence of USB-C power delivery. Maybe it's the support of new HDMI and DisplayPort standards. Maybe it's the presence of built-in speakers. Maybe it's the price. Maybe it's a combination of one or more of these other features.

Just keep that in mind, thanks!

Pretty sure the guy is talking about the OLED monitors, in which case they are all the same. You think G-Sync Pulsar exists for OLED?
But I agree with you, other features can entice (I was looking for DV but alas )

480hz with ELMB sounds really nice. I really want a review of this. I may come down from my LG C1 48" 4k 120hz to this if its perfect.

 

[ViperXZ]

People who can’t wait will always be punished in life. Asus tax is as high as 300-500$, definitely not worth it. Any other brand with the same panel will be better.

And sorry I’m not reading wall of texts about simple matters as these. I skip 90% of your posts.

Well, thank you very much for reading this particular one! It's people like you who make TPU such a, er, "special" place!

Maybe don’t think the worst about your fellow members such as they don’t know basic stuff about tech, maybe people respect / care more then? Just a thought. Life is simple, be nice and be treated nice. Maybe expect others to know a lot instead of thinking the opposite - this is baseline decent human behavior btw .

Meh, wake me up when 240Hz WQHD OLEDs drop to 500 or less. So far it’s just a parade of one flagship replacing the previous one at roughly the same price point. And, as much ad I enjoy higher refreshes, I don’t see a use for 360 and especially 480Hz for myself, personally. I am too old to play at being a cyber athlete.

 

[kapone32]

27" is so 2012. Even if the refresh rate is high.

 

[Cheeseball]

PG27AQDP can do ELMB (BFI) at 240 Hz.

Might have to cop this one.

If you use ELMB it will be 240 Hz, which is expected since the 2nd frame would be the black frame.

Exactly... With OLED and 240hz strobe on a calibrated screen it should be perfect!

Assuming the brightness doesn't take a nose dive. My C1 has 120hz BFI and while it looks fantastic the brightness hit is massive.

The best part is that this is not limited to a GSync Ultimate module, so that means I should be able to use it with a 7900 XTX. 1440p 240Hz BFI is easier to run as well.

Maybe I'm confused but I thought the more recent Gsync modules already supported adaptive sync on AMD cards....

Thats for Adaptive Sync (VRR) dude, not BFI (which NVIDIA's GSync module uses it as ULMB and ULMB2, which sometimes ELMB gets tied to). It's very rare to have VRR and BFI enabled at the same time, but it has been done in IPS-land (the Gigabyte M27Q X/M32U did them) but they were not perfect, even with stable high framerate. I think only your 48" C1 (I had one but I gave it to my brother) allowed VRR and BFI can do it at the same time (I think, I'm not sure anymore) at the expense of brightness.

But yes, the newer GSync modules allow VRR to be used on Radeons, which is cool because GSync allows the full range from 1Hz to whatever the max is for the panel. But I believe ULMB/ULMB2 is still limited to NVIDIA cards.

That why i need the review first. if it can stay around 150nits in SDR ill be ok.

 

[xSneak]

Is anyone going to make a 360hz 4k panel at 27" ? I think 32" is way too big for gaming.

 

[_roman_]

Mediatek chip where no seperate G-Sync module

I do not want to buy any Mediatek based device. Based on my previous read data and information from different sources.

Both designs need extra hardware for Nvidia only G-Sync. G-Sync - I think it is not compatible to every graphic cards - so it is an useless feature to myself. I think freesync works on more different graphic cards. I think it is bad to buy a product which locks you in to one brand. E.g. Apple only / Nvidia only / Windows only.

If it is e.g. AMD compatible, the manufacturer should be smart enough to market it as "Freesync". If I do not see Freesync in the datasheet I assume the device can not function properly. I'm not willing to be a beta tester for an overpriced product.

I love this design, so thoughtful. Why don't you put your mobile in there huh. Oh, yeah, woops.

You regularly flip your monitor? Like a steering wheel or 360 like a heli?

Everything for immersion man. I also tilt my whole body to the left when I go left in a racing game!
