The ROG Swift Pro PG248QP is the world's first 540 Hz gaming monitor. We reached this performance milestone thanks to the new esports TN (E-TN) technology, which offers 60% faster response times than standard TN panels, enabling superfast refresh rates and astounding clarity. It features a new stand design with retractable and locked claws to create a much smaller base footprint to free up more desktop space for pro gamers.

The 24.1-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) monitor with ultrafast 540 Hz (OC) refresh rate is designed for professional gamers and immersive gameplay. The G-SYNC processor includes a built-in NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer that captures end-to-end system latency to deliver the very best gaming experience. Additionally, the built-in ESS DAC provides surround sound, as well as gunshot and footstep enhancements that provide near-zero audio latency.




The ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM is the first ROG 1440p OLED gaming monitor with a superfast 240 Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms response time. It comes with an anti-glare micro-texture coating to reduce reflections for a better viewing experience in all lighting conditions, and it offers 1,000 nits peak brightness.

The thermal design of the cooling system has been greatly improved to help reduce burn-in. It has a custom heatsink and a new internal layout to improve cooling. Internal airflow has been optimized and the top air vents are larger for improved heat dissipation. Heat is dissipated more evenly across the rear of the monitor. The average temperature is 5% lower compared to other 27-inch OLED gaming monitors. Intelligent voltage optimization ensures consistent luminance for each pixel by controlling the amount of voltage applied to it. ROG worked closely with the panel maker to determine the correlation between OLED brightness, voltage level, and operational temperature. A smart algorithm coded for the panel optimizes voltage based on temperature changes to ensure consistent brightness across the panel.

The ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM also comes with Uniform Brightness, which keeps the illuminance level even when white windows change dramatically. Plus, new DisplayWidget Center software makes it easy to use a mouse to change system functions and OLED settings via an intuitive interface.

E-TN? Is that TN with a fancy name or is it actually something new? If only TN could have good contrast/viewing angles...

curious about that "anti-glare micro coating", did they finally improve matte surfaces ?
Probably going to see some demo soon I hope. Quite interested in OLED monitors, probably picking one in Q1 2023

To be fair Asus does a better job than most with TN based panels my PG278QR had decent Contrast and Color. When I replaced it with an LG GN850 I was initially underwhelmed even though objectively it was a better monitor.

NGL, I like the PG27AQDM's very minimal bezels, but I refuse to go past 1080p for the next 5 years at least, partly because there isn't a capture card that supports 1440p240, and I don't want my 2080 Ti to feel obsolete. I'm happy with my VG259QM too, no need to keep upgrading all the time.

At the moment this may only be useful with CS:GO and Valorant. Apex Legends' Source engine still has a hardcap at 300 FPS and I don't think I've seen Modern Warfare 2/Warzone 2 go above 280 FPS at 1080p yet (I could be wrong on this one though).

EDIT: I forgot about Overwatch 2. I forgot it exceeds 400 FPS (on max settings too) on a RTX 4090 at 1080p.

Since RGB on rearside of monitors was pointless gimmick(at best) now Shitsus found even worse gimmick to slap ROG Tax and milk suckers.

540Hz? What games can run at 540 FPS? Its likely to hit a CPU bottleneck in most games even if you game at 1080p.

Are most sales to esports gamers? as the consumer monitor industry seems to be shaped around them currently.

Difference is that the other 480Hz (500Hz OC) monitor is using a fast IPS panel. So in my eyes extra 40Hz with a compromise of using a TN panel is not worth it. I mean if the TN panel was at least 700Hz then maybe...
Isn't OLED supposed to handle 1000+Hz with no problems? Why is it still only 240?
I've never heard of OLED easily handling 1000Hz. Can you provide a source for this statement?

That is why you need a 4090 with DLSS 3! ;)
