The short version

The ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP is a 26.5-inch 2560x1440 WOLED rated for 480 Hz, with 0.03 ms rated response, DisplayHDR True Black 400 and a 1,300-nit HDR peak rating. TFTCentral and Tom's Hardware both rank it at the top of OLED gaming monitors for motion clarity and low lag. It targets competitive PC gamers with GPUs that can reach very high frame rates, though it won't suit everyone at its list price. It has no USB-C and no speakers.

  • Three-year warranty that ASUS says includes burn-in

Cons

  • 480 Hz needs a very capable GPU to deliver that frame rate
  • No USB-C video and no built-in speakers

Best for

  • Competitive PC gamers chasing the lowest possible motion blur

Common questions

What do I need to use the PG27AQDP's 480 Hz?

Reaching 480 frames per second takes a very fast GPU, but the monitor also runs smoothly at lower frame rates through its G-SYNC Compatible and FreeSync Premium variable refresh.

Does the PG27AQDP work with consoles?

Yes. ASUS lists two HDMI 2.1 FRL ports, and TFTCentral describes console support as very good.
