Save $250 on the 27” ASUS ROG Swift OLED Gaming Monitor
The 27” ASUS ROG Swift OLED (PG27AQDP) is one of our top gaming monitors for a reason. It’s just a great all-around option, even for those who don’t necessarily need a ridiculously high refresh rate for esports. The 1440p picture is stunning, with near-infinite contrast and high peak brightness, which allows HDR to shine on this WOLED panel.
IGN expert Chris Coke had the opportunity to review the ASUS ROG Swift OLED (PG27AQDP), and he was particularly impressed with the out-of-the-box color accuracy and the built-in cooling system to prevent burn-in. Even going so far as to claim, “It’s one of the very best OLED gaming monitors you can buy,” and giving it a review score of 9/10.
Of course, the ASUS ROG Swift OLED (PG27AQDP) has gaming chops that are hard to compete with. With an almost instantaneous response time of 0.03ms, motion blur will be a thing of the past. However, the most notable feature is its 480Hz refresh rate, which is up there with some of the fastest gaming monitors. It's a responsiveness you can feel, especially when jumping from a 240Hz monitor. Those speeds are challenging to achieve in anything other than lighter esports games, but this monitor is still exceptional, even when playing at half that refresh rate or lower.
