At the highly anticipated Gamescom 2025, ASUS Republic of Gamers has revealed an impressive lineup of three new OLED gaming monitors, showcasing the company's commitment to delivering superior gaming experiences. The new models include the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W, ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG, and the updated Strix OLED XG27AQDMG Gen 2. Each monitor is equipped with the latest tandem OLED technology, which significantly enhances performance with up to 15% higher peak brightness, 25% wider color volume, and an impressive 60% longer lifespan compared to traditional WOLED panels.
The ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W is a standout among the new releases, boasting a 26.5-inch display that is touted as the world’s fastest OLED gaming monitor. With a native refresh rate of 540 Hz at QHD resolution, this monitor is designed for competitive gamers seeking the ultimate edge. An exciting feature of this model is its Dual Mode, which allows users to switch to 720p for an astounding 720 Hz refresh rate.
This monitor is certified with DisplayHDR 500 True Black, ensuring stunning visual quality with a color gamut covering 99.5% of the DCI-P3 spectrum and true 10-bit color depth. In terms of connectivity, it includes DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 with full 80 Gbps bandwidth, HDMI 2.1, and a USB hub. ASUS has also integrated its innovative OLED Care Pro system, which features a Neo Proximity Sensor that minimizes the risk of burn-in by automatically dimming the panel when the user steps away.
The ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG also features a 26.5-inch QHD tandem OLED panel, operating at 280 Hz. This model excels with a rapid response time of just 0.03 ms, ensuring smooth gameplay. Like the Swift model, it holds a HDR 500 True Black certification, covers 99.5% of the DCI-P3 color range, and supports true 10-bit color.
One of the highlights of the XG27AQWMG is its compact stand, which is 30% smaller than previous designs, making it an excellent choice for gamers with limited desk space. Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, HDMI 2.1, a USB hub, and a tripod mount. It also features the same OLED Care Pro and Neo Proximity Sensor for enhanced durability.
The updated ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG Gen 2 maintains the 26.5-inch QHD size but utilizes a standard WOLED panel with a refresh rate of 240 Hz. This model introduces the new TrueBlack glossy coating and is rated with HDR 400 True Black certification, covering 99% of the DCI-P3 spectrum.
Similar to its counterparts, the XG27AQDMG Gen 2 is equipped with the Neo Proximity Sensor for burn-in protection and features a redesigned stand that is 30% smaller than the previous generation. Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC), HDMI 2.1, a USB hub, and a tripod mount, ensuring versatility for various setups.
