ROG Strix 27” 1440P OLED Gaming Monitor (XG27AQDMG) - QHD, Glossy OLED, 240Hz, 0.03ms, Custom Heatsink, Anti-flicker,Uniform Brightness, G-SYNC Compatible, 99% DCI-P3, DisplayWidget, 3yr warranty

the sweet spot for gaming really is 1440p and 120hz++. This monitor is amazing. I cant really see the differrence in 4K vs 1440 but I can absolutly see just how amazing the image looks on this glossy OLED. I watched Tron - Ares on this monitor and all I can say is wow. The onscreen menu is simple and easy to use. The G-Sync with VRR worked out the box with my 5090. I had two minor problems with the monitor so far. I didnt use the included stand, I have my own vesa mount. And the included vesa mount attachment for the monitor was VERY difficult to get attached. I was hesitant to really press down hard to get this thing to click in becuase I didnt want to damage the monitor. I did get it in but it took way more force than I was comfortable giving. The second is that you will want to do a pixel cleaning out the box. It takes about 6 mins, but my monitor had a weird line accross the middle of the display. It was very noticable. I was worried my display was damaged in shipping but did the pixel cleaning and it went right away. Happy as I can be. The monitor is very bright in SDR. If you flip it to HDR the brightness falls a little bit but not bad. I have opeted to leave mine in SDR for the moment. My final thoughts are that this is a great monitor. With OLED finally coming down to the range of "normal" monitors its a real no brainer. If youre a gamer 4K makes little sense. Youre pushing your GPU so hard to fill those pixels and that costs you FPS. Just get the 1440p OLED and push have as many pixels to have those FPS soar and look at those games through a world class display. You wont be disappointed. In my picture you can see the OLED vs my old LCD. Both of those monitors are on and showing a black screen. \ 0.o /

The hardest part about my computer set-up has been deciding on a monitor... I checked, reviewed, researched, went to stores to look, and took an awful amount of time to find a decent monitor. Finally, I decided to purchase this monitor for the 144Hz speed, dedication to gamers, and the 3 years warranty. Before I go further, I made the right choice! Once you open up the box you immediately see that you have purchased a MONITOR that will do your bidding for serious PC folk or gamers. This is not some cheap junk. It looks great! If looks could kill, they nailed it with the sleek, slim, and modern look. You can tell this is not a bargain store monitor purchase. The stand: awesome. Better than any other junk stands I have had the patience to work with. It adjusts to your liking, firm, simple, ergo, fantastic. Why don't they build all monitors stands like this? Forsake wall mounts. The monitor: FANTASTIC. Once you turn her on (the power button ROCKS) the bright blaze of sunlight will hit your eyes and enter your brain like a slap. Brightness at 100 will let you know that this monitor is capable of burning retinas at a billion candles per inch as well as massages your eyes depending on your mood or quite possibly the fact that you could use this monitor outside (not recommended) and the sun will not dare to outshine it. After the first brightness adjustment, the color on this monitor seemed fine to me, in fact, better than the POS it replaced by light years. Looked around at color recommendations and the simple ones you will find online are fine for any start-up fine tuning. Trust me, color is not an issue. I do not understand why anyone is having problems with color on this monitor... it quite simply ROCKS. 144Hz speed: At startup I went straight to adjusting the refresh frequency from the starting 60Hz to 144Hz. Why? Because this is the highlight feature of this monitor! FAST refresh is better for everything. Why hobble along a 60 mph on the freeway when you know your sports car can get 144 mph without sweating? You simply must max out the frequency for games to enable better goodness on the battlefield, not to mention anything else you do on your PC. Once you put it on 144Hz, you are now a professional PC POWER-user and dare I say it: GAMER. Yes, there is an advantage, YES!! Incredible performance. Price: Got this for the ridiculous price of $209 on a black Friday weekend sale...and then it went up to like $300 after the sale. I would still pay for the $300 on this but keep an eye out for sales that come frequently enough... so worth it. Size: 24 inches is better than 22, and someday the standard will be 27 or 28.. can't wait for the larger variants to become affordable. 24 is great however, very NICE. This monitor was thinking of you, the PC user, with muscle and power under the hood of your build. Regarding HDMI or Display Port users: Why bother? The DVI dual link cable it comes with is the baby you need to plug into your video card for 144Hz goodness. If you add another monitor, fine, deal with it. Regarding speakers: HAHAHAHAHHA, whatever. One wonders why they bothered. Monitors should not come with internal speakers because they always blow due to size constraints and placement. Ever notice how large screen TV's all have sound bars? It's because internal speakers are lame. 3 year warranty: Worth it! Nice!! Ever have a monitor die after a year or so for no reason other than "it was its time"? I have. Hold on to your original box, register with ASUS, and know that you can get some satisfaction when your monitor goes kaput in the next 3 years. Shipping is paid by ASUS. NICE. UPDATE 2.5 years later: Still rocking it, gaming it, videos galore. No issues or problems. Still have my original box if it twitches before 3 year warranty expires. It's my precious. Considering buying another one just like this for my work desk, so worth it! Great performance, ergo as heck, and value with this monitor!! Boom!!!!

Been using this for two days now and everything is great. I have a dual Xeon workstation and gaming PC connected via KVM. After I got everything hooked up I maxed out the refresh rate at 240 Hz. Right off the bat I got really bad flickering, like multiple flickers per second and only happened at 240Hz. Fortunately, the problem was with my DP cable. Even though it was a Dp 1.4 it just couldn't support that high of a signal. Bought a new one. switched it out, and everything is great. Now, if you were like me I hesitated because my monitor is shared for work and play. I didn't know how bad the text would be considering how that is not a strong suit. The text isn't as sharp as my previous monitor but not a big deal at all. As a matter of fact, I am already used to it and don't think about it anymore. The blacks on this thing is absolutely amazing. The colors are so vibrant and rich and gaming looks so much better, even compared to a non OLED 4k monitor. The one thing that I was not too thrilled about is the auto dimming feature. If I switched from my desktop to MS word, you would see some minor dimming. I found out this is part of the built-in screen saving options. Not sure which ones so I turned them all off. I am not overly worried about burn-in. If it happens then I will use my 3-year warranty. By the way, make sure you register the monitor on Asus's site. Now, add this to your cart and check out. UPDATE: I just upgraded to the PG27UCDM (review above was for the XG27AQDMG). For some reason Amazon won't let me write an independent review, even though it is a different model so I am including it in this review. Without exaggeration, this may be the best monitor ever. It just took a few minutes to change the settings based on what I like. The colors are so vibrant and blacks are so deep. I seriously cannot think of anything on which to improve the quality on this monitor, except for one. There is noticeable flicking if I have VRR enabled. Certainly not a deal breaker but you can see it flicker if you pay close enough attention. Other than that, it's perfect and worth the $$$$.

[Reviewing ASUS PG27UCDM QD-OLED 4K UHD Gaming Monitor purchased in late October, 2025.] When I first set this up, I had some configuration issues that I knew I needed to find solutions for, but I was impressed that it was bright, well-saturated colors, very clear from UHD, and I loved it. The next day, the screen started going totally black, sometimes as soon as I activated it (it is connected to a new laptop with a RTX 5090), sometimes after 1- 5 minutes. When it goes black, I have to powering it off and reboot the computer, after which it does it again, other times works for a while. I did restore it once by unplugging and replugging the USB-C. One time it started repeatedly switching between my laptop screen and the external monitor. If I have only full UHD active on the Windows display control panel; the control for changing resolution is greyed out. I can change resolution on my laptop, for example to 1920x1080 for playing games, but when this monitor is the active monitor, I have only 3940x2160 (the resolution control on the control panel is greyed out), which makes frame rates unusable. If I set the laptop to 1920x1080 and then activate the second screen duplicating the first, it shows up for a short time in that lower resolution but then goes black. DisplayPort connections do not work. I have a CalDigit hub with DP1.4 output, and when plugged into the monitor, it is not recognized in the automatic detection, nor if I tell it to use DP1.4. USB-C has worked. USB-C generally runs DisplayPort inside. But USB-C is where I have problems with the screen going black or constantly switching between laptop and external monitors. I have been using the high-speed USB-C cable they provided, and another that came with my CalDigit TB4 hub, and I see the same problems, so I don’t think the problem is the cable. I have also tried both USB-C jacks on my laptop with the same results. I have not tried HDMI. It might work, but having only HDMI, and not USB-C and DP2.1, means that significant functions I paid for are not working. At this price point, not good enough. I tried installing a driver from ASUS which made no difference. I noticed after buying it that Amazon has added a banner for this product that says it is a frequently returned item. That was not true before, and previous reviews have been mostly very positive, so perhaps some software or hardware issue has arisen in recently produced models. I spent over an hour on the phone with Asus tech support who in the end suggested I return it. This is disappointing, because on the first day it was really a beautiful upgrade from my previous 27” ASUS IPS monitor, which is about six years old. Still, I’m lucky that the problems happened on day 2, because it is well within the return period. The question is whether to get a refund or replacement.

I’ve had this for a few months now and I can say without a doubt the it is best choice for a 4k OLED monitor. 4k 27 inch is the sweet spot for a gaming monitor. The ppi are perfect and everything is sharp. Text, video and games look outstanding. The oled care to turn off monitor when you get up works flawlessly if you set it up correctly. I don’t notice any vrr flicker issues. The only downside side is I have trouble updating firmware via a usb cable so I just use a usb and get the files from ASUS support. The build quality is top notch and the brightness is great for my computer room. As of now firmware updates have fixed any flaws it might have had at release.

This is easily the best monitor I have ever owned. The ASUS ROG Swift 27” 4K QD OLED is perfect for gaming in every way. I was genuinely shocked by the colors, especially the black levels. The contrast and clarity make games look incredible and feel far more immersive than anything I have used before. After gaming on this monitor, it would be very hard to go back to anything else. I will be using this for all of my gaming moving forward. It has completely changed how games look and feel and has even made me want to replay certain games just to experience them again on this display. I highly recommend this monitor to anyone serious about gaming. It truly elevates the entire gaming experience.

First I should say I’m happy to own this monitor. Endgame? Yes, It’s literally one of the best monitors you can get off the market. I love glossy, this is semi glossy. For you people that are unsure if you want to do matte or glossy, this is a great middle ground. I’d actually prefer this to be more glossy like the other one but this gives people options. That screen glare reflection crap doesn’t bother me one bit. My window isn’t near my monitor, my lighting is on point, also even if it wasn’t this being semi gloss would help that out a lot. Now I was in a cross battle between getting the best Samsung monitor that competes with this or this and ended up getting this. DP 2.1 was needed and I wanted that glossy. Glossy is a must for your boy. One thing I don’t like about this monitor in my opinion is that it’s not bright enough for me. You pay over a band for this thing and the brightness could be better, a least give the option. I think most wouldn’t complain about the brightness. Just me nitpicking but it’s a worthy nitpick. The control knob thing works easy, it definitely does what it says it does. I’m going to desk mount it. Remember to use distilled water to clean this. Don’t jack up your monitor! Not that I did, I just watch a lot of YouTube videos lol.

Really Great monitor, vibrant colors, and great refresh rate. One of the best monitors hands down. Works like intended. Easy to setup but if you want HDR you have to go through your windows settings and enable it. Base takes up a bit of space but not too bad.
