ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has officially revealed two new 27-inch OLED gaming monitors, the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W and the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG, both poised to redefine visual performance with cutting-edge Tandem OLED technology.
Both 26.5-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) monitors feature new TrueBlack Glossy™ Tandem OLED panels. According to ASUS, this new technology delivers 15% higher peak brightness, a 25% larger color volume, and a 60% longer panel lifespan compared to previous-generation WOLED panels.
The two displays also share VESA DisplayHDR™ 500 True Black compliance, a 99.5% DCI-P3 color gamut, and a color accuracy of Delta E<2, ensuring incredibly deep blacks and vibrant, true-to-life colors. To combat burn-in, both models are equipped with ASUS OLED Care Pro, which includes a new Neo Proximity Sensor that detects when a user is away and automatically switches the screen to black.
