(PR) ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the immediate pre-order availability of the ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM, the world’s first 27-inch 4K OLED gaming monitor, at an MSRP of USD$1,099.
The new display features the latest fourth-generation ROG QD-OLED technology, providing a pixel density of 166ppi to deliver sharper images and clearer text for exceptional visuals and infinite contrast, as well as the latest ROG OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0 technology to further minimize onscreen flicker during intense gaming.
For user convenience, the new monitor benefits from the ROG DisplayWidget Center, offering quick access to monitor settings and OLED Care Pro features. It also features the new ROG OLED Care Pro technology that includes the Neo Proximity Sensor to accurately measure a user’s distance to the monitor using wavelength detection.
ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM
The ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM, the world’s first 27-inch 4K OLED gaming monitor, boasts a 240Hz refresh rate for supersmooth visuals and a 0.03ms response time. It offers extensive connectivity options including a four-lane DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20 with up to 80Gbps bandwidth (uncompressed image quality), HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 90-watt power delivery. The monitor supports VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black, Dolby Vision, and HDR10 — all of these modes can be selected via the OSD menu.
ROG OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0 technology
The PG27UCDM includes ROG OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0 technology that minimizes onscreen flicker for comfortable gaming and viewing experiences. It leverages an advanced luminance-compensation algorithm to dynamically boost pixel brightness during refresh rate fluctuations, resulting in a flicker reduction of 20% compared to previous-generation panels — ensuring more uniform visuals without sacrificing input lag and refresh rates. The Refresh Rate Cap feature allows users to put a ceiling on the monitor’s refresh rate to further reduce onscreen flicker. This has three preset ranges to suit individual preferences.
ROG OLED Care Pro with Neo Proximity Sensor
Additionally, the Swift OLED PG27UCDM features the new ROG OLED Care Pro suite that now includes a Neo Proximity Sensor that’s able to precisely detect the user’s distance from the monitor. When the user is not within the detection area, the monitor will switch to a black image to protect the screen from burn-in, instantly restoring onscreen content when the user returns. The detection range can be set to user preferences to ensure an ergonomic viewing position. ROG OLED Care Pro also has several other OLED protection features including pixel cleaning, screen saver, taskbar detection, a three-year warranty, and much more.

Is it just me or are these "best new displays" getting smaller?
In 2026 we're releasing the best new gaming display 17" 8K 6969hz SuperUltraMicro BlindingTech OLED 3D hologram
No, its just you. These "best" monitors are always 27" displays for whatever reason. I bitch about it in just about every one of these threads because I'm not a fan of that size.
Well, if you are sitting at a desk, you can only go so big before it starts to get too big. I was a 24" monitor guy for a long time. Went to 27" about 3 or 4 years ago. Now at 4K I'm starting to want 32" (I'm getting old, text at 4K on a 27" is starting to get squinty for me), but 42" is just waaay to big for me to use and sit comfortably. I have a 42" TV in my den by the fireplace. I can't imagine that sitting on my desk. I'd have to move my desk out from the wall a good foot and mount that size monitor to my wall to feel comfortable.
Now, I know a lot of you guys are using 42" (and larger) single displays. To each their own. I really wanted a LG OLED for a monitor, but just couldn't get over the size, even at 42". Now some smaller sizes are finally starting to pop up.
I do miss 16:10 a lot though... 16:9 just feels too short for the width, or too skinny if you try to rotate it.
I have a 42" on a desk but I do sit back ~3 feet from it and have gotten used to it. However, I've been keeping an eye for something in the 32"-38" range and nothing really checks all the boxes for me. Otherwise, yeah 27" is just too small anymore. I did that for a number of years and I'm somewhat suprised at how many different new models there are these days in that size. I thought for sure that 30+ would be the new target.
Yet asus isn't taking preorders on video cards. Or motherboards.

I really think a 36”, possibly curved, display would be the sweet spot for 4K. My 32” 16:9 4k honestly feels smaller than my old 30” 16:10 Dell u3011.

I have the HP version of the U3011, and feel the same regarding a 32" 4k panel I have.
Personally I'm looking forward to a ~35-40" 5k2k 120Hz+ OLED. Might be a few years.
I had a 42" 4k TV to use as a monitor for a brief time while waiting on my new 32" monitor to arrive (a couple years ago). Problem I had was my desk was/is not set up for a device that large, especially one having two feet rather than a single base that come with most monitors - the desk has a raised panel for a single monitor stand in the middle and the 4k TV wasn't wide enough to straddle it without one or the other feet (or parts of both) on the uneven surface. My current 32" curved 4k monitor seems smaller than my old Dell 3007. The reality is that the display panel height is similar enough, but the 32" panel has a slightly wider width. It's an optical illusion, but perception leads to (dis)satisfaction.
I wish they would go back to 16:10

I really want a 21:10 display with all the bells and whistles of an LG OLED. It's been on my wish list for a few years now. The 16:10 1440p display on my laptop is a treat for gaming.

So isn't that 2560x1600 then?
"Riccochet, post: 93598, member: 4" wrote:I wish they would go back to 16:10
I love 16:10 sooooo much. I greatly miss it. I want a really nice gaming-grade HRR VRR monitor that is 16:10.

Yep, just seems weird to call it 1600p even though that's pretty much what it is.
2560x1600 would be the sweet spot for me. Sadly no one makes one outside of small portable monitors. Dell used to make them until last year.
Yeah, I've been looking ever since I got my laptop and haven't been able to find a new one. I saw that Dell though but unfortunately really only a work design and not for gaming. It's weird it suddenly became a thing for gaming laptops, kind of came out of nowhere.
"Riccochet, post: 93639, member: 4" wrote:2560x1600 would be the sweet spot for me.
Same. It had been a goal of mine since the late 2000s to eventually move to that resolution. But when the time finally came, 1440p was the only real option I had.
It was at my last office job in the late 2000s (software QA) where I fell in love with 16:10 monitors. We had a big-@ss range of 'em from Dell and HP and others, from 24" up through 30"+. One of our clients was nVidia and we used to do A LOT of display testing. nVidia would send us all kinds of awesome displays, including a lot of really cool 16:10 ones.

Yeah. Like I was surprised when my friend's older Surface laptop came with a 3840x2400 display. Back when I had a 1920x1200 display (Dell U2410), I use to use nVidia DSR to run games at 2400p downscaled to 1200p. I wish that on the desktop, 2560x1600 and 3840x2400 were real options.
