Well , I did n’t see that one coming .
Asus may have brought the firsttrue480Hz OLED gaming monitor toCES 2024 . The ROG Swift PG27AQDP is a 1440p settlement OLED monitor that come with a staggering 480Hz refresh pace — that alone tell you what you require to have a go at it about this beast .

LG did announce its own 480Hz gaming monitor last hebdomad , but it use a duple refresh rate mode to get 480Hz at 1080p ( which Asus also has in a unlike reminder that I mention down below ) . But 480Hz at 1440p is something we ’ve never find out before — until now .
The monitor lizard uses an OLED panel — in special , an MLA OLED panel from LG . It ’s unlike from the QD - OLED monitor we ’ve seen like theOdyssey OLED G8orAlienware 32 , with MLA OLED usually taking a back behind in brightness level . Asus is making some bold claims about that smartness , though . The company says it can hit 1,300 nits of peak brightness , which is the highest specification we ’ve seen yet . Samsung ’s QD - OLED monitor are rated for 1,000 nits , for exercise . That gamy brightness mean good HDR carrying into action to match the infinite contrast of OLED .
It ’s not clear if other brands will have a monitor packing this same panel , but at least right now , Asus is the only one we ’ve envision so far . Not even LG Electronics itself seems to currently have something quite like this .
The ROG Swift PG27AQDP is in spades the star of the show here , but Asus also announced two other impressive - looking OLED monitor to go alongside it . The first , the Swift OLED PG32UCDP , is a 32 - inch three-fold - refresh rate monitor that can switch between 4 K 240Hz and 1080p 480Hz at the public press of a button . In condition of spec , it ’s the same panel as the LG UltraGear 34GS95QE .
likewise , Asus also hasits bigger sibling : the Swift PG39WCDM , a 39 - column inch monitor with that same title of a peak smartness of 1,3000 nits . This one matches what LG announce with its UltraGear 39GS95QE , which boast an aggressive 800R curvature , a 21:9 aspect ratio , a 3440 x 1440 resolution , and a 240Hz refresh rate . The fleet PG39WCDM comes with a build - in Smart KVM switch that lets you see two equipment seamlessly .
Asus claim that same 1,300 nits of peak brightness on these two proctor as well , along with a 0.03 millisecond response sentence and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro .
There ’s some important info we do n’t currently know about these three ROG monitors . Most significantly , the pricing is unknown . How precisely the the PG27AQDP in particular will heap up against the competition reckon a lot on that cost , as will the release date . QD - OLED panels have a leg up over these Monitor with the secondly - gen Alienware monitors right on our doorstep .
Still , there ’s no question the ROG PG27AQDP is one of the most exciting mathematical product we ’ve seen at CES so far .
