Overview

  • At Gamescom 2025, Asus unveiled the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP‑W, rated for 540Hz at 2560×1440 and a dual‑mode 720Hz at a lower resolution using a tandem WOLED panel and a glossy TrueBlack coating.
  • Gigabyte said its 27‑inch AORUS FO27Q5P QD‑OLED is now available, delivering 500Hz at QHD with DP 2.1 UHBR20, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, ClearMR 21000, 0.03ms GtG, AI OLED Care, and a 3‑year burn‑in warranty.
  • MSI launched the MPG 271QR QD‑OLED X50 at roughly 6,999 yuan (about $974), a 27‑inch QHD model that reaches 500Hz and includes DP 2.1 UHBR20 plus AI Care 3.0 presence sensing for burn‑in mitigation.
  • Asus also announced the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG at 280Hz QHD with tandem WOLED, relying on HDMI 2.1 or DP 1.4 DSC rather than DP 2.1a, and did not disclose pricing or ship dates for its new models.
  • Coverage differs on the PG27AQWP‑W’s top‑speed mode: several reports cite 720Hz at 720p, while The Verge says Asus and LG Display confirmed 720Hz at 1080p.
