Asus Has The New World’s Fastest Oled Monitor At 720hz, And It’s Dripping With Style

We mightiness person a caller king of esports gaming monitors — 1 pinch less compromises than usual. Asus has conscionable announced the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W astatine Gamescom 2025. Not only does it connection a 26.5-inch 2560 x 1440 QHD OLED surface astatine a blazing-fast 540Hz, it’s besides a dual-mode sheet that tin move to a practically unheard-of 720Hz refresh complaint erstwhile you footwear nan graphics down to 1080p* resolution.

Asus whitethorn not technically person nan fastest show ever made, arsenic both Koorui and HKC person announced 750Hz 1080p monitors, but some of those person TN panels that won’t moreover statesman to compete connected color, brightness, and viewing angles. They’re from brands we don’t typically spot successful occidental countries, and neither lets you move to higher solution erstwhile you don’t request all nan speed.

Meanwhile, nan Asus isn’t conscionable OLED — it’s a tandem OLED sheet that should dramatically boost HDR brightness and allegedly amended lifespan. It’s besides sewage a glossy coating that could make its colors moreover much vibrant and its blacks moreover blacker than OLED tech tin already afford, assuming you’re not playing successful a room pinch glare (though Asus claims nan coating minimizes glare “even successful agleam rooms.”)

Here’s nan portion wherever I’d usually opportunity “who needs 540Hz fto unsocial 720Hz? Have you done nan mathematics and seen nan diminishing returns?” Instead, I’m excessively engaged gaping astatine Asus’ stunning caller metallic and translucent integrative design. Clear gadgets are near and beloved to my heart, aft all, and nan skeletal metallic really makes it guidelines retired successful a oversea of black-framed panels.

Unfortunately, we don’t person pricing aliases a merchandise day yet, and I fishy it’ll costs a beautiful penny because Asus chose that groundbreaking sheet and did each that activity to group it apart. Seeing much OLED show prices travel down to earth would excite maine moreover much than a caller flagship for illustration this.

Also, I would for illustration a smaller guidelines to nan immense three-blade propeller, but unfortunately, Asus does make you discuss to get that. The company’s besides introducing a caller ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG coming pinch nan aforesaid tandem OLED tech, but arsenic you tin spot successful nan one-pager below, it’s a 280Hz sheet that still relies connected either HDMI 2.1 aliases DisplayPort 1.4’s DSC compression, alternatively than nan flagship’s caller DisplayPort 2.1a which boasts 80Gbps of bandwidth.

Both person Asus’ “Neo Proximity Sensor,” a comparatively caller characteristic it’s been adding to OLED panels, “to accurately measurement nan user’s region to nan monitor and automatically move to a achromatic surface erstwhile nan personification is away,” arsenic an other protection against burn-in. Asus besides tends to connection a three-year warranty against OLED burn-in these days, and some LG Display and Samsung Display’s newer panels person galore protections against it; arsenic agelong arsenic those protections aren’t over-aggressive, burn-in is nary longer a logic I’d personally steer away.

Just cognize that different show makers will astir apt usage nan aforesaid 4th-gen WOLED tandem sheet from LG Display, too. SDC has already announced one, and different brands mightiness travel suit.

*If you’ve heard of 720Hz before, it’s astir apt because LG Display already announced nan dual-mode 720Hz panel that appears successful this monitor. And if you’re wondering why we opportunity 1080p alternatively than 720p as others are reporting, it’s because we fact-checked pinch some Asus and LG Display that nan sheet is 1080p astatine 720Hz. We’ll fto you cognize if we perceive different.
