ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM, 26.5"

Ja, Asus-Monitore sind fast immer überdurchschnittlich teuer. Aber wer sich einen OLED-Monitor für knapp über 1.000 Euro kauft, feilscht hier nicht um das beste Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis - das gibt es nach wie vor bei LCDs mit Mini-LEDs. Wer etwa einen soliden 27er sucht und sich mit lausigen 165 Hz zufriedengibt, zahlt in etwa nur die Hälfte.

Der Asus ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM ist ein High-End-Monitor, der speziell auf die Bedürfnisse von Gamern zugeschnitten ist. Weniger gut sind die vergleichsweise geringe Vollbildhelligkeit und die dezenten Text-Farbsäume. Zudem wären HDMI 2.1 sowie USB-C zu erwarten. Trotz dieser Mankos verdient er die WQHD-Monitor-Krone.

ASUS gelingt mit dem ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM nicht nur eine lange Produktbezeichnung, sondern auch ein ziemlich überzeugender Gaming-Monitor, der dem Geschwister-Modell von LG in mancherlei Hinsicht voraus ist, sich aber auch manchen Schwachpunkt teilt.

The ASUS PG27AQDM is incredible for gaming. It has a near-instantaneous response time, resulting in smooth motion without any inverse ghosting or blur trail behind fast-moving objects. It also has VRR support to reduce screen tearing and a fast 240Hz refresh rate. It even has low input lag for a responsive feel, as long as the monitor is updated to the latest firmware. Lastly, it's great for dark room gaming as it displays perfect blacks, and there isn't any blooming around bright objects.

We review the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM; this display was designed for gaming at 240 Hz, has a 27-inch display size and a resolution of 1440p, and a high refresh rate. The monitor uses OLED technology to provide accurate and vivid color representation, and it includes adaptive sync features such as G-SYNC and freesync to ensure velvety gameplay. It offers Brightness: 450 cd/m2 (1000 cd/m2 peak). The Asus ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM is the latest premium offering from Asus, engineered for gaming enthusiasts who seek exceptional performance and colors dripping of their screen. With a 240Hz OLED panel (ideal) for HDR gaming, this monitor impressed us deeply, however it's far from perfect. The 27-inch monitor features a 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio, and utilizes OLED panel technology. It has an incredibly swift 0.03ms response time, an infinite contrast ratio. The monitor is VESA compatible (100 x 100) and offers connectivity options such as DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0, USB 3.2, and a 3.5mm jack.

The PG27AQDM was another very impressive gaming and HDR monitor, but as with other OLED screens we’ve tested, it’s not perfect for everyone or for every use. It’s clearly positioned at gaming and multimedia so let’s focus on that first. The high 240Hz refresh rate and near-instant response times delivered excellent motion clarity and super-smooth and clear movement. Combined with the OLED panel’s excellent black depth, basically infinite contrast, and wide viewing angles it produced a very pleasing gaming experience. We were pleased to see that there was no overshoot on the Asus model too, something we’d picked out in our tests of the LG equivalent at lower refresh rates and thankfully not evident here at all. There was a super-low lag too and impressive HDR gaming experience. We would have liked to have seen full HDMI 2.1 ports included here as that felt like an unnecessary cut back, and left us without support for 4K 120Hz console gaming on this screen which was a shame.
