SpecificationASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDPLG UltraGear 27GR93U-B
Release year20242023
Panel26.5-inch WOLED; anti-glare surface

WOLED uses a white OLED layer with colour filters; each pixel makes its own light, so blacks switch fully off.

ASUS		27-inch (68.5 cm) IPS, 3840 × 2160, 16:9; anti-glare surface

At 27 inches, 4K means high pixel density; text and detail look very sharp, though Windows usually needs scaling. IPS panels offer wide viewing angles and good colour, but blacks are not as deep as OLED.

LG
Resolution2560 × 1440, 16:9 ASUS—
Refresh rateUp to 480 Hz

480 Hz improves motion clarity in fast games; reaching it also needs the graphics card to render close to 480 frames.

ASUS		—
Response time0.03 ms (GtG)

GtG is the grey-to-grey pixel transition time, not total input lag.

ASUS		—
Brightness and contrastHDR peak 1,300 cd/m²; contrast 1,500,000:1 (typical)

The peak figure applies to a small part of the screen; ASUS notes that peak brightness may vary with colour pre-calibration.

ASUS		—
Colour99% DCI-P3, 135% sRGB; 10-bit; ΔE < 2

A colour pre-calibration report is included in the box.

ASUS		DCI-P3 95% typical (90% minimum, CIE1976); 10-bit (8-bit + FRC), 1.07 billion colours; hardware calibration ready

8-bit + FRC imitates 10-bit gradations with rapid dithering; usually invisible to the eye. Hardware calibration writes settings to the monitor’s own memory.

LG
HDR and certificationsHDR10; VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black ASUS—
Variable refreshVESA AdaptiveSync Display 480Hz; AMD FreeSync Premium; G-SYNC Compatible

Variable refresh matches the monitor’s rate to the graphics card’s frame rate to prevent tearing.

ASUS		—
Video inputs1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC), 2 × HDMI 2.1 (FRL)

DSC compresses the signal in a way considered visually lossless so that 1440p 480 Hz fits within DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidth.

Size and weightWith stand 60.5 × 54.8 × 27.4 cm, 6.2 kg; without stand 60.5 × 35.1 × 5.0 cm, 3.5 kg

ASUS states the dimensions are estimates and may vary by region.

ASUS		With stand 613.5 × 467.7–577.7 × 253.7 mm, 6.4 kg; without stand 613.5 × 371.6 × 51.3 mm, 4.5 kg LG
Warranty3 years, including OLED burn-in

Burn-in is when long-static images leave a mark on an OLED panel; the OLED Care features aim to reduce it.

In the boxDisplayPort cable, Ultra High Speed HDMI cable, USB 3.2 cable, power adapter, VESA mount kit, calibration report, ROG pouch ASUS—
Refresh rate and response time—144 Hz; 1 ms (GtG, Faster mode)

LG notes that 1 ms is only achieved with Game Adjust → Response Time → Faster. 144 Hz requires a graphics card with DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC) or HDMI 2.1.

LG
Contrast and viewing angle—1000:1 typical (700:1 minimum); 178° / 178°

1000:1 is ordinary for IPS: blacks can look grey in a dark room. No local dimming is listed.

LG
HDR—HDR10; VESA DisplayHDR 400; HDR Effect

DisplayHDR 400 is the entry tier of HDR certification; without local dimming, the bright-to-dark range of HDR content stays limited. HDR Effect is a picture mode that makes SDR content look more HDR-like.

LG
Adaptive sync—NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible; AMD FreeSync Premium; VRR up to 144 Hz

Matches the monitor’s refresh to the game’s frame rate, reducing tearing and stutter. According to LG, VRR needs a graphics card with DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC) or HDMI 2.1.

LG
Connections—2 × HDMI (2.1), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC); USB 3.0 upstream 1, downstream 2; 4-pole headphone out (audio + mic), DTS Headphone:X

DSC (Display Stream Compression) compresses the 4K 144 Hz signal, which exceeds DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidth, with no visible loss. There is no USB-C input and no built-in speakers are listed.

LG
Gaming features—Black Stabilizer, Dynamic Action Sync, Crosshair, FPS Counter, User Defined Key; Hexagon RGB LED lighting

Black Stabilizer brightens dark areas so opponents in shadow are visible; Crosshair places a fixed aiming point at screen centre. Crosshair is unavailable while FPS Counter is on.

LG
Stand and mounting—Height, tilt, pivot; detachable base; cable holder and mouse cable holder

Per LG Canada dimensions, height with stand ranges from 467.7 to 577.7 mm, so about 110 mm of height adjustment. Pivot turns the screen to portrait; swivel is not listed.

LG
Power—External adapter, 19 V / 3.42 A (65 W); 50 W typical, 55 W max; under 0.5 W in sleep LG
