The ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP is one of ASUS's first OLED gaming monitors to reach 480 Hz at 1440p: a 26.5-inch WOLED panel, 0.03 ms GtG, DisplayHDR 400 True Black and a fanless heatsink. It has two HDMI 2.1 ports and DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC; the warranty is 3 years including burn-in. Reviews rate the motion clarity and response very highly; desktop brightness and VRR behaviour in HDR are points to watch.

ASUS presents the PG27AQDP as a monitor for competitive gamers, with a 480 Hz refresh rate, heatsink OLED cooling and OLED Care features against burn-in. ASUS ROG
According to Display Ninja, brightness is about 275 nits on a full white screen, 750 nits on a 10% window and 1,300 nits below 3%; Uniform Brightness holds the desktop at about 275 nits and avoids automatic brightness limiting, while ELMB drops it to about 200 nits. The RGWB subpixel layout reduces colour fringing compared with older RWBG panels but it can still show on small text. Slight VRR flicker can appear in games with fluctuating frame rates; OLED Anti-Flicker reduces it by narrowing the VRR range. Thanks to the heatsink there is no fan noise; the matte coating looks slightly grainy on solid colours.
Display Ninja: ASUS PG27AQDP reviewIgor'sLAB found the monitor vivid with good factory calibration and colour accuracy sufficient for photo and video editing; it noted it as the coolest-running monitor they had tested and found no glaring weakness.
Igor'sLAB: ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQDP in testOn the ROG Forum, Nick91 (March 2025) reports a clear, steady brightness drop at every rate from 60 to 480 Hz when VRR is enabled with HDR on, on MCM103 firmware; it does not happen in SDR. They use an RX 7900 XTX and a 48 Gbps HDMI 2.1 cable, and resets and driver updates did not help. An ASUS support agent asked for details and photos; no resolution is recorded.
ROG Forum: PG27AQDP significantly reduced brightness when VRR is enabled in HDRAlso on the ROG Forum, dcao (January 2025) writes that after the PC restarts the monitor occasionally will not turn on, the power button does nothing and it has to be unplugged and plugged back in. An ASUS support agent suggested steps such as a firmware update, a cable swap and a factory reset; no outcome is recorded.
