ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQN NVIDIA® esports monitor
The ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQN NVIDIA® G-SYNC® esports monitor with NVIDIA Reflex technology features the world's first 1440p 360 Hz display for no‑compromise, crystal-clear, ultra-responsive competitive gaming experiences. It features ultrafast IPS technology, giving it an extremely rapid response time for an LCD monitor. This technology leverages a new kind of liquid crystal that offers higher birefringence and lower viscosity, enabling the shutter to switch faster and reflect light from the backlight.
Conventional displays have a single-layer voltage driver to twist the liquid crystals from the upper-left to the bottom-right corner of the display. The PG27AQN uses a dual-layer voltage driver, enabling the liquid crystals to switch from the upper-left and bottom-right corners simultaneously for a smoother, more consistent image.
The PG27AQN is a NVIDIA G-SYNC display that offers supersmooth visuals and faster response with variable overdrive — so it's perfect for competitive play. It also includes the NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer to measure end-to-end system latency when paired with an NVIDIA Reflex mouse.
The PG27AQN includes high-dynamic-range (HDR) technology and is factory pre-calibrated to Delta E 2 color accuracy for exceptional lifelike visuals. Lastly, it offers users rich connectivity options including three HDMI® 2.0 ports, a DisplayPort™ 1.4 and USB hub.
ROG Swift OLED PG42UQ and PG48UQ
The ROG Swift OLED display range includes the 42-inch Swift OLED PG42UQ and the immersive 48-inch Swift OLED PG48UQ, the world's first OLED gaming monitors to feature an anti-glare Micro-texture coating. Both displays are able to showcase 4K visuals at 120 Hz, and make full use of OLED technology features such as 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 0.1 ms response time, plus true 10-bit color and 98% DCI-P3 color coverage. These displays are also factory pre-calibrated to Delta E 2 color accuracy.
Unlike other OLED displays, ROG Swift OLED-series monitors feature the new anti-glare Micro-texture coating on the panel surface to reduce glare, allowing viewers to see more precise onscreen colors. These displays also boast a unique thermal solution with a custom heatsink and internal airflow layout designed to optimize heat exchange, keeping operating temperatures below 50˚C (up to 16% lower than competitor models) while reaching a peak brightness of 900 nits [1] .
The Swift OLED displays include HDMI® 2.1 FRL to offer gamers full 48 Gbps bandwidth to support native 4K 120 Hz visuals without chroma subsampling. Console gamers can also take advantage of variable-refresh-rate technology and auto-low-latency mode for super-smooth, lag-free gaming visuals. In addition, these displays have an array of connectivity features including two HDMI 2.1 and two HDMI 2.0 ports, DisplayPort™ 1.4 and a USB hub.
ROG Swift PG32UQXE

Mini LED technology enables Full Array Local Dimming (FALD) across 576 zones to deliver brilliant images with detailed shadows and highlights for greater immersion in HDR games or multimedia. The PG32UQXE offers users an array of connectivity options, including DisplayPort 1.4, an HDMI 2.1 and two HDMI 2.0 ports, plus five USB ports that enable it to function as a USB hub. It also includes the NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer to measure end-to-end system latency when paired with an NVIDIA Reflex mouse.
The PG32UQXE utilizes AUO AmLED technology to take mini LED displays to a new level. Powered by exclusive Adaptive Control Technology, AmLED enables precise adjustment of brightness, contrast ratio, colors, refresh rate and power consumption in real time based on the images, achieving revolutionary performance in gaming and creator displays. AmLED HDR 1000 creates a high 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and delivers vivid and clear images under bright ambient lighting. The panel is compatible with NVIDIA G-SYNC to ensure smoother gameplay without screen tearing.
