ASUS & MSI Release High-End 4K QHD OLED/QD-OLED Gaming Monitors, High Refresh Rates & Cutting-Edge Tech

ASUS releases the world’s first 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor, while MSI also debuts the first QD-OLED 4K and QD-OLED 500 Hz gaming monitors.

ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM and MSI MPG 272URX are the World’s First QD-OLED 4K Displays, Bringing the Latest DP 2.1 UHBR 20 Interface, MPG 272QR is also the First QD-OLED 500Hz Gaming Monitor

ASUS has announced its flagship 4K gaming monitor, “ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM”, claiming it to be the first 4K display with QD-OLED technology. Similarly, we have two high-end gaming monitors from MSI, both featuring 27-inch screen sizes with QD-OLED panels for vivid picture quality.

Since OLED panels suffer from low brightness, an additional layer of Quantum Dot helps enhance the brightness of OLED panels. With such technology, high-end displays no longer have to lag behind regular LED displays in brightness while offering unmatched visual quality through excellent color reproduction, color accuracy, and extremely high contrast of 1.5M:1.

The ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM boasts a 27-inch screen size with a 3840 x 2160p resolution. It can run at up to 240 Hz and brings just 0.03ms of response time. With such specifications, it’s not only ready for immersive gameplay but also for competitive titles. Equipped with OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0, OLED Care Pro, and various cutting-edge technologies, the monitor brings several upgrades over regular OLED panels.

On the other hand, MSI has delivered a powerful competitor to the PG27UCDM by releasing its MPG 272URX QD-OLED gaming monitor, featuring similar specs and features. It also has a 4K 240Hz display with 0.03ms response time. Both monitors feature the latest DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 interface for transferring up to 80 Gbps of data for uncompressed high-quality visuals at higher resolutions while maintaining high refresh rates.

It’s equipped with OLED Care 2.0 to protect the OLED panel from image burn-in and features cutting-edge technologies to compete with the ASUS PG27UCDM, such as HDR support, FreeSync Premium support, and modern connectivity. The third one is the first 500 Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor, boasting a 1440p resolution. It’s the MPG 272QR QD-OLED that brings the best of both worlds.

With a 0.03ms GtG response time and a 500 Hz refresh rate, it delivers ultra-smooth gameplay without compromising on display quality. It, too, brings HDR support, a wide color gamut (98% Adobe RGB, 99% DCI-P3, 138% sRGB), a 1.5M:1 contrast ratio, FreeSync Premium, and true 10-bit color reproduction.

The pricing and availabilities of these gaming monitors aren’t disclosed yet, but they will be quite expensive since OLED gaming monitors with 27-inch screen size and 1440p resolution usually cost over $500. Hence, high-refresh-rate 4K QD-OLED displays coupled with modern features will be much more expensive.
