ROG also announced a firmware update for the Swift OLED PG27AQDM introducing our new OLED Anti-flicker feature. These latest additions to the ROG STRIX XG series of monitors lineup further solidify the current lineup. They also maintain the high value position of ROG STRIX XG series monitors; offering outstanding value by incorporating an impressive array of features, functions and speciation’s alongside the quality, and performance ASUS ROG gaming monitors are known for all at lower price points. ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG  The ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG is the world’s first gaming monitor to feature a glossy WOLED display. ASUS ROG are known for their design thinking and incorporating features, functions and designs often requested by the community. The glossy panel, combined with the latest OLED technologies, allows the XG27AQDMG to further enhance the already impressive visuals of ROG OLED displays and showcases vibrant colors, sharper images, and the darkest black hues under varied lighting conditions. It also provides up to 20% brighter visuals compared to previous generation ROG monitors[i]. While OLED displays offer incredible colors and lightning-fast response, some users may experience flicker when Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) is activated due to the way OLED pixels are electrically controlled. This is further amplified by significant refresh-rate fluctuations and the human eye’s sensitivity to changes in relative brightness, especially in darker scenes. To address this, new ROG Anti-Flicker technology offers three anti-flicker levels (Strong / Middle / Off) that stabilize the refresh rate within a carefully optimized range. This minimizes flicker perception to ensure smoother, more enjoyable viewing experiences. This 27-inch (26.5-inch viewable) QHD (2560 x 1440) OLED gaming monitor boasts an impressive 240 Hz refresh rate, 0.03 ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time, and NVIDIA® G-SYNC® compatibility to deliver fast, fluid, smooth and ultra clear gaming visuals. The XG27AQDMG will also notably introduce ELMB functionality as well offering gamers more motion clarity tuning options and flexibility depending on their systems sustained FPS performance. Unlike monitors that integrate the power adapter in the monitor, the latest ROG monitors feature a separate adapter to reduce overall temperature and reduce the risk of burn-in to extend the lifespan of the OLED panel. In addition, the XG27AQDMG features ASUS ROG cooling design which includes a custom passive heatsink alongside ASUS OLED Care features to further reduce the risk of burn-in. Users can easily access these features via Display Widget Center and the OSD.For convenience, the XG27AQDMG features a smaller footprint that takes up minimal desktop space and has a built-in phone holder so mobile devices are within easy reach. It also maintains the threaded mount design allowing for easy mounting of a camera, light or microphone as well. Display Widget Support is also present for easy OSD control within Windows.
