Built-in KVM gives you easy control over multiple devices, and its premium cooling solution makes sure that you get the most out of its otherworldly QD-OLED panel.

The best ROG OLED monitors for esports  

If your idea of a great Friday night is a marathon run in esports titles like Valorant, The Finals, League of Legends, or Apex Legends, keep an eye out for two dazzling ROG OLED monitors coming your way in the second half of 2024. We’re prepping to raise the bar for tournament-grade display performance with two OLED gaming monitors sporting next-level 480Hz refresh rates.  

The ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP gaming monitor

The first is the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP, the world’s first 26.5-inch QHD OLED gaming monitor with a native 480Hz refresh rate. Drink that in for just a moment. In a comfortably sized display, you get a crisp pixel-per-inch ratio for gaming, a stunningly fast refresh rate, and the signature ultra-low response time of OLED panels. These specs combine for unparalleled battlefield vision, and all but ensure that this display is destined for glory on the pro circuit. 

On top of all that, you get a premium set of features, including a 1300-nit peak brightness, 99% coverage of the cinema-grade DCI-P3 color gamut, and professional-grade color accuracy. This display’s extensive connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 ports with the bandwidth you need for this display’s impressive refresh rate. 

The ROG Swift PG32UCDP gaming monitor

While some gamers are all-in on esports titles, others have more varied tastes. This can create a dilemma as they pick their next gaming monitor: Should they grab a 4K model that brings their single-player games to life in glorious detail? Or should they opt for a lower-resolution model which they can achieve dazzling refresh rates? 

To make sure that gamers won’t have to make that tough choice any longer, we’re introducing the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP. As the world’s first dual-mode OLED gaming monitor, this versatile gaming monitor lets you switch between 4K 240Hz and FHD 480Hz modes on the fly. Toggling between the two modes is easy. With just a quick trip into the OSD menu, you’ll have the perfect combination of specs for the next game on your list. No matter which mode you pick, you’ll enjoy G-SYNC Compatible and FreeSync Premium tech for super-smooth, tear-free visuals, a near-instantaneous 0.03ms response time for ultra-clear motion, and a high-end 1300-nit peak brightness for excellent HDR entertainment.  

Connectivity options include DisplayPort and HDMI 2.1, making the PG32UCDP a great choice for cross-platform gamers who are as likely to game on a next-gen console as they are on their PC. You’ll find a USB Type-C port capable of 90W Power Delivery, too, and built-in KVM with hotkey control gives you convenient control over two connected devices. 

The best ultrawide ROG OLED monitors

Thus far, we’ve looked at OLED gaming monitors in the familiar 16:9 aspect ratio. But we know that many gamers out there crave the unparalleled immersion of an ultra-wide display.

We have three ROG OLED ultrawide options for your consideration, two available right now and a third coming very soon. Let’s start with the largest of the three: the ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD. This gaming behemoth offers a curved 49-inch panel with a 5120x1440 resolution – that's the same desktop real estate provided by two separate 27-inch 16:9 1440p displays.  

We outfit this display with a bright, vibrant QD-OLED panel. To help ensure a long product lifespan, to minimize the risk of burn-in, and to allow the ROG Swift PG49WCD to deliver dazzling highlights, we outfitted this monitor with a substantial cooling solution. In any OLED monitor, two components are primarily responsible for generating heat. The first is the mainboard which processes all display signals. A large and efficient custom heatsink keeps this board cool without the need for a noisy, distracting fan.  A graphene film behind the panel dissipates heat from the OLED panel itself silently and effectively.

The PG49WCD offers a relatively gentle 1800R curvature. We also offer a pair of ROG OLED gaming monitors that go all-in on the curve with stunning 800R curvatures: the ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM and PG39WCDM. The tighter curve wraps the display more closely around the periphery of your vision for heightened immersion. 

The ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM is available right now. It’s equipped with a 34-inch 3rd generation OLED panel that offers 30% brighter images compared to its predecessor and color-fringing reduction for crisp, highly readable text.

If you’re willing to wait just a few more weeks, you can get 32% more screen space with the ROG Swift OLED PG39WCDM. Its 800R curvature is even more stunning on the wider 39-inch panel. Every pixel – even the ones at the far edges of the panel – is equidistant from your eyes when you’re seated 80cm from the monitor. This gives you perfectly clear and bright images across the entire panel.  

With its 3440x1440 resolution, this OLED curved gaming monitor gives you a vividly detailed window into gaming worlds. It combines that level of detail with high-end clarity and control in fast-paced games with its combination of a fluid 240Hz refresh rate and a super-low 0.03ms response time. The cherry on top? A dazzling 1300-nit peak brightness for incredible HDR experiences. 

The best ROG OLED monitor for cross-platform gamers  

Many gamers today aren’t locked into one platform. You might very well have certain games that you love to play on your gaming PC, and others that you prefer to play on your Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch. Pick the right monitor, and you can game in front of one screen without compromising on quality, no matter what system you’re using. Maybe you even have an ROG Ally, the ultimate handheld PC gaming device, but want to plug it in at home to a larger format display for some multiplayer fun. 

The ROG Swift OLED PG42UQ gaming monitor as part of a cross-platform gaming setup

The key spec you’re looking for as a cross-platform gamer is an HDMI 2.1 port. This protocol unlocks higher data rates over the HDMI cable, enabling higher resolutions, higher 120Hz refresh rates at existing resolutions, and a number of desirable features like automatic low-latency mode and variable refresh rates for gaming devices. 

One ROG OLED monitor that’s particularly well-suited for cross-platform gaming is the ROG Swift OLED PG42UQ. Its 42-inch panel is unabashedly large, giving you an immersive experience when you kick back in your chair with a console controller, yet it’s not too large for when you lean in to take command of your gaming PC with your trusty keyboard and mouse. It pairs a 4K resolution with a 138Hz refresh rate (OC) for an excellent balance of detail and speed, and with its HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 ports, it’s primed and ready for both your PC and your console of choice.

The best ROG OLED monitor for an entertainment center

Maybe you love the feature set of the ROG Swift OLED PG42UQ, but you’re looking for something a bit larger. Perhaps you like to kick back in an armchair with a controller when you game, or you’re looking for a large display for your gaming den. The ROG Swift OLED PG48UQ delivers the same set of gaming features as the PG42UQ, but on an even-more massive 47.5-inch panel.

If you’re equally likely to game on your console as your PC, the PG48UQ just might be your dream monitor. Connect your next-gen console to its HDMI 2.1 port and your PC to its DisplayPort 1.4 port, and you’ll get the best of both worlds on a single display. A tripod socket atop the monitor makes it easy to place this display at the center of your livestreaming empire. Its sRGB mode ensures that you’ll enjoy accurate colors when you’re watching online video. And when it’s time to kick back on the couch and relax with your favorite show or streamers, you’ll get an entertainment experience from the ROG Swift OLED PG48UQ that rivals the level of immersion you’d get from a theater.

The best OLED gaming laptops

Once you experience what next-gen OLED display tech has to offer for your desktop PC gaming setup, you might start to wonder if you can enjoy the same premium tech when you’re using your laptop, as well. The short answer is that you can: very soon, we’re launching the 2024 editions of the ROG Zephyrus G14 and ROG Zephyrus G16, both of which feature the first-ever G-SYNC capable OLED display on a gaming laptop.

That’s not all that’s new with these lithe and lightweight machines. We’ve redesigned our Zephyrus machines from the ground up with a CNC-milled aluminum chassis that’s thinner and lighter than ever, while also allowing for a larger trackpad, keycaps, and speakers. A new Slash Lighting array adorns the lid for a bit of customizable flair, and the latest hardware from Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA keeps these machines performing great, whether you’re gaming, creating content, or working with the latest AI platforms.
