ROG GAMING MONITORS
ROG
Swift OLED PG27AQDM – The endgame 1440p OLED gaming monitor
This
27-inch WQHD (2560 x 1440) OLED gaming monitor features an anti-glare
micro-texture coating, 0.03 ms response time, and 240 Hz refresh rate to
deliver superfast frame rates for truly immersive gaming. To ensure OLED
longevity, the Swift OLED PG27AQDM includes a custom heatsink for
heat-generating components and a new internal layout to improve cooling.
Internal airflow has been optimized, and the top air vents are larger for
better heat dissipation. With heat being dissipated more evenly across the rear
of the monitor, the average temperature is 5% lower compared to other 27-inch
gaming monitors.
Intelligent
voltage optimization ensures consistent luminance for each pixel by controlling
the amount of voltage applied to it. ROG worked closely with the panel maker to
determine the correlation between OLED brightness, voltage level, and
operational temperature. A smart algorithm coded for the panel optimizes
voltage based on temperature changes to ensure consistent brightness across the
panel.
A uniform
brightness feature keeps the brightness level consistent even when changing the
size of bright white windows. Additionally, the new DisplayWidget Center
software lets users tinker with OLED-related functions and system settings via
an intuitive interface, without having to fiddle with the OSD.
This monitor delivers astonishing HDR performance and a peak brightness of 1000 nits[2]. 99% DCI-P3 gamut and Delta E < 2 color accuracy ensures exceptional, lifelike colors, with the Swift OLED PG27AQDM able to showcase the darkest black hues along with high perceptual brightness. The Swift OLED PG27AQDM will be available in Q1 2023.

ProArt Color Center is a centralized online tool that helps users manage the color accuracy of multiple ProArt displays that support hardware calibration, to ensure consistent colors across the board. ProArt Color Center allows users to check when the monitors were last calibrated, whether the monitors need calibration, and can be used to schedule calibration time for multiple monitors, even if they’re using different color parameters, and situated in different locations. For example, monitor-calibration times can be scheduled for a design team in London that works with sRGB, and a Taipei-based video editing team that uses DCI-P3. ProArt Color Center would then calibrate these monitors.
