Asus has officially launched the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W, the world’s first 720Hz OLED gaming monitor, setting a new benchmark for esports and competitive gaming displays. Initially available in China, this high-refresh-rate beast is expected to make its global debut soon.
A New Era of OLED Gaming
Unveiled earlier at Gamescom 2025, the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W headlines ASUS next-generation OLED line-up. It sits alongside models like the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG and ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG Gen 2 (now renamed ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMGR), both of which are still awaiting release.
The PG27AQWP-W, however, has officially gone on sale marking a significant milestone in OLED display innovation.

The ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W is currently exclusive to China, priced at CNY 8,499 (≈ $1,197). With a launch coupon, early buyers can grab it for CNY 7,998 (≈ $1,127).
While Asus hasn’t announced international pricing or release dates, a global rollout is reportedly on the way, as details have already surfaced on Asus’ global website.

This flexibility allows gamers to enjoy both ultra-fluid motion and cinematic visuals, depending on the use case.
The display also supports ASUS proprietary gaming optimizations, including:
• Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) for tear-free gameplay
• Low latency performance optimized for competitive titles
• Pixel-cleaning technology to prevent OLED burn-in
• Game Plus and Game Visual modes for customized visuals
OLED Brilliance
Thanks to LG’s advanced OLED tech, the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W achieves deep blacks, vibrant contrast, and exceptional colour depth. With 99.5% DCI-P3 coverage and HDR 500 True Black, gamers can expect lifelike visuals whether playing dark horror titles or bright, colourful shooters.
Final Thoughts
The Asus ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W represents a major leap forward in gaming display technology. Combining OLED visuals with an industry-first 720Hz refresh rate, it redefines what’s possible in esports-grade monitors.
While global availability remains unconfirmed, it’s clear that Asus is ready to push the limits of speed, brightness, and responsiveness in the OLED gaming space.
If priced competitively, this monitor could become the go-to choice for professional gamers and tech enthusiasts seeking the ultimate edge in performance.
