The forthcoming generation of elite gaming displays has arrived, led by Samsung’s newest QD-OLED panel innovation. This model builds upon previous advancements such as 27-inch 1440p panels at 360Hz and 32-inch 4K panels at 240Hz, merging the finest aspects of both realms: a sleek 27-inch design with breathtaking 4K resolution and refresh rates reaching 240Hz. This intriguing blend is something many gamers, myself included, have longed for.

MSI and Asus are at the forefront of embracing this cutting-edge technology by unveiling new models prior to CES 2025.

Beginning with Asus, the brand has revealed the ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM (indeed, that’s the complete designation), signifying its entry into the realm of 27-inch 4K OLED gaming monitors.

Additionally, it comes with a custom heatsink and smart voltage regulation to effectively control heat, diminishing the possibility of burn-in while extending the lifespan of the OLED. It claims to reach a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, supports Dolby Vision, encompasses 99% of the DCI-P3 color range, and maintains a Delta E < 2 color disparity, guaranteeing precise and dynamic color portrayal. The monitor also provides ergonomic adjustments and a unique visual identity, in line with Asus’ ROG branding.

MSI has introduced two new models: the MPG 272URX QD-OLED and the MPG 272QR QD-OLED X50.
