The ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQWP-W is a 26.5-inch OLED gaming monitor with dual-mode QHD at 540Hz or HD at 720Hz, suited to competitive PC gamers who want exceptionally fast refresh rates and can match them with capable hardware.
Recommended For
- Competitive PC players who regularly reach very high frame rates in games such as Valorant or Counter-Strike and want fast motion at the monitor’s native 1440p resolution.
- Players who alternate between competitive shooters and visually rich single-player games and want one monitor for 1440p OLED gaming, HDR, and high refresh rates.
- Esports enthusiasts who specifically want to experiment with 720Hz in supported, fast-paced games or aim trainers and accept the drop to 720p for that mode.
- OLED gamers who often play in a room with ambient light and prefer a glossy WOLED screen that maintains dark-looking blacks over a QD-OLED screen’s more vivid colors.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- In fast competitive PC shooters, a gaming PC that can produce very high frame rates can use the monitor’s 1440p mode to keep quick movement and small moving details clear, with a responsive on-screen feel. The benefit is most relevant to players who prioritize tracking and reaction time.
- For a competitive match where maximum refresh is more important than image detail, players can switch to 720p mode. It may offer a small improvement in motion clarity, but the lower resolution makes the picture and game interface less sharp, so it is a specialized option rather than the everyday setting.
- When playing visually rich single-player games, the OLED panel’s deep blacks, contrast, color, and HDR highlights can make dark scenes and bright effects more distinct. The 1440p mode keeps this experience sharper than the 720p high-refresh mode.
- In PC games with frame rates that fluctuate, adaptive sync can help reduce visible tearing as the display updates alongside the graphics card. This is useful when a game does not consistently run at the monitor’s maximum refresh rate.

Reference Q&A
Q: ASUS PG27AQWP-W vs LG 27GX790B-B: which should I buy?
A: Choose the PG27AQWP-W if you prefer a glossy screen, clearer-looking images, or DisplayPort 2.1. Choose the LG 27GX790B-B if you prefer a matte coating to reduce reflections or want USB-C for connecting a laptop. Both offer 1440p at 540Hz and 720p at 720Hz, and RTINGS identifies their screen coatings and connectivity as key differences.
Q: Is the PG27AQWP-W worth upgrading to from the ASUS PG27AQDP?
A: The PG27AQWP-W is the more suitable upgrade if you want 540Hz at 1440p, an optional 720Hz mode at 720p, a brighter Tandem OLED panel, or DisplayPort 2.1. The PG27AQDP remains a practical choice if its 480Hz refresh rate meets your needs or you prefer its matte coating, which reduces mirror-like reflections compared with the PG27AQWP-W’s glossy screen.
Q: Should I buy the PG27AQWP-W or the ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQWMG?
A: Choose the PG27AQWP-W for its 540Hz native refresh rate, 720Hz mode, and DisplayPort 2.1. Choose the XG27AQWMG if 280Hz is enough and you want a lower-refresh-rate option with a similar Tandem OLED panel. RTINGS reports that their picture quality is similar, while the PG27AQWP-W adds higher refresh rates and dual mode.
Q: Is the PG27AQWP-W’s 720Hz mode worth using instead of 540Hz?
A: Use 540Hz for native 1440p gaming; switch to 720Hz when you prioritize the highest refresh rate and can accept 720p resolution. The 720Hz mode is most relevant to competitive play, games that run at very high frame rates, or titles already played at lower resolutions. TFTCentral notes that the improvement over 540Hz is likely to be small for most users.
Q: Can it run at 1440p and 540Hz?
A: Yes. The monitor supports QHD (2560 × 1440) at up to 540Hz and a second mode of 720p at up to 720Hz. To reach the highest refresh rates, your computer and connection must also support the selected mode; the monitor has DisplayPort 2.1a and HDMI 2.1 inputs.
Q: Is this monitor compatible with G-SYNC and FreeSync?
A: Yes. The product specifications list both NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support.
Q: Should I worry about OLED burn-in?
A: OLED burn-in is a consideration for long-term use, particularly when the same image remains on screen for extended periods. The product information lists OLED Care Pro features and a three-year burn-in warranty; check the warranty terms for coverage conditions.
Q: Can I mount it on a monitor arm, and does it have speakers?
A: It supports 100 × 100 mm VESA mounting and has height, pivot, swivel, and tilt adjustments. It does not have built-in speakers, so plan on using separate speakers or headphones.
Q: Is the PG27AQWP-W worth it for competitive FPS gaming?
A: It is aimed at players who prioritize very high refresh rates: it supports 1440p at 540Hz and 720p at 720Hz. A Reddit owner describes benefits in fast shooters but says a high-end PC is needed to take advantage of the refresh rate. If your games and system cannot deliver very high frame rates, the extra refresh-rate headroom may be less useful.
Q: Is the 720Hz mode worth using?
A: The 720Hz mode lowers resolution to 720p, while the 540Hz mode runs at 1440p. It may suit players who prioritize maximum refresh rate over image detail; a Reddit owner says they prefer the 540Hz mode because the resolution trade-off is not worthwhile for them.
Q: Are gray banding or uniformity issues a concern?
A: Some owners report gray banding or a “dirty screen” appearance, while others report little or no visible banding. These are individual reports and do not establish how common the issue is across units; check the panel during your return window if uniformity matters to you.
Q: Is it a good choice for work as well as gaming?
A: It can serve as a general-use display, but user discussions mention gray-texture uniformity concerns, and a reviewer specifically examines text quality. If you spend long periods reading or working with desktop content, inspect text and gray backgrounds on the unit you receive before deciding to keep it.
