Amazing in almost every way, the screen part of the monitor is amazing 4K OLED on a 27inch monitor is phenomenal and having up to 240 fps as well is crazy. The colors are amazing, the blacks are black (gets hard to see in dark places in games XD). HDR on monitors, according to professional reviewers, isn't all that great, and I can confirm this as when I turned it on I didn't like how it looked and even in games that support HDR (cyberpunk 2077) it looked like all it did was up the brightness which made the colors not pop and have the deep rich colors like it does without HDR. I'm supposed to be using the pixel cleaning function every 8 hours or less to improve the longevity of the OLED screen but using that function renders the screen unusable for a few minutes so I only do it when I first turn my computer on, and the computer has to be in to do this (unfortunately I can't only have the monitor on and use the pixel cleaning feature). Now onto easily the worst "feature" (more like gimmick), the neo proximity sensor is awful, I'll be in the middle of intense gameplay and the monitor will just turn off and I have to wave at it to wake it up. I set the neo proximity sensor to the max distance and the max timer and it still randomly turns it off while I'm using it, so I just manually turn the monitor off whenever I get up to do something that will be longer than a few minutes. The ROG logo projector on the bottom is neat though unfortunately the only color option is ROG red which is a bummer given the fact all the other settings the monitor has are great and allow for a lot of customization to the end users liking. Overall this is a great monitor, it does what I bought it for exceptionally well and the only drawbacks are extras asus packed into the monitor that I can simply disable. 9/10

recently upgraded to the ASUS ROG Swift 27” 4K OLED 240Hz, and wow… this thing is on another level. I’ve owned plenty of gaming monitors over the years, but nothing comes close to the combination of speed, picture quality, and overall smoothness this display delivers. Picture quality: The OLED panel is insanely sharp with perfect blacks and ridiculous contrast. Games look like they come to life, shadows are deep, colors are vibrant, and HDR actually looks like HDR is supposed to look. Watching movies on it feels like having a mini-OLED TV on your desk. Performance: 240Hz at 4K with a 0.03ms response time is just wild. Everything feels instant. Motion clarity is buttery smooth whether I’m playing FPS, racing games, or just scrolling around on desktop. FreeSync Premium Pro also works flawlessly with my setup. Build & design: ASUS really nailed the premium feel. The stand is sturdy, adjustable, and the whole monitor just feels high-quality. Cable management is actually solid too. It has plenty of ports, including HDMI and DisplayPort, so connecting everything was simple. Final thoughts: If you want the BEST gaming experience you can get right now in a 27” form factor, this is it. The price is high, but you immediately see where every dollar went. Easily one of the best gaming monitors on the market today. Highly recommend, 100% worth it. The craziest thing is how the OLED literally looks invisible because of the deep blacks. When I put it next to my regular monitor, you can clearly see the frame and backlight glow on the regular one… but the OLED? The blacks are so deep that the whole screen just disappears. It looks like the letters are floating in mid-air on a pitch-black void. You can’t even tell where the panel ends or begins. I’ve never seen a monitor pull off that effect before — it really shows how insane the contrast on this thing is.

This monitor (PG27UCDM) could have been perfect and was so very close. The combination of rich colors, response time, refresh rate and resolution is unmatched. However, given this is one of the most expensive gaming displays you can buy, this display's surface quality is completely unacceptable. My display has a manufacturing defect. Near the top of the display, there is a cluster of numerous fine surface imperfections that it casts a shadow within the display; see picture. These imperfections could not have been caused by merely wiping the display, which causes problems described below. Unfortunately, I did not notice this within the exchange window as I was out of town for a few weeks immediately after the purchase and mostly operated in low-light conditions. An important warning for potential buyers: DO NOT purchase this monitor if you are precious about scratches. I have been using computers professionally and for entertainment for four decades and never in my life have I had a panel scratch until now. I used the supplied cleaning cloth and the surface is completely swirled with scratches from a single instance of circular motions. Again, this is a separate issue from what I described above. I do believe both issues, however, are related to the extremely soft surface. Search for this display and "scratches" and there are threads on Reddit about these panels and scratching. To be clear, my rating has nothing to do with the price. I happily pay premium prices for quality products. This is a premium product with an absolutely inexcusable panel quality for any monitor at any price. Furthermore, requiring customers to navigate warranty procedures immediately after purchase fundamentally violates the basic transaction they've entered into. When consumers pay full price for a product, they're purchasing a working item—not the mere possibility of one after repairs or replacements. The warranty process should be a safety net for issues that develop over time, not an immediate hurdle for buyers who've just exchanged their hard-earned money for what was sold as a functional product.

I normally don’t do reviews, but this is a must. I was waiting for a long time to have a 27” 4K OLED, and when the opportunity arose, a couple of options arrived. This, Samsung, and a few others. I chose this because of Dolby Vision and Neo Proximity, which is a sensor to see when you walk away after a set time; the screen turns off to prevent burn-in on static images. Overall, though, I was blown away by the screen quality and design, even though it’s mounted; it’s a clean design. The controls are nice and easy to use. I recommend this to anyone who wants the best of the best for gaming but also for work usage.

No more purple tints. Deep blacks vibrsnt colors. Fast reponses at 240hz. Id love to keep this monitor if the open box didnt have extreme scratches from the side of the monito. Scratches seemed to happen during shipping. Overall, the product was working as intended. Asus nailed this one. Shout out to bestbuy for quick and efficient delivery

This monitor is amazing the colors pop my series X games look sharp. Movies look sharp, I also want to add my first pc in 15+ years to go with this thing because I love this thing so much. You won’t be disappointed. My only gripe was the back of the monitor came with a tiny tiny scratch and it was supposed to be brand new.

This is my first actual monitor. Ive been useing my LG G4 tv but man let me tell you this is a huge upgrade in everyway and playing at 240hz is definitely a big difference than the 144hz I was use to. I considered getting a 32” but I really wanted a monitor with DP80 full support and im so glad I got the 27” it is perfect size.

Best gaming monitor money can buy, if you’re on the fence just buy it. I promise you won’t regret it.

Best oled 4k monitor I used to date, just wish it was a bit cheaper. Had to return this when I saw a different monitor on sale with same specs but less features. This one was actually better, but now going to wait for the pg32ucdm3 to release at Best Buy.

Easily the best monitor I’ve ever owned. Colors are crisp in both SDR and HDR. Brightness is more than adequate, incredible viewing angles, insanely high PPI given its 27” size. I wanted a display that could really give me excellent motion clarity while also providing great clarity. Excellent for single player games and with 240hz, excellent for less demanding esport kinda games. Love it.

Best monitor so far the picture looks amazing and I play on ps5 and Xbox series x only complain I have about this monitor I have to switch dolly vision on manually when playing games on xbox

Best monitor I have ever seen. Lots of features 4k at its best
I built a new PC earlier this year with a 5080 and have been blown away by this monitor everytime I use it. Buttery smooth OLED visuals, lightning fast response rate, its a sturdy machine. My favourite feature though is easily the OLED Neo Sensor that turns the monitor off whenever I step away, makes burnin a complete non issue!

I don't take the time to write positive reviews for good products and, I didn't here either. This product is exceptional. Let me tell you why. What I love: -The pixel density. At 27″ (well, actually 26.5″) and 4K resolution, you’re sitting at ~166 PPI, which means every texture, UI element, and piece of text is razor sharp. -The colors and contrast are next-level. Deep, inky blacks in dark rooms and bright highlights when you want them. My games popped. HDR scenes had real depth. -The refresh rate & responsiveness are perfect for what I love to do. Gaming, tweaking settings, paying attention to performance. 240 Hz, 0.03 ms G2G. For someone like me who tweaks performance and has a setup with high-end GPU/monitor ambition, this feels future-proof. If your PC can push high frames, you’ll see them here. -The connectivity. Full DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR20, 80 Gbps) means you’re not bottlenecked and, you're not going to be in the future either. What to note (because I’m telling you like I see it) -The price. This is premium. But something I've learned as I got older (I'm in the 39-45 year old bracket), you get what you pay for. -The burn in risk. This isn't my first OLED and but it's my first new-gen OLED. Asus' warranty covers burn in and if you want extra peace of mind, there is always Geek Squad Protection (I bought that too) -If you have high end GPU, and you’re looking for the best possible clarity + smoothness combo without going ultrawide, this monitor knocks it out of the park. If you plan on getting a high end GPU, this monitor still knocks it out of the park. If you're just looking to upgrade to the best 4k OLED 27" monitor, this knocks it out of the park. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. This monitor is a home run.

Upgrading from a 27" 4K IPS to this QD-OLED the difference is genuinely night and day — games now look hyper-realistic, with stunning color depth, inky blacks, and fast response times. The visual fidelity is so immersive that it feels like a generational leap. The semi-glossy screen does show a faint purple hue when turned off in daylight, but in my moderately bright room, it’s never distracting during use. Gameplay remains immersive, even in daytime conditions. The panel performs automatic pixel cleaning every time it enters standby, so I use a blank screensaver during idle periods and either lock the screen or shut down after extended sessions. One minor hiccup: the ambient light sensor needs to be fixed. It occasionally powers down the monitor mid-game, so I adjusted the timeout to 10 minutes. That’s helped, though it’s still not flawless. Despite that, this is hands-down the best monitor I’ve ever owned. The combination of cinematic OLED visuals and responsive performance makes it a dream for both gaming and multimedia. Once you experience true blacks and vibrant color depth, there’s no going back. OLED is the clear winner.

For PC this monitor is amazing, games have never looked so good. Super crisp 4K, 240Hz, amazing response time, great colors with or without HDR, OLED blacks, etc. It works great for all genres of games. The OLED screen care features are great too. The proximity sensor turning the screen black after you walk away works as advertised and is a great peace of mind feature. If you have the distance set correctly the image comes back as soon as you're back at your desk. The pixel cleaning feature can be customized so it can be used without feeling like a chore. The only game I play on console is College Football 26. Based on this one game it doesn't appear that the Series X handles 4K very well so you will not be able to reap the benefits of a monitor like this. The menus look crisper but during gameplay it's hard to see a difference between 1440p and 4K and yes, settings were confirmed. At 4K the upscaling causes distortion to be seen around the player models. Back to the PC experience, going from a 27" 1440p 240Hz IPS monitor to this 27" 4K 240Hz OLED monitor, the difference is very noticeable. I'm running a 13700k and a 4090 and depending on the game I'm still able to achieve between 100 and 200 FPS on high settings. Even on medium settings 4K looks much better than 1440p on ultra. I told myself for years the jump was not worth the small hit to FPS but I was definitely wrong.

Great picture and amazing features. Have a non oled 4K monitor and you can see the difference instantly. If your pc is high end this Oled monitor is a must have! Gaming is great on it
