ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP: what it gives up
- Feeding 480 frames a second at 1440p needs a graphics card most people do not have
- Priced above ASUS's own 240 Hz version of the same size and resolution, and refresh rate is the entire difference
- 46 pixels per degree — no sharper than the $200 panels here, because refresh rate is where the money went
- No USB-C, KVM or speakers — a display and nothing else, where ASUS's own 32-inch OLED doubles as a dock
ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM: what it gives up
- The 477-nit SDR figure comes at the price of automatic brightness limiting, which is visible as the screen content changes
- Semi-glossy QD-OLED, so reflections and raised blacks under room light are part of the deal
- Twelve hundred dollars puts it at the top of this catalog's gaming tier
- 90 watts is a thin-laptop figure, not enough for a 16-inch workstation under load
