Asus ROG Swift PG27UQR

The Asus ROG Swift PG27UQR is a new edition of the PG27UQ (without the R in the name) and has a lot to offer gamers. This is a 68.58cm (27-inch) 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160 pixels) HDR gaming monitor with an overclockable refresh rate of 160 Hz. It relies on an IPS display with Quantum Dot technology and features a wide DCI-P3 color space for lifelike colors and especially smooth shading.

It also offers VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification and thus gets up to 600 cd/m² brightness for HDR content, while the typical brightness of 500 cd/m² is also impressive. HDR10 is also included as a standard.

The DCI-P3 color space is covered by 95%, while the color fidelity of DeltaE <2 is also impressive. Nvidia G-Sync Ultimate is used as VRR technology. With ASUS’ exclusive Aura Sync lighting technology, the ROG Swift PG349Q offers atmospheric ambient lighting that can be synchronized with other Aura-enabled components and peripherals.

The ROG Swift PG27UQR offers a variety of connectivity options, including DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1, plus two USB 3.0 ports for charging your mobile devices or connecting your keyboard/mouse while gaming, and a 3.5mm jack.
