The best all-around ROG OLED monitors 

Let’s kick this list off with a pair of ROG OLED gaming monitors that would be a welcome addition to just about any gamer’s desk. They’re so well-rounded that it’s nearly impossible to limit them to a single category.

First up is our new ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG. With a 27-inch display that offers plenty of immersion while fitting comfortably into any setup, this QHD monitor features a glossy WOLED panel for inky blacks and vibrant colors in any environment. Combined with a blistering 360Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth motion and a 0.03ms response time for ultra-clear motion, and full support for HDR, this monitor will excel at just about anything you throw at it: esports, AAA games, or the latest blockbuster movie.

Meanwhile our ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG boasts similar specs – 27 inches, a QHD resolution, and a 240Hz refresh rate – with a semi-glossy QD-OLED panel, which uses quantum dot technology to serve up vibrant colors while also cutting down on distracting reflections in rooms with ambient light.

If either of these monitors check all your boxes, get ready for action: they’re available now. Follow the links below to find one of your own.

The best 32-inch OLED monitors for immersive gaming setups 

If you have a bit more room to spare and want an expansive field of view, you’ll want to look at our 32-inch OLED monitors. The ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM combines a spacious 32-inch design with a 4K panel, offering an exceptional balance of size and detail. As the first ROG monitor to offer Dolby Vision, it’s your gateway to fantastic HDR experiences. Dolby Vision ensures that you see HDR content as close as possible to what its creator intended, with all the vivid colors, lifelike details, and dazzling highlights on full display.  The PG32UCDM pairs a 3840×2160 panel with a 240Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time (GTG) for detailed images with smooth, blur-free animation. Built-in KVM gives you easy control over multiple devices, and its premium cooling solution makes sure that you get the most out of its otherworldly QD-OLED panel. 

If you want to step it up even further – particularly if you play fast-paced esports games – you’ll want to check out the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP. As the world’s first dual-mode OLED gaming monitor, this versatile display lets you switch between 4K 240Hz and FHD 480Hz modes on the fly. Toggling between the two modes is easy. With just a quick trip into the OSD menu, you’ll have the perfect combination of specs for the next game on your list. No matter which mode you pick, you’ll enjoy G-SYNC Compatible and FreeSync Premium tech for super-smooth, tear-free visuals, a near-instantaneous 0.03ms response time for ultra-clear motion, and a high-end 1300-nit peak brightness for excellent HDR entertainment.  

Connectivity options include DisplayPort and HDMI 2.1, making the PG32UCDP a great choice for cross-platform gamers who are as likely to game on a next-gen console as they are on their PC. You’ll find a USB Type-C port capable of 90W Power Delivery, too, and built-in KVM with hotkey control gives you convenient control over two connected devices.

The best ROG OLED monitor for esports  

If your idea of a great Friday night is a marathon run in esports titles like Valorant, The Finals, League of Legends, or Apex Legends, we recently raised the bar for tournament-grade display performance with an incredible 27-inch OLED gaming monitor sporting a next-level 480Hz refresh rate. 

Introducing the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP, the world’s first 26.5-inch QHD OLED gaming monitor with a native 480Hz refresh rate. In a comfortably sized display, you get a crisp pixel-per-inch ratio for gaming, a stunningly fast refresh rate, and the signature ultra-low response time of OLED panels. These specs combine for unparalleled battlefield vision, and all but ensure that this display is destined for glory on the pro circuit.

On top of all that, you get a premium set of features, including a 1300-nit peak brightness, 99% coverage of the cinema-grade DCI-P3 color gamut, and professional-grade color accuracy. This display’s extensive connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 ports with the bandwidth you need for this display’s impressive refresh rate.

The best ultrawide ROG OLED monitors

Thus far, we’ve looked at OLED gaming monitors in the familiar 16:9 aspect ratio. But we know that many gamers out there crave the unparalleled immersion of an ultra-wide display. 

We have three ROG OLED ultrawide options for your consideration. Let’s start with the largest of the three: the ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD. This gaming behemoth offers a curved 49-inch panel with a 5120×1440 resolution – that’s the same desktop real estate provided by two separate 27-inch 16:9 1440p displays. 

We outfit this display with a bright, vibrant QD-OLED panel. To help ensure a long product lifespan, to minimize the risk of burn-in, and to allow the ROG Swift PG49WCD to deliver dazzling highlights, we outfitted this monitor with a substantial cooling solution. In any OLED monitor, two components are primarily responsible for generating heat. The first is the mainboard which processes all display signals. A large and efficient custom heatsink keeps this board cool without the need for a noisy, distracting fan.  A graphene film behind the panel dissipates heat from the OLED panel itself silently and effectively. 

While the PG49WCD offers a relatively gentle 1800R curvature, we also offer a pair of ROG OLED gaming monitors that go all-in on the curve with stunning 800R curvatures: the ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM and ROG Swift OLED PG39WCDM. The tighter curve wraps the display more closely around the periphery of your vision for heightened immersion.

The ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM is equipped with a 34-inch 3rd generation OLED panel that offers 30% brighter images compared to its predecessor and color-fringing reduction for crisp, highly readable text. 

If you have a bit more space, you can get 32% more real estate with the ROG Swift OLED PG39WCDM. Its 800R curvature is even more stunning on the wider 39-inch panel. Every pixel – even the ones at the far edges of the panel – is equidistant from your eyes when you’re seated 80cm from the monitor. This gives you perfectly clear and bright images across the entire panel. 

With its 3440×1440 resolution, this OLED curved gaming monitor gives you a vividly detailed window into gaming worlds. It combines that level of detail with high-end clarity and control in fast-paced games with its combination of a fluid 240Hz refresh rate and a super-low 0.03ms response time. The cherry on top? A dazzling 1300-nit peak brightness for incredible HDR experiences.

The best large ROG OLED monitors for cross-platform gamers  

Many gamers today aren’t locked into one platform. You might very well have certain games that you love to play on your gaming PC, and others that you prefer to play on your Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch. Maybe you even have an ROG Ally, the ultimate handheld PC gaming device, but want to plug it in at home to a larger format display for some multiplayer fun at an entertainment center.

The key spec you’re looking for as a cross-platform gamer is an HDMI 2.1 port. This protocol unlocks higher data rates over the HDMI cable, enabling higher resolutions, higher 120Hz refresh rates at existing resolutions, and a number of desirable features like automatic low-latency mode and variable refresh rates for gaming devices. 

One ROG OLED monitor that’s particularly well-suited for cross-platform gaming is the ROG Swift OLED PG42UQ. Its 42-inch panel is unabashedly large, giving you an immersive experience when you kick back in your chair with a console controller, yet it’s not too large for when you lean in to take command of your gaming PC with your trusty keyboard and mouse. It pairs a 4K resolution with a 138Hz refresh rate (OC) for an excellent balance of detail and speed, and with its HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 ports, it’s primed and ready for both your PC and your console of choice. 

For an even more immersive experience, the ROG Swift OLED PG48UQ just might be your dream display for an entertainment center. Connect your next-gen console to its HDMI 2.1 port and your PC to its DisplayPort 1.4 port, and you’ll get the best of both worlds on a single screen. A tripod socket atop the monitor makes it easy to place this display at the center of your livestreaming empire. Its sRGB mode ensures that you’ll enjoy accurate colors when you’re watching online video. And when it’s time to kick back on the couch and relax with your favorite show or streamers, you’ll get an entertainment experience from the ROG Swift OLED PG48UQ that rivals the level of immersion you’d get from a theater. Want to see what the PG48UQ would look like in your gaming space? Head over to Instagram on a mobile device and use our AR-powered filter to see for yourself. 

The best OLED gaming laptops

Once you experience what next-gen OLED display tech has to offer for your desktop PC gaming setup, you might start to wonder if you can enjoy the same premium tech when you’re using your laptop, as well. The short answer is that you can: the 2024 editions of the ROG Zephyrus G14 and ROG Zephyrus G16 both feature the first-ever G-SYNC capable OLED display on a gaming laptop.   

That’s not all that’s new with these lithe and lightweight machines. We’ve redesigned our Zephyrus machines from the ground up with a CNC-milled aluminum chassis that’s thinner and lighter than ever, while also allowing for a larger trackpad, keycaps, and speakers. A new Slash Lighting array adorns the lid for a bit of customizable flair, and the latest hardware from Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA keeps these machines performing great, whether you’re gaming, creating content, or working with the latest AI platforms.
