There are many monitors for PC and console, but when you are looking for a device specifically designed for gaming you already have to go for high-performance models, with high refresh rate and low response time. Now, if in addition to this you are looking for maximum quality, then ASUS has a lot to say with its ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM, a monitor that we analyze in this article and which represents the best OLED monitor of the brand.

There are many users who are afraid of making an investment in an OLED monitor to play, since this type of panel has a risk of Burn-In, a problem that occurs when a static image remains on the screen for a long time and leaves a kind of "phantom shadow" because of it. However, ASUS's high-end OLED gaming monitors have multiple technologies to prevent this from happening, and we can confirm that as long as you are a little careful (for example, do not leave the monitor on with the same static image for long periods of time). hours) you will have no problem.

Without a doubt, the first thing that catches your attention about this monitor is its 26.5-inch OLED panel and QHD resolution (2560 x 1440), with a 240 Hz refresh rate compatible with FreeSync Premium and G-Sync and just 0.03 longer response time, something common in OLED panels (and that is why they are so good for gaming). It must be said that ASUS has physically installed a heatsink to avoid burn-in on the panel.

This monitor is HDR10, of course, and is capable of providing up to 1000 nits of maximum brightness, as well as covering 99% of the DCI-P3 color space or 135% of the sRGB color space, so you can imagine the quality of image that it is capable of delivering. Also worth noting is the Low Blue Light and Flicker Free technology to protect the user's visual health, as well as ASUS' own technologies GamePlus, Shadow Boost and Game Visual.

It should also be mentioned that it has a triangular base that allows height, rotation, pivot and tilt adjustment (that is, the ergonomics are total and you can even put the screen vertically), with VESA anchoring in case you want to mount it on an arm or on the wall, and it is a monitor that not only has a hologram with the ASUS ROG logo on the base (it can be deactivated, of course), but also has RGB lighting on the back, also configurable and deactivatable if not do you like it.
