Black Friday deal alert: get an ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM gaming monitor for a great price

Black Friday 2023 has come and gone. We still have great gift ideas for the last items on your holiday shopping list, though. Head over to our Holiday Gift Guide to learn more.

OLED panel tech has kicked off a revolution in gaming monitors. With the ROG OLED gaming monitor lineup, you can truly have it all: inky blacks, buttery-smooth animation, unparalleled clarity in fast-paced action, vibrant colors, and more. Today, you can ascend to the next generation of display tech at a price that’s too good to miss. For a limited time, we’re offering a Black Friday special on the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM. This 27-inch, 1440p, 240Hz OLED monitor appeals to gamers of all stripes, and right now you can grab one over at Newegg for 15% off its list price.

Want to know what’s like to game with this impressive display? Click here for a hands-on perspective, but here’s the short version. The 27-inch OLED panel is the star of the show, offering pixel-perfect light control that allows for perfect black levels. This stunning contrast makes images pop right off the screen, even in SDR — though it shines even more in HDR gaming, with a peak brightness of 1000 nits on a 3% window in HDR mode and 99% coverage of the more vivid DCI-P3 color space. With a Delta E value of less than 2, colors are accurate across the board for a studio-quality experience in games, movies, and more. And with the insanely fast 0.03ms response time of OLED displays, that 240Hz refresh rate will provide clearer motion than ever before, allowing you to spot your enemy in a split-second’s notice.

To achieve this incredible performance, we had to design an entirely new cooling system for the panel. Heat is one of the main causes of burn-in on OLED displays, so to prolong the PG27AQDM’s lifespan, we developed a custom heatsink and rearranged internal components to draw heat away from the panel. Combined with a larger air vent along the top, we were able to dissipate heat more evenly across the rear of the monitor, reducing average temperatures by 5% compared to other 27-inch OLED gaming monitors.

We also worked closely with the panel manufacturer to determine the correlation between OLED brightness, voltage level, and operational temperature. Armed with this information, we developed a smart algorithm that optimizes the voltage applied to each pixel based on the system’s temperature. This intelligent voltage optimization ensures the luminance can stay consistent across the panel, allowing for more uniform brightness, even with multiple windows open.

Finally, we know competitive gamers like to tweak their display settings for the biggest edge, so we’ve introduced a new version of our DisplayWidget Center software that allows you to change those settings with your mouse, rather than fiddling with the OSD and the monitor’s buttons. You can set a timer for the OLED protection feature as well, to fit your preferences.

At its regular list price, the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM is a tempting display for gamers of all kinds. Its blend of premium specs stands poised to elevate your vision and control in fast-paced esports games, and its exceptional contrast, inky blacks, and vibrant colors will bring showcase games like Alan Wake II come to life like you’ve never seen them before. And now with a 15% discount, this monitor is too good to pass up. Head over to Newegg and grab one while the promotion lasts.
