Announced at CES 2025, the Swift OLED PG27UCDM is one of the first 4K OLED gaming monitors, and it's a true feast for the eyes.

Uh, I own a ASUS ROG Swift PG32UCDM 4K 240 Hz 32 inch OLED monitor for over 6 months now. So they managed to shrink it down to 27 inch, which is OK, but 4K and 32 inch is about ideal for a monitor. I use a ASUS TUF RTX 4090 graphics card to drive it with no worries. PS unable to change signature, heh.

I spent significant time with the OLED PG27UCDM at the ASUS booth at CES this week. When you set the display to the DisplayHDR 400 True Black mode, the accuracy is very good with HDR mode enabled in Windows. Quite impressive for a gaming monitor.

However (with the firmware on this unreleased demo model), all other modes show very poor accuracy. This includes all DolbyVision modes and the Gaming / Cinema / Console HDR modes. Photographs viewed in a browser (Edge) looked terrible. Contrast of standard images isvery low, colors are very inaccurate, HDR highlights are clipped, etc.

The hardware is clearly very capable and impressive. This just seems like an issue that can be resolved in firmware. Hopefully this is resolved before launch, but if you get this display and the image quality looks low, just go to the OSD menu / Image / HDR setting and set it to DisplayHDR 400 True Black mode. The results in that mode are great. I would be very happy with those results - and I would be thrilled if the 1000 nit modes were improved to a reasonable level of accuracy (not that I expect they'll be as good as what is achieved in a limited mode).
