Among its many offerings, the Asus ROG Swift PG27UQR gaming monitor was introduced during Gamescom 2022. While originally slated for release in the fourth quarter of 2022, the device has now arrived on the market. Both an official product page and an online listing provide fresh insights into the capabilities of this 27-inch 4K HDR monitor.
Equipped with a 27-inch IPS panel boasting a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, the Asus PG27UQR achieves an impressive maximum refresh rate of 160 Hz, and it holds the DisplayHDR 600 certification.
The monitor boasts a contrast ratio of 1000:1, a peak brightness of 600 cd/m², a 10-bit color depth, and a swift response time of 1 ms (grey to grey). Notably, it covers 95 percent of the DCI-P3 color space, and its delta E value is rated at less than 2.
Gamers are provided with an array of features including FreeSync Premium Pro, G-Sync-compatible Adaptive Sync, Variable Overdrive, Aura Sync lighting, a black stabilizer, and an anti-motion blur mode. It’s suggested that the latter may be combined with ELMB-Sync technology to combat tearing. Additionally, crosshair overlays and an FPS display can be activated via OSD if desired.
The monitor’s connectivity options encompass two HDMI 2.1 inputs, two DisplayPorts 1.4 (with DSC), a USB 3.2 hub (Gen 1), and a headphone output. Notably, all graphic connections support 4K at up to 160 Hz. Ergonomically, the monitor offers rotation, tilt, height adjustment, pivot, VESA mount compatibility (100 x 100 mm), blue light filtering, and flicker-free backlighting.
Excluding the stand, the Asus ROG Swift PG27UQR weighs 3.9 kg and measures 613.7 x 367.2 x 88.7 mm (W x H x D).
