In the world of gaming video display units, the long awaited Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ is something genuinely unique. This is the primary G-Sync HDR reveal on the marketplace, wearing one of the best specs like a 4K, 144Hz IPS panel with 1000 nits of height brightness and 384-zone backlighting. It’s essentially the highest end screen you can get proper now, with right assist for HDR and by no means earlier than visible refresh charge skills at this decision.

It’s also the most luxurious screen you could get right now out of doors of excessive-cease professional video display units, and really the most pricey gaming-magnificence monitor, at $2,000. This makes it roughly twice as steeply-priced as the following most luxurious gaming monitor, so you’d really want it to tick each possible field and ultimate for plenty, a few years without having an improve.

There are many extraordinary elements of this screen to undergo inside the overall performance section, however first permit’s check the design, because this isn’t your regular 27-inch gaming reveal.

Yes, we’re getting all the standard Asus gamer fashion rubbish-like RGB LEDs on the returned, projected mild underneath the stand, lots of exciting patterns and layout elements, and an average Asus ROG color scheme.

It’s not a minimalist or stealthy layout in any way; in truth, it’s very obvious this component is designed for ‘gamers’, a good deal to my annoyance.

But it doesn’t tick each box inside the cutting-edge ‘gamer display’ checklist. It’s no longer curved, which for my part I decide upon for sixteen:nine monitors and in particular those of this length. I don’t assume having a curved panel provides some thing to the experience at 27-inches so that’s a tremendous. Also, the bezels are quite big at 17 to 22mm and the show standard is a bit of a chunky beast. In truth, it’s just as fats as a few curved video display units without being curved in any respect, no longer that this honestly topics.

It’s also the primary screen I’ve ever reviewed that calls for energetic cooling. A vent simply in the front of the display inputs on the rear pumps out hot air thru a gradual-spinning however audible fan. The fan is needed to chill the new G-Sync HDR module, which is largely an luxurious, moderately powerful FPGA.

The module dumps out pretty a chunk greater warmness in comparison to the vintage G-Sync module so the fan is needed.

In a quiet room the fan could be very obvious; it’s simply not loud, but the hum is audible above my PC’s enthusiasts while idling, so silent PC fans will hate it, particularly considering basically each different screen in life does no longer require active cooling. The fan does stop finally after being a Boxn idle state and ‘off’ for a long term, but you’d assume the procedure will be a chunk faster, specially because the display uses 27 watts whilst in idle displaying nothing before entering into to a deep sleep.

Moving on, we get the same old inputs for a G-Sync display: DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.zero at the side of a two-port USB three.0 hub and a 3.5mm audio jack. Only DisplayPort supports the overall refresh fee, HDMI is limited to 60 Hz and doesn’t guide G-Sync.

The stand is sturdy and supports a exceptional variety of motion, consisting of tilt, peak modify, swivel and pivot so that you can use the display Box + portrait orientation if you desire. Only the legs are fully comprised of metal, the rest of the screen along with the stand pillar is a alternatively unimpressive plastic, especially for a $2,000 product. The build fine isn’t awful – there are not any visual defects or misaligned factors – but a greater top rate finish could be favored at this sort of fee.

The on-display show uses a directional toggle, which turns into essential while you % + Cores many features as Asus does. You won’t locate anything unusual inside the OSD, all of Asus’ usual cheat crosshairs, low blue light modes and exceptional gaming modes have made the reduce.

There are also a few HDR-precise functions like backlight modes that I’ll communicate approximately later, while ULMB or extremely low motion blur is lacking, a characteristic usually discovered on excessive-refresh G-Sync video display units to enhance clarity thru backlight strobing. My wager is ULMB is incompatible with the brand new G-Sync module and I doubt many human beings would pick out to apply it over G-Sync with HDR anyway, so not a huge loss.
