Asus ROG Swift PG27AQN 27"

Overview

The Asus ROG Swift PG27AQN is one of the best gaming monitors out there. It’s particularly great if you’re a serious competitive player who also wants an excellent display for other use. If only it had backlight strobing – it’d be perfect for fans of CRT-like motion clarity as well.

Up until now, the best gaming displays for esports have always featured some sort of compromise, whether it be resolution or display lag. The Asus ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQN shows us what the next few years of esports could look like, finally allowing competitive players to enjoy the best of both worlds without having to make any sacrifices.

If competitive gaming is your thing then ASUS's ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQN is a revelation, delivering a stunning 1440p image with an incredibly fast 360Hz refresh rate and a number of other notable features. That is, as long as you've got the hardware to match its performance.

The ASUS PG27AQN is excellent for gaming. It features a high 360Hz refresh rate with native G-SYNC support to take full advantage of your NVIDIA graphics card. It also has exceptional motion handling that results in minimal blur and has low input lag for a responsive feel. Unfortunately, it isn't a good choice for dark room gaming because it has a low contrast ratio that makes blacks look gray. While it has a local dimming feature, it performs poorly and doesn't improve the contrast in dark scenes.

The Asus ROG Swift PG27AQN offers unparalleled motion clarity for a 27-inch 1440p monitor, though its contrast levels hold it back from being truly amazing.

Asus ha presentado su arma definitiva para dar la mejor experiencia de juego en 1440p, resolución favorita para nosotros por darnos calidad y nitidez en la imagen, así como mucho mejor framerate que UHD en cualquier tarjeta gráfica.

The Asus PG27AQN is a great high refresh rate gaming monitor that is going to be of particular interest to those wanting elite speed for competitive gaming. This is one of those displays that really pushes the industry forward as we're not only getting a 1440p 360Hz combination for the first time but IPS LCD performance that's never been reached up until now. It's safe to say that the PG27AQN is an extremely fast monitor in all facets, the refresh rate is very high which pairs well with the latest GPU hardware that can push well over 300 FPS in popular multiplayer games at 1440p, leading to increased smoothness and better motion clarity, relative to previous240Hz products.
