Asus has teased its fans with the first 27-inch OLED gaming monitor. With this, Asus is giving its fans a taste of what to expect at CES 2023.
The Asus tweet (see below) teased the snappily-named PG27AQDM, posting a video that briefly shows off the monitor and notes its 1440p resolution and 240Hz refresh rate.
The tweet also declared “1440p Endgame Monitor is here,” clearly championing how Asus sees OLED panels as the pinnacle of 1440p gaming monitors.

Now Asus is no stranger to OLED displays, having released monitors with such panels in 34-inch plus sizes. But what’s exciting here is that this is the first OLED gaming monitor for Asus that’s a more practical size for desktop gaming.
There are plenty of arguments to be had, but 1440p on a 27-inch monitor is basically the sweet spot for PC gaming. Such a size and resolution means the likes of Asus can make monitors that are more affordable than their larger counterparts or some of the best OLED TVs.
And 1440p is a perfectly crisp resolution for a 27-inch screen, meaning 4K isn’t needed, and so a super-powerful PC isn’t required to push all the pixels.
That’s a very good thing, as OLED tech hasn’t really penetrated PC gaming as much as it has with standard 4K TVs. While gaming displays have flirted with OLED and mini-LED panels, they are predominantly LCD-based, and thus miss out on the deep blacks, rich colors and contrast OLED can provide.
In short, this could very much be one of the gaming displays to look out for in 2023.
Right now there’s no world on pricing or release date. But we expect to get you words from CES in January, where we hope to get a closer look at the PG27AQDM and other tech Asus has in store.
