The panel updates 2.4X faster than typical 60Hz displays, shrinking the time between new frames from 16.7 milliseconds to only 6.9 ms.

While the 8.3-megapixel resolution benefits everything from casual surfing to serious photo editing, the 144Hz refresh rate is all about gaming. Spreading that resolution across the 27” panel yields a sharp 163-PPI pixel density capable of displaying richly detailed images and impeccably crisp text. The 4K buzzword is probably the most familiar it describes an Ultra HD 3840x2160 resolution that puts over eight million pixels in front of your eyeballs. Instead of relying on a single headlining feature, the PG27UQ creates the perfect picture with a cocktail of important ingredients. It's finally ready for prime time, with pre-orders beginning and the first units slated to hit North America in June. We know what you're thinking: "I've heard this before." The PG27UQ was unveiled to much fanfare at CES 2017. It also uses quantum dots and localized backlight dimming to produce vivid, wide-gamut colors and deep, HDR blacks that make games and other content look more vibrant and lifelike. Out of the box, it's very dull/neutral which is probably more accurate, but not quite what I'm used to or want.Ultra HD monitors have typically been limited to a maximum refresh rate of 60Hz, forcing gamers to choose between razor sharp visuals and silky smooth gameplay, but our new ROG Swift PG27UQ gaming monitor brings the best of both worlds by pushing its 4K resolution all the way up to 144Hz. I was originally disappointed with the SDR performance, but I just ended up having to adjust it in the NVIDIA control panel to get it on par with where my other monitors were. The HDR looks amazing (only played Doom Eternal so far). The next morning they got 2 more and I decided to pull the trigger. My local Microcenter had 7 in stock, but I waited. I think the G9/G9 Neo or other large 32:9 are only ideal if it's going to be your only monitor or possible one move above it.Īnyway, a couple days ago I was debating pulling the trigger on the PG35VQ. I prefer having dedicated/separate monitors for multiple applications. I have 2x 27" monitors I flank the 21:9 with as well as a design tablet on a movable arm for use with a stylus.

I was debating between the Odyssey G9, G9 Neo, the LG850 and 950, and the PG35VQ.įor my use and setup I decided I didn't want a 32:9 because taking up that much real estate, I'd rather have separate monitors. I'd been eyeballing an upgrade from my 2015 Acer X34 for a few months and decided to wait and I'm glad I did. I ended up picking up one of these after wanting this monitor for a LONG TIME.
