- Asus announced and revealed a Tandem Oled Gaming Monitor on Gamescom 2025
- The monitor has two layers of pixels for better brightness, effect efficiency and oled life
- It will have an update rate of 520 Hz at 1440p and 720Hz at 1080p
Gamescom 2025 is well underway, after opening Night Live, hosting Geoff Keighley, revealed world premieres and updates to highly expected titles. However, Asus, known for some of the best screens, is the star of the show so far with new hardware set to improve gaming experiences – and no, it’s not ROG Xbox Ally.
As reported by The Verge, the new Asus ROG Swift Oled PG27AQWP-W was announced and revealed in Gamescom 2025, a game monitor that gives users a 540Hz update speed to a 2560×1440 Display resolution and a 720Hz update speed of 1080p. Both Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W and LGS 4. Gen OLED are the fastest OLED and arguably the best gaming monitors on the market.
It is also not just plain OLED; Asus’ new gaming monitor will use tandem OLED technology, which is essentially two layers of pixels used to produce higher and (theoretically) more consistent brightness, deeper black levels and a reduced risk of burning on its’ Trueblack blank ‘screen.
The most important thing is that this should result in lower power consumption compared to other OLEDs as each pixel does not work as hard as normal to produce high brightness and deep blacks. Asus claims that the Tandem OLED panel results in ‘15% higher tip brightness, 25% larger color volume and 60% longer oled life ‘.
If these allegations are accurate, this must treat one of the biggest problems that OLED screens suffer from, which is an Auto Lights Limitter (ABL). Brightness limitation occurs when you see lighter content in HDR or, for example, browse on a clean white screen, which is done to control power consumption and of course reduce burning risks.
As Tandem Oled is used to tackle OLED life and brightness, it sounds like the ideal solution for ABL problems, and this can further expand the gap between OLED and mini-led screens with the former at the forefront.
Analysis: I was gradually frustrated with OLED CARE …
The use of Tandem OLED technology can very well be used by a host of other monitor manufacturers, and that is great news for me. For a long time, OLED care left with constant pixel updates and ABL me considering the mini-joint, where none of these problems (except ABL, but it is much less common compared to OLEDs) exists.
Losing consistently high brightness and constantly worrying about burning up with pixel update alarms should not be a problem with tandem oled. Of course, it is very dependent on how manufacturers implement this technology on screens and about the claim of a 60% longer OLED life means that OLED -Pixel updates are not required as often.
However, it is already a step in the right direction with regard to the extra benefits of deeper black levels and brightness (whether with ABL or not) without the cost of using more power.
There is no word yet about pricing or a release date, but I have no doubt that this will cost a fortune, so make your wallets ready if you are interested.
