ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ (27-inch)

Fantastic image quality ; Superb gaming performance ; Stunning HDR ; Incredible 4K detail

Mind-bogglingly expensive ; Still only a 27-inch display ; 4K resolution too demanding

A 4K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate and true HDR combines to create the ultimate all-round 27-inch monitor. But a high price and small screen size for its price means the Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ won’t be the high-end monitor upgrade for everyone.

G-Sync HDR technology ; Great image quality ; Low response time ; Wide color gamut ; Nice design

Very expensive ; Needs a powerful PC

The Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ is a phenomenal gaming monitor, thanks to the Nvidia G-Sync HDR technology inside it, but its high price tag will put people off.

Stunning image quality ; Excellent gaming performance ; Superb colour reproduction

Incredibly expensive ; Limited connectivity ; Garish lights and design

The combination of 4K, a 144Hz refresh rate and proper HDR makes for image quality and gaming performance that no other monitor comes close to matching – at least until Acer’s X27 comes out. Until then, the Asus PG27UQ is a monitor to lust after.

Stunning image ; 144Hz in Ultra HD ; Amazing SDR and HDR contrast ; Over 90 percent DCI-P3 coverage ; G-Sync ; Build quality, styling

Expensive

Aside from cost, the Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ has no flaws of consequence. It’s extremely capable for gaming, video, color-critical work and general tasks. And once you’ve experienced games at Ultra HD resolution and 144Hz, it’s hard to imagine playing...

Stunning image quality.

Very, very expensive.

It’s best 27-inch gaming monitor you can get, but it’s super expensive and not without some compromise.

G-Sync HDR technology ; Beautiful images ; Wide color gamut

Price ; Need a powerful rig

You get what you pay for with the Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ, and in this case the high price tag means a plethora of high-end features. It's definitely not made for every gamer, but if decadence was a PC monitor, it'd be this.
