Asus is announcing three new OLED gaming monitors at CES with “RGB stripe” technology that the company says will bring improvements to “texture clarity and color rendering consistency.”
With RGB stripes, which Samsung Display and LG Display (the two companies that usually provide the panels for gaming monitors) are also making a big deal about at CES this year, the colors of subpixels are lined up in vertical RGB stripes. The resulting clarity and color improvements “enhance your viewing experience no matter what you’re doing, making these monitors perfect picks for your multi-purpose setup,” Asus says. “Whether you want the most accurate and bold colors in your favorite game, the sharpest text for your everyday computing, or the utmost image accuracy for content creation purposes, you’ll have it.”
One of the monitors, the 27-inch ROG Swift OLED PG27UCWM, uses Tandem OLED tech for “incredible brightness and color gamut coverage as well as an extra-long display lifespan,” according to Asus. The monitor lets you toggle between 4K 240Hz or FHD 480Hz, and it also offers “true 10-bit color,” a DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20 port with 80Gbps of bandwidth, and an HDMI 2.1 port.
The other two monitors, the 34-inch ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDN and the ROG Strix OLED XG34WCDMS, use quantum dot OLED panels with “40% deeper perceived black levels than previous QD-OLED panels.” The PG34WCDN offers a refresh rate of up to 360Hz, while the XG34WCDMS tops out at 280Hz, and both support true 10-bit color. For ports, they have a DisplayPort 1.4 port, an HDMI 2.1 port, and a USB-C port with power delivery (though the PG34WCDN offers 90W power delivery while the XG34WCDMS supports 15W).
Asus isn’t yet sharing specifics about when the monitors will be available outside of saying that they’re “on their way.”
