ASUS lists 300 nits of typical brightness, up to 1,000 nits in HDR, a 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio and 99% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space. The monitor supports 10-bit color and is factory calibrated with a claimed Delta E below 2.

ASUS’ pages currently provide conflicting information about the panel generation. The product page describes it as third-generation QD-OLED, while the technical specification table labels it as Tandem QD-OLED. The listed performance figures remain identical to the third-generation panel used by the Strix XG27AQDPG.

The main changes concern the housing and stand. The PG27AQDPR has a semi-transparent rear cover and an ROG logo projector below the display. Its stand supports height, tilt, swivel and pivot adjustments, while a quarter-inch socket can hold a camera or other accessory. ASUS also includes OLED Care Pro, a Neo Proximity Sensor and a three-year warranty covering panel burn-in.

Pricing unconfirmed

Connectivity includes one DisplayPort 1.4 input with Display Stream Compression, two HDMI 2.1 FRL ports, two USB-A 5Gbps ports and a headphone jack. There is no DisplayPort 2.1 or USB-C connection. The monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and is listed as NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible.

ASUS has not attached a price to the PG27AQDPR. For comparison, the technically similar ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDPG currently costs $849 through the ASUS US store and €799 through several European ASUS stores .
