The technology is perfect but the execution is overkill, and the value prospect isnt very good.
This resides in the monitor stand with the lens protruding between the screens three feet.
The feet extend out quite far from the monitor and are both huge and very over the top.
Its a signature of the ROG Swift range of monitors and it exists to be distinct.
And this criticism manifests best when we get to pricing.
This explains the high cost, but the price is driven higher by a combination of things.
This monitors closest competitor is theMSIMPG 272URX, starting at $1,099 / 999 / AU$1,799.
This is iconically ROG and… well, getting old.
Competitors like Alienware and MSI now look more grown up across their entire product line-ups.
Even much of the ROG range looks more charming and less gamer-y.
Though this wouldnt be a problem for users mounting the display elsewhere, as its VESA wall-mount compatible.
Obviously because its an OLED panel, there is worry of burn-in occurring, and Asus solution is quaint.
The ports on offer with this display are also very accommodating.
Nevertheless, its serviceable and hardly an issue.
Should I buy the Asus ROG Swift PG27UCDM?
I quickly assembled it and replaced my monitor with it at home, using it over a three-week period.
I used the monitor with a variety of options enabled and disabled, and used a DisplayPort connection.
