ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM / LG UltraGear 45GX950A-B

ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM: PG27UCDM; a single 26.5-inch 4K 240 Hz model. The larger PG32UCDM is a separate monitor.

LG UltraGear 45GX950A-B: 45GX950A-B: 44.5-inch 800R curved 5K2K (5120 × 2160) OLED, 165 Hz / Dual-Mode 330 Hz. The same-size 45GX950B (UltraGear evo) and the WQHD 45GX90SB-B are separate.

Panel26.5-inch QD-OLED, 16:9; 3840 × 2160 (4K); 0.153 mm pixel pitch

The small pixel pitch (about 166 ppi) makes text and interface edges look sharper than on 27-inch 1440p monitors.

ASUS
44.5-inch WOLED, 21:9, 800R curve; 5120 × 2160 (5K2K), 0.2035 mm pixel pitch (about 125 ppi); MLA+

800R means the screen curves along a circle with an 80 cm radius, so the edges sit closer to the eyes. MLA+ (micro lens array) directs OLED pixel light forward to raise brightness.

LG
Refresh rate and VRR240 Hz; 48–240 Hz variable refresh on HDMI and DP/USB-C inputs; FreeSync Premium Pro, G-SYNC Compatible, VESA AdaptiveSync Display 240Hz

All inputs support 240 Hz at 4K; variable refresh prevents tearing and stutter as the game frame rate moves between 48 and 240.

Response time0.03 ms (GtG)

Grey-to-grey transition time; because OLED pixels change much faster than LCD, motion blur depends mostly on the refresh rate.

ASUS
—
Brightness and contrast1,000 cd/m² HDR peak; 1,500,000:1 typical contrast

1,000 cd/m² is a peak reached on a small area of the screen; a full white screen stays much lower. ASUS gives no typical SDR brightness value.

ASUS
—
HDRVESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black; HDR10; Dolby Vision

The True Black tier measures OLED’s very low black level; 400 is the minimum peak brightness threshold in the certification test. Dolby Vision support lets compatible sources use scene-by-scene HDR data.

Colour99% DCI-P3, 145% sRGB; 10-bit (1.07 billion colours); ΔE < 2

ΔE < 2 means factory calibration deviates from target colours by an amount most people cannot see; a calibration report is included.

Inputs1 × DisplayPort 2.1; 2 × HDMI 2.1 (FRL); 1 × USB-C (DP Alt Mode, 90 W power delivery); headphone jack

USB-C takes video over a single cable and supplies up to 90 W to a laptop. The HDMI 2.1 inputs can be used for 4K 120 Hz on consoles.

ASUS
2 × HDMI, 1 × DisplayPort 2.1 (DSC), 1 × USB-C (5120 × 2160 at 165 Hz, data, 90 W power); 2 × USB 3.0 downstream; 4-pole headphone/mic

DSC compresses the image visually losslessly so high resolution and refresh rate fit through one cable. USB-C gives a laptop video, data and 90 W charging over one cable. LG notes NVIDIA released a driver in April 2025 that fixed screen blackouts seen over DisplayPort.

LG
USB and KVM3 × USB-A 5 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 1) hub; KVM switch

KVM moves the keyboard and mouse attached to the monitor between two computers when the input is switched.

SpeakersNone

A headphone jack or external speakers are needed for audio.

OLED protectionASUS OLED Care; Neo Proximity Sensor

OLED Care includes burn-in prevention functions such as pixel cleaning, screen shift, logo brightness adjustment and taskbar detection. The proximity sensor dims the screen when the user leaves, reducing static image time.

Refresh rate and response—165 Hz at 5K2K; 330 Hz at WFHD with VESA-certified Dual-Mode; 0.03 ms (GtG)

Dual-Mode doubles the refresh rate by lowering the resolution: 330 Hz for fast competitive games, 5K2K at 165 Hz for detailed games.

LG
Brightness and HDR—275 cd/m² typical (minimum 250); HDR10, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400; DCI-P3 98.5%; 10-bit; contrast 1,500,000:1 (typical)

DisplayHDR True Black 400 is VESA’s certification for screens that can turn black fully off, such as OLED, and requires 400 nits peak brightness.

LG
Sync—NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, VRR

Variable refresh rate matches the monitor to the graphics card’s frame rate, reducing tearing and stutter.

LG
PiP and PbP—PIP and 2-source PBP

PiP shows one source in a small window, and PbP splits the screen to show two sources side by side, for example a computer and a game console at once.
