Asus has released the ROG Swift PG27UCWM, a premium 27-inch 4K gaming monitor with impressive features.

The PG27UCWM supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision with VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification. Its TrueBlack Glossy screen coating ensures deep black levels. The monitor features a dual-refresh mode called Frame Rate Boost, switching between 4K/240 Hz and Full HD/480 Hz, along with Adaptive-Sync from Nvidia and AMD.

Control options include Asus GamePlus enhancements, customizable quick menu and joystick, and the DisplayWidget Center app for Windows and Mac. Priced at $1,099, the PG27UCWM is a premium gaming monitor, boasting features and performance suitable for its price point.
