The Asus ROG Swift OLED 27 and Alienware34QDOLED are two of the best gamingmonitors you can buy, but who claims the OLED crown?
In the span of only a few months, OLED has flooded the world of gaming monitors, and two models rise above the heights of others: Alienware’s 34 QD-OLED and Asus’ ROG Swift OLED 27.
There are alternatives available, namely the LG UltraGear OLED 27 and the Corsair Xeneon OLED 27, both of which use the same OLED panel as the PG27AQDM and are available at $1,000. If you want Asus’ model, which is excellent even outside the panel, you’ll need to wait for it to come back in stock. OLED isn’t equal I’m going to get this out of the way upfront: the Alienware 34 QD-OLED and Asus ROG Swift PG27AQDM blow away the vast majority of monitors in image quality. They are both based around OLED panels, allowing independent brightness control of each pixel, and they have fantastic HDR. There are important differences between them, though.
Brightness is on par between the displays, but the Alienware 34 QD-OLED looks much better out of the box. It has better color coverage than the PG27AQDM and much better color accuracy. It’s not a difference in look necessarily, but there is a difference in feel, especially if you are highly attuned to a certain game. For instance, I could easily tell a 240Hz display from a 165Hz one in Overwatch 2, but I wouldn’t be able to tell you the difference in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. So, if you have a game where you’re highly competitive and know the feel of, the 240Hz refresh rate on the PG27AQDM can make a difference.
On the desktop Even with the risk of OLED burn-in being a little overblown, there’s no doubt that using an OLED for productivity carries some risks that aren’t present with traditional LED monitors. That’s true for both the Alienware 34 QD-OLED and ROG Swift PG27AQDM.
