ASUS Launches the Cheapest ROG OLED Display Yet: ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDMS with 1440p @ 280Hz QD-OLED Panel
ASUS has introduced its most affordable OLED gaming monitor to date, the ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDMS, initially launched in China. Designed to strike a balance between performance and cost, this new 27-inch display enters the market with a competitive price tag and premium features, aiming to redefine the price-performance standard for OLED gaming displays.
The ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDMS features a 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED panel that supports a blazing fast 280Hz refresh rate, slightly exceeding the 240Hz refresh rate offered by its sibling, the ROG Strix XG27AQDMG, which launched last year with a WOLED panel. While the XG27AQDMG has been retailing at around $650 or more at Amazon, the new XG27ACDMS has launched in China for 3,999 Yuan (approximately $558 USD), making it ASUS’s most affordable ROG OLED monitor to date.
Even more impressively, the price drops to 3,400 Yuan (~$474 USD) in regions offering government subsidies, which currently makes it the cheapest 2K OLED gaming monitor on the market with this level of specs.
According to the official product page, the monitor includes top-tier gaming and display features:
1440p resolution (2560x1440)
280Hz refresh rate
True 10-bit color depth
99% DCI-P3 color gamut
Ultra-fast 0.03ms response time
Delta E<2 color accuracy for professional-grade visuals
QD-OLED technology for enhanced brightness and contrast
USB-C (DP Alt Mode) connectivity
A unique addition is the NEO Proximity Sensor, which turns off the display automatically when the user steps away, reducing power usage and mitigating burn-in risk—a longstanding concern with OLEDs. Additionally, ASUS backs the display with a 3-year warranty including burn-in coverage, reinforcing confidence in the longevity of the QD-OLED panel.
While the XG27ACDMS mirrors many specifications from the XG27AQDMG, small refinements such as improved connectivity and the new burn-in protection sensor help distinguish it in ASUS’s growing OLED monitor lineup.
At the time of writing, ASUS has not announced international availability for this model, but with strong interest in affordable OLED panels, global release details are expected to follow soon. The announcement was first spotted on Weibo, hinting at a broader rollout possibly in the works.
Would you consider switching to OLED now that high-refresh QD-OLED monitors are becoming more affordable? Or will burn-in concerns still hold you back? Share your thoughts below!
