ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDN: Ultrafast ultrawide OLED with RGB Stripe, but watch burn-in

RTINGS’s review praises the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDN as a premium 34-inch ultrawide gaming monitor with a curved 3440x1440 panel, a blistering 360 Hz refresh rate, and a fifth-gen QD‑OLED RGB Stripe subpixel layout that improves text clarity. It delivers deep blacks, vivid colors, minimal VRR flicker, and a feature-rich connection set (HDMI 2.1/DP 2.1, USB hub with a KVM, 90 W PD), plus useful extras like a proximity sensor to reduce burn-in risk. Downsides include blacks that can look gray in bright rooms and a burn-in risk with static elements, with some caveats for console ultrawide signal. Calibration may be needed for color accuracy, and it commands a premium vs. alternatives.

LG Debuts Native 1,000Hz Full HD UltraGear for Competitive FPS

LG unveiled the UltraGear, a 24.5-inch IPS Full HD monitor with a native 1,000Hz refresh rate, designed for competitive FPS play where fast reaction times matter. Unlike some rivals that require lowering resolution to reach 1,000Hz, LG says this model can hit 1,000Hz at 1080p. It features a compact stand with tilt/height adjustment, a headset hook, a low-reflection panel, and on-device AI for scene optimization and spatial audio, though pricing and availability remain undisclosed.

ASUS rolls out a 12.3-inch ROG Strix XG129C as a compact sidekick monitor

ASUS unveiled the 12.3-inch touchscreen ROG Strix XG129C, designed as a sidekick display to accompany a larger main monitor, and also announced a 34-inch RGB Tandem QD-OLED gaming monitor (XG34WCDMS).

LG Unveils 45-Inch UltraGear Evo OLED with Built-In 5K2K Upscaling

LG expands its UltraGear Evo OLED lineup with the 45-inch 45GX950B, a successor to the 45GX950A that features a 5,120×2,160 panel and 165 Hz (Dual Mode up to 330 Hz at 5,120×1,080). It includes a built-in processor that upscales any input to 5K2K and reaches up to 1,300 nits HDR (275 nits SDR); speakers are downgraded to 7 W. In Japan it lists at ¥329,800 (~$2,099) with a discount to about ¥259,800 (~$1,653) and shipments starting June 11; a May release in other markets seems unlikely.

Budget OLED Power: Why the $350 Alienware Monitor Delivers Big

A hands-on look at Alienware’s AW2726DM 27-inch 1440p QD‑OLED shows a compelling $350 package with rich contrast, a 240Hz refresh rate, a semi‑gloss finish, slim design, and a 3‑year burn‑in warranty. It isn’t the brightest OLED and lacks USB ports, but its value for gaming is strong, and HDR must be toggled per game due to Windows handling (not automatic). AOC’s discounted model nearby further underscores the price‑performance point.
