Asus ROG showcase 48 and 42-inch OLED gaming monitors

Asus ROG invited me down to the Silverstone Circuit last week to check out its upcoming OLED gaming monitors, the ROG Swift OLED PG48UQ and PG42UQ. After spending some time playing games on the displays in a typical gaming desk scenario and seriously cool Vesaro racing sim setup, I’m really excited to see them hit the market and get into the hands of gamers.

This is made possible by the included DisplayPort 1.4 port, which is complemented by a suite of two HDMI 2.1 and a further two HDMI 2.0 inputs.

As someone who switches between a 55-inch LG CX OLED TV and a 27-inch LCD gaming monitor, I find myself most drawn to the 42-inch PG42UQ. While I
