Our Verdict
ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQN
ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM
Despite sharing similar names, the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM and the ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQN are different types of monitors. The PG27AQDM has an OLED panel that results in deeper blacks and less blooming, and it also has better motion handling at lower refresh rates. On the other hand, the PG27AQN has a higher 360Hz refresh rate, making it a better choice for competitive gaming. It also gets brighter, has better text clarity, and doesn't risk permanent burn-in like on the PG27AQDM.
