However, the former has now landed on JD.com in China at comparatively attractive pricing. Sandwiched between the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG and XG27ACDNG (curr. $729 on Amazon) in terms of refresh rate, the XG27ACDMS complements its 280 Hz refresh rate with a 1440p native resolution and 0.03 ms GtG response times across a 27-inch QD-OLED panel. Also, the mid-sized panel delivers 250 nits full panel brightness of 1,000 nits in HDR mode across 3% of its panel area (3% APL).
Currently, the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG and XG27ACDNG can be picked up for as low as CNY 3,499 (~$488) and CNY 5,999 (~$836) in China, respectively. By contrast, the ROG Swift OLED XG27ACDMS has debuted for CNY 3,999 (~$557) with early discounts to circa CNY 3,400 (~$474) in some regions.
Ultimately, we doubt that Asus will charge quite as little for the XG27ACDMS outside China; for instance, the XG27AQDMG carries a $699 MSRP in the US. With that being said, the XG27ACDMS’ launch pricing indicates that Asus intends to price the monitor aggressively in other markets. Unfortunately, it still remains unclear when the company’s first 280 Hz QD-OLED will arrive in Europe, North America and beyond at this stage.
