ASUS ROG unveils next-generation RGB OLED display technology at CES 2026

ASUS Republic of Gamers has unveiled a new generation of OLED gaming display technology at CES 2026, introducing a refreshed lineup of high-end monitors built around RGB Stripe Pixel OLED panels and an upgraded BlackShield film. The announcement underscores ASUS ROG’s continued leadership in the global OLED monitor market, where it maintains the top position and remains a preferred brand among gamers worldwide.

At the core of the launch is RGB Stripe Pixel OLED technology, developed to address common OLED limitations such as colour fringing around text and fine visual elements. By refining pixel structure and subpixel layout, the new panels are designed to deliver sharper imagery and clearer text. ASUS ROG positions this advancement as a benefit not only for gaming but also for productivity and creative workflows, where clarity and colour accuracy are increasingly critical.

Complementing the new pixel technology is the introduction of BlackShield film across the latest OLED models. This additional panel layer increases perceived black levels by up to 40 percent, particularly in brighter environments, while also enhancing durability. ASUS ROG states that the film improves panel hardness by up to 2.5 times compared with previous QD-OLED displays, reducing the risk of scratches during regular use and cleaning.

RGB QD-OLED monitors focus on ultrawide performance and contrast

Among the first products to feature RGB Stripe Pixel OLED technology are the ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDN and the ROG Strix OLED XG34WCDMS, both built around 34-inch ultrawide QD-OLED panels. The PG34WCDN is positioned as the world’s first RGB OLED gaming monitor and features a 1800R curved WQHD resolution of 3440 by 1440, paired with a 360Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time.

The PG34WCDN incorporates the new BlackShield film, which enhances black depth and contrast while increasing scratch resistance. It supports VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black, covers 99 percent of the DCI-P3 colour gamut, and delivers true 10-bit colour with a Delta E value below 2. Connectivity options include DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20 with full 80Gbps bandwidth, USB-C with 90W power delivery, and HDMI 2.1, positioning the monitor for high-end gaming PCs and next-generation consoles.

The ROG Strix OLED XG34WCDMS offers a similar ultrawide experience with a slightly different performance profile. It features a 280Hz refresh rate and the same 0.03ms response time, alongside RGB Stripe Pixel OLED technology and BlackShield film. ASUS ROG highlights its compact stand design, which has a minimal footprint intended to free up desk space for other peripherals. Connectivity includes DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 15W power delivery.

Tandem RGB OLED and next-generation 4K QD-OLED expand the lineup

Beyond ultrawide displays, ASUS ROG is extending its new OLED technology to the 27-inch ROG Swift OLED PG27UCWM, which uses a Tandem RGB OLED panel. This approach removes the white subpixel found in standard WOLED panels and relies on pure RGB pixels, increasing colour volume by up to 27 percent, particularly at higher brightness levels. The result is richer and more vibrant colour reproduction while retaining the fast response times expected from OLED panels.

The PG27UCWM is designed for flexibility, featuring a Dual Mode that allows users to switch between 4K at 240Hz and full HD at 480Hz. With a 0.03ms response time, the monitor targets both competitive gamers and users seeking high-resolution visual fidelity. It supports Dolby Vision, offers 99 percent DCI-P3 coverage, true 10-bit colour, and Delta E values below 2. Connectivity includes DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20, USB-C with 90W power delivery, and HDMI 2.1, housed in a premium black finish with a distinctive transparent rear panel.

ASUS ROG has also refreshed its 32-inch 4K QD-OLED offering with the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM Gen 3. The updated model retains a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time while adding BlackShield film to improve contrast and durability. Perceived black levels are increased by up to 40 percent, and panel hardness is enhanced for greater resilience. The display supports Dolby Vision and DisplayHDR 500 True Black, and includes DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20, USB-C with 90W power delivery, and HDMI 2.1.

Across the wider OLED lineup, ASUS ROG is standardising features such as OLED Care Pro with a Neo Proximity Sensor, which automatically dims the display when the user steps away to help reduce burn-in. Additional tools include DisplayWidget Center for monitor management and a suite of ROG Gaming AI features such as AI Visual presets, Dynamic Shadow Boost, and Dynamic Crosshair to enhance on-screen visibility during gameplay.
