  • 500Hz maximum refresh rate

What the QD-OLED panel changes

Quantum-dot OLED puts a QD colour converter in front of blue emitters instead of using a white subpixel, and the result shows up as saturation that holds at high brightness. ASUS quotes 99% DCI-P3 and 145% sRGB here, alongside DisplayHDR 500 True Black rather than the 400 tier. In practice that means brighter specular highlights in HDR games without the black floor lifting. Against its WOLED sibling the PG27AQDP, this one trades a lower peak white figure for stronger colour volume and a higher HDR certification, and adds 20Hz of refresh headroom.

Who should actually buy 500Hz

Be honest about your GPU. Sustaining 500fps at 1440p happens in older competitive titles at low settings, not in current single-player games, so most buyers will spend most of their time between 120 and 250fps. The panel is still worth it at those rates because VESA AdaptiveSync certification and G-SYNC Compatible support keep motion clean across the whole range. A Neo Proximity Sensor dims the screen when you step away, which is a burn-in countermeasure rather than a convenience feature. If your desk time is mostly static productivity windows, an IPS panel will age better.

Questions

Before you buy

What do I need to run it at its full refresh rate?
To reach 500Hz at 2560 x 1440 you need a graphics card able to output that mode, a cable that supports it, and the refresh rate selected in Windows display settings - monitors often default to 60Hz out of the box. The ports on this panel are listed under Specifications above.
What sort of panel is it?
It is QD-OLED with a 0.03ms GtG response time. Panel type is the main thing that decides how a monitor looks off-centre and how it handles colour and contrast, so it is worth weighing against refresh rate rather than choosing on the headline number alone.
Can I wall-mount it or put it on an arm?
This is a 26.5 inch panel. Whether it takes a VESA mount, and at which spacing, is listed under Specifications - if a VESA size is shown there, any arm or bracket rated for that pattern and the monitor’s weight will fit. If you are not sure, send us the model of your arm and we will check.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
