Exciting developments in display technology over the past few years have led to a golden age of gaming monitors. Today’s gamers can experience digital worlds at ultra-high resolutions, in high dynamic range (HDR) and wide color gamuts, at blazing-fast refresh rates, and with the enviable image quality and smoothness provided by variable refresh rates. The ROG Swift PG43UQ brings all of these technologies together to deliver an enviably capable and immersive gaming experience.

VESA Display Stream Compression (DSC) support lets the PG43UQ display 4K content at 144Hz with full per-pixel color data, even at the 10-bit color depth often required for HDR content. NVIDIA G-SYNC variable refresh rate technology allows the 43” PG43UQ to synchronize its refresh rate with the output from compatible graphics cards for a clearer, smoother, and more responsive gaming experience. And VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification means the PG43UQ is ready to deliver true HDR gaming with deeper blacks, brighter whites, and richer colors than standard dynamic range monitors can produce.

The PG43UQ’s DSC support means that gamers no longer have to make even that minimal compromise when they crank the refresh rate of their 4K display up to 144Hz. DSC allows a video card to send high-refresh-rate, high-resolution display streams over a single cable without the need for chroma subsampling. VESA carefully developed DSC using a group of human observers to ensure that the compressed signal is indistinguishable from an uncompressed one, so even high-contrast material like text will remain crisp and clear at all times on the PG43UQ.

The PG43UQ’s dizzying 144Hz refresh rate displays a new frame more than twice as many times per second as older 60Hz monitors, giving gamers a competitive edge in multiplayer titles and a buttery-smooth experience in slower-paced single-player games. Even better, the display’s 1ms MPRT ensures that images are always clear, even in the most heated action sequences.

NVIDIA G-SYNC support means the PG43UQ can synchronize its refresh rate with the output from compatible graphics cards, even as frame rates naturally vary during gameplay. This technology eliminates the ugly screen tearing that used to plague gamers using fixed-refresh displays, and it does so without the compromises of Vsync. The result: impeccably smooth visuals without tearing or increased input lag.
