Price: PKR 188,000
Warranty: 2 years local, burn-in covered
Availability: In stock now at RB Tech & Games
QD-OLED has spent the last couple of years sitting just out of reach for most gamers in Pakistan. That is changing. The ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMES has landed at RB Tech & Games, bringing Samsung’s third-generation QD-OLED panel to the 27-inch 1440p 240Hz sweet spot, the resolution and refresh combination most mid-to-high-end GPUs can actually feed properly.

Why the burn-in warranty is the headline
Every OLED conversation in Pakistan ends at the same place: what happens if it burns in? That is why the 2-year local warranty covering burn-in matters more than any spec on the sheet. Local means you are not shipping a 27-inch panel overseas and waiting three months, and burn-in coverage means the one failure mode people actually worry about is the one that is covered.
ASUS has stacked plenty of protection into the panel itself. The standout is the Neo Proximity Sensor, part of the OLED Care Pro suite: it detects when you have stepped away and transitions the screen to pure black, with pixels genuinely off rather than dimmed, then restores your content the moment you sit back down. Alongside it sit pixel cleaning cycles, screen move, taskbar detection, logo brightness adjustment, global and outer dimming control, and a custom heatsink to keep panel temperatures down.
Who it is for
- Competitive FPS players: ELMB cuts ghosting, and OLED Anti-Flicker keeps brightness steady when frame rates swing without adding input lag. You can also play in a simulated 24.5-inch window at full 240Hz, or drop to 4:3.
- Single-player and AAA: Per-pixel lighting means genuinely black blacks. Night scenes, space, dungeons and rain-slick streets all look correct rather than washed out.
- Streamers and creators: A tripod socket is built into the top of the monitor, and a factory Delta E under 2 means photo and video work at web-delivery level will hold up.
- Everyone else: Uniform Brightness stops the screen dimming when you open a large white window, and DisplayWidget Center lets you change every setting with a mouse instead of the OSD joystick.
At Rs. 188,000 this is aimed at someone building or upgrading a serious 1440p rig. It is not the right buy at 1080p on a mid-range card, or for a bright, sun-facing room. But for anyone who has been waiting for QD-OLED to become sensible in Pakistan, this is the model that does it.
