The Asus ROG Swift PG27AQN, a high-end monitor with a fast refresh rate, may experience connectivity issues due to its technical specifications. It offers three HDMI 2.0 inputs and a DisplayPort 1.4a, which may seem like a lot, but the HDMI inputs are limited to a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz (or 240Hz at 1080p) and cannot handle 1440p at 360Hz. Only the DisplayPort 1.4a port can handle 360Hz.

While it is disappointing that the monitor only has one input capable of handling 360Hz, this should not be a significant issue for those who intend to use only one high-end gaming PC.
The monitor also includes a USB-B upstream port that supports two USB-A downstream ports for connecting peripherals, which can be used with the Nvidia Reflex Analyzer. Additionally, there is a 3.5mm audio output, but the monitor lacks built-in speakers.
The cable management system is supplemented by a plastic cover that closes off access to the interface connectors. Both solutions are well-known and provide an adequate result when used together.
