ASUSROG Swift 32” 4K OLED Gaming Monitor (PG32UCDM) - UHD (3840 x 2160), QD-OLED, 240Hz, 0.03ms, G-SYNC Compatible, Custom Heatsink, Graphene Film, 99% DCI-P3, True 10-bit, 90W USB-C

Pros: Unreal deep inky blacksAmazing color gamutHigh refresh rate for gamingHdr brightness is great @ 1000 nits peakGreat for media consumption like movies and TV showsPerfect resolution for gaming in 2025Cons: lack of built in speakersI understand this can be an expensive monitor to game with but honestly if you're on deciding to purchase one, just go for it. I would argue this monitor has been on of the few things to elevate my gaming experience. Sure you can buy a cheaper ips monitor that will get the job done but the difference is night and day with an OLED panel. Don't let the fear of burn in discourage you that was more of an issue about 5 years ago. I have owned this monitor for a couple of months now and it stills amazes me every time I use it.

Amazing Display & Performance!The ASUS ROG Swift 39” Ultrawide 800R Curved OLED Gaming Monitor (PG39WCDM) is simply incredible! The OLED panel delivers stunning colors, deep blacks, and super-fast 240Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth gaming. The 800R curve enhances immersion, making every game feel more intense. Setup was easy, and the build quality is top-notch. A must-have for gamers and creators alike! Highly recommended.

This monitor is absolutely gorgeous with its OLED display and vibrant colors. The 144Hz refresh rate makes gaming super smooth, and the build quality is excellent. It was a bit too big for my setup as a dedicated PC gaming monitor, so I ended up moving on, but I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who mixes PC and console gaming or wants a stunning, versatile screen.

So far so good. But honestly not worth it for the $1200+tAX upgrade price tag. I’m coming from the m32u 4k 144hz IPS and there’s definitely a difference but is it really worth the price? IMO no.. also this monitor doesn’t have built in speakers which sucks for console gaming. The quality and visuals look amazing and there’s obviously a difference compared to IPS monitors while gaming but I just can’t justify the price.. I wouldn’t pay more than $800 to upgrade. Keep in mind this was originally $999 but the tariffs drove the price up. Excellent brightness, going from 144hz to 240hz definitely notice improvements but nothing major. You still need at least a 4090+ to game in 4k 240hz Weight:It feels very light compared to my m32u and the m32u is 1 pound less. Strange Build quality:a lot of built in functions which is cool. Makes it actually worth using unlike any other monitor I’ve owned. Sound quality:No built in speakers Value for money:wait for $800 or less

ASUS PG27AQDM is a 26.5” OLED gaming monitor that really stands out. OLED panel delivers deep blacks.0.03ms response time and 240Hz refresh rateת Freesynch works great with Radeon 9070 XT.Use the DP 1.4, the DP cable comes in the package and is decent.Monitor comes with MCM105 firmware. You should up date the firmware (on Asus site). Bear in mind, that there could be issues after updating the firmware. (I have updated to MCM110).After the firmware update, you may notice flickering on the screen when it enters sleep mode. To resolve the issue, please disconnect the DisplayPort (DP) cable, then reconnect it and power the monitor back on. Next, go to the monitor's on-screen menu, navigate to Settings, and perform a factory reset. This should eliminate the problem.Overall, it's an excellent monitor. I connected it to a Radeon 9070XT, and it works perfectly at 1440p @240Hz.

-Quality Control-I bought three of this exact monitor. I got three monitors with three very different looking colors, particularly with three very different depths of black. I expected the colors to be inaccurate- just about every review brings that up, but I (incorrectly) assumed three of the same monitor would be inaccurate in exactly the same way. I think the problem is each has a slightly different backlight intensity, and this cannot be fixed by any brightness/contrast/gamma settings. They don't look the same and they will never be identical. This makes me sad. I'm taking one star off for this- yeah 3 monitors is a small sample size, but, well, they sure aren't cherry-picking the production line.Update: Of the three of these monitors I purchased, two of them had dead pixels. I have gone through the lengthy process of exchanging both (amazon's service was lovely, newegg on the other hand was quite slow in comparison, and newegg makes you send the product back before they ship you the replacement, whereas amazon just shipped me a new monitor instantly and told me to send the old one back by the end of the month) and have finally gotten three functioning monitors. However... I'm just not very satisfied with the quality of these monitors. I never knew what "bad colors" before buying these monitors, and I thought that it was only important to people who work in photography, or the snobby "has to be perfect" crowd. I figured, "bad colors!? I don't care about that". I was wrong. Everything just looks so washed out and pale, and there really is an obscene amount of lightbleed around the edges. Sometimes I see image retention artifacts on these monitors! If I weren't so lazy I would return these monitors and try out the BenQ model that supports 2D lightboost. My previous monitors lasted me 6 years, and I only upgraded because I wanted higher framerates and lightboost... but I don't see myself keeping these monitors for 6 years. Full disclosure, the room where I keep these monitors is rather cold (it's 12C right now) and the display is definitely adversely affected by the cold, things get a bit better when they warm up. Maybe all my complaints will be resolved in the summer when the weather is hot. My previous monitors had no issues unless the temperature fell below 0C.-Connectivity-My computer only has two DVI inputs, one displayport, and one hdmi port. This monitor comes with a rather short DVI cable. In my attempts to hook up the third monitor with stuff I had laying around the house, I discovered the following: The HDMI port will not carry signals higher than 60Hz. I tried using a DVI to HDMI adapter, but since my GPU doesn't accept higher than 60Hz over HDMI, I used HDMI to displayport. This did not allow me to go higher than 60Hz. The fault could have either been the HDMI cable itself, or one of the adapters I used. I ended up having to buy a displayport cable and it carries up to 144Hz perfectly fine. tl;dr: You should not buy this monitor unless you have DVI or displayport on your PC. The DVI cable it comes with is on the shorter side.-Screen-I cannot, and therefore will not, talk about screen quality because I am not knowledgeable enough. I will say that there is a little bit of motion-ghosting, but I have never seen a monitor that doesn't have a little ghosting. http://www.testufo.com/#test=ghosting-High refresh rate 120Hz/144Hz-I love it. It's gorgeous, it's significantly better than 60Hz, and very much worth buying into. Use this to watch videos in 144FPS- it fixes video stuttering (how on earth the general population still thinks 24fps is acceptable for video is beyond my comprehension) but will introduce some other artifacts. It's a trade off... personally I prefer perfect visual fluidity with an artifact here and there vs every single second looking like garbage because 24FPS. http://www.svp-team.com/wiki/Main_PageUpdate: SVP works better at 60Hz than at 120Hz or higher. Consistent framerates are much more important than high framerates- if you can't get a stable 120FPS, the frequent changing of the framerate will be a lot more annoying than a consistent 60FPS. SVP works by generating new frames by averaging two existing frames. The generated frame is then inserted between the two existing frames. SVP's engine does this very well for 60Hz/FPS displays where the source video is 24FPS, however its success is limited at 120FPS. Some scenes look amazing. Others don't. While the entire video is technically 120FPS, the extra generated frames required to get to 120FPS may not be different enough (or accurate enough) to translate into worthwhile data, and the result is a perceived inconsistent framerate. If your source video was captured in 60FPS, however, I suspect SVP will succeed in rendering it at 120FPS.-LightBoost-This is a godsend. It only supports 100Hz-120Hz, but 120Hz with lightboost is vastly superior to 144Hz without. Use google chrome to view this page, once without lightboost, once with http://www.testufo.com/#test=eyetracking (firefox can't maintain 120fps and IE doesn't seem to support 120fps). It's a bit hard to explain, but I'll try: This monitor has a pixel response time of 2ms (the advertised 1ms is false- never trust manufacturer specs, look for monitor benchmarks). Pixel response is how long it takes for a pixel to receive a command and change colors. 2ms is incredibly fast, but it still is not an instantaneous change. When an object is moving on your screen very fast, the pixels can only update no faster than once every 2ms and what ends up happening is motion blur; an object appears blurry because the pixels it was just on haven't fully changed to reflect it is no longer there, and the pixels it is on haven't fully changed to reflect that it IS there. Enter LightBoost: LightBoost turns off the backlight in between screen refreshes, and the end result is that the backlight is only on AFTER the pixels have fully changed. Without the backlight on, there is no light to carry information to your eyes. So in effect, LightBoost works by not transmitting incomplete data. The only light that ever enters your eyes contains complete images, you don't see the 2ms of pixel transitioning from one color to another. The end result is mind blowing*, and I am SO HAPPY that I accidentally bought a monitor that happens to support this LightBoost feature- if you're thinking of buying a 120Hz-144Hz monitor, either get this one or another one that you can verify supports LightBoost! LightBoost is not a feature that you can just turn on, it has to be enabled by third party tools and might only work for nvidia cards, I'm not sure... I just know that it's used to help nvidia 3Dvision look better in some way, so using it for regular 2D isn't strictly a supported feature- but the 3D restriction is completely arbitrary. about it, and download the tool for unlocking 2D LightBoost here**: http://www.blurbusters.com/zero-motion-blur/lightboost/*I haven't used a CRT in years, OK!?**I suppose I should put up a warning here: if you have epilepsy, know that this feature is blinking the monitor backlight, REALLY, REALLY FAST. This also reportedly causes eyestrain and other discomforts for certain people. I get eyestrain looking at a normal monitor, and I find that gunnar optiks glasses really help- maybe they'll work for you if you find LightBoost causing discomfort.-Stand-It's good I guess, though I don't really know why they have the base swivel limited when it could have easily been designed to pivot 360 degrees- perhaps so the cables aren't being tugged on, but I'd rather have that than have to worry about centering a disc I can't see, but I never move my monitors or change orientation so it doesn't really bother me. The adjustable height is nice.-Speakers-This is a monitor. There is no monitor in the history of the universe that is paired with good speakers. I can't imagine why anyone would choose to use them, but they're there should you need them. If you don't own speakers, they're better than no sound at all. I saw some reviews complaining that the speakers on this are poor. No, the only thing poor here is your IQ. That's like complaining about the poor performance of an integrated GPU or audio card.
