Review on 32" Monitor ASUS ROG Swift PG329Q, 2560x1440, 175Hz, IPS, black by Anglari Georgiev ᠌
I like it, thank you for the quality product.
If you choose a monitor in this segment, I'm sure you have already noticed that the vast majority of similar models are built on VA matrices. The two eternal problems of VA are a very sad response time and disgusting viewing angles. And if, in terms of response time, single models like the Odyssey G7 are at least somehow approaching IPS, then there is no progress with viewing angles and is not expected. By the way, all VA models are made curved precisely to solve the problem with viewing angles. Models on IPS (including this one) come without a bend, because. here with this full order. Specifically, the PG329Q has an actual measured response time of 5ms on average at 165Hz, is almost the same in 60Hz mode, and is relatively even across the entire spectrum of tones. On VA, for comparison, a typical indicator is in the 15ms region. But the BIG ass on the VA is the response in dark colors, which on most models easily reaches 25-30ms, and this is not only very noticeable, it really infuriates. It gets even worse if, with FreeSync enabled, the frame rate (and with it the screen refresh rate) goes into the region of 60. Then the response time can be 25 on average and all 40-50ms in dark colors. It is observed both in games when moving, and in the browser when scrolling pages. Who wants to see what it looks like - google the video for va black smearing. At the same time, all similar models on VA are positioned as GAME! And in most reviews they don’t write about the problem at all, you have to look with graphs of the actually measured response time on different shades (there are few such detailed reviews, because special equipment is required for measurement). I couldn’t look at it anymore, so after a few months of use I moved from a DELL S3220DGF similar in characteristics (on a VA matrix) to this particular Asus with IPS.
- VERY wide color gamut (98% DCI-P3, 160% sRGB) with KSF LED backlight ELMB mode (black frame insertion) that also works with FreeSync enabled 10-bit matrix, flicker-free backlight (Flicker free) In the dark, a completely black background is quite uniform, without obvious jambs There is no screen bending, as on all similar models with a VA matrix Sufficiently strict frameless design (if you do not look at the back panel) Convenient menu control via joystick And the most important plus is the IPS matrix! (why this is important - more below)
- DisplayPort version 1.2, which does not allow setting 10 bits of color at maximum hertz. Given the cost and such a chic matrix, this is a completely incomprehensible decision by the manufacturer. If you lower it to 120Hz, then it becomes possible to select 10 bits. No G-sync module. Again, for the money - should be, in my opinion Massive stand, almost as wide as the monitor itself. I have a fairly large rug, now it is overlapping on the right leg . . The colors out of the box are vyryglazny, be sure to calibrate in user mode if possible. You can forget about any work with color at full color gamut without calibration. But the sRGB mode is already calibrated from the factory (even a piece of paper is included in the kit on this topic). The contrast after calibration was 865:1, which is quite typical for IPS, no revelations here.
