Review on ASUS Swift Gaming Monitor PG32UQX: 4K, 144Hz, Anti-Glare, Webcam & Tilt Adjustment. by David Ivory

I received my pg32uqx over the weekend and after a few days of use I had a few observations. Given the number of defective devices, I think I was lucky because I didn't find any pixel or backlight issues. PQ: Very good image quality and the lighting is very bright. Blooming is definitely noticeable, especially in low light (if it's not against a bright background, it can be felt even against a moderately dim background). The bloom is most noticeable on in-game HUD elements (especially the permanent crosshairs) and starfields. Also you have A8H OLED. I think I prefer zero glow and less bright lighting over higher brightness and noticeable blur, but it will be some time before good OLED panels of this size become available (Warning: this monitor is probably better than OLED for bright rooms). One more note on pq. The screen tends to have more reflections than my previous LCD monitor, slight ringing when used in brightly lit rooms, but still better than OLED. VRR looks good, no complaints. The small OLED display is useless, but as an FPS counter it's actually pretty damn good. /exactly/answer. It would be really cool to see the option to display the time here as well. And Asus needs to please provide a firmware update to stop flashing the stupid ROG logo. The output is a 3.5mm output. I really wish this monitor had either speakers or at least an optical output. Going without built-in speakers and a single audio output in the form of a 3.5 mm jack seems very short-sighted to me. Means: the value is bad, once the equivalent of the 32-inch LG C1 becomes available the value will be terrible. for speakers, OLED price <= 50%, OLED panels are not a hindrance. Ignoring manufacturing costs and looking at the OLED competition, I would put a "decent value" price at around $2,000 and a "good value" price at around $1,500 to $1,750. However, if you're stuffed with cash, need a 32" 4K monitor, don't have the patience or ability to wait 2 years or so for good 32" OLED deals, and want an all-in-one 4k HDR monitor/carrier require . This monitor is superior to anything else on the market today. I highly recommend this monitor if you use it for gaming + 4k HDR media consumption for several hours a day. Using it as a work monitor is a bonus. I plan on keeping this monitor as I will be using it 2-3 hours a day for gaming, watching 4k HDR movies 4-5 hours a week and working 6-8 hours a day. but it's very expensive with many caveats so it's still hard to sell. If you are considering this monitor, you need to think very carefully about your use cases and be prepared to shell out a few hundred bucks more to bypass these monitors. Defects (monitor arm, speakers, cables). If this monitor doesn't meet MANY of the needs of your use case, you'd probably be better off waiting a year or two for smaller OLED offerings. If your only use case is gaming and you already have a decent/good monitor and aren't at least 7 figs rich then I don't recommend this monitor.
