The new generation of OLED gaming monitors includes the Asus ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM, which is a 32-inch gaming monitor that boasts 4K resolution and a refresh rate of 240Hz. It offers one of the best pictures you will find on any gaming monitor today and it is loaded with features. Whether you are a creator, or gamer, you can enjoy a stellar experience.
Design
If you are looking for a cutting edge gaming monitor, the Asus ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM will fit the bill. It is one of the few 32-inch 4K OLED displays available in the market. It is bold and big, which shows that it has been designed to catch your attention. The large screen allows it to do so and it still manages to maintain its pixel density, which means everything appears to be very crisp.
The latest generation of Samsung’s QD-OLED panel has been used and this helps it deliver a spectacular viewing experience. The brightness and vividness of the screen is second to none, as is the color rendition. It is a great choice for HDR content because of the dynamic range it can offer, something LCD monitors cannot compare with.
But, OLED monitors offer typical brightness where SDR content is concerned and this is a big shortcoming that you will find in this gaming monitor as well. Nonetheless, it is part of the first generation of 4K OLEDs that offer 240Hz refresh rates.
Features
There is an array of performance-enhancing features that you will find in the Asus ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM. It has an incredibly sturdy stand that boasts an all-metal design and allows you to adjust the height by about four inches. There are also pivot and tilt adjustments available and there is a down-firing red OLED that will project a logo on your desk. You can also attach camera accessories into the back and there is a wealth of connectivity offered.
There are two HDMI 2.1 ports on the underside of the monitor and one DisplayPort 1.4 that offers Display Stream Compression support. There is a USB Type-C port that functions as a fourth video input, or a high-speed USB port. There is also a full USB hub, which includes a Type-B port for connecting to your PC and three USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports. An optical audio out port and a headphone jack are also available.
OSD and software
The on-screen display of the Asus ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM can be used for configuration purposes, or you can use the Asus DisplayWidgetCenter software. The features are similar, but there are more options offered by the OSD and it is also easy to navigate. Every system has been divided into sections for picture presets, gaming features, quality settings and more. The gaming menu is simple, but there are lots of details, such as the various modes for you to choose from. You can also set timers and also make adjustments to picture settings.
The Verdict
In terms of performance, the Asus ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM proves to be a fantastic gaming monitor, as it eliminates the shortcomings of many earlier OLED monitors.
