ASUS launched the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM gaming monitor last year in August. The monitor is now up for pre-orders in the UK and US.
UK Pre-Orders
UK retailer Scan has indicated that stock for the monitor is expected to arrive on March 19. The details regarding US pre-order shipping from Newegg are yet to be confirmed.
ROG Swift PG32UCDM Specifications:
ROG PG32UCDM features a stunning 31.5-inch OLED display with 4K resolution and a blazing-fast 240Hz refresh rate. It utilizes Samsung’s third-generation QD-OLED panel, delivering vibrant colors, deep blacks, and exceptional contrast. Its 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) ensures sharp and detailed visuals, while the 240Hz refresh rate guarantees buttery-smooth motion and eliminates image tearing, even in fast-paced games.
The HDR peak brightness of 1000 nits (3% APL) offers stunning HDR content with realistic highlights and shadows, while the 0.03ms GtG response time minimizes motion blur and ghosting for a truly responsive experience.
Performance and Connectivity
ASUS has prioritized longevity and performance with a unique cooling solution. The PG32UCDM employs a custom heatsink and a graphene back panel, eliminating the need for noisy fans. This innovative design not only reduces noise pollution but also helps prevent image retention and extends the lifespan of the OLED panel.
The monitor offers a comprehensive selection of connectivity options, including HDMI 2.1, DP 1.4 (with DSC), and USB-C ports (with DP Alt mode and power delivery). This versatility ensures compatibility with various devices, including PCs, consoles, and even laptops. It also features Smart KVM technology, allowing users to connect and control two external devices seamlessly. Furthermore, it offers a Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode, enabling simultaneous viewing of the display output from both connected devices.
Pricing and Conclusion
The PG32UCDM comes with a premium price tag of $1299 in the US and £1,348.99 in the UK, placing it among the most expensive options in the 32-inch OLED gaming monitor category. However, its advanced features, top-notch performance, and sleek design might be worth the investment for serious gamers.
