The monitor, like all the QD-OLED monitors, has a truly awe-inspiring picture, from inky blacks to extremely bright whites, and truly rich colors – so rich I had to turn the saturation down. Unlike its main competitor, Alienware (Dell), it has a built-in KVM switch and the usual passel of gamer-centric features. (Though most of those are only really useful for first person shooter and Battle Royale games). It provides a full set of cables in their own pouch: A Displayport cable, an HDMI cable, and two USB cables. It has built in safety measures to prevent the evergreen OLED problem, burn-in. It also comes with software that can replicate most of its hardware menu items, but easier and quicker. It even has Picture-in-Picture, so those using this behemoth for work can monitor work and home computers simultaneously. It’s a gorgeous piece of hardware and unlike some previous reviewers mine came and worked perfectly, so maybe ASUS got their stuff together.
But there are downsides. Some are big ones:
— The KVM switch is awkward to use to say the least. You have to press a button, select using the tiny monitor joystick, and then it switches. And it used to be worse – you had to switch keyboard, mouse, and video source *separately.* That’s been fixed with firmware, thank goodness.
— HDR (High Dynamic Range) can be very problematic with the monitor, as using it as an HDR monitor removes almost all ability to control the picture. There are far better HDR monitors out there.
— Some overly adolescent features (such as a bottom-facing projector; they even provide a set of lenses for it, including blanks and of course the ROG logo).
— Only one Displayport input. The others are two HDMI ports, a USB-B port, three USB-A ports and a Thunderbolt/USB-C port, either for using the monitor as a hub or for KVM.
— Documentation, including the official manual, is *abysmal.* That’s not just an ASUS problem, that’s an industry problem. But expect zero help in, for example, setting up the downward projector – it isn’t mentioned in the manual at all. Nor are explanations for a lot of the built in menu options. I had to use Reddit to get most of my info.
— Giant power brick. It’s 600W and almost as big as my computer’s power supply!
— Availability is also abysmal. This is an *extremely* popular monitor and expect the price to keep going up (July 2024), because it is in such hot demand. Shades of the Great Graphics Card Shortage of 2020-2023.
In summary: A great monitor that falls short of being the ultimate.

The ASUS ROG Swift PG32UCDP is a game-changer for serious gamers and content creators. The 32” 4K WOLED panel delivers stunning visuals with deep blacks, vibrant colors (99% DCI-P3, True 10-bit), and an ultra-fast 0.03ms response time. Its Dual Mode is a standout feature, letting you switch between 4K at 240Hz and FHD at 480Hz for ultimate flexibility. The G-SYNC compatibility ensures smooth gameplay with no tearing, while the custom heatsink helps prevent OLED burn-in. Plus, the USB-C 90W charging makes it great for multi-device setups. If you want top-tier image quality, speed, and innovation, this monitor is a must-have!

This monitor is leaps and bounds ahead of the 4k 144hz IPS monitor I was using before. You get unreal motion clarity with 240hz, incredible detail with 4k, and vibrant colors with OLED. Even on games that don’t use the full 240hz, you will still get incredible color and detail that justifies your purchase. I’m not kidding when I say that even the boot logo looked good on this monitor.
The included software is quite intuitive and gives a variety of color profiles. I recommend cinematic, especially on AAA games, with racing as a fallback on games that look off.
The one thing I don’t like is the stand. The tripod design takes up more space than it needs to, forcing me to get a third-party stand for my current desk. If your current monitor sits on a lifted portion of your desk, you will likely need a third-party stand or mount. If you just have a flat desk, this probably won’t be an issue.
It is a bit pricy, but it is an easy recommendation if you have the expendable income.

Amazing monitor, so glad I bought this to pair it with my ASUS rog strix 4090oc and my ryzen 7 7800x3d cpu. The colours of this monitor look amazing and playing my games in 4K, couldn’t be happier with my purchase

Grabé todo desde encendí el PC, y puede ver que se parpadea desde 2:15, flickering demasiado, lo que yo he intentado de solucionar:
1.actualizar al firmeware a 106 ( la version más actualizada a la fecha que subí este video)
2, apagar HEC en OSD
3, apagar VRR
4, cambia a cable que sea de DP o HDMI
5, deja solamente un monitor ( porque tengo otro OLED que esta arrbia G9)
despues de investigar no soy único que tenga la situación, busco todas las formas para arreglarlo , y también en Forum de ROG, pero no.
cuando se funciona , literalmente es un monitor excelente, pero no se, tengo otro oled de G9 , y nunca me da este problema, no se si me toca mala suerte o trae defecto de fábrica

Very good WOLED screen. Ended up using the 480hz mode more than I thought I would. Buy this model if you play a lot of competitive games which benefits from high framerates or else buy the QD-OLED model for the Dolby-Vision support.
Make sure you have powerful hardware to fully utilize the capabilities of this display or else consider something else.

Using a glossy screen makes computing enjoyable again. The vibrant colors and sharp details of the user interface truly pop, making everything from daily tasks to gaming feel more immersive. Gaming on this monitor is an exceptional experience—it’s as if you’re stepping inside the game world. The level of clarity and vividness it offers is truly a game-changer.
In my attached video review, I discuss how matte screens diffuse light across the surface, which I believe causes more eye fatigue compared to the crisp clarity of a glossy screen. While matte screens create a hazy effect, glossy screens may reflect light sources, but the reflections are only noticeable when directly aligned with the light. Most of the time, the reflections fade into the background when you’re focused on the screen.
The glossy finish provides such exceptional clarity that it easily outweighs any minor inconvenience from reflections. Of course, this is just my personal experience—I’m not an eye doctor or expert—but I think the benefits are undeniable.
This monitor is an excellent choice, though it’s worth noting that exciting new technologies are on the horizon. Innovations like Nvidia Pulsar and tandem OLED displays (as seen on the iPad Pro) are expected in the next few years. Alternatively, Mini-LED monitors with a glossy finish will be arriving sooner, offering similar clarity with less risk of burn-in compared to OLED.
Correction from my video: I mentioned that it’s best to cap your frame rate to a factor of the monitor’s refresh rate (e.g., 60, 80, or 120). However, this isn’t necessary with FreeSync Premium Pro, which this monitor supports! Unlike regular V-Sync, which can cause input lag and stuttering when frame rates drop below the monitor’s refresh rate, FreeSync Premium Pro is an advanced type of adaptive sync that dynamically adjusts the monitor’s refresh rate to match the GPU’s frame rate in real time, with added support for HDR content. In other words, just let your GPU run without a cap, and the monitor handles the smooth playback automatically.
Lastly, in my video review, I mentioned that the little ROG logo on the lower bezel couldn’t be turned off. I later discovered that this can be disabled via the ‘POWER INDICATOR’ setting—problem solved!
Overall, the 32UCDM is a fantastic monitor that’s hard to beat for both work and play. I know the price tag is high but believe me, it will not matter when you experience this monitor. The money spent won’t matter to you. Highly recommended! Good luck, and enjoy the immersive experience.
___ Update____
This monitor continues to impress me—it’s the best I’ve ever owned! Since my initial review, I’ve discovered even more reasons to love it. Thanks to its higher pixel density (140 PPI), I’ve realized that I don’t need to game at 4K native resolution. Playing games at 1440p on this QD 4K panel offers a comparable experience to gaming on a non-QD 4K display, freeing up significant GPU power.
This extra performance headroom allows me to crank up in-game settings and focus on enhancing the overall visual quality without needing to push for a higher resolution. With my 7900 GRE, I am now able to game at 1440p with 60 FPS on the most graphically demanding titles with Ray Tracing various settings Enabled!
Additionally, playing at 1440p instead of 4k also lets me use higher texture settings, as the reduced resolution demand saves processing power. This results in stunning visual fidelity without requiring the brute force of running games at native 4K resolution.
This monitor is saving me from the expense of buying a top-tier GPU. Instead, I’m planning to invest in a GPU optimized for the best 1440p settings and Ray Tracing capable hardware rather than overpaying for one that pushes 4K at near-maximum settings.
I’m absolutely in love with this monitor, and it has reshaped the way I think about gaming and display technology. Highly recommended!

I bought this after I tried the LG W-OLED because I couldn’t handle the buzzing from the LG’s fan. This model is fanless and makes no noise.
The monitor itself looks really good and I have no issues with the features.
If I had to change anything I think I would go with a stand more similar to what LG has: I don’t like this 3 legged stand design. I also don’t really care for the chin on the Asus monitor, I think LG’s design was much cleaner.
The LG stand also went a bit higher up, but overall the Asus feels and looks more premium.
