The PERFECT Gaming Monitor!? [ROG Swift PG32UCDM 4K 240Hz OLED Review] 

Is it free shipping on Amazon?

i didn’t get free shipping 😅 but i had one yesterday at least

😂

I think we'll see free listing/shipping of your chosen kidney to sell for it

he doesn';t even answer questions.

Some what 🤨

@@Planet-Animelmfao

Haha

It's new, it'll be that way for at least 6 more months probably. Once those 27' versions happen it'll be fine.

That monitor not sold out atleast not here

$2400 on eBay….

@@gaz6329 you can get an 85-in Samsung neo 4K mini LED TV for cheaper than this. I'm going to wait.

ya its still sold out, 2400 on Amazon. but even if ur paying msrp, with tax ur gonna be paying1500 which is way too much rn

Copium

naaaaah i had it it has terrible hdr

@@QwertzQwertz-hs5fn which one?

@@MrM-dl5zm samsung neo g8 4k

Had a few of these but i never coukd get past the scanlines issues. Once i noticed them i couldnt unsee them

you be waiting till end of 2025

@@jaye6450 A year and a half then. Not bad if you already have a decent monitor, and really prefer a 27 inch 4K OLED option. 163 ppi will be nice.

anything less than 32 inches is a waste for 4k

@@mint3 yup. only people who didn't research properly will buy a 27inch 4k

4K/UHD on 27 inch means you will need massive scaling in Windows. It is not really good for most people. 27" sweetspot is 1440p. 4K/UHD sweet spot is 32" for monitors that is. You will see little to no 27 inch monitors use a 4K panel outside of monitors made for design and work.

42С3 is glossy

Remove the stand, turn off all monitor leds, put on vesa monitor arm and you have pro-er look than LG

It's polished concrete from somewhere on Etsy (weighs a ton) and RU-vidr-spec Ikea Alex drawers.

AW3225QF here , not seeing any flickering with gsync.

@@hnguyen2120 really? Even when it’s really dark grey?

@@giulioparisa8794 yeah u had me worried so i tested on my own aw3225qf don't see it and im looking for it really hard

you pay more so americans can pay less,

Yeah the MSI costs $949 in the US and the ASUS costs $1,299 Meanwhile here in Norway the equivalent exchange is $1,700 for the MSI and $1,800 for the ASUS.

@@thomasandersr in the Uk where I live asus is 1350£ and msi 1300£. I don't understand why in Europe the prices are just to high man. Like with that money you could of buy a tv oled 4k, a good laptop or something else. It's just a f monitor + they don't have 2.1 dp.

Agree with you, they are so expensive they cost the price of some previous gen OLED 65" TV. My theory is it's more expensive over here because EU has a mandatory 2 years warranty on new product sold.The cheapest I can find here in Belgium (when available) is 1515€ (1631$). USA show prices without taxes, the highest average combined state and local sales tax rates is Louisiana with 9.86%. Which gives 1299$ + 9.86% = 1417$ Yes, that's in the most taxed states. It can go as low as 0 but that's an exception (only 4 states). Eyeballing it, the national average is around 6% or ~1 377$, so one could conclude that the ~254$ dollars difference left between me and the average US citizen, went... in a 2 years mandatory product warranty.

@@Oxygen.O2 true ma men + I'm not in a rush right now . I'm gonna wait a little longer to buy a 4k oled monitor or just go and buy the alienware which is much cheaper like 400£.

it will look clean with vesa mount arm

Why the hell did you buy a 1080P (2K) monitor?

@@Battleneter back then, it was my so call "4k entry level" cause i can't afford real one yet.

Deal breaker as in you wouldn’t get the LG oled?

AORUS FO32U2P is out... it's brighter but I sorta feel like the DP 2.1 on it really isn't needed. If it was one of those big ultrawides with a very high resolution then it's a different story.

32 inch is not that big tbh. 27 feels like ass now

I have the 27" PG27AQDM and that is my only nitpick with a otherwise perfect to me monitor.

I don't get that no one is mentioning this. You have an almost bezel less monitor, but ugly cables sticking out. Call me nuts but that is a reason for me not to buy this monitor.

Plenty of competition though, so I reckon we'll see deals soon. The MSI and Alienware alternatives are around 1K (I'd go with the MSI)

He won't tell you anything bad about the monitor. This is a promotional video.

​@@314LAwhat u mean prom0tional ? Asus paying him?

Would if I had time! Sure there's loads of stuff out there

I'm in a similar boat. I just pre-ordered the LG....but idk if I would prefer a QD-OLED option like this monitor... I currently have a glossy 27" WOLED, and so I don't know how a matte finished WOLED would look, nor do I know how a semi-glossy QD-OLED would look... I can still cancel my LG pre-order and purchase something else....but there are no possible ways to see either monitors in person where I'm located in the US...

@NippleSauce no I have the ASUS PG32UQX with like 1700 nits of brightness using mini leds...it's like a $3,000 monitor. Tech Chap did a review in it like 2years ago. I want to know if it is worth it or not going to this new PG32UCDM

@@Coldgauge2k10 Your monitor is easy on the eyes and has an excellent picture. Yes, it does not have a 240Hz frequency. Whether you need this is up to you to decide.

Lol what do you think? He is a reviewer, Asus sent it out to him for him to review.

thats too microscopic of a comparison tbh. a 2022 oled vs 2024 oled from LGs C class. the differences will be of course in brightness, image processing and you get 144hz with the C4 but i think as far as gaming goes the differences are not very palpable to make you go "uh i need to upgrade the C2 to C4".

@@th3orist Those minor improvements can add up to something significant pretty quickly.

@@giantpizzasunset2534 maybe if you add all minor improvements over four or five years but not from one year to the next. My pov

@@th3orist That's what i thought but I saw comparisons between the A90j and the C3. Surprisingly the LG, in many ways, surpassed sony's flagship model from two years ago. According to reviewers the C1 was nowhere near the A90j.

for HDR yes TVs will blow away the monitors, for SDR its a wash, but the guy was probably using a matte oled monitor which made him think it was trash vs TVs which makes sense as matte screens sap the life out of the picture.

I have this monitor. No it doesn't reflect like a mirror or TV. I have my living room behind me I can barely see reflections. It has something special I reckon. It's a good monitor but way too expensive.

Dp 1.4 obviously

In EU also NA

Me to in canada is not available so sad

LG: fucked up EOTF in HDR, lower brightness, lower color gamut, no burn in warranty, no usb-c at $400 more (compared to msi qd oled)

they are gray while you flash torch light at panel or sunlight while woleds have washed out colors no matter the condition kek.

Right 😂

What’s it called?

stand is garbage thats why monitor arm for these big monitors is more preferred solution

They are practically the same all use the same panel from Samsung

@@nighthawk4933 I figured but I wanted to make sure one didn't have blacker blacks/ whiter whites or one having a better overall picture/ colors or performance.

Probably review them at some point - I'm interested too.

@@Thetechchap Thanks, I'll be watching! Had a chat with Asus and confirmed that the cheaper M5606 has a slot to upgrade memory from 16gb to 32gb and the more expensive S5606 does not (odd). The cheaper S5606 has slightly more keyboard travel (odd again), slightly smaller bezels, and is slightly dimmer (500 nits vs 600 nits). And of course the chipsets are different, as is the port selection. Overall, though, they're very close.

Its personal preference. On 32 inch I have more immersion and screen estate. Some people say that 48 inch is too small for them. as current middle ground this Asus have 27 inch mode with 1880p internal resolution ;)

4K with 140ppi and upgraded sub pixel layout = text is tack sharp

Just hold on to your current monitor a little longer and you will have yourself an OLD monitor, far cheaper than buying one.

MSI doesn’t support firmware and isn’t calibrated as well as the this one. I personally have the UCDM and the hype is true. Incredible monitor. The gigabyte is interesting but who cares about DP 2.1 at the moment. No GPU can support it and even when they begin to we are going to be using DSC anyway. Not a big deal

It all depends what you want from monitor. I don't see a need for DP2.1 and I need something extra such as dolby support or ability to turn off all leds including power indicator. Panel is the same so its only matter of which extras you prefer.

@@904_nole2I have the mpg 321urx and it supports firmware update which I already did. Also I can assure you that my monitor is very well calibrated and the image is mind blowing. Absolutely perfect in my opinion. I wanted Asus I don t deny it but after I saw what msi is capable of I am very happy with the purchase!

Alienware is great Dolby out the box and brighter

@@NexGenTek no one cares about Dolby Vision, plus it’s curved. Which just looks awkward on a 32 inch IMO

Yes if you're not using ray tracing or path tracing, you'll have enough grunt for most titles at 4K 100+fps If you're ok with a larger display I'd recommend a 55" Samsung S90C over this, otherwise this is your best option (get the cheapest 4K OLED 240hz you can buy imo)

Not really! It’ll be great just don’t expect to take full capability

The UQX smokes it but the haloing on the UQX is rough. I had both. I would probably pick the OLED just because the haloing.

​@@LexLutha Yes that's what I thought. I have the UQX and it is unsurpassed in 99% of any content but the haloing in scenes with multiple small bright spots against a dark background as well as the reverse haloing in gray/foggy scenes means that immersion can be broken and the cheapest OLED could laugh in its face in certain specific scenarios. Still I am hesitant to go for the UCDM because I use my monitor (a lot) for office work as well as gaming plus I have an LG C1 as a second monitor which is absolutely fine as an OLED monitor if I want to play a game that would suffer from haloing on the UQX. I am still not convinced that the UCDM would be a good all-in-one option despite the 3 year burn-in warranty. The UQX is really sturdy and I am completely care-free displaying static content on it for hours on end, I would probably be paranoid with the UCDM. I have been using the UQX for thousands of hours of work and play and there is zero degradation in the picture, zero dead pixels, no lighbleed and excellent uniformity in a way that it makes it hard not to forgive the 1% failure in some very specific scenarios.
