Asus ROG Swift PG32UQ flagship monitor review

Asus is renowned for monitors that incorporate a range of features suitable for work and play. The premium category, which includes 32-inch Ultra HD products, offers an option like the PG32UQX. It has a slight backlighting due to the presence of small LEDs. Despite the rather high price, the monitor still has in its arsenal of features that can impress.

Monitor Specifications

The ROG Swift PG32UQ has an IPS panel. The response time for a picture that moves is 1 ms. The advantage of new items is that it is able to function at up to 155 Hz. In addition, there is a certification Nvidia, saying that there is compatibility with G-Sync (range 48-155 Hz).

A feature called Asus ELMB Sync is present. The device is capable of providing reduced strobe part strobe blur when combined with Adaptive-Sync. Such a feature provides better resolution in terms of movement. However, there are nuances with light output. It is reduced by almost 30%.

The PG32UQ is a top-of-the-range 32″ screen that excels in terms of brightness. It boasts an incredible HDR contrast ratio of over 9000:1. The colour gamut is impressive and can be measured according to the Rec.2020 standard. Generally accepted DCI-P3 is not even relevant here. Also the sRGB mode is present.

The monitor is characterised by a rugged chassis, a feature set that will appeal to gamers. You can fully immerse yourself in the customized atmosphere. Adaptive levels provide an immersive experience, including the ability to know exactly where to aim and shoot when it comes to shooters.

Assembly and Accessories

The PG32UQ is fitted with bright LEDs that make up the company logo. This is located on the rear panel. Also included are a power supply, HDMI, DisplayPort and USB cables. In addition, there is a set of screws. With their help, you can fix the device in a comfortable place. A ROG sticker set is a nice bonus feature.

More Cool Features

The PG32UQ appears simple from the front. The front panel is only 8mm wide. A bezel, which is 20mm wide, is also present. A neat logo can be seen on the bottom, as well as a miniature power LED on the monitor. It should also be noted the presence of an anti-reflective layer, which eliminates unpleasant reflections. Thanks to it, there is no graininess.

The rear panel includes a large ROG logo. It has hundreds of backlighting options that vary in colour and effect. You can select your favourites via the Aura RGB options screen.

The input panel isn’t conspicuous because it’s tucked away. There are two HDMI 2.1, one DisplayPort 1.4 with Display Stream Compression (DSC), USB 3.0 (one uplink, two downlink) and a 3.5mm audio jack. There are also internal 5V speakers each. These allow you to adjust the volume to the desired level without any distortion.
