  • After a multi-year search, I have finally found the perfect monitor, and I am going to explain why. Until recently, packing these kind of specs into one monitor has been technically impossible, but the time has finally come.
    The Asus ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM is as feature loaded as monitors come. It has every single high end spec, from 240 hz, 0.03 ms response time, 4K OLED display, this is truly a sight to behold.
    While there are similar offerings on the market today, this one really ties everything together in an incredible way. The key differentiator being the thoughtfully integrated heatsink, which reduces the chance of burn in. If you are in the market for the truly highest end display, there is no further to look than this model.

    Great review
    Had this a few weeks myself, and I am just truly blown away
    When you think about it, it's kind of insane how far we've come
    remember how 10 years ago, if you had a rig that could run any game in 1080p 60fps ultra you were kinda a beast
    and now 10 years later we are running at not only 4x the resolution but 4x the refresh rate with room to spare in some titles, which is kind of insane
    This monitor really is just a do it all monitor, I genuinely cannot find any fault with it.
    The only thing I can find is that the lack of dp 2.1 might hurt its longevity, but with no cards supporting it for now, and when it does come, I dont know if I would be able to tell in person between DSC and a lossless UHBR20 stream

      Totally agree, the progression has been unreal over the past decade. In regard to DisplayPort 2.1, I think it’s really not a big deal for the following reason. Although DSC is still compression, it is visually lossless, meeting ISO/IEC standards. Of course no compression is always best, but in this case it was a compromise I was willing to make.

      DP 2.1 won't really be relevant unless you're running a 4k ultrawide (ie.. 57") at something like ~5000x2160 resolution. Or 8k. It's why Nvidia wasn't really concerned with bringing it's support to market in 2022 but it'll probably be on the 50 series.

    Man I want to get this so bad, it's on my bestbuy cart right now lol, but I keep second guessing myself. My current gaming monitor is a 120hz alienware ultrawide which is still perfect for me, but my younger brother bought a QD oled alienware ultrawide 1.5 years ago and it looks so much better than mine haha. Also I have a QD OLED Sony TV (A95L) so I know what I'm buying myself into in terms of this panel tech.

      @@squirrelsinjacket1804 amazing lol, once you go OLED, you can't go back. 240hz is amazing, but not a huge difference vs 175hz which I have as my secondary screen for many years. 4k is amazing, it's so sharp and I think 32 inch is a perfect size for it (I have a 4k 27 inch I use for work), but I wouldn't go with 4k at that size for gaming (waste of performance). I think you should, for someone who still have a 1080p and 60hz, the upgrade will be beyond night and day. make sure your room doesn't have too many stuff behind though (like window or anything) since it's basically like a mirror (reflects everything). I'm kind of expected what I'm getting myself into since I have a QD OLED TV with glossy display as well.

    What program do you have running in the background with the champagne glass and the honey, etc? I just got one of these monitors and I’m noticing vrr flicker mostly just on loading screen in games. I’m trying to determine just how bad it is and if I should send it back for a replacement. I have a 4090 and i9 13900k so my hardware is solid. Thanks

    • @PatrickMcNamara8
      @PatrickMcNamara8  Před 2 měsíci +1

      So personally if it is only on loading screens I would not send it back, as this is common behavior. From what I have seen, VRR flicker happen on loading screens due to rapid jumping of frame rates, which does not happen during normal rendering of games. I have noticed it on like 1 loading screen, but never again. So if it is something not happening during gameplay, I probably would not worry. Also the demos I had running were just 4K OLED demo footage from LG and Samsung on YT

    @swifhunt4k Před 2 měsíci +4

    The only thing missing is Display Port 2.1 if you wanted to know. This monitor has a KVM switch, right? This plus everything you said would be the perfect monitor and I believe that the Gigabyte Aorus FO32U2P is capable of all of this or I can be wrong but I'll find out later on today when it gets dropped off by UPS at my house and I'll let you know. ✌

    • @PatrickMcNamara8
      @PatrickMcNamara8  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Yup does have KVM, the DisplayPort 2.1 is not a big deal since no cards support it yet. And with 1.4 and dsc it still supports the full 240 in a basically lossless manner

      FO32U2P (AMD freesync certified) flickers on the 4090, PG32UCDM (NVIDIA gsync certified) does not flicker, seen this on the loading screen of AC Odyssey. Asus will have dolby vision, Gigabyte will not. Asus looks dimmer in games with white colors/background, while Gigabyte has amazing brightness and color in games. Even in RDR2 snow areas.

      So it’s actually more than that, I know specifically the issue OP was talking about. There is a rare issue where these LG panels have a color calibration issue that makes red bleed out a bit. And these have to be sent back to factory for replacement. But again it’s a rare issue

      You can see the magenta tint on the monitor starting at 0:16. This is known issue of all QD-OLED monitors, they are only good if you control your light in the room, in a bright environment these monitors suck.

    • @PatrickMcNamara8
      @PatrickMcNamara8  Před 2 měsíci +2

      This is fundamentally a technical limitation of OLED, brightness must be limited to stop burn in. It’s a great panel but it isn’t magic, all panel types have limitations, none are the best in every single way. LCD can have super high brightness, but also have much poorer contrast

    • @IceVip
      @IceVip Před 2 měsíci

      @@PatrickMcNamara8 It's not because of burn in prevention. Imagine blasting all pixels at 1000 nits. How much power do you figure the panel would want? How many power bricks would you need plugged in? 8? 9? The ABL comes due to power constraints. They set it at 180w for example and keep the brightness across the whole panel to peak at 180w. Always was and always will be the main issue.
