About this iteam:
The Asus ROG Swift PG32UQX is the world’s first Mini-LED gaming monitor. This explains why it’s also one of the most expensive at a heartbreaking $3,700. For context, that’s $1,000 more than the exceptional 65-inch LG C1 OLED TV which would likely be the best competition for this monitor. But there’s a lot going on here that makes for an extremely potent package that will appeal to the prosumer/gamer segment.
For the uninitiated, Mini-LED uses thousands of tiny LEDs to offer up full-array local dimming (FALD), unlike conventional LED displays that use crude edge lighting instead. This means by turning on and off LED zones, the panel can have more precise control over the picture’s lights and darks. Case in point, the PG32UQX has 1152 independent LED zones which can shift from almost perfect black to a blindingly bright 1400 nits.
The end result is that the PG32UQX is one of the best panels I’ve ever used. Colors are punchy yet accurate and that insane brightness earns the PG32UQX the auspicious DisplayHDR 1400 certification. However, since these are LED zones and not self-lit pixels like an OLED, you won’t get those insane blacks for infinite contrast.
Additionally, since the Mini-LEDs get really bright, you’ll, unfortunately, get some obvious haloing around singular bright points like the mouse cursor or certain HUD elements in games. It’s not common but it is there. Thankfully, everything else looks so pretty that it was never really a putoff in daily use and gaming.
The PG32UQX boasts 10-bit color with 160% Adobe sRGB coverage and 98% DCI-P3 wide color with a Delta E<2 which makes it a creator’s dream. Compared to my calibrated MacBook Pro 16 Retina display, the PG32UQX outpaces it with a sharpness and vibrancy to die for. And at 32-inches, the PG32UQX offers just the right pixel density to revel in its 4K resolution.
Asus also threw in support for Nvidia G-Sync Ultimate, plus there’s also VRR which works well with Xbox Series X|S but is sadly unsupported by the Playstation 5. Altogether, this makes for an extremely gorgeous display to work and game on. I’ve been sucked back into the addiction that is Destiny 2 and for all its faults, it’s still one of the most beautiful games to play in HDR.
