Competition in the OLED monitor space is really heating up. In today's review we're checking out the Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDM OLED monitor. We're gonna talk about some hot topics like DisplayPort 2.1 and Dolby Vision. And I'll show you a feature called Aspect Control that I think puts this monitor at the top of the list...at least for now.

    *The info about the front facing light at 3:16 is incorrect. There is a separate setting under system that's not grouped with the rest of the lighting options so it CAN be disabled - just tested it. Thanks to @isn1p12 for the catch. * Also for those curious about input latency hit with Aspect Control, can confirm it adds .3ms for processing. Well worth it imo.

    in 3:16 you said the light cant be disabled but it actually can. you go to system setup > power indicator and then toggle it off

    the reason why 27" isnt 1440p or 24" 1080p is simply because it displays the actual physical pixels for those sizes, a 1:1 readout. So since this is a 140ppi monitor it simply has more pixels at 27" compared to a 1440p version, as those only result in 110ppi. But good thing that you can still use a higher resolution input which gets downscaled, so 1440p on the 24" mode looks super crisp as you mentioned in the video.
  • Badseed out here dropping knowledge on us. Very thorough review (without going full monitor nerd on us). Well done.
  • This is my personal choice, I have prepaid the monitor and I am waiting for the delivery in 3 weeks in the city of Sofia, Bulgaria! If you want, believe it, they sent 2 units for the region and I managed to get one! I've liked it since CES and for me the PG32UCDM is the best monitor of this generation of 4K OLED !

    What an awesome presentation, no wonder i tend too fall tired watching other reviews. This is the speed my brain needs. Subbed
  • @PortraitDisplays

  • @Phoenix-Brah
    Glorious content, straight to the point without dumbing it down. Good work king!

    UPVOTE SO MORE PEOPLE SEE THIS IMPORTANT DISLAIMER! The real reason why DSC is an issue is that on nvidia GPU's it causes a 3 second black screen when tabbing out and on monitors that don't require DSC like HDMI 2.1 or DIsplayport 2.1, the tabbing out is instant and responsive. No weird issues at all. DSC's compression was never it's issue, it's at least lossless in our experience. But The black screen for a few seconds is absolutely related to DSC. Nvidia has no fix for this.

  • @rua893
    bro this guys knowledge on monitors is amazing ,, very informative without being boring đź‘Ťđź‘Ť
  • You just answered all my questions about display port color bit as well as way to run 12 bit on hdmi 2.1 without even trying. No other video explains it so clearly. I subscribed u the real one
  • @Dizzyfatpigeon
    Thank you so much for covering the screen size feature, to which I had no idea the ASUS could do this, as far as I know only the gigabyte has this feature. I had great worries 4K over 32" would hurt competitive ability, but 1440p scaled to a smaller window sounds so perfect, its almost 2 monitors in one I was holding out for more reviews of the gigabyte/MSI/HP, but I think I'm gonna go with this one
  • @SidGameReview
    Great video! Just found this channel, keep up the good work!
  • @zoiaz9575
    Great video and review! I've already ordered this screen. Hopefully getting it in mid april. Very excited about this monitor.
  • @jonny555333
    I dont understand how it can do 27in 4k when its 4k at 32in natively. That just doesnt seem technically possible.
