ASUS - ROG Swift 32" 4K OLED 240Hz 0.03ms Gaming Monitor with FreeSync Premium Pro and HDR (DisplayPort, HDMI) - Black

Monitor shopping is always difficult for me. It's hard to find exactly what I want that has all the features that I want, but this monitor checks every single box. However, it does come with a hefty price tag. It's a 32" display outputting 4k 240hz and it looks amazing. I also have a 32" 4k 144hz Dell LCD monitor that I'm using and the difference is night and day. The OLED simply cannot be beat when it comes to contrast and deep blacks. HDR is generally hit or miss for me when it comes to any display I've had, but with this display it looks phenomenal. Again, the difference is night and day compared to my Dell LCD monitor. I keep HDR enabled on this display. This display also gets super bright. I was surprised at the level of brightness because I've always heard that OLEDs aren't as bright. Setting up and installing the software for the monitor was a breeze. I had it up and going in just a few minutes. The software is easy to use and has a lot of cool features to help personalize it the way you want it. For me, the picture looks great right out of the box so I didn't really spend much time tweaking any of the settings. The monitor also comes with a handy little pouch that has all the cables you'd possibly need. I was really surprised by this because it seems like most manufacturers these days give you the bare minimum. It's a high quality pouch and the cords are all long enough for what I need. It also has all the ports you'd expect out of a modern high-end monitor, including USB C which is nice, as I can connect my laptop to it and charge it at the same time. I used the DP cable for my GPU and it works great. HDMI 2.1 also worked fine. I was kind of hoping that the monitor would include speakers, but unfortunately it does not. That's not really a deal-breaker, though. Considering this is ROG, I got this monitor primarily for gaming, and it absolutely delivers. I've got this monitor paired with a 4080 and so far it's been great, though there are newer demanding games that I can't get 240fps with. But it's still nice to have the capability if I ever decide to upgrade my GPU later. Playing at 4K with a higher refresh rate is awesome, and it's especially nice when games properly utilize HDR. Overall I'm really happy with this monitor. Even though I spent more than I was hoping to spend, every time I sit down and see this display the regret fades. The only thing that concerns me about this display is the potential for burn in, but that's the nature of an OLED I suppose. I'm hoping that the technology has improved enough that it isn't as much of a problem these days, but we'll see how it holds up in the long run.

This has the best HDR of any OLED monitor released this year after firmware update MCM105, which brought a very usable HDR Peak 1000 mode after calibration. This would be even better if ASUS brought upon Adjustable HDR and toggleable Global Dimming Control like on the newly released XG27ACDNG, which would further thrust the UCDM ahead in the monitor HDR space. Uniform Brightness makes desktop browsing a good bit easier on the eyes when doing mundane desktop tasks or browsing. If you have the computing power to play 4K (3090Ti, 7900XT, 4070TiS as the minimum) and are considering a new monitor (and especially an OLED) consider looking at this monitor.

The best gaming OLED on market right now. Being able to switch to 1080p or 1440p fir competitive games such as cs or valorant is perfect. HDR on most monitors are awful but this one is probably the best I have seen so far. The screen and design of this monitor ks very nice as well. Pictures show the difference between my lg 2k monitor and this.
