Asus ROG Swift PG32UQX review: The ultimate HDR experience?

The ROG Swift PG32UQX was first teased around two years ago, and it hyped up the PC gaming community unlike any gaming monitor in recent history. You’ll find forum threads full of excitement. And for good reason. According to Asus, the ROG Swift PG32UQX featured mind-blowing HDR performance unlike any other monitor that’s currently on the market. More than that, it was also the first 32-inch 4K gaming monitor based on Mini-LED technology, featuring Full-Array Local Dimming (FALD) for HDR illumination with 1,152 individual zones and a peak brightness of up to 1,400 nits. The catch, of course, was its price tag. $2,999 is more than most entire PC gaming setups cost, including PC, monitor, and peripherals. As such, it’s only realistic to expect absolute and utter perfection. The ROG Swift PG32UQX does a lot of things amazingly well, but perfect it is not. The ROG Swift PG32UQX is quite a large monitor.

Mind-blowing HDR performance; Extremely high peak brightness; Excellent colors; Thread built-in for camera mounting; Fast, fluid gaming;

Asus ROG Swift PG32UQX review: Mini-LED gaming monitors FTW

The Asus ROG Swift PG32UQX comes loaded with a ton of great features—it’s the first gaming monitor equipped with a locally dimmable mini-LED backlight. You might have to empty your savings account to purchase it, but just think of all the crystal-clear, beautiful gaming you can play. There aren’t many displays that can stand up to the specs on this monitor right now, but it’s ultimately built for only the most hardcore of gamers. Still, if you’re looking for the best, you may just have found it.

The Asus ROG Swift PG32UQX is a top-class 4K gaming monitor. But with all of its high-end features, it should only be appealing to professional gamers or hardcore enthusiasts with big wallets—Asus is asking an astronomical $2,999 for the 32-inch display. In return, however, you get a screen that raises the bar, and takes gaming to a new level.
