For users needing a great all-around display, the 32-inch 16:9 flat OLED is about as good as it gets. This category is still firmly priced at the premium level, but it also reinforces the axiom, “you never regret buying the best.” The Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDM3 embodies that principle.
Gamers will love its stunning image and next-level performance. When comparing OLED monitors, there is no real difference in feel or smoothness at speeds over 200fps. While a 330 or 500 Hz OLED is cool, it won’t do much for gaming besides drop input lag by a few milliseconds. And the PG32UCDM3 managed 18ms in my test, making it one of the quickest 4K screens I’ve reviewed. And if you spring for one in hopes of upgrading your PC after the fact, it has ELMB for smooth operation at 120 Hz.
Image-wise, it has no competition outside the OLED genre. It’s colorful, accurate and bright with incredible depth and contrast. HDR looks amazing and the PG32UCDM3 is one of only a handful of monitors to support Dolby Vision. It also looks to the future with DisplayPort 2.1a and HDMI 2.1. Want to hook up peripherals? It has actual USB ports too, something that has been disappearing from screens of late.
If you have $1,299 to spend on a high-end gaming monitor, and you need it to do work too, the Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDM3 is a stellar choice. You will not regret buying the best in this case. If you have the opportunity, definitely check it out.
