Summary
Today, I would like to do the summaries in such a way that I put a slide from ASUS ROG on here and will say a few words about it.
ASUS delivers a very well-made monitor with a very good QD-OLED panel, which – once again – convinced me in terms of text readability. I also have to emphasize the PG32UCDM’s full equipment in terms of connections as well as the scope of delivery.
The UHD panel with its 240 Hz offers a very good HDR picture, thanks to good HDR calibration by ASUS. Unfortunately, it is not possible to say who is responsible for any fluctuations in brightness in relation to AMD GPUs. I tend to favor AMD more than ASUS here. (I gave you the reasons for this)
But even with an NVIDIA GPU, there can be problems with the refresh rate if you use more than one monitor. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you whether this is due to NVIDIA or ASUS. ASUS must first check what is actually going on. What ASUS really needs to look at is the issue of color accuracy in SDR, because after all, my measurements and Tim and Simon’s results are worlds apart!
Conclusion
The PG32UCDM should melt the hearts of UHD enthusiasts. Gaming on an OLED with 32 inches and 240 Hz? That simply makes all previous LCD monitors look old. What’s more, the PG32UCDM can also be used as an office and creator monitor. Text readability is as good as with an LCD and the 3-year burn-in guarantee from ASUS covers the risk, at least temporarily.
Yes, the monitor has a few firmware weaknesses, which I was able to point out to you, and of course you don’t want to have them as a customer. After all, ASUS is asking an RRP of 1,799 euros – and I had to sit down in shock. We can only hope that the market quickly corrects the prices downwards. The PG32UCDM is virtually already available and is priced (as of 08.04.24) at 1,699 euros. Unfortunately, availability is still limited. But, according to ASUS Germany, availability should improve soon.
Due to the many teething problems, I can’t say any more. Perhaps I can test the PG32UCDM again at a later date? Because, without these teething troubles, the conclusion would probably have been more laudatory. The problem is that my article on the PG32UCDM differs significantly from those of my colleagues in some places. So you basically don’t know what you’ll get for your money in the end. And at the current price, that’s probably the most important thing!
If you buy the PG32UCDM now, you’re not buying a bad monitor, I can assure you of that. But if in doubt, the buyer should see themselves as a beta tester. According to the motto: The firmware updates will sort it out. After all, Dolby Vision will be added and ASUS will be able to fix the problems mentioned. With this in mind, see you in the forum..
The monitor was provided to me by ASUS ROG without obligation – for testing purposes. There was no influence on the tests and results. There was also no compensation for expenses and no obligation to publish by ASUS or anyone else.
