ASUS has introduced two cutting-edge OLED monitors designed specifically for gamers. These monitors include a 32" classic 16:9 screen version and a 34" ultrawide variant. Let's delve into the technical details.
ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM
The ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM stands as the world's first 32-inch 4K OLED gaming monitor, boasting a rapid 240 Hz refresh rate and a swift 0.03 (GTG) response time. Employing QD-OLED technology, this monitor achieves a peak brightness of 1000 nits, remarkable color performance, an extensive gamut, impressive contrast, and a refined sub-pixel arrangement for enhanced text legibility.
A sophisticated cooling design, incorporating a custom heat sink and graphene materials, guards the OLED panel against burn-in risks. The Smart KVM switch permits control over two devices via a single keyboard and mouse, eliminating the need for extra hardware or software. Furthermore, users can switch between devices effortlessly using PIP mode through keyboard shortcuts.
Connectivity options abound, including DisplayPort™ 1.4, HDMI® 2.1, and USB Type-C with power delivery. The anticipated on-the-shelf date for this model is Q1 2024.
ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM
The ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM offers a captivating ultrawide experience, with a 34-inch 800R curved OLED gaming monitor at 3440 x 1440 resolution. This monitor is characterized by its 240 Hz refresh rate and swift 0.03 ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time. Its specialized custom heatsink effectively mitigates operating temperature concerns and the potential for burn-in. Displaying a peak brightness of 1300 nits, the PG34WCDM aligns with DisplayHDR™ True Black 400 standards. Its G-SYNC compatibility ensures seamless, tear-free visuals with minimal latency. The built-in Smart KVM empowers users to control two devices using just a keyboard and mouse. High-speed file transfers across input sources are facilitated by USB 3.2 connectivity.
Connectivity options for the PG34WCDM include DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and USB Type-C with 90 W power delivery. This model is projected to be available in the market during Q1 2024.
ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD
The ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD monitor is a 49-inch super-ultrawide (5120 x 1440) gaming monitor, featuring an 1800R QD-OLED panel with 144 Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms response time for immersive gaming experiences. For improved performance and to ensure the longevity of the QD-OLED panel, the PG49WCD includes a custom heatsink and graphene film for better heat dissipation to reduce the risk of burn-in and boost peak brightness up to 1000 nits². The built-in Smart KVM allows users to control two devices with a keyboard and mouse, all without the need for specialized software or additional hardware. Users can even transfer files across between the two input devices via superfast USB 3.2 connectivity. The monitor offers a range of connectivity including a USB Type-C port with 90 W power delivery, DisplayPort 1.4, and HDMI 2.1. The PG49WCD will be available in October 2023.
