ASUS ROG Swift 32" PG32UCDM - on offer do I bite

bakes0310 · 12 Dec 2024 at 11:28

I have a 32" 1440p and I'm thinking of getting this 4k monitor that's supposedly meant to be the best and it's now on offer.

Anyone have this monitor or a 4k OLED that uses it to game on?
I have a 7800x3d and a 7900xtx to power it and I'm not bothered about Ray tracing. I'm hoping I'll be hitting 60fps+ in majority of my games but to be honest there's very few I play that are demanding.

Should I get it?

32" @ 4K looks awesome. I've just side graded from that to a 49" 5440 x 1440 and am missing the pixel density.

Would you say I have the spec for it if I'm happy at 60fps?

Yeah easy especially if you disable ray tracing.

You'll be very happy with what you get, should blitz through most games at 4K easily beyond 60fps except for the most demanding of titles.

Only worth waiting if you 100% want DP 2.1 support from your next monitor (and GPU Upgrade) to avoid DSC (and in that scenario just get the AORUS Pro model) which is about the same price.

Ordered, can't wait super excited.
Anything I should know about about setting 4k, also how do I setup HDR for my games as I've never done it before?

Hurrrghn I’m so tempted on this as well. Just… too big for keyboard and mousing (for me).

Kicking back with a controller though… that works… hurghnnn.

Thanks I'll take a look, just checked out the firmware and it looks like I need to update it to the latest if it's not already on there as it has Dolby Vision.
No idea what Dolby Vision is but it's free feature.

Firmware easy to work out on how to install?
Download off Asus site then run file on desktop?

Happy with 4k and it being OLED. This will be my first experience of both.

I almost picked up the 32" oled on BF but instead the xg27ucs was on a great deal 4k but 27", having lived with it for a while I'm super impressed with it, much better than my old screen.

FW updating is pretty idiot-proof these days.
