You better hope Samsung sort out there QA and up their game from the G7/G9 mess.

If a smaller OLED doesn’t come out soon, then I will be buying one. HDMI 2.0 isn’t that important to me anyway. I will have to sell my PG35VQ to make this affordable though.

I've had nothing but hassles with Samsung monitors, complete trash

You sure they quoted the year?

 

[Arex]

Nooooooooooooooo! It always seems to take them like two years from announcing their high end monitors to them actually launching them. Well, based on a sample size of one - the PG27U.........

ProArt PA32UCG has been waiting for actual release since September 2019.

I think it was sometime around that Finnish term "tulevana vuonna tuohikuussa"...

Wonder if the delay is because it has HDMI 2.1

Whose official spec was released two years before PA32UCG's paper announcement.
They sure aren't keeping hurry...

I've been scanning this daily, messaged Asus US, UK, nothing!

 

[captainchats]

Pretty ridiculous, they have it on their website they’ve sent them out for reviews on YouTube but you can’t buy one let alone have a release date. Wtf

 

[Vega]

Just buy one from the U.S.

lol,where in the us sell it and would they even ship to the U.K.

While I have been an OLED fan since they came out, when I did an A-B comparison of my 48CX versus the PG32 yesterday the OLED didn't fare as well as I expected.

The PG32 had better near black details due to the OLED black crush.
The PG32 had noticeably better colors.
The PG32 was obviously brighter, SDR and especially HDR. Everything just "pops" more on the PG32, despite the OLEDs perfect blacks and higher contrast ratio.

Despite the halo'ing that's a bigger deal than most people say, and despite the slow pixels in which the OLED has better motion clarity, the PG32 still won me over. The 48CX is up for sale.

Would it have been so hard to release a non "bling" version of this. Want the features, don't want the look.

 

[Obliter8]

To be fair, @blairw they've not even managed to ship the 'bling' one yet! I don't need the RGB tat either, but I'll settle for even being able to purchase the damn thing

Well the PG32UQ will be their lower cost equivalent without the Mini LED backlight

Maybe it will even have top level response times...
Though marketing is always marketing, so it's unclear if "1ms" of AU Optronics matches LG's "1ms".

 

[blairw]

To be fair what I actually want is the LG OLED 32 with HDMI 2.1 and 120hz but I can only imagine what it would actually cost

About £1100 I reckon.
