ASUS ROG Swift 32” 4K HDR 144Hz DSC Gaming Monitor (PG32UQX) - UHD (3840 x 2160), Mini-LED IPS, G-SYNC Ultimate, Local dimming, Quantum Dot Technology, DisplayHDR 1400, Eye Care, DisplayPort, HDMI

PREVIOUS MONITOR Since 2016 I've used the Acer XB271HU 1440p, 165Hz, IPS, G-SYNC Module, 27" monitor for everything I did. That includes gaming, 3D modeling (Rhino3D, Maya, ZBrush), 3D rendering (Maxwell, VRay), photo editing (Photoshop, Lightroom), 2D graphics (Illustrator), and it did great for everything. I never calibrated it and colors were still decently good (not perfect) when printing physical copies of my work. For gaming, it was great and I could not have chosen a better monitor when I did for the various things I needed it for. NEW MONITOR (ASUS XG27AQM) To preface this, I've also used the Acer XB273U GX and the ASUS TUF VG259QM for several months each and at separate times each. Purchased them at Micro Center just for testing purposes (to see which I liked more) and not for ownership. I know some people prefer 24" monitors for gaming, but I personally can switch between 24" and 27" monitors just fine. It's only been one day since I received ASUS XG27AQM in the mail, but listed below are my PROS and CONS. Personally, it's worth the upgrade from my previous monitor (especially since I'll be looking to sell my XB271HU now). The ability to feel and play at frames higher than 165fps (especially if sustained and with a crisp frame time graph) is very noticeable and makes fast paced games much more enjoyable. I have not overclocked it to 270Hz because there's currently really no need to in my opinion (refer to CONS). SIDE NOTE (UPDATED) I'm also a bit cautious of the OC function because on my previous experience with the Acer XB273U GX and the ASUS TUF VG259QM. Both screens would go black for a few seconds and then the picture would come back. Granted, it also warns you when enabling the OC. I honestly didn't mind it, but it'd happen in the middle of a game which was annoying at times. I purchased an iVANKY DP1.4 cable (since the reviews were great) and the black screen still happened even when trying different ports on the monitors and graphics card. The OC function on my Acer XB271HU never caused the screen the go black, ever. Update: Since writing the review, I've overclocked the XG27AQM to 270Hz, and at least for my unit, the screen does not flicker or go black for a few seconds. Keeping it overclocked for the foreseeable future. PROS - 1440p - 240Hz (270Hz OC) - Very Responsive (Slightly quicker input lag than my previous monitor, but that's probably due to the increase Hz) - Good colors (Will most certainly calibrate this monitor though) - Arrived with zero dead pixels - No perceptible overshoot at Overdrive Setting 4 (I tried OD-5 as well, but I visually preferred OD-4) - Motion clarity at OD-4 with ELMB disabled is noticeably improved from my previous monitor - I have G-SYNC Compatible enabled and it works great (I personally don't notice a difference from a physical G-SYNC Module, and many well documented reviews for monitors only show an input lag increase of <1ms when enabling a Variable Refresh Rate technology) so it's worth it CONS - When enabling ELMB, the brightness is too low for me even in a very dark room. Update: I've since enabled ELMB. What I did to combat the brightness drop is set it to 100% brightness first, then enabled ELMB, and finally set Shadow Boost to Level 2. It was plenty usable after that. - I don't have an RTX 3080 yet to push more frames haha :'( My RTX 2070 Super is great, but an upgrade is definitely needed for this type of monitor. Maybe I'll wait for an RTX 4080 to pair with my i9-10850K @ 5.0GHz. FINAL THOUGHTS If you haven't purchased a monitor in several years and have been looking for a proper upgrade, here is your monitor, the ASUS XG27AQM. These specs will not become obsolete any time soon. The 1440p resolution provides improved visual clarity from 1080p, the increased refresh rate of 240Hz Native/270Hz OC from 165Hz is noticeable, and the motion clarity improvement is great for the enjoyment of fast paced video games. If I were asked, "Would you return your ASUS XG27AQM and instead purchase the Acer XB273U GX or ASUS TUF VG259QM?", my answer would be, "No." But if I were asked, "In hindsight, which would you purchase, the ASUS XG27AQM, Acer XB273U GX or ASUS TUF VG259QM?", my answer would be, "The ASUS TUF VG259QM is 100% out of the question because of the noticeable decrease in resolution and visual clarity. For the ASUS XG27AQM and Acer XB273U GX it would depend on availability. Both 1440p 270Hz monitors are great each with their own pros and cons. The Acer XB273U GX has two usable Black Frame Insertion modes (Off, Normal, and Extreme) vs the ASUS XG27AQM's (On and Off). Colors, motion clarity, and input lag are all comparable. Ultimately, I'd be hard pressed to say one is better than the other, so I'd be happy purchasing either the ASUS XG27AQM or the Acer XB273U GX. But from my own personal experience, there was some noticeable overshoot on my copy of the Acer XB273U GX which is why I did not repurchase it and instead went for the ASUS XG27AQM. No overshoot to be seen on my copy of the ASUS XG27AQM which is why I will be keeping this monitor and not returning it." Games I Play: Witcher 3, PUBG, Rocket League, Battlefield (4, V, 2042), Apex Legends, Risk of Rain 2, Dragon Quest XI, Ori Series, Trine Series, and Resident Evil 2 Remake.

I have no words for how Incredible this Gaming Monitor . 1st This has all kinds of Interesting features and settings it’s loaded with em . It was a little late in the evening to get delivered. The box is sturdy and tough the monitor is thin and just with enough bulk to provide a premium gaming experience the Hdr is Great it’s the best I have ever seen gaming on it is No words how it hits all frames and stays with all features full throttled . calibrating is actually fun on this God of a Monitor. R.O.G. You guys are obliterating the competition Buy this Asap don’t even think on it just get this as soon as Ya seen it under $500 . I am beyond impressed and satisfied! Amazon has done Great and this thing works great for movies to just the right size to not be to big .

If you're waffling between spending the extra cost to get an Oled screen and this, get this. The 4k 160htz screen is incredible, and it has allowed me to see what I can get out of my steam deck when it's docked to a screen and opened up the possibility to get a better gaming system that can handle more FPS. It's also pretty awesome that it can technically scale down the resolution and up the HTZ to 320. I haven't needed or wanted to do that yet honestly. The screen is crisp, allows me to get a better refresh rate when it's docked, and it also looks great when working or streaming a show. It's really easy to adjust your settings as well to get the best performance out of the screen and calibrate it to the game you're playing.

I went from having dual 27 inch monitors to just this one. I did this because I felt I was not doing well focusing on a single task with dual monitors. That being said, I needed a monitor that would perform well for anything from gaming to coding. This monitor has been everything I needed it to be, with excellent color reproduction and far fewer strange glitches entering the bios or working with my KVM than my old monitors. If you are looking for a reasonably priced gaming monitor with relatively high refresh rates, semi-gloss screen you can not go wrong with this monitor. Given the 32 inch size, excellent picture, vivid colors and wealth of settings options, I haven't missed my dual monitors at all.

Definitely a solid investment. Picture quality is really good and it's been extremely reliable. No flickering or bad colors. Or dead pixels. Great for the Xbox and PS5.

Pros: - Time of this review, best monitor you can buy. Period. It really performs well. - Works well with Windows 11 Auto HDR in games that does not support it. - 1400 Nits is crazy and REALLY shines with HDR content ;). - 4k has really come a long way since I last looked into it. Really not that hard to drive anymore if you have a RTX3080+. Cons: - Not many games can utilize the GSync Pro. - EXPENSIVE - Heavy. My monitor arm wouldn't hold it up, even maximizing the hydraulic pressure on them. - OLED on the front immediately got disabled. It does this "swiping" animation every 30 seconds or so that is SO distracting. Horrible decision. Can't turn that off. - Downward facing light is too frilly. - Still a little haloing when you have a small white item on a black background. (Mouse pointer with a dark background). Conclusion: I wish companies would give us a no-frills monitor that could perform on the same level as this one.

This is the best monitor in every aspect: the image quality, the colors, games look great on this monitor. I recommend it 100%.

Do not listen to most of these people who are giving this monitor bad reviews. This monitor is a beast and probably one of the best 1440p monitors out for this price. I would highly recommended this over its competitors and the 270hz doesn’t hurt either.

amazing monitor the shadow boost and ulmb are a game changer for IPS but so sad i have a 1 dead pixel , returning for replacement but seems comon with this panels to get dead or stuck pixel

Good for gaming and for binge watch.

~24' monitor, 165Hz at 1080p, with G-sync. Screen can tilt 90 degrees (or more?). Great quality monitor for its price. Definitely worth the upgrade if you are playing FPS (First Person Shooter) games. I upgraded from a 60Hz Acer monitor which was about the same price about 5 years ago. Monitor was easy to assemble with no tools required. Only thing I should mention is that the box has a very sharp handle on the inside on which I cut myself. Be careful unpacking.
