ASUS ROG Strix 32” 4K HDR Gaming Monitor (XG32UCG) –...

Most Helpful Review

"I really did enjoy my time with this monitor but over time I saw that it was not as good as the PG43UQ (I also have owned that monitor since launch) The main issues with this screen is that its not Full-Array Local Dimming so HDR will not look correct on this screen. But for normal SDR content, this is a great screen if you are using primarily AMD based graphics card and or the Xbox Series X/PS5. I know this monitor is not advertised as being able to do g-sync, but it is capable. But the G-sync experience on this thing is bad for pc gaming. There is a lot of blur and it's just not as good as the PG43UQ, again, that version of the monitor IS made for g-sync and it just looks so much better and is way more smooth.This could have been one of the best VA gaming monitor refreshes from ASUS. Because this thing can get bright it just needs a few more things to truly make it one of the best gaming monitors/tv's. I hope they don't fully give up on VA, I play primarily Japanese style action and fighting games and RPG's that have large HUD's and owning a OLED in my home they are just not that great for long hardcore gaming sessions. Our 2018 LG OLED has image retention from one of my games and after experiencing that I swore to never play a game on OLED again also OLED screens are extremely dim and have OBL on them by default to make the screen even darker, for my uses, it's just not good enough.This screen has really low input lag as well and 2 HDMI 2.1 ports. The 4K 120hz on this screen looks strange sometimes, you can see fuzziness in the image when things start to move, again, something I have never seen on the PG43UQ. Also, the first screen amazon sent me had about 7 dead pixels on it out of the box, but the screen look vibrant and great, it was an earlier production model. They sent a new one that was made this year and the screen was really dark and grayish AND had about 5 dead pixels and it looked like it had dog hair stuck in the bezel of the screen, really disappointing. So make sure you really scrutinize this screen before the return window is up, for me it was a nightmare. I ended up returning both and going back to the PG43UQ because even tho it doesn't have the HDMI 2.1 ports, it's image quality and motion handling is superior. I really wish this monitor was better because it almost meets all my needs."
