The ROG monitors are pretty legit but I know what you mean. It does seem like every monitor review he does, it's always "the only monitor you could ever need" so now I'm really confused about which monitor I should really buy hehe
I know, right? Is getting really old really fast the way he feels entitled to handle products with no care. "Oh, look, I'm Linus, I can do whatever I want just because I'm Linus and I'm cool and stuff!" Anyway... Just an honest opinion.
I per-ordered this monitor and I stepped over from a 27" ASUS Strix 4k 60Hz G-sync monitor, and I must say the gaming experience is better. Visually, I do not believe I lost anything coming from 4k, and the higher refresh rate improved my experience in FPS games. The HDR aspect wasn't a game changer for me, but going from 27" to 32" was awesome! The game feels more immersive and the picture is amazing. Games like Destiny 2 for example look absolutely stunning on this monitor. I only wish there was an option for HDR10 and still under $1k US, then the monitor would be perfect IMO. This was a great purchase that I'm very happy with!
@@nickt6595 Consoles will render most games at 4k then put it inside a 1440p (this is oversampling). It will give something almost indistinguishable from real 4k. On a PC, you can go into your videocard settings and increased the resolution that the games are running (Oversampling). So you can, if you want render 4k or even 8k the game, but the final output will fitted inside a 1440p. VR HMD are all doing oversampling (rendering at a higher resolution than the display). It is a new concept on PC.
@@holysmokes.7 i've seen this one. yes, this comes close. But i think in about 5 years the manufactures can produce oled without burn-in. Oled just has amazing colours, and combined with hdr it's gonna be an amazing experience. imagine shadow of the tomb raider on it; Combined with the refresh rate that would be the only monitor someone needs, because he could play aaa/singleplayer games and fps games
@@victorperezADSK That one's not well designed for PC gaming, you need 3000 series and up to use HDMI 2.1 to get 120 hz at 4k, it has flickering issues with G-sync, not to mention burn-in paranoia. Hopefully this year's C1 will fix those issues.
Hardware has come so far. Even my GTX 1660 Super paired with the Ryzen 5 3600X is able to play Doom in 1440p at 80-100 FPS. And with G-Sync, it's very smooth. Gotta love the current state of gaming.
@@juliangrieco Tell me your Tricks, because my league runs like shoot (max 100fps when there’s action on the screen) on my GTX 1080. And that is on 1440p Edit: maybe I should add, that league is barely using the card. I think it’s Bad optimisation, but if you have any ideas, I’d love to hear them
I bought this monitor days after it's release after a month of monitor searching. I think it's a bit big but at a proper distance away (like 2 feet or more away from your face) it's a fantastic monitor. Going from a typical VA 1080p 27" to THIS was veeery nice. Although I got a singular dead pixel in mine... Bad Asus, you're better than that
Having both 1440p and 4k monitors I can say that I prefer 1440p way better and enjoy it more than 4k. I like to have 120fps+ on my games and 1440p is that great middle ground to achieve that for me.
Sure when you don’t have the hardware to run both but no question 4K is a better viewing experience than 1440p , but if hz and fast paced gaming is all u care about then sure 1440p is a good balance
Well, if a monitor is hdr 400 you can at least expect it to be fairly decent, like middle of the pack. You are right though, 400 and 600 for sure isn't in the hdr ballpark.
@@D_8KEN For you yo properly use HDR, you need content made for that, Kinda like Dolby Atmos, Ofc youtube wont look different, on doom eternal or Some Good movies you will notice the difference easily
Why don't companies make OLED monitors? I think they should stop trying to improve IPS and just move onto OLED. A 1080p@60Hz OLED would look far better than a 1440p@120Hz monitor.
I have this monitor and LOVE it. I did have to send the first one back due to a flickering pixel (which Asus would not cover), however, I was within days of my Amazon purchase window! New one is fantasmic. New PC is being built currently! 😊
Back in the day I bought pretty much the first LCD screen available in a big size it was a Philips 18" and it cost me nearly $2000. Everyone thought I was nuts because it was so big.
I got excited when I saw it was 32" but then realized it wasn't the long awaited Asus ROG Swift PG32UQ, which is this monitor's 4K older brother that still doesn't have a release date...
6:23 I had been using a 4K 60hz monitor for a really long time on my setup and while certainly not ideal for gaming it was beautiful, every detail was so crisp. However my 1080 ti, while a monster for all of these years, wouldn’t do well at 4K for all games, so now I have a 1440p 165hz monitor and while not as crisp it’s an overall worthwhile downgrade for what you get as benefits.
Last Saturday I got the MAG274QRF-QD. Before I was using a 4k 60hz monitor from 4 years ago, and the only thing I miss is the clarity of the text on my desktop, but the change in resolution for games is barely noticeable, and the 165hz has definitely made gaming more enjoyable.
5:00 this is why i think panel manufacturers need to come out with more options for pc monitors like they do for laptop screens. you get all sorts of crazy resolutions on laptops to fit whatever size and aspect ratio theyre using, yet on pc you either go 1440p or have to jump to 4k and tank performance. there needs to be a middle ground like an 1800p panel which would be perfect for 32" screens and not result in such a huge performance sacrifice as 4k.
This monitor ticks literally every box for me. I've been looking for 1440p, 120hz+, IPS, G/Free-sync, 32", good enough colour gamut for video and photo editing, and NOT 3x the price of the monitor I have already which ticks all those boxes apart from size, for over a year. Its not too hard to find something that ticks most of them, but thats not acceptable to me. Now I just have to wait and see when (if) we ever get it in Australia, and how much the Australia tax on it is going to be.
Are you happy with it? Does this have significant better image quality than the XG27AQ? Both 1440p it is just some inches more and is like 300 euro more here.
The VA on the Odessy is on another level for VA and actually performs better in response times that even nano IPS but the viewing angles and Variable refreshrate implementation from what I've heard is poor.
On my Asus tuf, the ELMB sync is super great for sure. If it gets too dark, you can always use a lil bit of shadow boost. Also, if you like forced sharpening, I know the TUF model has it and not sure about this one but vivid pixel is not bad like 1 to 2 stages in.
0:52 you got a point and that's why I followed this channel just sometimes or most of the time my heart can't stand the abuse on a hardware that was out of reach
Resolution is really the most important thing to me. I _need_ 'retina' for normal browsing and for text. Many GPUs can handle 4K for browsing, I'll just lower the resolution when I want to game.
The 4K version of this monitor will be the PG32UQ. It was announced at this year's CES, and it will have HDMI 2.1. Not to be confused with the PG32UQX which will be a HDR1400 panel with the 1152-zone FALD backlight, which was showcased at CES2020.
I just bought this for 400 dollars at micro center and could not be happier! I do wish it was a tiny bit brighter, but the colors are perfect, and that price...
Not worth it for $700. My gigabyte monitor is 32" 1440p 165hz with G sync, amazing color accuracy, etc and was only $370. I'll admit mines a VA panel but still has all the features and looks stunning. Not worth that much extra for an IPS. Some of these brands really need to chill and start getting competitive on these monitor prices.
32 inch at 1440p is truly brutal! I tried it in the past (Gigabyte 32QC) and when coming from a 27" at 1440p I could not for the life of me get away with the larger DPI/un-crisp image. I sold the monitor, then some months down the line I bought another as I remembered the input lag was awesome on it, figured I'd use it only as a secondary display, for competitive/online gaming, but alas, I remembered quickly how un-crisp 1440p looks on 32", and how much it annoys me, so I sold it not long after. Moral of the storey is within the 1st seven words of this comment. 😀
I sold my pg279qm after i bought this screen. Both colours and details were better on the pg329q... ppi is more noticeable when you go 4k or you have a "pro monitor" over 300 ppi. Pixel pitch on the pg279qm is 0.233mm and 0.277mm on the pg329q. That's def. not something you'll notice in games.
Yeah, I bought a 1440p 144Hz FreeSync HDR 600 27" monitor for less than 500 euros 2 years ago. Also with Quantum dot even! Sure it's a bit smaller, but I'll take the sharpness every day. I'll upgrade when it makes sense. I really don't get why this monitor should cost 700$. I mean, that gets you a really nice GPU (in normal times*).
I’ve been running my rtx 3080 for about 8 months now with a 1080p monitor so it’s Nice to be able to take more advantage of all that horse power with this monitor
I find the lack of high refresh monitors with proper HDR more concerning. Something is seriously wrong with the monitor market if a freaking TV (LG 48CX) is the best and cheapest HDR gaming display.
Productivity for example. In my case the difference 1440p and 2160p means 2 more virtual machines opened or an extra pdf document. For gaming? 1440p with higher refresh rates, no doubt
How about "Back Light Bleeding"? My previous king ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q had terrible backlight bleed, so I had to replace it 2 times, and still have very bad bleeding.
IPS panel... Always bleeding light. Never a black panel. If you want beautiful contrast and deep black, chose VA panel or Oled. IPS have crazy colors because because IPS panels have crazy cd /m2. But all this density of light is not blocked, so black are Grey. Only VA panels can control that. My tv is Sony HDR 400 with Va panel... Blacks are... Blacks, no light bleeds. And it cost me 600 euros only.
@@nicolasgrangeonhandpanandd514 What are you talking about is "IPS glowing". IPS Backlight bleeding is issue where light bleeding from edges of the screen.
@@Brain64cores yes you're right. I was thinking that you spoke about that. I know perfectly what is bleeding light... It's trully a bad thing in dark sessions.
Also, does saying the video is sponsored by ASUS count for an entire advertisement posing as a video? This Canuck has fooled us into watching an 8 minute commercial.
I bought one. It should be here later today. I play on series X. After shit loads of internet shopping for a 32 inch 1440p IPS monitor, this seemed like the best monitor for the money. They're only 350 now.
I've always seen these and LTT videos as showing premium products and features that will trickle down to less expensive products. They'll sometimes be an incredible value product in which case that gets a showcase, but there's not much point showing just a reasonably good 1080p 120hz monitor just because its less expensive because it would just make for such a boring video. So this monitor has good coverage from Qdot and ips which most reasonably priced monitors will have in 2 years, and now you know to look out for that.
Linus says it's $700, but anytime anything neat is posted on TH-cam to la large backing(half a million views in two days), the price magically goes up. . . . Aaaaand now it's $2000 for the included link, sold out in a few others, a couple have yet to be hit.

Lol imagine his reaction when he checks out the 32 inch 4k hdmi 2.1 monitor Rog showed off at ces
send me the linkkk
Not worth it for $700. My gigabyte monitor is 32" 1440p 165hz with G sync, amazing color accuracy, etc and was only $370. I'll admit mines a VA panel but still has all the features and looks stunning. Not worth that much extra for an IPS. Some of these brands really need to chill and start getting competitive on these monitor prices.
32 inch at 1440p is truly brutal! I tried it in the past (Gigabyte 32QC) and when coming from a 27" at 1440p I could not for the life of me get away with the larger DPI/un-crisp image. I sold the monitor, then some months down the line I bought another as I remembered the input lag was awesome on it, figured I'd use it only as a secondary display, for competitive/online gaming, but alas, I remembered quickly how un-crisp 1440p looks on 32", and how much it annoys me, so I sold it not long after. Moral of the storey is within the 1st seven words of this comment. 😀
Better 27 ?
@@sebastienmalerba8685 Yes, in my opinion, most definitely.
Unless it's 32 inch at 4k but then that's a different storey.
@@peterhoran4939 thanks a lot :) i have 32 4k but hard to drive game ! Thanks again :) !
I sold my pg279qm after i bought this screen. Both colours and details were better on the pg329q... ppi is more noticeable when you go 4k or you have a "pro monitor" over 300 ppi.
Pixel pitch on the pg279qm is 0.233mm and 0.277mm on the pg329q. That's def. not something you'll notice in games.
I've got the 4k version and it's a god tier monitor 🤩
So it's like every other 32" monitor except very expensive. Wake me up when the 4k 120Hz 32" panels get here.
With hdmi 2.1 for my Series X.
Wake me up when 120hx+ oled monitors are here.
Wake me up when you can get hardware that can happily run that too. Then actually be able to buy it lol.
Yeah, I bought a 1440p 144Hz FreeSync HDR 600 27" monitor for less than 500 euros 2 years ago. Also with Quantum dot even! Sure it's a bit smaller, but I'll take the sharpness every day. I'll upgrade when it makes sense. I really don't get why this monitor should cost 700$. I mean, that gets you a really nice GPU (in normal times*).

I’ve been running my rtx 3080 for about 8 months now with a 1080p monitor so it’s Nice to be able to take more advantage of all that horse power with this monitor
Hi five. 8th month on my rtx3070 as well on a 2012 1080p VN panel.
Top-tier monitor with top-tier pricetag
I want more 1440p monitors why is everyone skipping straight to 4k?
I find the lack of high refresh monitors with proper HDR more concerning. Something is seriously wrong with the monitor market if a freaking TV (LG 48CX) is the best and cheapest HDR gaming display.
For real I'm stuck looking for a decent 1440p monitor under 500 and my options are all the GL850 with different names (i.e. lenovo, viewsonic, etc)
Productivity for example. In my case the difference 1440p and 2160p means 2 more virtual machines opened or an extra pdf document.
For gaming? 1440p with higher refresh rates, no doubt
@@robertserro8910 Gigabyte has a pretty good 1440p 27inch 165hz monitor for $329 if you're looking for something like that
Nobody skipped 1440p been a thing for a long time. We’re on 4k because content is being produced with that resolution in mind.

Plz don’t tell me they’re about to get botted and scalped like GPUs. Almost no sites have this in stock :(
How about "Back Light Bleeding"?
My previous king ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q had terrible backlight bleed, so I had to replace it 2 times, and still have very bad bleeding.
IPS panel... Always bleeding light. Never a black panel. If you want beautiful contrast and deep black, chose VA panel or Oled. IPS have crazy colors because because IPS panels have crazy cd /m2. But all this density of light is not blocked, so black are Grey. Only VA panels can control that. My tv is Sony HDR 400 with Va panel... Blacks are... Blacks, no light bleeds. And it cost me 600 euros only.
@@nicolasgrangeonhandpanandd514 What are you talking about is "IPS glowing".
IPS Backlight bleeding is issue where light bleeding from edges of the screen.
@@Brain64cores yes you're right. I was thinking that you spoke about that. I know perfectly what is bleeding light... It's trully a bad thing in dark sessions.
I remember getting a Acer IPS 1440p 144hz monitor for $330. It was an absolute steal
4K, 32 inch, 120 hz+, IPS, 98+% coverage of the sRGB spectrum, is the specs of my dream monitor.
It's so close!

I’ll be ordering this monitor today then!
@@itsnicolesheila9265 You won’t regret it!
linus: 1440p is not enough for 32"
me: using 1080p on 27"
1080p at 27”?? 🤮🤮
Also, does saying the video is sponsored by ASUS count for an entire advertisement posing as a video? This Canuck has fooled us into watching an 8 minute commercial.

Is no one gonna talk about that sick custom loop ITX build he has hooked up?!?
I bought one. It should be here later today. I play on series X. After shit loads of internet shopping for a 32 inch 1440p IPS monitor, this seemed like the best monitor for the money. They're only 350 now.

Linues not understanding the budget of his audience episode #11526:
I mean, apparently there's some people here complaining that it's not 4K. There will always be people to complain.
I've always seen these and LTT videos as showing premium products and features that will trickle down to less expensive products. They'll sometimes be an incredible value product in which case that gets a showcase, but there's not much point showing just a reasonably good 1080p 120hz monitor just because its less expensive because it would just make for such a boring video. So this monitor has good coverage from Qdot and ips which most reasonably priced monitors will have in 2 years, and now you know to look out for that.
It's a sponsored video, so... 🤷🏼♂️
Linus says it's $700, but anytime anything neat is posted on TH-cam to la large backing(half a million views in two days), the price magically goes up.

Aaaaand now it's $2000 for the included link, sold out in a few others, a couple have yet to be hit.
The Acer with the same panel is quite nice too

Monitor: 32", 1440p. Well ..
Not even 240hz like the g7 and worse color gamut even tho the G7 is a VA and this asus is a IPS, lmao.
@@sqlevolicious more expensive as well.. my G7 is in the return window and I did wonder if this was better but I will keep my G7.
This is just the new iteration of my current pg279q....and its exactly what I've been looking for
Did you get it? Currently considering the same upgrade as the pg279q is looking aged
I use a 1440p monitor with my Xbox Series X, and I love it. I don't think I'd notice any difference on a 4k monitor from the distance I sit.
