Don’t be fooled. It doesn’t. Text is not good enough and appears blurred/fuzzy on white background, you’d be better off with an older panel such as 27GP950 for text clarity.
Watching this video with my pg32ucdp freshly acquired. It kills death. I went from a pg278q to this monitor, it's beyond my expectations. Definitely worth the price.
I was watching someone play dead space remake on the pg32ucdp and it did not look impressive I don't know if it was the lights on or what but I have one on the way I am compare it to the odyssey neo g9 57
A nice idea and would suit people like myself who end up going down that rabbit hole of monitor research and can't decide which to opt for. I currently use 2k 27" which for the most part is fine but then I get that urge for in your face esport sweat gaming and prefer a 24" for that. It'll be interesting to see the longevity in the simulation as I expect it to have its problems. The price is obviously high but let's be honest, they're targeting an audience which has spent over £3k on a PC to achieve 240hz on a 4k monitor to begin with. A top review as always Dubbed, let's see if other manufacturers follow this trend.
@@brettbradley1855 thanks for sharing, and agreed it's aimed at those who can afford it; I still think most even with top end GPUs will still struggle to output 240hz at 4K lol. And thank you for the kind comment, glad you enjoyed the review!
I'm getting this monitor next week, got to test it out in store and love it! I just wish they'd make it in larger size; 38" would be ideal for me. But it was between this or LG C4 tv and I decided to get this
@@TotallydubbedHD Thanks! So far been flawless! The only nitpick is the absolute ridiculous way of having to use a separate cable for firmware update lol
Did that native resolution issue ever go away in your Nvidia Control panel when using the Aspect Control feature for a 24.5" screen? I am so close to buying this monitor as mainly play competitive FPS games but like having the 4k option as well
Running the monitor in simulated 24 or 27 inch will 100% lead to a darker rectangle with said sizes permanently burned into the screen. Black bars on current OLEDs is a dumb idea.
@@HighestDepthyou’re right, but thats exactly where the issue is. Its called inverse burn in. The parts that are showing black are not being used, while the other parts are degrading. Eventually, when in full screen, the parts that were black bars would be brighter than the rest of the screen.
if you have to compare this monitor to the MSI MPG 271QRX 360hz, which one do you prefer for competitive gaming and work. And in terms of the feeling of fluidity, which one do you prefer? and one last question, is there a significant difference between 1440p and 4K?
If you have no issue with your eye sight etc yes the 27 inch is the way to if your monitor is close to you if the monitor is far away than this monitor is better since it depends on distance and your second question 1440p has 3.7 million pixels and 4k has 8.3 million pixels so when it comes to clearity 4k is way better so yes of you sit close to your monitor than chose 27 inch but if you sit bit far than 32 is Way to go and sorry for my English if any more questions ask away
thanks2, actually the game experience wasnt exactly like that since i was using amd vsr and what displayed to the led wasnt same as video result, which is great i often surprised myself too after record and watch the 'better' result
The text on a (dusty looking) white background is so fuzy and hazy on my PG32UCDP I cannot look at this at all in the daytime when using as a production device. This is noticably more blurred and fuzzy than my older 27GP950 but to the extent where I dont even want to look at the PG32UCDP with anything on a white background. However, on a darker background everything looks good. I’m considering the glossy panel of the PG32UCDM without the aggressive AG matte coating.
@@Gekko858 odd, didn't have an issue. The other WOLEDs I've tested are far worse for text clarity. If you're having an issue with this panel, you might want to look into a QD-OLED or a regular LCD instead.
This is the best review I've seen about this model. I have a question for you; do you see vertical lines on the screen when the browser is in dark mode? A friend of mine shared the form, vertical lines at about 10 cm intervals.
How does the 24.5 inch mode compare to the LG version in terms of sharpness? Does it look better/ would it be worth to get the asus for that specific mode?
Hello. I wanted to ask if you have also tested the AI features on the monitor. According to the website, they should be available starting in August. I am likely going to purchase this monitor because it perfectly fits my needs. Currently, I am using two monitors, one 4K and another high refresh rate monitor from Zowie. However, I want to reduce my setup to a single monitor, and this one seems perfect for that.
@@florianrubner7906 I did test the ones you'll be able to see via the OSD, but much like the crosshair functions etc, I didn't like using them. Was a bit hit and miss too, but I didn't extensively test it. And yeah, seems like it's a good match for you then!
Great review, we are lucky to have you. I play cod and have a 3080 gpu waiting for the 5090 will it play OK on the 1080 mode any help on this would be great
@@stonie8629 I've not tried that model, but honestly wasn't overly taken back by the last glossy OLED that I reviewed - with that said, you'll get even deeper blacks with a glossy, with colours looking even better too.
@@darrendavies1102 yup you won't have any issues, might get away at 4K too, but you'll need to lower your settings to output 240hz consistently. And thank you!
@@TotallydubbedHD thanks for the response! I recently had a 1440p 360hz OLED which was QD-OLED, i feel like the colors popped a little more with that one even compared to my current 4k WOLED, ill have to make up my mind before the return period ends on this PG32UCDP
@TotallydubbedHD I'm a physical media collector. I have a ton of blu rays and 4k UHD discs in my collection. Many of these discs display 4k content in Dolby Vision which looks amazing when using an external 4k player, which I have. A monitor capable of dolby vision gives me the capability of having a full media set up at my desk with a monitor like the Alienware. Most reviewers have missed the boat on this topic and only focus on windows behavior in game. A dolby vision monitor is ideal for a dolby vision and dolby atmos set up using the Earc port.
I bought this monitor and returned it in 30 minutes. Next to my QDOLED Asus 4k 240hz it is not even close. WOLED sucks as colors are so dull and HDR brightness not as impactful. Nope
@@king_gt7996 maybe you didn't have enough time with it? Colours are anything but dull, and HDR brightness hitting over 1k nits, with TB400 certification to make it 'impactful'. Sorry, can't agree with your comment, but each to their own!

It has horrendous scaling and low resolution anyway
What do u mean bro? Black means nothing is showing = no pixels are burning, so it should not harm anything. Correct me if im mistaken!
The average Joe won’t run into this issue.
@@HighestDepth that's a good point! Even then I can't imagine most always running this monitor in its simulated profile.
@@HighestDepthyou’re right, but thats exactly where the issue is. Its called inverse burn in. The parts that are showing black are not being used, while the other parts are degrading. Eventually, when in full screen, the parts that were black bars would be brighter than the rest of the screen.

I believe the LG 32GS95UE-B.AUS was the 1st with the duel mode.
Yup, but I never said this was the first.

if only it was glossy, had proper eotf tracking and brightness :c
This is a gaming monitor. No gamer wants a glossy screen. lol

is there no good monitor with traditional oled?..

Is it worth importing one from new egg or if no rush would u recomend for the uk release? i cant find anything even on speculation dates

Yet u can't even buy them in the uk 😢
The WitchCraft about it is that it Cost 1500€ 🥶🥶

imo 32 inch is way to big for 1080, they should have done 1440p as at 32 inches 1440p has ab the same pixel density 1080p has at 25 inches.
