I’ve been using it for a while since I got it. So far so good. The first day I was having random 2 seconds black screens, I was freaking out, but that was gone after I swapped my previous TV HDMI cable for the HDMI 2.1 cable that came with the monitor. The 10bit mode only kicks in when you activate the HDR of the Screen Preferences, and at this mode you can’t dim the brightness, it only can be done when it’s at 8bit mode. The colors are great and the difference of each mode is obviously noticeable. The speakers are pretty much weak, it takes a silent space if you want to hear something clearly, you’ll be forced to turn volume to 100%. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong but the max refresh rate is 120Hz not 144Hz. The heat that emits is pretty noticeable in your face after several hours. It bugs me that there’s just a single firmware update. I thought there were a few since this is like a model launched 2 years ago, the dimming when using the 10bit mode is very needed. Overall it’s a great 4K 120Hz, 10bit, HDMI 2.1 monitor with speakers. The new coming models are ways overpriced.
@@WarlordDestroyer Hello everything is fine?! I'm from Brazil and I recently bought this monitor. Did you update its firmware? I saw that there are firmwares for the PG32UQ version but not for the PG32UQR version. Thanks.
@@RodrigoMerling Greetings. Yes, after using the included HDMI 2.1 cable the random 2 second black screens were gone. After that, no problem has ever happened. It looks like there’s a single firmware available for the PG32UQR. I followed the path that the official site browser gave me to install according to the monitor model. I checked and double checked, in the end I installed it and never got to know what improved.
@@dodo5257-v3f True. The only way this monitor gives you 144Hz is through DisplayPort. Just read it some days ago. It even says that 155Hz can be achieved if overclocking the GPU.
Could you tell me where you got the firmware update specifically for this ROG Swift PG32UQR monitor? I can't find an update for it. Only for the ROG Swift PG32UQ without the "R". I'm having problems with my HDMI port and would like to try to solve it by updating my firmware. Thank you very much!
@@RodrigoMerling It seems it’s the very same firmware for the model that ends in Q. There’s only a single firmware. Asus Aura Sync will point out. It’s tricky, but once the software tells you the path you just install it. There wasn’t any noticeable change or data sheet after it’s done anyways.
I just got one and it's missing those standoffs for the vesa mount. Tech support is trying to find them lol. Was wondering if you know the length of them, seems like it will probably be easier to find it myself if I knew the length. 5:03
I was taking a look at the digital manual “2.3 Detaching the arm/stand (for VESA wall mount)” and there it says M4 0.7 with a length of 10mm. But those look more like 15mm which confuses me. Sadly I don’t have the exact dimensions of those standoffs.
@@RodrigoMerling The firmware name at the Asus page for the ROG Swift PG32UQR is… [ASUS_PG32U_WHQL_Driver] It weights 9.84 KB and it was released in 2022/07/04. When I press the joystick like button and take a look at System Setup Information it says that my firmware version is V011.
With the stand that comes… No, it can’t. Maybe with an arm bracket. But I’m not sure if there’s a way to change the direction of what’s being displayed.
I’ve been looking to get this one but couldn’t find any good videos for it! I might get this one now if I can, thanks!

@@WarlordDestroyer I think if you try Display port cable, it should put it to 144hz

@@WarlordDestroyer 10mm is the length of the screw that goes into the standoff, to me they look more like 32mm at least
What is the firmware version of your monitor?
@@RodrigoMerling I’ll check it once I turn my PC on again.

@@WarlordDestroyer Thank you very much, I will take a look.
This monitor can stand vertically?
With the stand that comes… No, it can’t. Maybe with an arm bracket. But I’m not sure if there’s a way to change the direction of what’s being displayed.
