The ROG PG32UQ is a high-end gaming monitor from ASUS. Designed with serious gamers and content creators in mind it boasts impressive specs, a sleek design, and an extensive feature list, it stands tall in an over saturated gaming monitor market. I've spent a fair amount of time using this as my daily driver putting it through its paces for both gaming and content creation so let's talk about why the ROG PG32UQ should be your next monitor.
The PG32UQ boasts a very premium design that reflects ROG’s pedigree in the gaming scene. The monitor features a sturdy and tough looking (tripod design) stand, ensuring a stable modern look. The stand provides excellent ergonomics, allowing for extensive adjustment in both height and viewing angle. The stand really does set the monitor off and was enough to convince me to ditch the dual monitor stand to give this pride of place on my desk.
The back of the monitor showcases Asus’s signature ROG brand logo with RGB lighting. This can be customised using the Aura Sync software or through the in-built menu. This adds a touch of personalisation making it the perfect centrepiece for any gaming setup.
Overall the build quality is excellent, probably the most premium feeling monitor I've tested. It’s built with high quality materials that really give it a heavy duty, durable feel.
The PG32UQ features a 32-inch IPS panel, with a 4K resolution providing sharp and detailed visuals. It supports HDR600, which offers a peak brightness of 600 nits, which enhances the display's dynamic range and delivers deep blacks and really vivid colours. Of all the monitorsIi've tested, the PG32UQ has the best range of colours making it not only perfect for gaming, but content creation too.
The IPS technology ensures minimal colour distortion from almost any angle, and the 144Hz refresh rate, combined with the 1ms response time, ensures an extremely smooth and responsive gameplay experience by reducing any motion blur and ghosting. It also supports variable refresh including G-SYNC and Freesync Premium Pro.
In terms of raw performance the PG32UQ excels in delivering an immersive experience. The 144Hz refresh rate is perfect for fast paced games, providing fluid motion and gives you the competitive edge. The 1ms response time reduces your input lag enough to ensure that your movement is punchy and precise.
The 4K resolution combined with the large 32-inch screen offers an expansive and detailed view, making it perfect for both gaming and productivity. The HDR support brings games to life with much better contrast and more realistic lighting effects making the most of the latest technologies such as ray tracing and volumetric lighting etc.
The PG32UQ is also perfect for desktop console gaming. Of course most people will play their console on a larger screen such as a TV, but if you prefer to sit at a desk and use a monitor, the PG32UQ is perfect. Having HDMI 2.1 ports allows this monitor to display current gen consoles such as PS5 and Xbox Series X at an impressive 4K 120fps for supported games. In addition to HDMI 2.1 we get display port 1.4 for maximum resolution and frame rates for PC gaming. Aside from the display connectivity, the PG32UQ also contains a feature called KVM Switch. KVM Switch allows users to control multiple devices using a single keyboard and mouse for improved positivity.
Sitting at the higher end of the market the PG32UQ’s price reflects its high end features and performance. While the investment is a pretty big one, this monitor absolutely justifies its price tag. Its outstanding display performance, extensive features and its overall build quality make this the perfect monitor for just about anyone.
Overall, the ASUS ROG PG32UQ is an absolute top tier gaming monitor that excels in almost every aspect. From a stunning 4K display, its high refresh rate, and its comprehensive feature set. It delivers an exceptional gaming experience. While it comes at a hefty cost, the investment is well worth it for those who demand the best of the best.
