If you’re the kind of person who puts doing work ahead of playing games, you’ll understand why I think the Asus ROG Swift PG32UQX (go.pcworld.com/pq32) might be the perfect monitor.
Announced at CES 2020 (not 2021!) and finally due to ship by the end of May, the ROG Swift PG32UQX is a feature-packed panel possessing just about every acronym you can find, including miniLED, DisplayHDR 1400, IPS, 10-bit, G-Sync Ultimate, 144Hz, and 4K.
That’s probably just alphabet soup to regular people, so let me translate it for someone who works more than they game— but is tired of staring at compromise every day in the form of some random 1080p LCD.
The top feature of the ROG Swift PG32UQX is its use of miniLEDs. These smaller, highly efficient light sources are still rare in PCs—we just saw the MSI Creator 17, the first laptop with a miniLED display (go. pcworld.com/crt7). Each of those miniLEDs means the ROG Swift carries a DisplayHDR 1400 logo and can hit a peak 1,400 nits in its 1,152 zones.
You have to see that brightness in game to appreciate it. I actually got to see the preproduction version (go.pcworld.com/ prvr) as far back as CES 2020. Let me just say that when there’s an explosion or a burning pile of wood in a video game, you don’t just see it—you feel it, in person.
