Best features in new ROG gaming monitor

Mini LED display-  

    The PG32UQX has mini LED back light with full array local dimming, someone who don't know about the mini LED displays may think what's so special about it let me explain,

    Usually LCD monitor don't display deeper blacks because the single layer of back light in LCD always emits light, so we seek the help of mini LED back light.

    In PG32UQX they solved this problem by adding thousands of mini LED's as back light, and they have grouped those LED's into 1152 zones now they can control brightness level or can even turn off individual back lights.

    So now they can display deeper blacks, Asus already had these mini LEDs in pro monitors, now they made PG32UQX with mini LEDs.

    Those mini LEDs can make the PG32UQX reach 1100 nits level of brightness steadily, the deeper blacks and high brightness level helps to improve the HDR experience of a display.

HDR experience in ROG PG32UQX-

    The HDR is the unique selling point of this display, we know that high dynamic range (HDR) is a major factor that greatly affects the quality of the display.

    A Good HDR display is a combination of colors, peak brightness and how good it can portray blacks, this display easily excels in color.

    The PG32UQX can go Up to 1600 nits of peak brightness, the dimming of the mini LED in dark areas of the display will get you deep blacks.

    Contrast of this display can go up to 4000:1 and even more than that in HDR mode, these all things come together and make it as a great gaming display,

    The PG32UQX can display the HDR games like no other display can display right now straight away you can say it is best HDR gaming monitor right now,

    HDR games like cyberpunk, battle field, can offer much more great experience in this HDR display, HDR with 4K resolution surely take the gaming experience into another level.

Color performance of the PG32UQX-

     ROG PG32UQX display made up of quantum dots IPS LCD which covers full SRGB gamut, full RGB gamut and 95.8 percent of DCI-P3 gamut coverage. so it can represent more colors. 

    The display is well color calibrated by Asus, so the display has great color accuracy. you can even use it for the productivity purpose which requires great color accuracy.

Latency and refresh rate of  ROG PG32UQX-

    This display has special modes like overdrive and extreme to reduce the latency of the display considerably, that overdrive mode reduces the latency to 4ms, 

    These latency matters to the lot of professional gamer's these display doesn't give a problem in terms of that, this monitors has 144 Hz refresh rate which offers a super smooth gaming experience,

    One thing you have to keep in  mind about refresh rate, Even the high end GPU out there in the market can't give you maximum refresh rates with 4K in this panel.

    You can easily get max refresh rate while you game in 1440p or 1080p resolution, it depends upon the GPU.

    Speaking about GPU's the PG32UQX has G-sync support, the G sync works with nvidia  graphics card which enhances the visual experience while gaming,

    The VRR support also enables the gaming in 4K also with AMD graphics card without a problem.

Build, Ports, and Controls-

    The Asus ROG PG32UQX monitor is well built from metal, and you have a solid metal stand, you can tilt and adjust the height and orientation of the display. 

    The back and bottom of the display got the iconic ROG logo & RGB lighting and design, the bezels are quite thin except the lower bezel.

    The small display in the lower bezel is the reason for its thickness, you can set various animated GIFs on that mini display or you can set it up to show important information like FPS, CPU temperature and many more things.

    You get a dial at the bottom of the display to slide through the display settings and you can select things with it,

    Speaking about the connection ports, the ROG PG32UQX got one display port 1.4 which helps to run 4K at 144Hz with HDR, and three HDMI 2.0 connections.

    They traded off HDMI 2.1 port for the G-sync module, if it had HDMI 2.1, ROG PG32UQX would have been a great console gaming monitor, still you can connect X box to the display, but i afraid you can't run it in max resolution .

    Asus claims it can run with playstation at 4K 60 FPS and x box at 120 FPS , on the top of the monitor you get a headphone jack, a USB port, a light sensor to adjust brightness and a tripod mount to fix the camera if you wanna stream the game play.
