ASUS had also decided to showcase its screens. We were thus able to rediscover the ROG Swift PRO PG248QP Esports Gaming as well as the Strix XG49WCR Gaming model. But above all, it was an opportunity for ASUS to present its new OLED displays.

ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM :

The ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM is the world’s first 32-inch OLED 4K gaming monitor, featuring an ultra-fast refresh rate of 240 Hz and a response time of 0.03 ms (GTG). It takes advantage of QD-OLED technology to deliver a maximum brightness of 1,000 nits, outstanding color performance, a wide color gamut, exceptional contrast and improved sub-pixel layout for clearer, more legible text. The PG32UCDM features an innovative cooling system, including a custom-designed heatsink and graphene film on the panel to protect the OLED panel and reduce the risk of burn-in. The intelligent KVM switch allows users to control two devices with a single keyboard-mouse combo, without the need for additional hardware or software. Users can use Picture-In-Picture mode with keyboard shortcut keys to switch devices on the fly, maintaining control with a single keyboard and mouse. Finally, the PG32UCDM offers rich connectivity options, including DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1 and USB Type C with power delivery. Its estimated launch date is around Q1 2024.

The ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM is an ultra-wide (3440 x 1440) 34-inch 800R curved OLED gaming monitor that offers a 240 Hz refresh rate, a gray-gray response time (GTG) of 0.03 ms and incorporates a custom heat sink to lower operating temperatures and reduce the risk of burn-in. The PG34WCDM offers a maximum brightness of 1,300 nits and is DisplayHDR True Black 400 compatible, while its G-SYNC compatibility ensures ultra-smooth, tear-free visuals with low latency. Integrated Smart KVM allows users to control two devices with one keyboard and mouse, while USB 3.2 connectivity enables ultra-fast file transfers to two input sources. The PG34WCDM offers extensive connectivity, including DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1 and USB Type-C with 90 W of power. This model should be available in the first quarter of 2024.
