ASUS ROG Swift PG32UQ, 32"

Der ASUS ROG Swift PG32UQ kann mit einer umfangreichen Ausstattung aufwarten, will damit aber nicht nur PC- sondern auch Konsolen-Gamer glücklich machen. Ob das UHD-Display mit maximal 144 Hz, G-Sync und HDR 600 auch auf dem Schreibtisch überzeugen kann, klären wir in unserem umfangreichen Test.

It was a little tricky when trying to weigh up an overall conclusion for the PG32UQ to be honest. There’s no denying that it’s a very good screen overall and offers a combination of specs and features that is very much in demand. But if we’re being honest we were a little disappointed with a couple of areas that prevented this from being exceptional. The 4K resolution and high refresh rate is definitely very well suited to a screen of this size and we really like that combination on a nice 32″ display. The image is crisp and sharp, and it’s also possible to use without OS scaling if you want (or at least less scaling), which cannot be said for 27″ 4K models. That combination of a high resolution AND a high refresh rate is great. Gaming is the primary market for this screen and on the whole it does very well. You’ve got a bright, colourful and vivid image for sure thanks to the wide gamut backlight, a high refresh rate for very good motion clarity and super-low input lag. The 155Hz overclock mode was a pleasant surprise to find and worked pretty well, and the support for both AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-sync is always welcome. Good to see the screen also pass NVIDIA’s ‘G-sync Compatible’ scheme to give reassurances around VRR performance. The response times were one area we were a bit disappointed in, mainly because there is an advertised variable overdrive feature that doesn’t seem to deliver. Not having a single overdrive setting experience was a disappointment, although it still leaves it in the same category as most other adaptive-sync screens anyway. The response times could have also been a bit faster we thought at the upper end of the refresh rate range, and it seems recent AUO panels have started to lag a bit behind alternatives from other suppliers for some reason. To be fair, the real-world motion clarity was still very good, but we would like to have seen a more consistent performance here when it came to pixel response times.
