Wow. What is it about this particular monitor that makes it worth the hefty price tag?3k with tax![]()
I don’t know and at this point I’m too afraid to askWow. What is it about this particular monitor that makes it worth the hefty price tag?
Wow, your in for one hell of a treat! Congrats.I never made it to Micro Center, but mine is arriving tomorrow. It will be my first time to game above 1080 (technically I run at 1200.) I hope it is great!
You look like a good candidate for the QN90B 50 or 55. It's a beast of a display.Hello everyone, I own a PG32UQX , and I am quite happy and satisfied. I would like to have a slightly bigger and glossy panel though, I would be fine with even a 55" so very different in size that I have had before.
Do you think samsung S95C could be a worthy replacement for the pg32? In the past several times I went back from an oled (lg cx, c1 etc) because I was never satisfied with the brightness. I have read and seen videos around where it is inferred that the samsung s95c will be much improved in terms of brightness. I wanted to know your opinion on this.
Thanks for advice, but i don't want a VA. If i have to quit the PG32 i want an oled glossy panel, with a good brightness and without an aggressive ABL / ASBL system. Untill that i feel good wiht my pg32You look like a good candidate for the QN90B 50 or 55. It's a beast of a display.
You need Asus Armory Crate installed... then you can display a wide range of items. I use mine for GPU Temp, CPU temp and FPS Counter.Sprung how do you have the CPU Temp show up on the little OLED screen on the monitor? Does that require Aura Sync or some 3rd party program?
Even with blooming PG32UQX easily obliterates whatever OLED you got. OLED loses tons of color and contrast at HDR. The accuracy on OLED is a lot lower. The SDR on PG32UQX can even have more range on OLED HDR. All you can get from OLED is a little fast but dim SDR experience that even puts off competitive players.OLED over this slow abysmal of blooming everyday of the week.
"Obliterates whatever OLED"... There're only a few things it does better than OLED: Brightness, Color Coverages (no longer the case with QD-OLED in play), no Burn-in, and take a very long time to degrade.

Whatever OLED you got is far from accurate than PG32UQX. OLED doesn't have more accuracy if it cannot hold brightness. The accuracy of brightness and contrast will drop off the chart."Obliterates whatever OLED"...

Other than these aspects, it's a complete mismatch. OLED shits on FALD Mini-LED LCDs 9/10 period.
Only MicroLED, QD-MicroLED, True QNED, QDEL/EL-QD, and True 3D Display can beat it.
Thank you very much for this comparison. It was this kind of problem that made me give up OLED to push me to buy the PG32UQX although very expensive. I've been meaning to ask you, do you think the upcoming QD oled TVs like s95c or the a95l will also be struggling like this?Just pulled out the dng raw capture file. Get the jxr HDR images. The captured data is enough to compare the image accuracy between HDR1000 monitors like FALDL PG35VQ vs OLED like AW3423DW.
It's always the FALD monitor like PG35VQ look much closer to the original HDR images. OLED loses at least two times dynamic range with only a few peak highlights that barely reach 400nits.
These displays have firmware with ABL in it. If you can dial the firmware to control the ABL then they can do fullfield at max brightness without any drop. With an extra QD layer the brightness can be pushed to 2000nits only in the lab so they can barely look as bright as PG32UQX. It's a matter how Samsung decide to push it with burn-in prevention.Thank you very much for this comparison.

I recently saw some classy tech videos where he showed how QDOLED actually manage to hold brightness quite well over time. It would be great to see a comparison like you did, between the PG32UQX and the modern oled TVs that will be released soon.
Actually, the only real thing I miss and wish the PG32UQX had is a GLOSSY panel, which I find really fabulous compared to a matte one. And also an increased size such as a 42" or 55" at max
Ok perfect, so there is hope that this year the various TVs coming out, can at least come close to our pg32 in terms of brightness. Thank you and let's hope for the evolution of this technology. At the same time I also notice a refinement of FALD technology, with many more zones, and hopefully in the future we will have monitors with 10 thousand zones and very fast in handling.These displays have firmware with ABL in it.

Also a TV is not a monitor. The advantage of a bigger size TV is that it's easier to make to output more brightness. When it comes down to 32" with denser pixels the situation is still the same.
When HDR is enabled. The gamma, dark boost, sdr presets are supposed to be locked.Hey guys, I just picked this bad boy up. I upgraded to Windows 11 for the Auto HDR settings.
I'm loving it. This is a better step up than 144hz. Not as good as getting my first SSD though.
When HDR is enabled, I noticed a lot of my display options get greyed out. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?
I read there was a way in Windows 10.
Coo, thanks. Time to stop overthinking and start enjoying this thing.When HDR is enabled. The gamma, dark boost, sdr presets are supposed to be locked.
It is amazing monitor... games have never looked better at 4K. If you have the card to drive it, its an absolutely smooth experience too. Enjoy.Coo, thanks. Time to stop overthinking and start enjoying this thing.

I am using YCbCr444 and only have limited dynamic range available.
Does anyone know why that is?
Also I'm seeing HDR-ST2084 under EOTF. Someone mentioned BT 2100.

Lastly FYI.
Amazon has this monitor at $1,799 renewed with a 4 year protection warranty via asurion.
Might be a good deal.
Bet you'd be waiting around for service on that warranty.
Set to RGB (No need to use YCbCr444 in Windows 11 for gaming or movies on this monitor). RGB will give you full range HDR, and you can actually set your color to 12bpc.View attachment 558627

I just changed mine from 10 to 12. Is there any downsides to doing this?Set to RGB (No need to use YCbCr444 in Windows 11 for gaming or movies on this monitor). RGB will give you full range HDR, and you can actually set your color to 12bpc.![]()

Going back to older games is a treat. Recently played Titanfall 2 again and with Auto HDR on it looked amazing. Gotta love Auto HDR.I just want to say I am really loving this monitor. Yes I know it can bloom around the mouse pointer while I am doing my day job with HDR turned off, but its really not a big deal. The gaming and media is great. I am currently playing CyberPunk 2077 for the first time and its just gorgeous. Even old games like Subnautica look great. Just last night I was using Kodi / Seren to watch the fight scenes in Rocky I and II and I was surprised to find I could select sources with HDR. They must have been blueray remasters. They looked great!
For real. I launched Arkham Origins and was treated to a nice little auto HDR function automatically. Game looks absolutely fantastic for it's age.Going back to older games is a treat. Recently played Titanfall 2 again and with Auto HDR on it looked amazing. Gotta love Auto HDR.

RGB is what you want over DP1.4 DSC for full range. Monitor is true 10-bit, but can do 12-bit FRC. I say set it to 12bit and forget about it. You're likely not going to run into 12bit content at all gaming, but on the off chance you do outside gaming, you can do it. It does not hurt anything or distort anything by having it on. It uses the same bandwidth as 10bit on this monitor.Agree that AutoHDR is an amazing feature. Makes an old turd like GTA V look amazing (w/ mods of course).
Didn't realize the color settings should be RGB - I thought YCbCr444 was the "full/maximum" color range(?). Also, is this monitor really 12-bit or...? So RGB + 12-bit is the way to go?
Thats the lowest in awhile... I got mine in December of 2022 for $2379 at Micro Center with an amazon price match.Price drop to $2,299 @ B&H (reputable NYC brick and mortar retailer)

HDR doesn't matter for neither YCbCR/BT1866 gamma nor sRGB color space because HDR on PG32UQX uses ST2084 Gamma/EOTF + Rec.2020 color space.View attachment 558627
