Could you start to test kvm functionality? It’s important for many people. If work at home for example, connecting work laptop with usb-c and have it working easy to switch between desktop computer. Earlier generations of monitors had this feature but it was badly implemented. Hence reviewing it is important.
Ive just received my monitor. I tested it with a macbook pro and a desktop windows pc. Ive got a keyboard and mouse connected. It switches automatically with 0 issues for me. All ive done is enable the Auto KVM toggle in the monitor settings.
I wish 32" OLED pricing wasn't so messed up in Norway, Dell is the only option unless you fancy spending between 300-600$ more on the other partner models.

Thanks for the review Tim. I have PG34WCDM and it has same issue with HDR, except no HDR400 mode. I wish you would have covered that in your PG34WCDM review. At least now I know it's real issue and can point to the source. SDR is really good so overall I'm happy with the purchase.
I like the LG models stand which is more adult looking and compatible with a range of desk situations and the fact that it has high quality speakers built into the screen for extra minimal setup. I purposely waited for the ASUS version to come out so I could compare the two, I'll be waiting regardless until Black Friday/Cyber Monday time to purchase, maybe even catch an open box
Yes, I really appreciate the quality built in speakers in my current IPS 4K LG monitor as I use them throughout every day as I don't have room for speakers on my desk.

Price here is... not worth it at this price. Why are EU prices for OLED so ridiculous vs USA pricing? MSI takes the cake on that but now other brands are following suit. And before anyone bitches about taxes, I'm taking that into account.
4:42 I don't like how QD-OLED warps the text. For example if you look at the M, its right leg appears nearly twice as big as its left leg. I much prefer the blurry text on a WOLED panel.
To me there’s not much difference in text blur from this review. I have the UCDP and disappointed atm due to the haze/grain/blur I see any text on a white background. Darker backgrounds are good but the haze and blur of the white makes my eyes feel blurry after…. Especially compared to my older 27GP950 model. I’m considering switching to UCDM and managing the lighting since I don’t have a lot of windows on my screens. So much compromise whatever you do on a 32” OLED…. At $1300 too! Maybe I’ll give up on 32” OLEDs as there are cons to each. Glossy WOLED I’ll wait for. For now I’ll just get the cheaper PG27AQDP at 1440p480.
These prices are still way too much. Managed to get a Samsung G80SD for £760 in the UK (£720 after selling off the free SSD). I'd imagine there being similar type of deals in other regions. Any chance you'll get around to reviewing these new OLEDs from Samsung, Tim?
@@MortyTheAbrams Great. The image quality is great, SDR and HDR and usable in daylight with no reflections. 240hz looks so smooth in desktop and games. Plus the remote makes it so much better to use than a regular monitor. There's also a 21:9 toggle feature thats great for competitve games where it changes the resolution to 1600P ultrawide and letterboxes the screen. And because OLED, they're perfect blacks. If you can get for cheaper and don't care for things like KVM or DP 2.0 its certainly worth considering.
I have been using a 48 LG Oled as a gaming monitor (got it before oled monitor's were mor common). Ready to upgrade it, just don't know if i want a 32 inch or wait for 4k ultrawide oled. Good review.
Still no review of the 32 inch Samsung Odyssey OLED G8? It seems that since it is the only matte screen QD-OLED that it might have been something different to review.
Waste of time reviewing it, send it into the trash where it belongs. A 4K OLED display with a matte coating is a spectacularly dumb idea. What's the point of running 4K and bottlenecking the clarity with a haze/grain/blur filter on top of it.
i have g6 oled and destroys my TN VA IPS panels from past.. in motion clarity I can read blurbuster normal i see all lines from Blur busters by my eyes... Like is copy past :D It is not like he makes a video picture and u see how it looks no, it looks more clear with eyes. It has VRR control it means 0 flickers with VRR on very little input lag u get with vrr on and control on. My g7 had with Vrr ON And control VRR on 17msec.. with hdr... And in day you can use it normal there is no lights on monitor and Keyboard and pc is rgb no seeing lights from rgb on screen or anything. matte its more matter than my G7 it looks really black at day.
Hopefully you'll get a OLED G6 27" and be able to compare as a lower priced alternative to this ridiculous MSRP, and the FO27Q3 you reviewed last month.
Great review, I just bought the LG model at $1200! Great monitor and huge upgrade over my 27 Dell 4k ips monitor. I can't with the gaming styling on the ASUS, this isn't 2012 and I am not 16 any more... 😂😂
I am literally thinking about ordering one, just for the same reason xD How is the fan noice on it, is it audible? How do you feel about the speakers? Thanks
@@nKrandom I have a WOLED tv which is glossy and a QDOLED monitor so Ive been spoiled by glossy. But that being said Ive never actually seen the WOLED matte in person. It could grow on me. I gotta see if the best buy near me has it on display to check it out.
I would consider the ucdp if you’re not nailed to the glossy coating. So. I had the ucdm and now have the ucdp. The ucdm has some problems that are not mentioned in the reviews. Like very loud coilwhine when turned off (maybe disturb you if you’re sleeping in the same room). The ucdm has very noticeable moving horizontal scanlines in darker areas aswell. The ucdm also has the purple tint with light in the room (which could be a problem). I noticed some raised blacks even when my keyboard with rgb lights was in front of it. The lower part of it was some sort of gray/purple due to it. The ucdm is a little bit better when it comes to VRR flickering. The ucdp flickers a little bit more (in my opinion) but the ucdp has the oled anti flicker feature that helps with that flickering (in some games more than in other games). I also noticed some sort of yellow whites on the ucdm (qd oled). So it doesn’t look white like a paper. The ucdp does look white (as a paper for example) so the white doesn’t look like tinted with another color. Hopefully i could help! Have a nice day!😃
It’s not much worse, basically glossy looks better than matte but it’s not a huge difference. Matte is just focused on if you game in bright areas. But it’s not a huge difference like I said so it shouldn’t be a deal breaker
Was gonna wait for this model, but I pulled the trigger on the LG model since I got it for $980 brand new after discount, I occasionally use the built in speakers and wouldn’t use any of the features Asus has added, albeit they are good additions. I also calibrated my display myself so that’s a non issue. Safe to say I made the right call, fortunately.
@@whatsuphelp I used a spectrophotometer from x-rite. I would suggest using a more reasonable colorimeter though, much cheaper, I would’ve opted for that, but my friend lent me his.
Every time I watch these videos I forget that my Alienware ultrawide OLED being $800 when I bought it is the main reason it’s the best, because these prices are insane for what you’re getting.
@10:15 what happens to the picture quality if I have to disable adaptive sync while emulating 27 inch? I get over 480 frames in 1080p anyways so its not a big deal right?
At 13:23, this shows what I've explained to a few nerdy friends. You're essentially getting the same visual presentation or visual motion clarity of twice the hertz by using ELMB / BFI tech, assuming you turn the backlight / screen off for 50% of the time. Not all games can run at >300 FPS. If we can figure out a backlight that is both bright enough and can flicker fast & clean enough, if we manage a 75% off / 25% on time, then we could quadruple the _'effective'_ FPS in terms of motion clarity. Imagine playing a game that only puts out 175 FPS consistently, but it's going to feel like 700 Hz. They key is making sure the 25% 'on' time is towards the end of the pixel refresh window, when it's stabilized, so it's showing the intended color. Don't think this will ever work out in OLED tech, so crossing fingers for traditional. Maybe in a few yrs. Maybe Nvidia PULSAR will push the industry further.
Have they not got the coatings the wrong way around? What I mean is that, QD Oled reflects a purple colour, so, would that not be better to have a Matt finish to reduce this rather than glossy, and the WOled reflects black, so, could support a glossy screen better?
"LG has only claimed they cover burn in over email and not specificly stated this on this website and i dont think this is good enough" Amen! when you're spending an unholy amount on such an item. no pun intended. Bless your excellent work Tim!.
Would you be able to run your suite of test on an S95D or C? I know you don't do TV's but I would love to see how the best TV QD-OLED panel compares to what we are getting in our monitors.
I spent a few hours last night building a comparison spreadsheet of the top 4K 240hz monitors. The LG 32GS95UE had the best brightness and 480hz option, but I see you're saying that it's overly bright. The lack of DP2.0 and worse VRR Flicker was also a worry. The Gigabyte FO32U2P was the best competitor that I was thinking to grab at MicroCenter today for $1100, due to it's DP2.0 and lower VRR Flicker. Does DSC really not matter? I was trying to avoid it. Should I just wait for the Asus PG32UCDP now that it comes with USB-C unlike the LG? I'm also worried about low brightness which is why I really wanted the LG 32GS95UE and now the Asus PG32UCDP.
I have the Gigabyte FO32U2P and Asus PG32UCDP side by side right now. The desktop experience is brighter and looks better on the Asus than the Giga, BUT the HDR clipping is INSANE on the Asus. Watching HDR video on both you can see all the clipped areas on the Asus. Even in DisplayHDR 400 True Black it's blown out. Is there no way to fix this? I'm not sure how you could recommend this with this terrible clipping unless there's some EOTF tracking fix. You will literally just see white instead of detail like on the Giga.
It would be cool to get a table, with all oled matrices, to easily navigate the lineup. For example: 34" 3440x1440 175Hz = Glare QD OLED 26.5" 2560x1440 240Hz = Matt WOLED 26.5” 2560x1440 360Hz = Glare QD OLED
I see the over brightness banding on the 34 inch PG34WCDM WOLED as well. It actually just got a new firmware update, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. It's as if every corona has an additional corona and is extremely visible in HDR gaming. I am actually getting rid of the monitor due to this.
When do we get 5k? 240hz? or maybe a 8k by 5k ultrawide? i would gladly pay early adopter fee if it provided high quality to go along with the high price!
@@S.V.23 Yet. It's actually fascinating thinking back on when they first showed off 4k back in the day with games hitting single digit framerates but everyone was still blown away. Only a matter of time till 8k becomes that new actually usable high end, very exciting
When you're comparing the brightness to the qd-oled version of this monitor, which mode did you have the qd-oled set to? You don't have that listed which could be misleading.
video design feed back. As you transition from feature to feature can you keep the same type on the same side of the video? An example would be moving from the up close pixel configuration @4:27 with QD on the left and W on the right to font clarity @4:46 with the W on the left and QD on the right. Thank you in advance
Hey Tim, could you please consider making the "more advanced calibration guide using Calman" you mentioned in the "How to calibrate your monitor" video on HUB? Thanks in advance!
I have an older LG 32" VA monitor, G-Sync, Matte, non HDR, and I love it. I only game at a maximum of 85hz, but I'm really looking into OLED. Just not sure what I want to get
The very few of us that use Tobii eye tracking have to somehow convince Asus that Tobii is fren and they need stop putting their controls bottom center so we can stick our eye tracking there.
It’s Asus, it has to be the best. Presumably with awesome HDR just like the PG27AQDM and the PG42UQ. Not even mentioning the legendary customer service.
If this was glossy, this would have been my choice.. Even though I would like to try out glossy vs matte myself. But when paying so much for an oled monitor i would like the full potential of oled to be apparent

Are there any ultrawide WOLEDs with 1800R curves?
Is a matte finish much worse than glossy if the room is dark?
It’s not much worse, basically glossy looks better than matte but it’s not a huge difference. Matte is just focused on if you game in bright areas. But it’s not a huge difference like I said so it shouldn’t be a deal breaker
I heard we're getting 27"' 4k gaming oleds next year. So I'm gonna wait. All about that DPI.
Was gonna wait for this model, but I pulled the trigger on the LG model since I got it for $980 brand new after discount, I occasionally use the built in speakers and wouldn’t use any of the features Asus has added, albeit they are good additions. I also calibrated my display myself so that’s a non issue.
Safe to say I made the right call, fortunately.
how do you calibrate with software or on hardware level?
@@whatsuphelp I used a spectrophotometer from x-rite. I would suggest using a more reasonable colorimeter though, much cheaper, I would’ve opted for that, but my friend lent me his.
What discount did you get
never bought the ucdm because the glossy screen was impossible to use in my situation, happy to see there's a matte version now
Every time I watch these videos I forget that my Alienware ultrawide OLED being $800 when I bought it is the main reason it’s the best, because these prices are insane for what you’re getting.
@10:15 what happens to the picture quality if I have to disable adaptive sync while emulating 27 inch?
I get over 480 frames in 1080p anyways so its not a big deal right?
At 13:23, this shows what I've explained to a few nerdy friends. You're essentially getting the same visual presentation or visual motion clarity of twice the hertz by using ELMB / BFI tech, assuming you turn the backlight / screen off for 50% of the time.
Not all games can run at >300 FPS. If we can figure out a backlight that is both bright enough and can flicker fast & clean enough, if we manage a 75% off / 25% on time, then we could quadruple the _'effective'_ FPS in terms of motion clarity.
Imagine playing a game that only puts out 175 FPS consistently, but it's going to feel like 700 Hz. They key is making sure the 25% 'on' time is towards the end of the pixel refresh window, when it's stabilized, so it's showing the intended color.
Don't think this will ever work out in OLED tech, so crossing fingers for traditional. Maybe in a few yrs. Maybe Nvidia PULSAR will push the industry further.
Have they not got the coatings the wrong way around?
What I mean is that, QD Oled reflects a purple colour, so, would that not be better to have a Matt finish to reduce this rather than glossy, and the WOled reflects black, so, could support a glossy screen better?
Can you review some mini led monitors please
What is the length of default DisplayPort 1.4 which is included in the box? Thanks
The MSI MAG 321UP is only $799 right now (US). Food for thought.
"LG has only claimed they cover burn in over email and not specificly stated this on this website and i dont think this is good enough"
Amen! when you're spending an unholy amount on such an item. no pun intended.
Bless your excellent work Tim!.
So the alienwear aw3225qf isnt king anymore? That was fast
Would you be able to run your suite of test on an S95D or C? I know you don't do TV's but I would love to see how the best TV QD-OLED panel compares to what we are getting in our monitors.
nice review does the subpixel layout make pc and ps5 games blurrier or is it just desktop - thanks
Why not a woled glossy option????? WHY???
When will the monitor be available for purchase? Europe
Is there always a blinking led on the button?
Will the UCDP get a Dolby Vision update at a later date?
Is there a statement from Asus on this?
What is the sensor beneath a monitor? What would happen if it will be covered?
Would love to see a review on the Samsung Oled G6
hey mate, would this black frame insertion help combat burn in?
Pg32ucdp has anti flicker right ?
I spent a few hours last night building a comparison spreadsheet of the top 4K 240hz monitors. The LG 32GS95UE had the best brightness and 480hz option, but I see you're saying that it's overly bright. The lack of DP2.0 and worse VRR Flicker was also a worry. The Gigabyte FO32U2P was the best competitor that I was thinking to grab at MicroCenter today for $1100, due to it's DP2.0 and lower VRR Flicker. Does DSC really not matter? I was trying to avoid it. Should I just wait for the Asus PG32UCDP now that it comes with USB-C unlike the LG? I'm also worried about low brightness which is why I really wanted the LG 32GS95UE and now the Asus PG32UCDP.
I have the Gigabyte FO32U2P and Asus PG32UCDP side by side right now. The desktop experience is brighter and looks better on the Asus than the Giga, BUT the HDR clipping is INSANE on the Asus. Watching HDR video on both you can see all the clipped areas on the Asus. Even in DisplayHDR 400 True Black it's blown out. Is there no way to fix this? I'm not sure how you could recommend this with this terrible clipping unless there's some EOTF tracking fix. You will literally just see white instead of detail like on the Giga.
Monitors unboxed is great with coffee in the morning. What would you recommend given all the 4K monitors for best VRR?
did you create an HDR profile in windows first, using the HDR calibration app?
It would be cool to get a table, with all oled matrices, to easily navigate the lineup. For example:
34" 3440x1440 175Hz = Glare QD OLED
26.5" 2560x1440 240Hz = Matt WOLED
26.5” 2560x1440 360Hz = Glare QD OLED
I see the over brightness banding on the 34 inch PG34WCDM WOLED as well. It actually just got a new firmware update, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
It's as if every corona has an additional corona and is extremely visible in HDR gaming. I am actually getting rid of the monitor due to this.
When do we get 5k? 240hz? or maybe a 8k by 5k ultrawide? i would gladly pay early adopter fee if it provided high quality to go along with the high price!
There is no PC that could run 240 frames at 8K lmao
@@S.V.23
Yet.
It's actually fascinating thinking back on when they first showed off 4k back in the day with games hitting single digit framerates but everyone was still blown away.
Only a matter of time till 8k becomes that new actually usable high end, very exciting
When you're comparing the brightness to the qd-oled version of this monitor, which mode did you have the qd-oled set to? You don't have that listed which could be misleading.
video design feed back. As you transition from feature to feature can you keep the same type on the same side of the video? An example would be moving from the up close pixel configuration @4:27 with QD on the left and W on the right to font clarity @4:46 with the W on the left and QD on the right.
Thank you in advance
Hey Tim, could you please consider making the "more advanced calibration guide using Calman" you mentioned in the "How to calibrate your monitor" video on HUB? Thanks in advance!
How goes the glossy coating compare to an LG c2?
I have an older LG 32" VA monitor, G-Sync, Matte, non HDR, and I love it. I only game at a maximum of 85hz, but I'm really looking into OLED. Just not sure what I want to get
please release a guide for this monitor OSD settings,color profiles and other things.. thanks for the review, ordered one for myself today.
Any plans to review any of the KTC brand monitors flooding Amazon right now? Their price makes them very attractive.
I’m so torn between the M and P models I’m not sure the 1080p will look good enough to make the higher frames worth it and prefer the glossy display.
Same here man. I think I’m gonna lean towards the M because there are better sale prices going on with that one.
@ ended up buying the M and it’s incredible!! Glossy screen is what I really wanted and the 480hz looks terrible at 1080p
The very few of us that use Tobii eye tracking have to somehow convince Asus that Tobii is fren and they need stop putting their controls bottom center so we can stick our eye tracking there.
any moniter make Netflix smoother frame rate ?? same oled TV
please review some of the INNOCN mini-LED monitors. They look interesting.
It’s Asus, it has to be the best. Presumably with awesome HDR just like the PG27AQDM and the PG42UQ. Not even mentioning the legendary customer service.
Please if the risk of burn in of this is real if I use it almost only for music production ?
Please help me
@Doctor0Who well if it happens in 5+ years I’m fine but does it ?
If this was glossy, this would have been my choice.. Even though I would like to try out glossy vs matte myself. But when paying so much for an oled monitor i would like the full potential of oled to be apparent
Does this do BFI at 240Hz UHD? How does the Ufo look like with that?
Does this anti flicker version of that monitor come to the pg 32 ucdm?
would elmb reduce burn in rate since the display's only on half the time?
The LG 32GS95UE has received a firmware update since your last review. Can you do a revisit?
How is this monitor with banding?
asus pg32ucdp support dolby vision or not ?
what are the thougts for pricing ?
