It’s not really needed. It’s all still the same and relevant. They’ve added a new brightness boost option for HDR mode in newer firmware which we expect most people will prefer so we’d recommend trying that out. Everything else the same 😀
man I got this monitor like 2 days ago. Went from an AOC 1080p60 monitor to this beast of a screen, also first OLED Ive ever owned (besides my phone with AMOLED screen ofc). so far Im still not sure which setting to use. SDR looks better than HDR in any setting (HDR 10 or Dolby Atmos in all available settings). I didnt change anything yet myself besides the premade settings and brightness (it is really very bright, I dont understand anyone who says its not bright enough. It is way brighter than my 1080p60 IPS monitor was, I had that one on 90 to 100 all the time and I turned down my OLED to 60 yesterday. Im not in a completely dark room by any means during daytime. I dont have any sunlight shining on it tho. Atm I settled with "Racing Mode" when waching YT videos and stuff. Today, when I play the new POE league, Im not sure what I use. Yesterday when I quickly tested it, I used the "RTS/RPG mode", it looked the best, many of the other ones were too dark. I hope this video lets me increase the visual experience even further. It already looks amazing. I have to adjust my eyes and brain to a 4k screen of this size tho. Everything looks massively different.s
In win 11 settings, go to Display-Use HDR (which you should have turned on) then use the > at the end to get to the HDR settings. Use the SDR content Brightness slider to boost the screens color from a dim gray to a brighter white color.
download the official windows 11 HDR calibration tool. Also make sure you plugged in USB A to B and updated to the latest firmware (MCM105), and in the nvidia panel in resolution you need to let nvidia handle color and set it to 12 bits if using the HDMI 2.1 cable (as you should), or 10 bits if using DP 1.4 / USB-C. If your monitor look extremely grey, washed out, it's a bug. Now, don't turn on HDR if you're not watching HDR content, there's a shortcut for this : Windows + Alt + B. You can try the HDR on a youtube 4K HDR video (it has to say HDR in image quality option), this is a mindblowing difference.
Will you please do an updated best settings for the Asus PG32UCDM and also please show us how to take care of your OLED screen so you won’t get any early burn ins please 🙏
@TFTCentral When you run the WINDOWS HDR Calibration app, did you notice the FIRMWARE issue with the PG32UCDM yet? In the Max Luminance Test (with HDR enabled) it begins disappearing at only 400 or so nitts, when it shouldn't disappear until 1,000 and then it displays correctly on the MAX FULL FRAME luminance ajustment as it will disappear at exactly 1,000 nitts. ASUS needs to adjust where it cuts off luminance, because on test B in the Calibration app, it should NOT be disappearing at only 400 nitts. I have other 1,000 nitt monitors that complete this test correctly. We need to get ASUS to push an HDR firmware update to address this cut-off that occurs and to make the monitor conform with Windows HDR bettter.
It’s not something we tested and we no longer have access to the screen. But I wouldn’t be worried about it cutting anything off or causing problems. That tool doesn’t impact your peak brightness. It will just be a mismatch with the info being read from the monitor in the tool, but the scale shown is fairly meaningless
I use this monitor for my ps5 and Series X, the hdr is fantastic, i used the hdr calibration within each console to take advantage of 1,000 nits Not to mention both consoles can view anything in HDR, even if it doesn't support it.
Glad that you mention flicker while VRR. I heard that VRR flicker on OLED is unavoidable. Is that so ? What is the purpose of "g-sync compatible" cerificatation then ?
When viewing SDR content use Creator-sRGB with contrast at 75% and gamma 2.2 with brightness at your preference. When you want to consume HDR videos or games use HDR Peak 1000 or True Black 400 modes.

Mine just arrived today. I'm still not sure *why* I shouldn't leave HDR enabled? It seems much simpler than having to remember to change it for specific content.
I absolutely love this monitor! The quality and graphics are incredible, i have it connected through 2021 MacBook M1 Pro via DisplayPort 1.4-I'm consistently getting 120Hz and 165fps while gaming. However, when I switch to HDR mode, the colors seem washed out, like there's a white film or filter over the screen. In comparison, Dolby Vision displays true, vivid colors with deep blacks. Unfortunately, I can't seem to control any settings while in HDR mode, and I haven't found any guidance or tweaks for HDR on macOS, which is a bit disappointing. Despite this, I'm still very happy with the overall performance!
When you enable HDR mode you will likely see that washing out of the image for desktop and SDR applications, but it should look better when you view actual HDR content. that's a very common observation and issue, which is why it's sensible to only enable HDR mode when you're going to view actual HDR content. some more info here: tftcentral.co.uk/articles/heres-why-you-should-only-enable-hdr-mode-on-your-pc-when-you-are-viewing-hdr-content
@@tftcentral you’re correct! Inside the game you won’t notice anything out of color accuracy. Also you won’t either see any huge difference between Dolby Vision and HDR honestly. So I prefer having HDR off all the time. Hope that may help the longevity of the monitor in the long run 😊
Thanks for this video! I was wondering, in this video you talk about different brightness settings (42, 55, 75, 100). But I downloaded the ICC profile from your website and on there it recommends a brightness of 42. Would you only recommend a brightness of 42 with the ICC profile or can this just be set based on personal preference?
Need advice... The colour on the PS5 doesn't seem to be punchy in HDR. Game visual is stuck on Racing as default for HDR. Is there anyway to change colour to make it visually punchy. SRGb mode is no fault to none.
@@adamtajhassam9188 besides de c+ conector i am not really bothered by the rest. I was just curious because at that price point the speakers are a must for me. And considering the competition has them for the 4k variants, i think this should have had them as well. I dont really want to occupy desk space again.
the biggest plus w this screen was the color correction and gamt sure u can pick up a lg or whatever but its imbalanced and no settings can change that. i would suggest hardware unboxed review is more accurate review. if speakers from a screen isa problem u dont really get the best sound . sad you need speakers from the screen ..
Hey TFT thanks for the video. One question- I noticed in the video the saturation level is set to 80 but you didn’t specifically call out setting it to that. My unit shipped with it at 50. Do you recommend setting it to 80 regardless of using SRGB mode or wide gamut? Thank you
Can you use ELMB at a 60hz resolution and let the monitor framedouble, or do you specifically need to be at 120hz output resolution. I'm thinking it might be a great fit for retro gaming (given how good scanline shaders look on a 4k oled).
On the video you have the monitor set to 80% saturation. By default it is 50%. Which is the better option? To my eyes 80% looks worse than 50% but then again eyes get used to all kinds of things easily.
Stick with the default setting. The screenshot is from one of the other modes I believe where it is higher; but we did not change it during our calibration
hi tft I read your article regarding BFI, particularly on this monitor but not entirely sure if its 'on' so to speak I have DSC disabled in order to use DLDSR but locked to 120hz (I assume due to bandwidth limitations), does that mean BFI is enabled by default? from what I read it should make 120hz almost seem as smooth as 240hz? but the difference is still quite perceptible to me, am I missing some kind of setting?
You unfortunately have to disable Variable Refresh Rate in the OSD menu for this to work and then the option below that will become adjustable (ELMB - enable that). In my opinion the concessions aren't worth it (no VRR, lower brightness, black frames shown at the same length as normal ones)... 😔
Hi, i have a question, which I don't know where to find any good and clear answer. So from someone who know something about monitors I need to ask, when I have this monitor PG32UCDM, should I download monitor drivers from Asus website? Does it matter or it's ok to have general pnp monitor. I am really confused about it. Thank you for your answer
@@tftcentral One other question came to mind that I don't really understand. I'm very confused about the four HDR modes the monitor offers. Console, gaming, cinema and true 400. I didn't really understand the chart, what's the difference between them and if it matters which one I do the HDR calibration from Microsoft.
@KrystofKaplan there’s very little difference between the gaming , console and cinema modes. The TB400 mode is more accurate but doesn’t get as bright as the others for peak highlights. If you install the latest firmware there’s actually another mode for boosting brightness in HDR. I expect most people will prefer the overall HDR appearance of using game mode and enabling that new brightness boost feature to be honest
does the pixel cleaning run by itself when you turn off the display? i read the manual and it said something about 'orange' color illuminating when pixel cleaning is active.
what do u mean exactly by "standby"? ive been using the monitor for a few days and i noticed when i physically turn off the monitor using the power button, pixel cleaning NEVER kicks in. It only kicks in when i put my PC to sleep mode and DO NOT turn off the monitor using the physical power button. @@tftcentral
last question, does this monitor support HDCP 2.2? There is a way to check this on the Edge browser using the command "edge://gpu" and it showed false for me? this may not be accurate though. Im worried because some streaming sites require HDCP 2.2 support to watch HDR @@tftcentral
quite likely. The screenshots here were from the user manual actually as we'd unfortunately had to return the monitor before having chance to record the walk through. You should have the same settings available though
Is it normal that it's extremely wonky to set the HDR calibration in some games? For example in Cyberpunk 2077 in the HDR settings, the preview pictures change dramatically when I switch between Gaming HDR and Console HDR, one of them basically deletes all the detail in brighter areas when leaving the peak brightness at 1000-1050 nits. Also had some problems in the windows HDR calibration app, where it basically caps out on around 500 nits on all modes. I assume that's just because of the high APL of that test image, so is it fine to just set the slider to 1000 on both of the peak brightness steps? I saw this quite often where these test images simply are basically useless. I have my HDR currently calibrated to 1050 nits peak, but on the advanced display info it shows 455 nits, it's all a bit confusing 😁. I wonder if some of the HDR problems (some people are noticing) will be ironed out with a firmware update.
HDR and KVM issues are noted by a lot of users and the HDR issue was stated to ASUS member on Reddit. Hopefully we will see the firmware update soon to fix these issues.
@@markkulaitinen9177 I just hope there isn't a big misunderstanding with this whole thing and it is indeed an actual bug. I wish there was only 2 HDR modes, the true black one and a peak 1000 or something, spent way too much time switching between all of them. I feel like the gaming mode has the brightest highlights and it also brings out the most details in really bright regions, but then again in some regions, it is also completely overblown.
Not sure if you will see this but when I enable uniform brightness the screen gets very dim, it seems better with it off. Is there a reason I should turn it on? Also I have my brightness set to 80, putting it down to your 40 makes it dark
iv just got this monitor i just got hdr settings ungreyed but then gaming hdr movie hdr and the others are still greyed out. and hdr active has washed out the colours any help please
Please see review here for HDR testing and measurements. tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/asus-rog-swift-pg32ucdm In terms of getting hot, that really depends on how hot it is. I’d say it’s fairly normal to get warm, esp if using at higher brightness levels and for extended periods of time
Thanks for video. I really like super resolution (sharpening) setting in gigabyte monitors. It's so good in level 2 and eliminate bluryness in every games. is asus vividpixel have same level control of sharpening?
my problem is that there's no color accurate mode that lets you use wide-gamut when supported without oversaturating everything.... why can't we just have srgb gamut for srgb but when wide gamut is supported, it'd display the better colors?
Those two things can’t work together. The gamut is the colour space of the display that will be active. If you have a wide gamut operating, then when you display a smaller colour space it will mean those colours get “stretched” to the wider colour space and are the over saturated and not accurate. The gamut needs to match the colour space of the content you want to work with if you want it to be accurate, there’s no getting around that
Well that is possible from this Asus screen too, you just change the colour space setting to sRGB (or whatever you want to use) and it clamps the native panel gamut back to that reference. That will then deliver better accuracy (very good on this model if you check out our review). But the screen is no longer operating in wide gamut mode then. But neither is your current screen
I thought this monitor was supposed to be 4k @240hz? Why does it say 60hz? I just purchased this monitor.... NVM figured it out. You have to set it in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
@@tftcentral the connection type will not affect the image quality in any way? i just reread a lot of information and still do not understand which type is better. many say that hdmi is better, because it has a higher bandwidth
I really want to know the peak brightness at 10% on hdr so i can calibrated my ps5 hdr the correct brightness and no the fake dtm brightness? Do you know the 10% peak brightness on hdr ? I own c1 and for c9 cx c1 c2 calibration recommended is 14 click up 14 and 0 that give you 800nits
Hello, I just received my monitor but I don't have access to changing everything, can you help? My gaming Visual and other's are grayed out, it's stuck in racing mode
Do people leave their PG32UCDM in standby mode or turn it off when it's not in use? Also does the monitor do it's OLED maintenance in stand by mode, OFF or both?
I don’t have the screen any more to test it but I’m pretty sure they mean when it goes in to standby and the display is off. Not when the power is turned off
@tftcentral it literally says when "powered off" not when the monitor is on the standby. Since you no longer have the monitor I'll go with the manual. Thanks for the reply. Enjoyed the video.
@shortyorc121 another user has commented on this same video saying the pixel cleaning only happens when the screen is in standby, and won’t run if you turn the screen off via it’s power button. Have a look at his comments
For some reason all of my picture settings seem to have a yellow tint to them I dont know exactly how to explain it. I have tried all of the HDR modes and for the life of me I cant remove the tint. Its almost as if the color temperature by default is on warm
@shahmaserati that’s normal for OLED screens as it helps reduce the risk of image retention by occasionally shifting the image a few pixels. Nothing to worry about 😀
the msi and asus one never been in stock here, but the seller websites claim about 50 being sold, and three reviews on those so someone got a hold of one.
I highly recommend the lowered priced LG OLED G2 55 instead. I paid $1000 with calman calibration and am having a blast right now, it is so much more value for the price ! Was first unsure due to size - couldn't be happier.
I have a LG C3 42 Inch. And i really want to like it. But it not so easy. I preorderd the Asus PG32UCDM Last month and i‘m still waiting. I very curious if the asus is worth the 1500€ in comparison to Lg tv. I doubt it.
@@kaykayYTube the main problem with the 42 and 48 inch is the brightness, they have problems making it brighter (yes even the 32 inch and 27 inch) to make it as bright as the 55 and bigger versions. That said, the QD-OLED will probably be better for you, it is definitely more vivid than the 42 inch c3
Those were based on a 10% area APL and purely to show the roll off points. All modes except the true black 400 mode reach 1000 nits ish. More details in the written review linked
You can disable the logo in the OSD menu altogether which I believe would also apply when the screen is in standby too. If not, one of the physical buttons on the back next to the joystick toggle turns it off
For SDR it depends if you want accuracy, in which case choose sRGB, or prefer more vivid and saturated colours and don’t really care as much about accuracy, in which case you can choose wide native mode
why cant i leave windows running hdr all the time? looks great with it on. plus im a heavy game been using nvidia's beta app and omg what a difference with its ai rtx hdr and ai rtx dynamic vibrance..
Anyone else having issues with monitor not turning on after sleep or the monitor turning on by itself when the PC is powered off? also pixel shift isnt working..
Leave it on the default. That is a screenshot from the user manual, I assumed that showed the default setting and other viewers have suggested that is the default too. Might vary by preset mode I suppose. Basically just leave that alone 😀
Thanks for the great video, using these settings now. Saturation at 80 tho? I mean its looking good its just first time I see an oled with saturation at 80 recommended.
It’s just whatever the default is. No need to change from that. The image in the video is actually a screenshot from the manual, so the default might actually be something else like 50? May have missed that in the image, and assumed it’s the default. Can you confirm what default is and I’ll add a pinned comment!
Anyone else having issues were the screening protection settings are getting turned off?? I had them on but every time I go in and do a cleaning they are turned off

@@tftcentral im only using my asus for gaming nothing else so i need hdr10 on, should i then ignore the settings in this video or can i still do some since others are greyed out
@SVR2010REELS that could be left on if all your games support HDR properly or you are using (and like) auto HDR to upscale SDR games too. You can skip the SDR settings section if you’re leaving HDR on all the time, but still check out the oled care section and HDR
I think there is something wrong with my windows, every monitor I’ve tried to use HDR content on it’s completely washed. Grey colors and I turn HDR off and it looks great. Only happens when I turn HDR on in windows

Hi Simon, I’ve read your review for this monitor many times and want to make sure I have this correct. This is the way I see operating this monitor according to the data you have provided in your review. You have four viable modes for SDR content. Racing-sRGB, Racing-DCI-P3, Racing-Wide Gamut, and sRGB Cal. Two out of the four are sRGB emulation modes that target two different gammas which is useful depending on if you’re playing a FPS title or single player game. The other two are to be used if you like saturated and inaccurate colors for consuming SDR content and gaming in SDR with DCI-P3 specifically pulling back a bit on the red saturation level. Wouldn’t GameVisual Racing mode work fine for SDR content targeting a 2.2 gamma depending on which color gamut the user wanted to use as they all track closely to 6500K? Then, if the user desires they can use the sRGB Cal mode to target the sRGB gamma that is more useful for FPS titles. Do I have this all correct? Thanks! I absolutely loved your review and am really enjoying this monitor!
@@tftcentral Yeah I noticed that. As per your review, and testing it out for myself on desktop and games, I think for the sRGB "Display Color Space" setting, the best / most accurate color setting mode would be to use the "Racing mode" instead of the "User mode". Everything else like you said - color temp 6500k etc. The GameVisual "User mode" setting, as per this video, seems to give the image a little too much red. Whilst the "Racing mode" as per your written review looks more neutral - white/blueish which is quite noticeable for snowfields for example.

Would you only recommend a brightness of 42 with the ICC profile or can this just be set based on personal preference?
That setting can still be changed to your liking with the profile, that’s fine. It won’t impact anything else
Need advice... The colour on the PS5 doesn't seem to be punchy in HDR. Game visual is stuck on Racing as default for HDR. Is there anyway to change colour to make it visually punchy. SRGb mode is no fault to none.
Just in time! Mine was just delivered. Thanks!
Still waiting for stock dont have one help please best prices in Canada :(
does this monitor have built in speakers?
@@cristescudan2326 instead of speakers it gives u 1 extra usb port & a charging 65w port :) C+ connector :)
@@adamtajhassam9188 besides de c+ conector i am not really bothered by the rest. I was just curious because at that price point the speakers are a must for me. And considering the competition has them for the 4k variants, i think this should have had them as well. I dont really want to occupy desk space again.
the biggest plus w this screen was the color correction and gamt sure u can pick up a lg or whatever but its imbalanced and no settings can change that. i would suggest hardware unboxed review is more accurate review. if speakers from a screen isa problem u dont really get the best sound . sad you need speakers from the screen ..

Hey TFT thanks for the video. One question- I noticed in the video the saturation level is set to 80 but you didn’t specifically call out setting it to that. My unit shipped with it at 50. Do you recommend setting it to 80 regardless of using SRGB mode or wide gamut? Thank you
Disregard-saw others asked the same question
@@RotiHK What was the answer sorry dude?
@@itsjawdan Recommendation was set to default 50 but I've since turned mine up to 65 as I do prefer a more subtle pop from it

Lucky enough to order one from Amazon but yet to be fulfilled
Can you use ELMB at a 60hz resolution and let the monitor framedouble, or do you specifically need to be at 120hz output resolution.
I'm thinking it might be a great fit for retro gaming (given how good scanline shaders look on a 4k oled).
Only works when set at 120Hz
I leave HDR on windows permanently, you mentioned not to, any particluar reason? much obliged for this video!! subbed!
Info here tftcentral.co.uk/articles/heres-why-you-should-only-enable-hdr-mode-on-your-pc-when-you-are-viewing-hdr-content 😀
On the video you have the monitor set to 80% saturation. By default it is 50%. Which is the better option? To my eyes 80% looks worse than 50% but then again eyes get used to all kinds of things easily.
Stick with the default setting. The screenshot is from one of the other modes I believe where it is higher; but we did not change it during our calibration
Any changes due to latest update for this monitor?
Not to SDR mode, but there may now be some different settings for HDR, but we've not had chance to test it yet so can't confirm yet
@@tftcentral interesting :) thank you for your efforts!

hi tft
I read your article regarding BFI, particularly on this monitor but not entirely sure if its 'on' so to speak
I have DSC disabled in order to use DLDSR but locked to 120hz (I assume due to bandwidth limitations), does that mean BFI is enabled by default?
from what I read it should make 120hz almost seem as smooth as 240hz? but the difference is still quite perceptible to me, am I missing some kind of setting?
You unfortunately have to disable Variable Refresh Rate in the OSD menu for this to work and then the option below that will become adjustable (ELMB - enable that).
In my opinion the concessions aren't worth it (no VRR, lower brightness, black frames shown at the same length as normal ones)... 😔
Thank you for this very informative video! I just received the pg32ucdp can we imagine that these settings will also be optimal for it? THANKS

Proximeter sensor is not an on and off button but rather HIGH MIDDLE LOW. What would it be?
Hi, i have a question, which I don't know where to find any good and clear answer. So from someone who know something about monitors I need to ask, when I have this monitor PG32UCDM, should I download monitor drivers from Asus website? Does it matter or it's ok to have general pnp monitor. I am really confused about it. Thank you for your answer
I don’t think I’ve ever downloaded and used a monitor driver. Unless you’re on an OS that has real trouble detecting it properly it won’t be needed 👍
@@tftcentral wow, such a quick respond. Thank you so much.
@KrystofKaplan happy to help 🙂
@@tftcentral One other question came to mind that I don't really understand. I'm very confused about the four HDR modes the monitor offers. Console, gaming, cinema and true 400. I didn't really understand the chart, what's the difference between them and if it matters which one I do the HDR calibration from Microsoft.
@KrystofKaplan there’s very little difference between the gaming , console and cinema modes. The TB400 mode is more accurate but doesn’t get as bright as the others for peak highlights. If you install the latest firmware there’s actually another mode for boosting brightness in HDR. I expect most people will prefer the overall HDR appearance of using game mode and enabling that new brightness boost feature to be honest
Is this monitor g-sync compatible, and if not will it be in a future firmware uodate?
It is g-sync and freesync compatible 👍
does the pixel cleaning run by itself when you turn off the display? i read the manual and it said something about 'orange' color illuminating when pixel cleaning is active.
Pretty sure it runs when screen goes to standby and the power led flashes amber
what do u mean exactly by "standby"? ive been using the monitor for a few days and i noticed when i physically turn off the monitor using the power button, pixel cleaning NEVER kicks in. It only kicks in when i put my PC to sleep mode and DO NOT turn off the monitor using the physical power button. @@tftcentral
That’s what I mean by standby. Pc put to sleep or turned off, and the screen goes in to standby at which point the cleaning can run
@@mytommythat’s what he means by standby when monitors asleep rather than off
last question, does this monitor support HDCP 2.2? There is a way to check this on the Edge browser using the command "edge://gpu" and it showed false for me? this may not be accurate though. Im worried because some streaming sites require HDCP 2.2 support to watch HDR @@tftcentral
When do i need to do pixel cleaning for this monitor?
I have same monitor however i can't see the same interface that you are presenting. Firmware version difference maybe.
quite likely. The screenshots here were from the user manual actually as we'd unfortunately had to return the monitor before having chance to record the walk through. You should have the same settings available though
my first OLED PC monitor and i probably give it back, the ABL is annoying AF and i dont want to swith the monitor all the time from SDR to HDR
Just use Dolby vision it’s actually a good balance
How do i clean this screen? ones i touched it, i cant clean it off for some reason
when i plug the monitor into the power, the monitor suddenly turns on. even though i didn't press the power button. is that normal?
Do you guys have any intentions of testing the LG 27GS95QE
Is it normal that it's extremely wonky to set the HDR calibration in some games? For example in Cyberpunk 2077 in the HDR settings, the preview pictures change dramatically when I switch between Gaming HDR and Console HDR, one of them basically deletes all the detail in brighter areas when leaving the peak brightness at 1000-1050 nits.
Also had some problems in the windows HDR calibration app, where it basically caps out on around 500 nits on all modes.
I assume that's just because of the high APL of that test image, so is it fine to just set the slider to 1000 on both of the peak brightness steps?
I saw this quite often where these test images simply are basically useless.
I have my HDR currently calibrated to 1050 nits peak, but on the advanced display info it shows 455 nits, it's all a bit confusing 😁.
I wonder if some of the HDR problems (some people are noticing) will be ironed out with a firmware update.
HDR and KVM issues are noted by a lot of users and the HDR issue was stated to ASUS member on Reddit. Hopefully we will see the firmware update soon to fix these issues.
@@markkulaitinen9177 I just hope there isn't a big misunderstanding with this whole thing and it is indeed an actual bug.
I wish there was only 2 HDR modes, the true black one and a peak 1000 or something, spent way too much time switching between all of them.
I feel like the gaming mode has the brightest highlights and it also brings out the most details in really bright regions, but then again in some regions, it is also completely overblown.
What profile do you use hdr mode? Is it user / wide gamut?
my question is why in HDR mode color option its not active? it is really wired
This may be a dumb question, but how do you turn off the monitor? Holding the button does not work.
Isn’t there a separate pressable button next to the joystick?
It's awesome how you do these
Not sure if you will see this but when I enable uniform brightness the screen gets very dim, it seems better with it off. Is there a reason I should turn it on? Also I have my brightness set to 80, putting it down to your 40 makes it dark
The review linked in the description for testing and explanation of UB mode on and off 👍
I'm patiently waiting on you guys' review of the LG 32GS95UE.
iv just got this monitor i just got hdr settings ungreyed but then gaming hdr movie hdr and the others are still greyed out. and hdr active has washed out the colours any help please
Can't this go to 1000 nits?? Also is it common for the monitor to get hot?
Please see review here for HDR testing and measurements.
tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/asus-rog-swift-pg32ucdm
In terms of getting hot, that really depends on how hot it is. I’d say it’s fairly normal to get warm, esp if using at higher brightness levels and for extended periods of time
Is changing "color space" to sRGB in other modes the same as sRGB color mode (except unlocked options you have with the former)?
Basically yes. Would do the same colour gamut clamping, but doing it via that setting allows you to also adjust other things if you want
Thanks for video. I really like super resolution (sharpening) setting in gigabyte monitors. It's so good in level 2 and eliminate bluryness in every games. is asus vividpixel have same level control of sharpening?
Not sure, it’s not something we tested I’m afraid
my problem is that there's no color accurate mode that lets you use wide-gamut when supported without oversaturating everything....
why can't we just have srgb gamut for srgb but when wide gamut is supported, it'd display the better colors?
Those two things can’t work together. The gamut is the colour space of the display that will be active. If you have a wide gamut operating, then when you display a smaller colour space it will mean those colours get “stretched” to the wider colour space and are the over saturated and not accurate. The gamut needs to match the colour space of the content you want to work with if you want it to be accurate, there’s no getting around that
@@tftcentral it works on my Mac, and partially acre monitor.
Instead of stretching they could be clamped
Well that is possible from this Asus screen too, you just change the colour space setting to sRGB (or whatever you want to use) and it clamps the native panel gamut back to that reference. That will then deliver better accuracy (very good on this model if you check out our review). But the screen is no longer operating in wide gamut mode then. But neither is your current screen
I thought this monitor was supposed to be 4k @240hz? Why does it say 60hz? I just purchased this monitor.... NVM figured it out. You have to set it in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
hi, i also use this wonderful monitor. please tell me, do you connect to 4090 via hdmi 2.1 or DP 1.4?
Either is fine
@@tftcentral yes, but which one is better? 🙂
@@tftcentral I want to get maximum beauty
@TomKingX neither. Personally I’d use DP to then keep the other connections free for other devices but it really won’t make any difference
@@tftcentral the connection type will not affect the image quality in any way? i just reread a lot of information and still do not understand which type is better. many say that hdmi is better, because it has a higher bandwidth
I really want to know the peak brightness at 10% on hdr so i can calibrated my ps5 hdr the correct brightness and no the fake dtm brightness? Do you know the 10% peak brightness on hdr ? I own c1 and for c9 cx c1 c2 calibration recommended is 14 click up 14 and 0 that give you 800nits

How do you turn on HDR in windows so that "HDR settings" is not greyed out when you want to watch HDR content?
It’s in windows display settings. Google is your friend 😀
Do people leave their PG32UCDM in standby mode or turn it off when it's not in use? Also does the monitor do it's OLED maintenance in stand by mode, OFF or both?
Just leave it to go to standby mode. Pretty sure the maintenance only runs in standby mode
@tftcentral in the manual, it says when powered "off" it will do a pixel cleaning.
Please look into this for us.
I don’t have the screen any more to test it but I’m pretty sure they mean when it goes in to standby and the display is off. Not when the power is turned off
@tftcentral it literally says when "powered off" not when the monitor is on the standby.
Since you no longer have the monitor I'll go with the manual. Thanks for the reply. Enjoyed the video.
@shortyorc121 another user has commented on this same video saying the pixel cleaning only happens when the screen is in standby, and won’t run if you turn the screen off via it’s power button. Have a look at his comments
Should I update the bios for this monitor on the Asus website?
Yes it includes bug fixes and improvements
For some reason all of my picture settings seem to have a yellow tint to them I dont know exactly how to explain it. I have tried all of the HDR modes and for the life of me I cant remove the tint. Its almost as if the color temperature by default is on warm

Hi Simon, I’ve read your review for this monitor many times and want to make sure I have this correct.
This is the way I see operating this monitor according to the data you have provided in your review.
You have four viable modes for SDR content. Racing-sRGB, Racing-DCI-P3, Racing-Wide Gamut, and sRGB Cal. Two out of the four are sRGB emulation modes that target two different gammas which is useful depending on if you’re playing a FPS title or single player game.
The other two are to be used if you like saturated and inaccurate colors for consuming SDR content and gaming in SDR with DCI-P3 specifically pulling back a bit on the red saturation level.
Wouldn’t GameVisual Racing mode work fine for SDR content targeting a 2.2 gamma depending on which color gamut the user wanted to use as they all track closely to 6500K?
Then, if the user desires they can use the sRGB Cal mode to target the sRGB gamma that is more useful for FPS titles.
Do I have this all correct? Thanks! I absolutely loved your review and am really enjoying this monitor!
Yeah that all sounds right and makes sense!

@@tftcentral Yeah I noticed that. As per your review, and testing it out for myself on desktop and games, I think for the sRGB "Display Color Space" setting, the best / most accurate color setting mode would be to use the "Racing mode" instead of the "User mode". Everything else like you said - color temp 6500k etc.
The GameVisual "User mode" setting, as per this video, seems to give the image a little too much red. Whilst the "Racing mode" as per your written review looks more neutral - white/blueish which is quite noticeable for snowfields for example.
