The Asus ROG Strix XG32UQWMS, a 32-inch 4K gaming monitor featuring an LG Tandem WOLED panel, is available for $699 during Prime Day, a $200 reduction from its July launch price of $899. This discount brings the monitor closer to a "highly recommended" rating, according to PC Gamer's assessment.
The monitor utilizes LG's latest Tandem WOLED technology, offering a brightness of 330 nits for full-screen content and a peak HDR brightness of 1,500 nits. LG claims this panel technology is 60% more durable than previous iterations, providing enhanced resistance to burn-in, a concern mitigated by Asus's three-year warranty.
In terms of performance, the XG32UQWMS supports a native 4K resolution at 240Hz. It also features a dual-mode option that can increase the refresh rate to 480Hz for esports titles, prioritizing speed and low latency. The glossy panel coating enhances contrast and maximizes the benefits of OLED's per-pixel lighting, resulting in what was described as "spectacular visuals for HDR content" in a prior review.
However, the monitor does not employ a pure RGB-stripe Tandem WOLED panel, which may affect color vibrancy compared to some top-tier displays. Additionally, it lacks USB-C connectivity. Despite these omissions, the current sale price positions the XG32UQWMS as a compelling option for those seeking a high-end 4K OLED gaming monitor.
