    I was just finishing up hours of testing on the ASUS 4K 240Hz 32” QD OLED monitor when, surprise…
    ASUS drops a firmware update, which based on the notes seemed like a big one. A really big one, and it was, so out the window all that testing had to go, because their HDR performance with this new update has changed quite a bit.
    Now if you’ve been watching my reviews you’ll likely know that while these 32” OLEDs are in my opinion the best monitor tech we have today, they do have a few downsides, the biggest one being unimpressive HDR brightness where they get absolutely clapped by their TV counterparts, and unfortunately you have to choose on many of these monitors between a mode which allows the monitor to hit up to 1,000 nits, but drastically reduces the average brightness, or an HDR400 True Black mode which tracks correctly and is much brighter overall, but limits the monitor to a maximum of roughly 480nits.

      If you were buying a oled 42 plus gaming monitor what would it be I been on the fence and can't pull the trigger. Leaning towards the asus 42 4k oled. I had the new Samsung 240hz 4k smart monitor but the aspect ratio didn't work well on console for fps games. I was going too use it for my pc but I just didn't like how low it was I wish It was a bit taller. I'm using the acer predator 4k 144hz currently but they don't have hdmi 2.1 for the ps5. I play ps5 and pc and trying to find something to marry the combo so I don't need so many monitors. Any thoughts would be appreciated and if you have a link I'd order there ty

    For your final review, can you please test EOTF tracking in each mode with window sizes larger than 10%? TFTCentral showed all the QD-OLED monitors are dimmer on 25%-50% sized windows when you run them in Peak 1000 mode vs HDR400 TrueBlack modes. From your description it sounds like Asus might be the first to address this issue but would be nice to see it confirmed with full EOTF measurements. Also please test for HDR black crush as some of these monitors seem to crush everything between gray levels 65-80 or near black 2%.

    • @thedisplayguy
      @thedisplayguy  5 днів тому +6

    Question for other owners: had any problems with micro scratches? I took a brand new microfiber cloth with distilled water to try and remove a fingerprint smudge and it resulted in some very very small micro scratches. Seems like this is a known common issue with glossy panels from Samsungs 3rd gen lineup of QD-OLEDS. I guess because of the coating.
    It’s not a dealbreaker by any means. Can only see the hairline scratches if you put your nose to the display and shine a flashlight on it, but still my OCD is annoyed by it lol

    The issue for UK users is this monitor is always out of stock and only 1 place sells it for £1400 delivered when it does come in stock for 15 minutes. The Alienware is £910 currently and in stock so £490 difference - my question therefore is - is this monitor worth the £490 extra you need to pay compared to the Alienware 32inch QD-OLED?

    Those who struggling about the best HDR settings:
    Windows HDR calibration: 0, 800, 260
    Why 800 and not 1000 - it helps to mitigate clipping (over-brighten the details)
    Monitor: Console HD + boost
    Game: Lower in-game brightness (paper-white) settings. For example in Alan Wake I lower it from 200 nits to 140 nits
    OR
    Just use Gaming HDR, if you ok with raised blacks and greys.
    All depends on the game you play. If the game is mostly dark scenes Gaming HDR and Cinema HDR are not for me as it fills like some kind filter is enabled.

      @BlueSkyleaf День тому +1

      No. you can see in the graph that your are getting 400 nits peak. Also you can only select the different dolby vision modes (HDR settings become greyed out and has no impact!). Most games (and only some apps and videos) don't support DV as it costs money and HDR10 is free (and arguably just as good in many cases). If you are on windows you should prob stick to HDR10 for 99% of the content.

    • @Marvolzz

    HUGE thank you for making the video, ASUS really dropped the ball on communication here not even mentioning the changes to the other HDR modes (But they did a great job on the tech obviously)! I am really curious as you kinda forgot to compare console hdr wihtout boost which seems to be the only "dark" mode left. Did all the modes besides it actually get brighter too compared to before? Asus only mentioned the boost but my testing showed it seems to affect all modes. Your video obviously seems to confirm tat but just double checking.

    Check out the new Gigabyte MO34WQC2. If its like the 32" with no surprises, then it bests the DWF by 75hz at 10 bit with no DSC (HDMI 2.1). You could also critique it with it not having HDR Console mode like in this Asus' latest firmware. What I personally like is no more need for a monitor arm, the stand provides several more inches of height.

    It was already the best gaming monitor of 2024 in my opinion as its SDR performance and versatility made it the best I’ve ever tested. Two sRGB modes targeting a flat 2.2 gamma in Racing-sRGB and sRGB Cal targeting sRGB gamma all while maintaining excellent color accuracy and the ability to change color temperature and gamma if desired in Racing-sRGB.
    If you leave uniform brightness off you can game using Racing-sRGB and contend with ABL but hit almost 300 nits in game which is immediately noticeable going between it and sRGB Cal which disables uniform brightness.
    Then you can simply switch to DCI-P3 or Wide Gamut from Racing mode and still get 6500K with increased color gamut coverage.
    Now with this HDR update it’s hands down the best money can buy in 2024.

      kinda depends on if the aorus fo32u2p gets dolby vision, in case it's a dealbreaker, ngl. Sure, the fo32u2p has DP2.1, and a hi-fi soundcard, so hardware-wise it's the better of the two.

    I just got this monitor to recomplete my full Asus ROG setup. I love it but my biggest complaint is that it doesn't have DP 2.1 for future proofing. DSC seems lossless but I can feel you lose some snappiness with it. The glossiness is perfect to me comparing to LG TVs. On LGs TVs the panel coating isn't completely flat/smooth. Looks like a wave effect. The PG32UCDM doesn't have that. On the other side , LG TVs have better blacks. Also you can use this monitor at 1080p and 240hz which is nice for competitive games.

    • @matejnemec3022
      @matejnemec3022 5 днів тому +2

      How do you lose snapiness? DSC doesnt increase latency in significant way. And how would you even know if you dont have another same 4k240hz qd oled with dp 2.1 to compare against? You just convinced yourself that it is a problem when it is not. Only reason to want dp 2.1 is dldsr which really isnt needed at 4k.
