The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP is a 32-inch, 4k gaming monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate. However, it also has a special mode that increases its refresh rate to 480Hz with a reduced 1080p resolution. It uses Micro Lens Array+ (MLA+) technology that lets it get brighter than other OLEDs. Additionally, it has extra productivity perks like a USB-C port with up to 90W of power delivery and a KVM switch that makes it easy to multitask with different computers. As a part of the Republic of Gamers (ROG) lineup, it competes against a number of other 32-inch OLED displays. This includes other 32-inch 240Hz WOLED monitors, like the LG 32GS95UE-B, as well as 32-inch QD-OLEDs like the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8/G80SD S32DG80 and the Dell Alienware AW3225QF. This monitor has features to help prevent burn-in, like a custom heatsink and OLED Care settings.
Our Verdict
The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP is outstanding for PC gaming. It has a near-instantaneous response time that results in crisp motion and low input lag for a responsive feel. Its near-infinite contrast ratio and perfect black uniformity are ideal for dark room gaming, and blacks look deep and inky. It also has a 240Hz refresh rate, so motion looks extremely crisp, and it feels very responsive. Additionally, this monitor has a 1080p @ 480Hz mode, which is outstanding for esports and competitive gaming. One downside is its noticeable VRR flicker in dark scenes with changing frame rates, though it has a VRR flicker reduction system that reduces flicker at the expense of added stuttering.

Although the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP is great for office work, it has some limitations. Its wide viewing angles make sharing your screen with someone else easy. Additionally, it has fantastic text clarity. However, while it works well with a few lights, it doesn't get bright enough to fight strong glare. Additionally, it has the risk of permanent burn-in with constant exposure to the same static elements over time, which is a problem if you're only using it for office work.
Great reflection handling.
- Wide viewing angles.
- Superb text clarity.
- Risk of burn-in.
The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP is fantastic for content creation. Its large 4k screen provides a detailed workspace for editing content, and you can easily have multiple windows open at the same time. It's also great for editing content in HDR, as small highlights get bright enough to pop, and it displays a wide range of colors. Additionally, its sRGB mode is fairly accurate even before calibration. However, you need to calibrate it for the best accuracy, and all parts of scenes are a bit too dark before calibration. Finally, OLEDs like this can be prone to burn-in with constant exposure to the same static elements over time.
Great reflection handling.
- Wide viewing angles.
- Superb text clarity.
- Deep and inky blacks.
- Risk of burn-in.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
We tested the 32-inch ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP, which is the only size available for this monitor. It's one of many monitors in ASUS's 2024 lineup with an OLED panel, including the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP and the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM. However, the PG32UCDM is a different monitor with a QD-OLED display. The results are only valid for this model.
| Model | Size | Resolution | Panel Type | Refresh Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PG32UCDP | 32" | 4k/1080p | WOLED | 240Hz/480Hz |
| PG32UCDM | 32" | 4k | QD-OLED | 240Hz |
Our unit's label indicates it was manufactured in July 2024. We tested it with firmware MCM103.
Popular Monitor Comparisons
The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP is a high-end gaming monitor for those who want the most responsive gaming experience. While it has a very impressive 4k @ 240Hz mode with vivid colors and bright highlights, its standout feature is its 1080p @ 480Hz Frame Rate Boost mode. This monitor has extraordinarily low input lag and response time, so it's an exceptional choice if you plan to play both immersive games in 4k and are an esports enthusiast. It's also better than some 32-inch OLEDs for productivity, as it has a KVM switch and delivers up to 90W of power over USB-C. However, if you want the most vivid colors, other 32-inch monitors with a QD-OLED display, like the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8/G80SD S32DG80, deliver more vibrant colors and cost less.

The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM and the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP are 32-inch 4k OLED monitors. The PG32UCDP is a better choice if you want the most responsive feel, as it has a 1080p @ 480Hz mode that the PG32UCDM lacks. It also works better in a room with a fair amount of ambient light, as deep blacks won't appear slightly purple, as would on the PG32UCDM. Finally, the PG32UCDP has better text clarity, so it's a better option if you plan to use it for productivity work. However, if vivid colors are important to you then the PG32UCDM is the better choice, as it has more vivid colors in HDR.
The ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG and the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP are both high-end OLED gaming monitors. They're fairly similar for the most part, as they use the same WOLED panel with a native 4k resolution and 240Hz refresh rate, as well as a Frame Rate Boost mode that allows you to use it with 1080p @ 480Hz signals. The main difference between them is their screen coatings. The glossy coating on the XG32UCWMG allows images to appear clearer, and it does a better job at maintaining low black levels in bright rooms. On the other hand, the matte coating of the PG32UCDP has fewer distracting reflections, so choosing one over the other really comes down to personal preference. The PG32UCDP also has higher power delivery over USB-C, which is something to consider if you want to connect a laptop.
The LG 32GS95UE-B and the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP are 32-inch 4k WOLED monitors. Both have very similar performance, including a special 1080p @ 480Hz mode for esports and other fast-paced games. The ASUS has a flicker reduction system, so you may prefer it if you're bothered by VRR flicker, as well as a KVM switch and 90W of power delivery, so it's a better choice if you plan to use it for some office work. However, if these things aren't important to you then the LG is a great option.
The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM and the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP are different types of 4k, 240Hz OLED gaming monitors. The PG27UCDM is a QD-OLED that displays more vivid colors, and it has a glossy coating that offers clearer images. The PG27UCDM also has DisplayPort 2.1 bandwidth that lets you reach the max refresh rate without compression, as long as your graphics card also supports DisplayPort 2.1. While the PG32UCDP is also a native 4k, 240Hz monitor, the main thing that sets it apart is the fact that it has a 1080p, 480Hz dual mode that allows you to achieve a higher refresh rate. The PG32UCDP also has a WOLED panel whose black levels don't rise as much in bright rooms.
We buy and test more than 30 monitors each year, all of which we purchase ourselves, without cherry-picked units or samples. We put a lot into each unbiased, straight-to-the-point review, and there's a whole process from purchasing to publishing, involving multiple teams and people. We do more than just use the monitor for a week; we use specialized, custom tools to measure various aspects and deliver objective, data-driven results. We also consider multiple factors before making any recommendations, including the monitor's cost, its performance compared to the competition, and whether it's easy to find.
