The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCWM is a high-end 4k, 32-inch OLED gaming monitor. Sitting alongside the smaller ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCWM, it's an updated model of the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG with a fourth-gen Tandem WOLED panel. It's one of the first of this panel type that uses a more standard RGB subpixel layout as opposed to using a white subpixel, like on older models. This helps improve text clarity with less fringing around letters. It also uses a TrueBlack glossy coating that aims to keep black levels low in bright rooms. As for gaming, it has a 240Hz refresh rate that you can boost to 480Hz with a lower 1080p resolution using its Frame Rate Boost feature. It also has high-bandwidth HDMI and DisplayPort inputs to make full use of the latest graphics cards and gaming consoles, and its Dolby Vision support helps if you want to game with an Xbox Series X|S. Lastly, it has some features to help your gaming experience, like AI Assistant that includes Dynamic Crosshair and Dynamic Shadow Boost modes to make it easier to see opponents.
Our Verdict
The ASUS PG32UCWM is incredible for PC gaming. You can switch between its 4k @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz modes, so it's versatile for playing different types of games with a smooth feel. Motion looks sharp at any refresh rate, and it has low input lag that's ideal for playing reaction-based games. It supports all common VRR formats to reduce screen tearing, but there's noticeable VRR flicker with fluctuating frame rates in dark scenes. On the plus side, this monitor delivers fantastic picture quality with deep blacks in any room and small highlights that pop in dark scenes. Although it displays a wide range of colors, colors aren't as bright as pure white, so some scenes lack punch.

The ASUS PG32UCWM is fantastic for console gaming. It supports 4k signals up to 120Hz with a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, and it also has Dolby Vision with an Xbox, which is ideal for games that also support it. Motion looks sharp thanks to its near-instantaneous response time, and it has low input lag, ensuring it adds minimal delay to your setup's total latency, which is great for playing games that need fast reactions. It also has fantastic picture quality, especially when playing HDR games. Blacks are deep and inky, small highlights pop in dark scenes, and it displays a wide range of colors, but bright colors aren't the most vivid.

The ASUS PG32UCWM is good for office use. It uses an RGB subpixel layout, and combined with its high resolution and high pixel density, it delivers sharp text without any fringing around letters. Its 32-inch screen is also big enough to open two windows side-by-side. It has some features to help with productivity, like a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode and 90W of power delivery to connect your laptop and charge it. Its KVM switch is also useful if you want to connect more than one computer and use the same devices on both. However, it's best to avoid using this monitor in a sunny room as it has mirror-like reflections and doesn't get bright enough to fight really intense glare. It also risks burn-in with constant exposure to the same static elements over time.

The ASUS PG32UCWM is amazing for content creation. It's very accurate out of the box in its sRGB mode, with only the white balance and gamma tracking needing to be fixed with a full calibration. It displays a wide range of colors in common color spaces, but bright colors aren't the most vivid, so they lack some punch. It at least has a high contrast ratio for deep blacks in dark rooms. It's fine if your editing space has some lights around, but reflections and glare are distracting if you have it in front of a sunny window. Unfortunately, it risks burn-in, which is problematic if you constantly have the same static elements displayed without changing things up. On the plus side, its USB hub and KVM switch help if you want to connect your devices directly to the monitor and multitask with them.

Popular Monitor Comparisons
The ASUS ROG Swift PG32UCWM is a fantastic OLED gaming monitor. Like other modern gaming monitors, it features a dual mode to go from 4k @ 240Hz to 1080p @ 480Hz, offering versatility for playing different types of games. It has typical gaming features that you'd expect to find in a premium model, like high-bandwidth DisplayPort and HDMI inputs, Dolby Vision support, and a USB hub that includes a KVM switch to connect your devices. What sets it apart from the competition, though, is the fact that it's one of the first 4k WOLEDs to feature an RGB subpixel. This improves text clarity by reducing fringing around letters compared to older models that use the white subpixel. This makes this monitor an excellent choice for playing text-based games.
However, there are other areas where it takes a step back. It isn't as bright as some other premium options, like the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM Gen3, and its colors aren't as vivid as on QD-OLEDs. If you want a 4k OLED with sharp text, vivid colors, and a bright screen, you may have to wait for other models to come out.

The PG32UCWM also has an RGB subpixel layout that has less fringing around text than the XG32UCWMG. Although they both use glossy coatings, the PG32UCWM is better at maintaining low black levels in bright rooms. The PG32UCWM also has DisplayPort 2.1 bandwidth to take advantage of modern graphics cards, which the XG32UCWMG lacks.
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.
