Amazing Display & Performance!The ASUS ROG Swift 39” Ultrawide 800R Curved OLED Gaming Monitor (PG39WCDM) is simply incredible! The OLED panel delivers stunning colors, deep blacks, and super-fast 240Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth gaming. The 800R curve enhances immersion, making every game feel more intense. Setup was easy, and the build quality is top-notch. A must-have for gamers and creators alike! Highly recommended.

Pros: Unreal deep inky blacksAmazing color gamutHigh refresh rate for gamingHdr brightness is great @ 1000 nits peakGreat for media consumption like movies and TV showsPerfect resolution for gaming in 2025Cons: lack of built in speakersI understand this can be an expensive monitor to game with but honestly if you're on deciding to purchase one, just go for it. I would argue this monitor has been on of the few things to elevate my gaming experience. Sure you can buy a cheaper ips monitor that will get the job done but the difference is night and day with an OLED panel. Don't let the fear of burn in discourage you that was more of an issue about 5 years ago. I have owned this monitor for a couple of months now and it stills amazes me every time I use it.

This review is for the ASUS PG32UCDM, which is a QD-OLED monitor sporting a 240hz refresh rate and 4K resolution to clarify when Amazon lists all the reviews together in the way they do.Gaming performance: At 240hz, provided your graphics card can push pixels that quickly, this monitor is at the top of the game when considering the speed of competitive 4K monitors. There does not currently (2/24/25) exist a 4K panel that can do more than 4K 240hz, if you require more for competitive gaming then you should look elsewhere to a 1440p monitor or the like. I played Halo Infinite at 240hz and the experience was divine. Coming from a 144hz 4K 27" IPS panel, there is no comparison: the picture was unimaginably clear, vivid, crisp, and with dark blacks. Age of Empires IV with HDR mode enabled looks like a different game entirely. I will have to replay every older game I own with this monitor. The colors quite literally give life to old games and show you things in titles you've already played that you may have missed on your older monitor.Other media consumption:I do not own a TV, thus I consume all of my media through my computer and a monitor that could natively display all current types of media formats (HDR, Dolby Vision, etc) was important to me and this monitor excels in media consumption much like an OLED TV does. This monitor supports Dolby Vision which is quite uncommon among computer monitors, competitor's products that I've checked during my research prior to buying (Gigabyte F032U2P as well as the MSI equivalent) fall short in this area, not supporting DV. Switching HDR modes is easily accessible in the monitor settings. HDR support is excellent just the same as DV and is the default mode. Just like with games, true blacks show with OLED panels such as this one because the pixel completely turns off, unlike other panels where local dimming and other technologies try to reproduce black shades but they often come out gray as some light from the backlight shines through. Not the case with this monitor. The dark, eerie, emptiness of space in 1979's Alien really comes through and the vivid colors of Avatar shine bright as if you were really on Pandora. I cannot express enough how important a good monitor is when putting together a gaming or media setup. It is the primary way you interact with your computer.Things to know:OLED is susceptible to burn in, and as in the old days with CRTs (which were also prone to burn in), care must be taken to mitigate the effects. It's the return of the screen saver. The monitor comes with a standard 8 hour pixel refresh cycle which prompts you with the on screen display to run a pixel refresh. It takes about 5 minutes to complete, and you can postpone it if you so wish. It is also recommended to use a dark windows theme, no background, auto-hide taskbar, among other mitigation measures.Text fringing: I thought this would be a problem for me, since I am both easily nauseated by blurry text and use my computer for a lot of text-based work as well (coding and writing these reviews...). Truthfully it is only noticeable if you get very, very close to the screen, much closer than is usable. There are also mitigation measures you can take for this such as using different fontpacks and so on.Overall, this monitor is excellent and I forsee using it for 5+ years. I will edit this review if burn in appears in any significant or severe way or earlier than expected.

So far so good. But honestly not worth it for the $1200+tAX upgrade price tag. I’m coming from the m32u 4k 144hz IPS and there’s definitely a difference but is it really worth the price? IMO no.. also this monitor doesn’t have built in speakers which sucks for console gaming. The quality and visuals look amazing and there’s obviously a difference compared to IPS monitors while gaming but I just can’t justify the price.. I wouldn’t pay more than $800 to upgrade. Keep in mind this was originally $999 but the tariffs drove the price up. Excellent brightness, going from 144hz to 240hz definitely notice improvements but nothing major. You still need at least a 4090+ to game in 4k 240hz Weight:It feels very light compared to my m32u and the m32u is 1 pound less. Strange Build quality:a lot of built in functions which is cool. Makes it actually worth using unlike any other monitor I’ve owned. Sound quality:No built in speakers Value for money:wait for $800 or less
