ASUS ROG PG34WCDM 34-inch Swift OLED Gaming Monitor Unboxing & Review

[@MicD1]

Just picked this up, it is definitely fuego!! First time ultrawide user here too

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

Awesome ! Glad you liked it 🔥I'm reviewing the LG 34GS95QE at the moment which is the same screen, but honestly prefer this one because of the USB HUB and USB-C

[@oldseabear]

The best unpacking of this monitor that I have seen so far, and there have been a few. I like the presentation and the presentation of the setting options. Not everyone knows that you have to connect a curved monitor in the box. If you put a curved monitor on a table with the curve facing downwards and then connect the monitor stand or monitor arm, the pressure can be enough to crack the display or, in the worst case, break it. And yes, I order the Monitor Yesterday👍

[@oof7835]

1:29 They do though. Its called "asus pg39wcdm"

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

Its not out yet, at least in the US. So far they've released the 49, 34, and they do have the 32 listed on their site, but nothing to order yet. I'm really interested to see how the 39 looks and performs

[@briangrant9942]

asus did a talked video of the 32" 4k 240hz monitor and said to release Feb. 16 from what he said, so let's see @@FIREWOLFTECH

[@JR-vv3io]

Can you do a comparison of all the recently released Asus monitors.

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

I’ll add that to a list of future videos ! Thanks for commenting again 😅😅

[@omnigamerx]

Great Review! How is the matte coating on this? Do you see a lot of blurriness or almost like an oil like effect on white/light blue images?

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

the matte coating is great for bright rooms/ lights/ and/or sunlight. It has a slight fuzzy appearance so that's the worst part about it. If you can control the lighting or use it mostly at night, having a QD-OLED might be better

[@Nattaphong1901]

Is it possible to connect keyboard directly into the monitor?

[@roozbehAriani]

“The new problem with Asus is that there is no option to change the color in HDR mode. The colors remain as they are and do not look good at all.”

[@luisangel8206]

Thank you for always showing camera recorded gameplay footage rather than onscreen cap. Do you believe this Asus to be a noticeable upgrade in motion clarity vs the aw3423dw/f?

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

I appreciate the feedback 🔥 btw what do you mean about onscreen cap lol I'm glad you find the gameplay recordings useful. As for the aw3423dw/f, the higher frames performance and brighter display would be noticeable and if you have the DWF version, then you also get the benefits of NVIDIA G-Sync. I think a bigger noticeable upgrade would be a 32" 4K 240 QD-OLED if you have a strong GPU, since you'll immediately notice the higher PPI. The AW3225QF is also brighter, but you do go down in aspect ratio so there's a trade-off.

[@Kapono5150]

Very nice looking display and LG didn’t lie. It’s definitely brighter than last years panels. To me, spending almost 1500 bucks on 1440p resolution isn’t smart. But with your use case, the features seem to really benefit you.

[@Lowlife999]

Rn 1440 at this size screen is a much better value and personally I can’t really even tell the difference between 110ppi and 170 or whatever a “true 4k” or 5k 31:9 monitor with 2160p vertically would be. There isn’t even a graphics card on the market that could even hope to push 240 at 4k natively, so you need to turn on DLSS, and as of the time I’m writing this the only true 4k 240hz monitor I could even find was by LG and it’s 27” 16:9 and $1700+. I saw one from Alienware that uses DSC for like 1300 at 32 inches but at that point you’re spending the same amount of money to compress and super sample the image to hit high refresh rates when you could do the same thing and get even higher fps at 1440 both super sampled and in native. HD2 is a good example, it’s actually a pretty visually impressive game when you’re down on the planets and there’s mobs everywhere, the super sampling technique isn’t dlss though and it sucks balls so I prefer to play at native 1440 max settings and I still get lows in the 80s in the most demanding scenes the game has to offer but usually not going below 100 or so, which is fine for the type of game Hell Divers 2 is and I only have a 4070.

[@grady92]

Asus has a 4k 240hz 32 in and this one and there both 1300 usd not 1500

[@MrFistxx]

@@Lowlife999thx

[@millenial_in_the_middle]

The only thing that i miss is a second DP. Probably because Consoles only use HDMI, as they're not as "powerful" as a good configured PC but leaving out a second DP is kind of "discriminating". Would love to see an OLED with 2 DP 2.1 and 2 HDMI 2.1a

[@Hunter.Simpson]

I'm interested in this monitor but I'm worried about the 800R curve. Is it strange to look at?

[@grady92]

PG39WCDM is a 39in version

[@MakeSh00t]

gsync and vsync reduces latency even further vs with only gsync on.

[@ployth9000]

LG just launched the 32'' 39'' and 45'' version today alongside the 4k dual mode monitor

[@TheReal_Dan]

Would you recommend this over the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM for gaming?

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

I haven’t tried that one yet, will be a future review. But it should be similar to the AW3225QF so I would recommend it over this one if you have a strong graphics card to be able to run 4K gaming

[@TheReal_Dan]

@@FIREWOLFTECH Awesome thank you for the feedback!

[@dariuscraciun1737]

I just purchased one from Amazon, I can't wait for it

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@ssheen79]

Just picked this up, I do love it but the weird artifacting in hdr is a bit concerning.

[@RustyPato]

I had a question, so for the usbc connection, can you have a phone display itself as a dock or does it only work for laptops ?

[@whisperhelper5829]

Is this good for everyday use? I don't do any gzming.

[@oniixch4n-7]

Has got the hdr problem on this monitor fixed yet?

[@mostsaneperson]

over usb-c is it possible to use full resolution and refresh rate, usb 3.2 speed from the USB ports, and the power delivery at the same time? I heard that enabling USB 3.2 speed from the USB settings reduces the refresh rate to 60hz

[@gian.torres]

Just got the monitor ordered, and the HX ergo. In regards to the Ergo, did you have to loosen the tension a lot because the monitor is relatively light?

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

Yes had to reduce it a lot, its honestly overkill. You could also go for their LX or MXV since those hold lighter monitors. I have the HX since I've been reviewing larger monitors

[@egekartal795]

ı like the attach my camera on top of this but cant find to male side thing for it. do you know how can ı search it

[@Jamison_Fawkes]

Did you by any chance check if the monitor is compatible with the ASUS ROG Monitor Desk Mount Kit ACL01?

[@jpxmoz6026]

On the 16:59 minutes, how were you able to remove the black bars around the right display ? i m trying to use PIP/PBP mode but both displayed pcs are like you have on the right. I cant fix it.

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

On the right was my MacBook input, for some reason MacOS didn’t choose the right resolution, so you’ll have to go into Display Settings (on mac) and change it. I forgot the exact resolution, but if you check the resolution on PC it should be similar choice. (I think it’s half of 3440 and half of 1440) Once you find the correct resolution, you should be good.

[@Kaktyss25]

[@theabyssaldemon]

excellent video. Is it possible to attach a benq light bar to this thing? and I am torn between this or the 32 inch dough spectrum black whenever it launches.. Do you review those too?

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

I looked into the specs of the benQ light and it says it could fit curved screens over 1000R. Since this is 800R, it may not be compatible. I was going to get a benq, but with the recently announced Razer and Asus ROG monitor bar lights, I postponed buying one

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

as for the 32 spectrum, if they reach out to me for a review I'd review it

[@MattAmann]

I just got this and playing PS5 my whites have a weird blue tint to them, cant figure out why...

[@oniixch4n-7]

I am struggling either to buy the 39 inch one or this one. Could the 39 has a worse resulution compared to the 34 one? Or is it the same?

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

Is the 39-inch available to order for you ? Here in the US I don't think its out yet. I was reading the article and its saying that it has a 3440 x 1440 resolution which I would hope is not the case because 39 is larger, which would mean the Pixel Density is lower. Might not be a deal breaker, but I am hoping its closer to 3840 x 1440

[@oniixch4n-7]

​​@@FIREWOLFTECH yes this was my worry with the pixel density. Im from Germany, here arent released any of the new asus monitors yet, but it should to in the next weeks i think and i definitely want to buy one of them.. 34 curved one is for me personally the most interesting now, but i actually miss the 4k here. But i think the oled makes the wqhd even more better, so i will probably choose curved over 4k flat

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

If you still want 4K then Def try out the Alienware 3225QF, it has a subtle curve

[@oniixch4n-7]

@@FIREWOLFTECH im aware of this monitor and it could be perfekt for me, but i dont think that alienware has good quality panels like LG/Asus has

[@ktm-kr9mm]

Is the 800r curve to much ?

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

When you're looking at it, it doesn't feel like its much and it does help with viewing everything on the screen. It feels to much when its like a super ultrawide in my opinion. The only downside is that if you wanted to put a monitor next to it, the curve would make it hard

[@Jakaye-Editz]

Please what is h the name of the racing game he played

[@lolyko4055]

I'm between this and his "cousin" pg32ucdm, and I don't decide 😬. I've been using a 4k monitor for 5-6 years, and I don't know if I'll miss that extra sharpness... I'll keep thinking about it 🤔

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

I think the pg32ucdm is a safe choice given your 4K experience

[@lessecretsdelapizzanapolit3834]

hi between this one and the alienware 3225 qf that you tested recently which one will you choose knowing that I have the 4090 graphics card

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

I would do the AW3225QF. 4090 is perfect for that

[@hassanaslam6008]

Go for the Alienware 3225QF. That monitor HDR is way better than this and the Alienware 32 in inch would be more immersive than the ultra-wide in 4k. The price is insane for this one costing 1300. If you really want an ultra-wide go with the Alienware's last year model and save some $$$.

[@thecoon1945]

So I've noticed that there aren't many 4k monitor ads and that some people seem to be realizing that even a 4080 Super struggle to produce a satisfing amount of fps in 4k... my question is: are we actually ready to game in 4k resolution? Thank you! (i'm not an expert, sincere question)

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

I'm not too sure about the marketing aspects of it, but I would assume its because the target audience for 4K 240 is so minimal. A monitor like this one or QHD monitors would be better to market to a broad audience since the majority have less powerful components. As for 4K gaming, if it wasn't for Nvidia's DLSS or AMD's Fluid Motions, it would take even longer for high frame 4K gaming

[@حمد-و6د]

It's 4k ??

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

Not 4K, 3440 x 1440 resolution is about 60% of 4K resolution (4.95mp vs 8.29MP). This is closer to QHD (2K)
