[@DELTA9XTC]

man I got this monitor like 2 days ago. Went from an AOC 1080p60 monitor to this beast of a screen, also first OLED Ive ever owned (besides my phone with AMOLED screen ofc). so far Im still not sure which setting to use. SDR looks better than HDR in any setting (HDR 10 or Dolby Atmos in all available settings). I didnt change anything yet myself besides the premade settings and brightness (it is really very bright, I dont understand anyone who says its not bright enough. It is way brighter than my 1080p60 IPS monitor was, I had that one on 90 to 100 all the time and I turned down my OLED to 60 yesterday. Im not in a completely dark room by any means during daytime. I dont have any sunlight shining on it tho. Atm I settled with "Racing Mode" when waching YT videos and stuff. Today, when I play the new POE league, Im not sure what I use. Yesterday when I quickly tested it, I used the "RTS/RPG mode", it looked the best, many of the other ones were too dark. I hope this video lets me increase the visual experience even further. It already looks amazing. I have to adjust my eyes and brain to a 4k screen of this size tho. Everything looks massively different.s

[@johnpombrio]

In win 11 settings, go to Display-Use HDR (which you should have turned on) then use the > at the end to get to the HDR settings. Use the SDR content Brightness slider to boost the screens color from a dim gray to a brighter white color.

[@Assassunn]

download the official windows 11 HDR calibration tool. Also make sure you plugged in USB A to B and updated to the latest firmware (MCM105), and in the nvidia panel in resolution you need to let nvidia handle color and set it to 12 bits if using the HDMI 2.1 cable (as you should), or 10 bits if using DP 1.4 / USB-C. If your monitor look extremely grey, washed out, it's a bug. Now, don't turn on HDR if you're not watching HDR content, there's a shortcut for this : Windows + Alt + B. You can try the HDR on a youtube 4K HDR video (it has to say HDR in image quality option), this is a mindblowing difference.

Very useful video. What would you recommend to do if the user often switches between two different settings: sRGB/2.4 and WideGamut/2.2? Is there any other way besides changing the single settings manually like you showed at 3:05 and 4:20?

[@tftcentral]

You could probably configure two of the different preset modes accordingly (eg user and Racing) and then set one of the quick access direction buttons on the joystick to take you to the preset mode selection menu

@marcdwonn9772 they are just preset combinations of the individual settings so you can adjust any of them to look like anything else. And yea, each remembers your changes independently. We often just stick to the default Racing mode when making adjustments in testing

The panel settings I set in Windows (for example Brightness 80, I can change this settings on the PG32UCDM while in HDR) will be exactly the same if I launch a game (while gaming if I go into the panel settings the Brightness will still be at 80)? Panel settings in Windows are synced with panel settings in games, right? The same settings carry on? When I start playing a game, be it native HDR or using Win 11 HDR / RTX HDR, will the same options be available in the monitor's setting? Or new ones will become available compared to what I have while I'm in Windows? Internal panel settings -> the ones that appear when I press the button at the back of the monitor.

[@costantineyoussif6679]

I absolutely love this monitor! The quality and graphics are incredible, i have it connected through 2021 MacBook M1 Pro via DisplayPort 1.4-I'm consistently getting 120Hz and 165fps while gaming. However, when I switch to HDR mode, the colors seem washed out, like there's a white film or filter over the screen. In comparison, Dolby Vision displays true, vivid colors with deep blacks. Unfortunately, I can't seem to control any settings while in HDR mode, and I haven't found any guidance or tweaks for HDR on macOS, which is a bit disappointing. Despite this, I'm still very happy with the overall performance!

[@tftcentral]

When you enable HDR mode you will likely see that washing out of the image for desktop and SDR applications, but it should look better when you view actual HDR content. that's a very common observation and issue, which is why it's sensible to only enable HDR mode when you're going to view actual HDR content. some more info here: tftcentral.co.uk/articles/heres-why-you-should-only-enable-hdr-mode-on-your-pc-when-you-are-viewing-hdr-content

[@Jerry8D]

Is it normal that it's extremely wonky to set the HDR calibration in some games? For example in Cyberpunk 2077 in the HDR settings, the preview pictures change dramatically when I switch between Gaming HDR and Console HDR, one of them basically deletes all the detail in brighter areas when leaving the peak brightness at 1000-1050 nits. Also had some problems in the windows HDR calibration app, where it basically caps out on around 500 nits on all modes. I assume that's just because of the high APL of that test image, so is it fine to just set the slider to 1000 on both of the peak brightness steps? I saw this quite often where these test images simply are basically useless. I have my HDR currently calibrated to 1050 nits peak, but on the advanced display info it shows 455 nits, it's all a bit confusing 😁. I wonder if some of the HDR problems (some people are noticing) will be ironed out with a firmware update.

[@markkulaitinen9177]

HDR and KVM issues are noted by a lot of users and the HDR issue was stated to ASUS member on Reddit. Hopefully we will see the firmware update soon to fix these issues.

[@Jerry8D]

@@markkulaitinen9177 I just hope there isn't a big misunderstanding with this whole thing and it is indeed an actual bug. I wish there was only 2 HDR modes, the true black one and a peak 1000 or something, spent way too much time switching between all of them. I feel like the gaming mode has the brightest highlights and it also brings out the most details in really bright regions, but then again in some regions, it is also completely overblown.

does the pixel cleaning run by itself when you turn off the display? i read the manual and it said something about 'orange' color illuminating when pixel cleaning is active.

[@Dizzyfatpigeon]

hi tft I read your article regarding BFI, particularly on this monitor but not entirely sure if its 'on' so to speak I have DSC disabled in order to use DLDSR but locked to 120hz (I assume due to bandwidth limitations), does that mean BFI is enabled by default? from what I read it should make 120hz almost seem as smooth as 240hz? but the difference is still quite perceptible to me, am I missing some kind of setting?

[@Gaboou]

You unfortunately have to disable Variable Refresh Rate in the OSD menu for this to work and then the option below that will become adjustable (ELMB - enable that). In my opinion the concessions aren't worth it (no VRR, lower brightness, black frames shown at the same length as normal ones)... 😔

I didn't really understand the chart, what's the difference between them and if it matters which one I do the HDR calibration from Microsoft.

[@tftcentral]

@KrystofKaplan there’s very little difference between the gaming , console and cinema modes. The TB400 mode is more accurate but doesn’t get as bright as the others for peak highlights. If you install the latest firmware there’s actually another mode for boosting brightness in HDR. I expect most people will prefer the overall HDR appearance of using game mode and enabling that new brightness boost feature to be honest

[@shenalon]

Is changing "color space" to sRGB in other modes the same as sRGB color mode (except unlocked options you have with the former)?

Basically yes. Would do the same colour gamut clamping, but doing it via that setting allows you to also adjust other things if you want

my problem is that there's no color accurate mode that lets you use wide-gamut when supported without oversaturating everything.... why can't we just have srgb gamut for srgb but when wide gamut is supported, it'd display the better colors?

[@tftcentral]

Those two things can’t work together. The gamut is the colour space of the display that will be active. If you have a wide gamut operating, then when you display a smaller colour space it will mean those colours get “stretched” to the wider colour space and are the over saturated and not accurate. The gamut needs to match the colour space of the content you want to work with if you want it to be accurate, there’s no getting around that

[@ameliabuns4058]

@@tftcentral it works on my Mac, and partially acre monitor. Instead of stretching they could be clamped

[@tftcentral]

Well that is possible from this Asus screen too, you just change the colour space setting to sRGB (or whatever you want to use) and it clamps the native panel gamut back to that reference. That will then deliver better accuracy (very good on this model if you check out our review). But the screen is no longer operating in wide gamut mode then. But neither is your current screen

The others choice are: Msi mpg 32urx: same display as asus, lesser build quality, but more reliable customer service (if european, its the same), less features, warmer hot colors, but it comes with an unreliable hdr, due to softwares issues Alienware aw3225q: same quality for less the price, it comes with curved display, but overall worst performances In the next year should be lauhched the new lg ultra, and it seems quite spicy, but is too early to judge. If i was you, i will stay with asus. You can try switch to msi, but imo in gneral is a little worse

[@Itachi_Rules]

I forgot, there is even the new Sony inzone m9 ii, but is extremely overpriced and panel is inferior. Compatibility with console is not really a issue, cause all monitors (except for ultra wide and 1440p) perform without an issue Then comed the Sony inzone M10, but is more oriented for competitive gaming, is more centered about performances then image quality.

[@BoundMusic]

Can't this go to 1000 nits?? Also is it common for the monitor to get hot?

[@tftcentral]

Please see review here for HDR testing and measurements. tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/asus-rog-swift-pg32ucdm In terms of getting hot, that really depends on how hot it is. I’d say it’s fairly normal to get warm, esp if using at higher brightness levels and for extended periods of time

[@ceuser3555]

Does this still apply with the latest firmware update that includes Dolby Vision?

[@shahmaserati]

Yes i think so..is that normal?or do i need to adjust something somewhere?sorry this is my 1st monitor..i dont really know much.

@shahmaserati that’s normal for OLED screens as it helps reduce the risk of image retention by occasionally shifting the image a few pixels. Nothing to worry about 😀

[@HollywoodEDC]

@TFTCentral When you run the WINDOWS HDR Calibration app, did you notice the FIRMWARE issue with the PG32UCDM yet? In the Max Luminance Test (with HDR enabled) it begins disappearing at only 400 or so nitts, when it shouldn't disappear until 1,000 and then it displays correctly on the MAX FULL FRAME luminance ajustment as it will disappear at exactly 1,000 nitts. ASUS needs to adjust where it cuts off luminance, because on test B in the Calibration app, it should NOT be disappearing at only 400 nitts. I have other 1,000 nitt monitors that complete this test correctly. We need to get ASUS to push an HDR firmware update to address this cut-off that occurs and to make the monitor conform with Windows HDR bettter.

[@tftcentral]

It’s not something we tested and we no longer have access to the screen. But I wouldn’t be worried about it cutting anything off or causing problems. That tool doesn’t impact your peak brightness. It will just be a mismatch with the info being read from the monitor in the tool, but the scale shown is fairly meaningless

when i plug the monitor into the power, the monitor suddenly turns on. even though i didn't press the power button. is that normal?

I bought this monitor today and noticed that there is a noticeable white flickering on the loading screens of some games, which causes eye strain after a while. I turned off the variable refresh rate, and the flickering stopped, but then the G-Sync function was also disabled. What should I do? My graphics card is a 4080, and the driver is the latest version. Can someone help me?"

VRR flicker is pretty common on OLED screens but if it’s only happening on loading screens (also very common) I’d probably live with it if you can. Or game with Gsync off which is also going to be fine unless you experience any tearing

It’s just whatever the default is. No need to change from that. The image in the video is actually a screenshot from the manual, so the default might actually be something else like 50?

For SDR it depends if you want accuracy, in which case choose sRGB, or prefer more vivid and saturated colours and don’t really care as much about accuracy, in which case you can choose wide native mode
