The Ultimate Gaming Monitor? ASUS reveals their ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM

It could only be better if it was half the price.

Still, I might just splurge on one, in like, a decade or so, once it finnally appears in my country.
 
... and when my hardware is finally able to push to such values.

While I understand your stance, this is something that doesn't bother me, I'm currently not maxing out my 55" LG C1, at least not with modern games and of course, having double the refresh rate would kinda be a waste, but I'm not really interested in a monitor like this because of 240hz, it's just becasue, much better image quality than my current VA monitor, and way faster response times, something I always compromised on with my preference for contrast, which always landed me on VA panels instead of IPS or worse yet, TN panels. Running games at 90-fps in a 240hz monitor is fine just fine for me, I will still get the ful 240hz when I'm playing older games, and I know I can make more use of it once I upgrade my GPU later down the line, that's fine just fine.

I fell in love with OLED once I got my first phone with an OLED screen, I then got myself an OLED TV, smartwatch, even my laptop is currently an Asus Vivobook with an OLED screen, my monitor is the only LCD sceen I currently use daily, I've been wanting to change that for a long while, and was really considering the 27" LG OLED monitor, but LG never launched it in Brazil... Samsung did launch the OLED G8 recently and the OLED G9 just yesterday but they are waaaay too overpriced, I'd be more inclined to the alienware one that is quite a bit cheaper, but I'm not currently looking for ultrawide and I'd end up regretting it if I did buy one. Altough I fully expect this 32" from asus to be similar in price to the OLED G8 or even a little more I'd be wiling given its way more suitable for my use.

Basically I never took refresh rate as something my PC needs to match, and honestly I like having headroom in the refresh rate, nowadays that's kinda useless with NVIDIA reflex and all that, but I'm still in the mentality that avoiding V-Sync is a nice thing to do and I still employ FPS limiters to avoid reaching V-Sync.

In any case, I'm loving to see samsung come with a flat monitor panel (so unlike them) that's also glossy, I really can't put any fault on this Asus monitor as of now, some are worried about DP 1.4, apparently people want to use DSR , I don't know why you would want to use DSR in a 4k screen but okay, there's that, doesn't bother me so still a perfect product for me, aside from the astronomical price tag it will come with, but nothing that saving money for a few months can't deal with. I just hope when reviews drop ti doesn't turn out to have annoying issues or bad QC which is a real worry since it's Asus and Samsung display...
