Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDM Review: 32-inch 240Hz 4K QD-OLED is Here!

Make it in a 27" form factor and take my money

Is this virtually the same as the MSI MAG 321UPX? Because that one seems cheaper, and I'm seriously considering it...

The panels for all the OLEDs come from either Samsung (QD-OLED) or LG (WOLED) and they are all identical.

"For ports, there's a decent selection, including one DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, two HDMI 2.1 48 Gbps ports with DSC. Both DisplayPort and HDMI support running the monitor at its maximum 240Hz refresh rate without compromise, and with the inclusion of multiple USB ports, a KVM switch is also provided."

Your review has contradictory statements. If it's got DSC, it's not without compromise. Why haven't you tested it's effects from around 144hz and up where it should start kicking in. What's the effect on image quality with DSC from 144hz to 240hz? There is only one monitor that has DP2.1, that's the Gigabyte FO32U2P. All the rest have to rely on DSC so it's important to know how this effects image quality. Are you planning on adding this to the review or commenting on it?

Great article, I agree with the conclusion. This is definitely not an end game monitor.
If possible can you please review the Gigabyte Aurus dp2.1 version when it drops. I would love to see objective data that supports the anecdotal talking points that there is no significant image quality loss with DSC @ dp 1.4 standard. Even if the image quality has a placebo affect of superior quality. What will be a more accurate marketing dp2.1 is superior future proof standard or dsc via dp 1.4 lossless image quality had no significant image loss?
I could forsee the when vendors support dp2.1 they marketing will change form lossless dsc to superior image quality standards. Would be great if we get ahead of the curve before Blackwell drops.
