ASUS ROG Swift 27” 4K Gaming Monitor (PG27UQR) – UHD (3840 x2160), Fast IPS, 160Hz (Above 144Hz), 1ms, FreeSync Premium Pro, Variable Overdrive, DisplayPort, HDMI, DisplayHDR…

As my main gaming monitor it checked off every box. First time gaming at 4K. Hard to go back to 1440p
– No issues with dead pixels
– Didn’t notice much back light bleed
– HDR could be better but that wasn’t the main selling point for me
– Only knock against is the lack of USB C port

ASUS ROG Swift PG32UQR

If shopping for a new monitor, you might have noticed ASUS ROG Swift PG32UQ — minus the ‘R’ of this revised model. This revised model has a better color gamut than the previous version.

Unboxing: monitor was a pleasure to unbox. It came with a strap to keep the styrofoam together. Included was a little box with manuals, warranty card, and a bunch of ROG stickers. I consider ROG to be a great brand, so the stickers will be placed on various items.

Calibration: The monitor comes with a slip inside a plastic ziplock bag showing factory calibration results. This is a nice touch and a measure of Asus’s commitment to quality assurance. No stuck or broken pixels.
On this note, you will have to fiddle with the monitor, adjust it, adjust setting through NVidia app, to get it to your liking. It could take a couple of hours, there are high performance techy terms to research. Try them all, turn them off and on. See what you like.

Performance: although this monitor is GSYNC capable, it is GSYNC compatible, meaning it does not have a GSYNC module built in. Therefore, if your frame rate drops too far below 48 fps, or if you are getting 28fps while the monitor is set for 120fps, the GSYNC compatible will not help you. You need a graphics card that is very powerful to do this monitor justice. I have a liquid-cooled 4090. I suggest a 3080 or above. Regarding colors and brightness, I have this monitor set to permanent HDR mode. Games, Visual Studio, doesn’t matter. HDR. Looks great and is brighter than you will expect. Without HDR, the monitor is still VERY bright. Colors POP. You will see details in games that you’ve never seen before. Given these positives, contrast ratio is a little weak, but no stars deducted as it is an IPS monitor and that’s the trade off.

Again, do not buy this monitor unless you have a very serious graphics card to support it. Why buy a Ferrari with a four cylinder engine? Same thing.

My primary computer’s specs (I have four rigs and ten 4k monitors):

Corsair 1000D case with twenty Corsair QL led fans.
EVGA 1600 watt platinum power supply.
So much RGB, it looks like Star Wars or Tron.
Two 480mm radiators.
Liquid cooled I9 12900k with copper IHC and liquid metal. 5.2 ghz, never passes 75 celsius even under the most rigorous benchmark tests.
4x2TB Samsung 980 pros (gen 4)
128 gigabytes of 3600mhx DDR4 ram
A special card to add tons of ultra fast USB ports, have about 14 usb ports in total
MSI 4090 Suprim Liquid (got very very lucky, first day of release)

I upgraded from a 2k 32“ rog display to this one, because I personally still play more fps games and 32” is really a bit big for me, my friend has a rog mini LED 4k display, but my friend said that this kind of screen will have the risk of burn-in, and eventually I chose this display, the overall color performance is good, to maintain the ASUS high-end monitor! The color performance is good overall, and it maintains the consistent style of ASUS high-end monitors in the swift series. Overall I can give it a 9/10. If you have a decent graphics card and are considering 4k resolution with a higher refresh rate, you are worth buying this display.

En cuestión estética cumple con la gama gamer y su RGB no es tan vistoso que para mi no importa tanto, con respecto a la instalación con la base no tiene dificultad ya que tiene 2 tornillos instalados que se ensamblan sin problema con el tronco trasero del monitor, el monitor gira hasta hacerlo vertical que para mi me sorprendió, sobre los aspectos visuales con el PS5 y el Series X es una maravilla, para un monitor de 27″ en 4k en un panel IPS los colores se ven muy nítidos, se pueden apreciar muy bien los negros sin tanta luz de fondo, el HDR está decente que para mi está balanceado para que haya buen contraste en la modalidad FPS ya que juego warzone y eso a mi me gusta ya que se pueden ver mejor las sombras y los oponentes a una larga distancia, en cuestión de juegos RPG o de aventuras he estado jugando StarWars Jedi Fallen Order con las fucniones 4K, HDR y a 120FPS en modo calidad de imagen y no en modo rendimiento con respecto a mas FPS, por lo que para mi me gusta juagar mas en ese modo (calidad de imagen) y se ve fantastico, no utilizo mucho la función de VRR por que no veo mucho la diferencia con consolas, aun así este monitor está preparado para jugar con rendimiento en FPS con VRR y HDR ya que cuenta con Free Sync Premium Pro. Para mi de lo mejor para las consolas de nueva generación este monitor, que hasta este momento lo vende amazon EEUU al precio mas bajo que es de 9,929 pesos mexicanos ya con envío ya que estaba alrededor de 13,600 pesos, ya con este precio (9,929 pesos) para mi en lo particular es mejor que el M28U de Gigabyte y el Predator XB283K que manejan esos precios similares.

I ordered the ASUS ROG Swift 27″ 4K Gaming Monitor (PG27UQR) expecting a brand new, high-quality product. What I received instead was clearly used and defective. The monitor was covered in dust, had fingerprints, and even the packaging was in poor condition. This is unacceptable for a product at this price point, and it’s beyond frustrating to pay for a new item only to receive something that looks like it’s been through several hands.

This monitor is supposed to be a premium piece of tech, but what I received doesn’t reflect that at all. The fact that this kind of product is being sent out in this condition is outrageous. I demand better quality control for an item like this! Do not expect to receive a new product when you order this monitor—be prepared for disappointment.
