ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG: Asus releases new glossy 480 Hz OLED gaming monitor
The ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG has now become available to purchase following its debut during the spring alongside the ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWG. As we have covered separately, the latter landed in China at the end of last month. Shortly afterwards, the ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWG arrived in Europe, where it remains available for €1,099.
Now, the ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG can be picked up in the Eurozone for only slightly more than its ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWG counterpart. For context, the ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG utilises a 32-inch and 4K WOLED panel produced by LG Display. A 240 Hz gaming monitor by default, the ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG can double its refresh rate to 480 Hz by dropping its resolution to 1080p.
Additionally, the ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG features a Neo Proximity Sensor, a KVM switch, a custom heatsink and OLED Care Pro technologies to mitigate OLED burn-in. However, a stand-out feature is its TrueBlack Glossy coating, which it shares with the ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWG. Allegedly even glossier than previous glossy WOLED gaming monitors like the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM (curr. $1,199.99 on Amazon), TrueBlack Glossy is said to provide a zero-haze experience while reducing ambient reflections by over a third compared with previous glossy WOLED panels.
Currently, the ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG can be found on retailers like Computer Universe and Digitec. At the time of writing, the new monitor costs €1,199 (~$1,393) in the Eurozone to make it €100 more expensive than the ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWG. Meanwhile, Digitec is charging CHF 1,113 (~$1,372), which is equivalent to €1,181 at current exchange rates. As it stands, Asus is expected to launch the ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWG in the US before the end of the summer for $949.
