Dell's 32-inch QD-OLED Monitor with 4K resolution undergoes evaluation for gaming, revealing an attractive price point for enthusiasts.
For gamers seeking the ultimate immersive experience, audio quality is just as important as visual fidelity. However, most gaming monitors prioritise display quality, refresh rate, and response time over onboard sound systems. In this article, we'll explore some top-tier gaming monitors that stand out for integrating or supporting enhanced audio features.
ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM and PG32UCDM
The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM and PG32UCDM are premium gaming monitors with OLED QD panels, offering vivid colours and deep blacks critical for immersion. While these monitors emphasise picture quality, the PG32UCDM notably supports Dolby Vision, which implies compatibility with Dolby Atmos audio workflows when paired with appropriate external audio equipment, enhancing immersive sound experiences.
Alienware AW3225QF
Another high-end gaming monitor worth mentioning is the Alienware AW3225QF. This 32-inch 4K QD-OLED panel monitor also supports Dolby Vision, making it an excellent option for pairing with setups designed for both stunning visuals and advanced Dolby Atmos audio, particularly for Xbox Series X gaming. Although the monitor itself doesn't have integrated speakers of exceptional quality, its Dolby Vision compatibility facilitates rich, immersive multimedia and gaming experiences when coupled with external audio systems.
BenQ Mobiuz EX321UX
Monitors like the BenQ Mobiuz EX321UX lack built-in speakers of high repute but offer eARC support (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), which enables easy connection to external soundbars or home audio systems to deliver immersive audio. This can be useful if audio immersion is a priority, as you can pair the monitor with high-end external sound solutions.
Although no gaming monitor is widely documented for having truly exceptional built-in audio that rivals dedicated gaming speakers or headsets, the combination of a high-quality QD-OLED gaming monitor with Dolby Vision support (like ASUS ROG Swift PG32UCDM or Alienware AW3225QF) plus an external Dolby Atmos-capable sound system or headphones is the optimal setup for an immersive audio experience.
Summary of Best Options for Immersive Audio in Gaming Monitors:
| Monitor | Display Type | Size | Key Audio Feature | Notes | |------------------------------|-----------------------|-------|---------------------------------|--------------------------------| | ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM | 4K QD-OLED | 32" | Dolby Vision support | Best picture, Dolby Atmos compatible with external audio | | Alienware AW3225QF | 4K QD-OLED | 32" | Dolby Vision support | Top for Xbox Series X with immersive Dolby audio via external speakers | | BenQ Mobiuz EX321UX | Mini LED | 32" | eARC support | Facilitates connection to external immersive audio devices |
For those prioritising audio immersion, focus on monitors with Dolby Vision and eARC support capabilities combined with external audio hardware, rather than expecting built-in speakers to fulfil this role.
