Gaming review: High-speed performance and stunning visuals on the Asus ROG Strix XG32UCWMG 4K OLED monitor for gamers
The Asus ROG Strix XG32UCWMG OLED monitor has been praised for its excellent color accuracy, grayscale tracking, and gamma performance, according to a review by Tom's Hardware.
Out of the box, the XG32UCWMG boasts a wide color gamut, covering up to 99% of DCI-P3. This makes it suitable for a variety of uses, including gaming, entertainment, and productivity. The monitor's enhanced glossy screen layer further improves clarity and color saturation.
Tom's Hardware notes the monitor's strong grayscale tracking, which supports great contrast and deep blacks, a hallmark of OLED panels. The gamma performance is also premium, producing natural and consistent image tones.
The XG32UCWMG supports HDR10 (DisplayHDR 400) and has very fast response times (~0.03 ms GTG), enhancing visual quality during dynamic scenes. The TrueBlack film minimizes reflectance while preserving contrast, indirectly supporting the perceived grayscale and gamma quality.
In the color gamut test, the XG32UCWMG finishes third, with a score of 2.03dE, speaking well of the OLED genre. The sRGB option in the Color Space menu of the XG32UCWMG yields an average error of just 1.31dE, making it an equally accurate option for photographers and graphics professionals.
Calibration is not required for the XG32UCWMG, but it is available should you wish it. After calibration, the monitor scores 0.95dE in the color gamut test, putting it among the most color-accurate monitors tested. However, calibration introduces a slight gamma anomaly at 70-90% brightness.
In the grayscale and gamma tests, none of the six monitors in the comparison need calibration, so they are visually equal. All four screens in the comparison hit the 1dE barrier in the color gamut test, demonstrating professional-level accuracy.
In summary, Tom's Hardware considers the XG32UCWMG OLED monitor to have premium, accurate color, and excellent grayscale and gamma performance, making it hard to fault for image quality in its class.
