Every time a new OLED gaming monitor comes out of late, it seemingly poses pretty much the same question. Is this the one, is this the model that effectively “completes” the task of gaming monitors, that represents 2D panel technology perfected? Give it up, therefore, for the latest candidate, the Asus ROG Swift PG32UCWM<\/a>, a 32-inch 4K model.<\/p>\n

There’s a lot to keep up with when it comes to OLED panel technology developments, but big news here is the inclusion of a new LG Tandem WOLED panel with RGB-stripe subpixel structure. We’ve already seen LG’s Tandem WOLED tech in 32-inch 4K trim recently in another Asus monitor, the Asus ROG Strix XG32UQWMS<\/a>. But that didn’t get the RGB-stripe version of the new panel type, instead retaining the additional white subpixel LG has long used to boost brightness in an “RGWB” configuration.<\/p>\n

In theory, then, this new panel has it all. You get the very latest LG Tandem WOLED panel generation with all the benefits that brings, but applied to a pure RGB-stripe subpixel structure. That’s it then, job done, the perfect OLED gaming monitor?<\/p>\n
