Asus’ top-end 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor is $400 off
Asus has cut the price of its ROG Swift 32-inch 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor to $899.99, down from $1,299.99, in a deal running at Amazon, Best Buy and B&H Photo. The PG32UCDMR model offers deep black levels and vivid colours thanks to its QD-OLED panel, along with a 240Hz refresh rate and G-Sync support, making it well suited to fast-paced gaming. The discount, which has held for most of July, likely reflects Asus's effort to clear stock ahead of a newer $1,299.99 model with a Tandem QD-OLED display.
The monitor includes a DisplayPort 2.1 input, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and USB-C with 90W charging via DisplayPort alt mode, plus a USB hub with three Type-A ports. It also features a proximity sensor that switches the screen off when no one is present to help prevent burn-in, backed by a three-year warranty covering burn-in under normal use. The article also flags other current deals: Bungie's extraction shooter Marathon for $21.99 on Steam via Newegg, the Anker Nano Smart Display Charger Block for $25.99, and Sennheiser Accentum Open Wireless Earbuds for $59.99 at Best Buy.
In short
- Asus ROG Swift 4K QD-OLED monitor now $899.99, was $1,299.99
- Features 240Hz refresh rate, G-Sync, and burn-in protection
- Also on sale: Marathon on Steam, Anker charger, Sennheiser earbuds
Explained simply
Gaming monitors are display screens made specifically for playing video games. They prioritise speed and visual quality to give players smoother, more responsive gameplay than standard computer monitors.
QD-OLED is a screen technology that produces very vivid colours and deep blacks. Screens using this technology are considered among the best available for both gaming and watching films.
Asus is one of the world's biggest makers of computer hardware, and this monitor is one of its premium gaming models. Steep discounts on models like this often signal that manufacturers are clearing stock to make room for newer versions.
