ASUS RoG Swift PG35VQ Monitor review - Photo overview

The Monitor

We received this monitor a week or so ago. You can spot them in retail at 2750 USD and in the EMEA at a whopping 2750 Euros. So what do you get when you spend two- to two and a half grand? Well, let's unbox.

     

   
The PG35VQ series offers a properly sized 35" curved display and is among the first of its kind to feature support for G-SYNC Ultimate refresh rate technology in combination with HDR, and all at 200 Hz. The VA panel used originates from AU Optronics and has Full Array Local Dimming backlights based on a very nice 512 zones, and of course the latest iteration of the physical G-sync module from Nvidia.

  • 35-inch UWQHD 21:9 (3440 x 1440) Ultra-Wide HDR gaming monitor with an overclockable 200Hz refresh rate and 2ms response time for super-smooth gaming visuals.
  • G-SYNC ULTIMATE features the latest NVIDIA G-SYNC processors to deliver the best HDR gaming experience.
  • Full Array Local Dimming (FALD) backlight delivers 512 independent LED zones and peak brightness of 1000 nits with DisplayHDR 1000 certification.
  • Quantum-dot display with a wide DCI-P3 90% color gamut provides realistic colors and smoother gradation.
  • Smart fan control dials in the exact rotational speed needed to maintain ideal thermals without overdoing it and causing unnecessary noise.

Yes, you read it right, smart fan control. This monitor once again has an active fan for cooling. I hear everything and anything, and I can hear this fan as well. A total bummer. Not loud but enough to annoy me.

  

 

 
Quick note; if you're thinking of purchasing a G-Sync Ultimate monitor then obviously make sure your NVIDIA GeForce graphics card is compatible, basically you want the performance to match the resolution, a GTX 1080 /RTX 2070 Super or faster card would be recommended for this resolution. For G-Sync Ultimate to work, obviously a GeForce card will be mandatory, you cannot drive G-Sync + HDR otherwise.

HDR by itself should work with supported Radeon cards, just not G-Sync. We do assume you've got the proper gear already. The monitor arrives in a large, full-color box. Included are cables (HDMI/DP/USB) and a manual.

 
 

   

So, a VA screen might not be the favorite type of panel for some, others love it. However, one cannot deny the fact that this one is capable of 200 Hz and HDR and with G-Sync in mind. BTW the monitor defaults to 180 Hz, in the OSD you can enable the overclocking function and apply 200 Hz. We have no idea why these modes still need to be an overclocked modus operandi if it is a default feature of a monitor.

 

 

The monitor has an acclaimed 4ms response time. Built with ABS plastic, the characteristic identity that ASUS offers means a trendy foot adorns this monitor. The display makes use of a RoG design and a feel that clearly appeals to the target audience, PC gamers. There is a fairly large and thick plastic bezel though. The monitor includes HDMI 2.0 and a DisplayPort 1.4 connector as well as a USB 3.0 hub. 

 

 

This is the foot, flipped around. Extremely handy and it brings very minimalistic looks to the monitor. The monitor can be adjusted to different positions, that is a refined monitor arm that can easily move the screen without moving the foot. The screen is very easy to position in the ideal position. It has something hidden in there though.
