In this review, we will be putting the ASUS Rog Swift PG42UQ through its paces. The big one with an OLED panel. The panel itself is said to boast 99% DCI-P3 coverage, 4K resolution, and true 10-bit color; that's the one that you want, right?

TVs don't have adaptive refresh, key difference. Gsync/freesync isn't on TV units.

Yes it is.

Does this monitor has a digital optical out?
From the specs it say yes :

But the ports in the review looks like only having headphone jack....

A reviewer's feedback would help me to understand this particular feature nicely.
Thank you for the time!

Nice find! If you zoom in on the engraving the audio port says S/PDIF, the headphone jack is most likely similar to macbooks and supports mini Toslink optical audio.

Thank you for pointing out for me! I didn't know mini toslink existed! I have been hunting for the connecting socket that looks squarish and ignoring headphone like holes
