Review: Asus ROG Swift PG42UQ 138 Hz OLED monitor

Review: Asus ROG Swift PG42UQ 138 Hz OLED monitor

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?

The 34 inch Alienware OLED monitor is only 3.5k and is (still) on preorder for £1099

For my postal code, I get this message from Dell's website:

Yeah same here, it's only available for "(pre)ordering" and takes at least 30 days. I was tempted to get one if it would have been readily available, even though I don't know what to do with my old AW3420DW.

Anyway, the ROG price premium will always be absurd, everyone should be used to it by now. I'm just curious how well it performs over time, and if it's actually going to be easy to buy one in the first place...

Cool but that randomly changing and low brightness, the price and size makes it a no go for me, tho I love its great colors and rich blacks.

Review: Asus ROG Swift PG42UQ 138 Hz OLED monitor

Hmm i se someone says 1400 quid for this but far as i can see the price is like 1600?? Peak HDR at 8-900 nits. I only had my LG C2 for a week but it tells me maximum is 1499nits that is quite a big leap. Also got my C2 for only 799Euros wich im super stoked about with some grand luck.

Seems like a great monitor but 1.300€ is out of my reach.

I paid 500€ for my current screen and that was already crazy, at least for me...

my neighbor has had the Alienware 32" since April, but then he works for Intel and Dell is their largest OEM.


for the 42", there is no ROG "tax" (surprising because i expected one) the 42" is priced as the best value high-end 4k monitor -
with prices hundreds of dollars below its smaller competition.
the REAL battle is the battle of the OLEDs - the Aorus 48" is selling for $300 less (in US), but with these mods and specs, that's $300 well spent. where i'm at the LG C2 42" is selling for the same price.

this is what i've been waiting for (HH's review) as validation of the tweaks Asus has taken.
i'm buying this bad boy
