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?

at that price they should put out the factory with better white point and far better greyscale.
or they don't cuze the screen cannot handle banding correctly? :V
dci-p3 ip3 should event mentioned on the box if they cannot get close enough......or was the measurement tool just wrong? looks like the second, the measured gamut looks more like a P3 gamut. real question is: how good is srgb profile :V when you target a profile going above it isn't good like going below it unless you use an ICC/ICM profile (which doesn't work on exclusive fullscreen mode but whatever).

this may help you : https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/427121e62a
What's the name of the bigger one? PG48UQ? Is it the exact same specs as this one just 6 inches bigger? Also, do you know if the stand can be adjustable height wise (like the Alienware UW for example)?

stand is not adjustable (which saves money) but there's a VESA mount (on the rather large size i believe 400mm)
and while they're the same specs, there will always be a different pitch size from 42 to 48 on any type of display including oled
so the difference will be the seated distance and role of this monitor (i.e. family or solo use).

I really like the white out on the photos, to be frowned on in most cases. But this time it looks great. Its nice to see someone making an effort in making a photo you just want to look at for a little longer.

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.
