The OLED monitor reviews keep on coming, as today we are checking out ASRock's first entry into this premium market space with the Phantom Gaming PGO32UFS. Using LG's 32in WOLED panel, this screen is notable for its dual mode functionality – meaning it can run at either 4K/240Hz or 1080/480Hz, with the latter mode promising incredible motion clarity. Hitting the market at around £800, let's find out if this screen is worth buying.

It's been a while since we last looked at an LG WOLED monitor, and the latest generation of panel promises a number of improvements over previous versions. The sub-pixel structure has been updated to provide better text clarity, brightness has also increased, with ASRock claiming a peak of 1300 nits in HDR, while there's the aforementioned dual mode feature as well.

On top of that you've got all the usual goodness associated with OLED monitors – infinite contrast, near-instant response times, viewing angles and so on, so on paper the ASRock PGO32UFS looks very impressive. Let's find out how it performs in the real world.

A note on price

During this review we found the PGO32UFS listed on AWD-IT for just over £760, though it is currently out of stock. Both OverclockersUK and Scan have the PGO32UFS listed for £840-850, and it's in stock at both vendors at the time of writing, so it could be worth shopping around for the best deal if you do want to pick one up.
