Asus unveils ROG Strix OLED monitors with TrueBlack Glossy coating

Asus has expanded its ROG Strix gaming monitor line-up with two new OLED models, the XG32UCWMG and XG32UCWG. While QD-OLED monitors have dominated the market over the last couple of years, these ones are the first in the world to offer 4K WOLED panels with TrueBlack Glossy film.

This anti-reflective panel coating, designed specifically for ROG, aims to drastically reduce ambient reflections by 38% compared to previous glossy WOLED panels. This helps preserve true blacks even under bright lights and potentially reduces eye fatigue. Asus's Clear Pixel Edge technology is also included to help eliminate colour fringing on text and fine lines.

Another interesting feature of these monitors is the one-tap Dual mode. This allows gamers to quickly switch between the native 4K (UHD) resolution and a lower FHD (1080p) resolution, unlocking refresh rates of up to 480 Hz for the XG32UCWMG and 330 Hz for the XG32UCWG in FHD mode. Thanks to it, it eliminates the need to choose between visual quality and competitive speed. Built on 4K WOLED panels, these displays offer OLED's signature near-instantaneous response time (up to 1 ms GtG) and excellent motion clarity, supported by technologies like Extreme Low Motion Blur and OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0. The monitors also include DisplayHDR 400 certification and wide colour coverage, hitting around 125% of sRGB and 96% of DCI-P3.

Beyond performance, Asus has packed in advanced features for panel longevity and user convenience. An updated OLED Care Pro suite includes pixel refreshes, picture shifting, and logo brightness limiting to mitigate burn-in risk. Then there's the Neo Proximity sensor, which detects user presence, automatically muting the screen when you step away to preserve the panel and instantly waking it upon your return (with adjustable distance). For added peace of mind, a three-year burn-in guarantee is included with each display.

The monitors feature a new ultra-compact stand, designed for space-saving with a 60% lower footprint than previous ROG 32-inch OLED stands. Despite being more compact, it offers the same full ergonomic adjustments, including tilt, swivel, and height adjustment. Built-in Auto KVM allows seamless switching between two connected PCs using a single keyboard and mouse, and the DisplayWidget Centre program further simplifies settings, KVM control, and firmware updates from the desktop. Both monitors provide multiple ports, including two HDMI 2.1, one DisplayPort 1.4, one USB-C with 15-watt power delivery, a USB hub, and a headphone jack.
