Top Product

The OLED panel offers super deep blacks and a virtually infinite contrast ratio, which is of course excellent for gaming. We also think the good contrast is crucial for crisp colors, which come out all the stronger with the contrast. Without a doubt, this technology outperforms conventional LCD panels in almost every characteristic.

Video Reviews

Honestly, Asus has done a really good job with the ROG Swift OLED PG42UQ and we daresay that it is worth that extra bit of cash for it especially if you’re going to be using it with a PC. Having a DisplayPort is a huge benefit, and so are the other nifty things like a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Hub, the matte coating, the implementation of Uniform Brightness and the fast wake from sleep amongst many other things.

BEST Gaming OLED Monitor? | Asus PG42UQ in the test

SHOULD YOU BUY A 4K GAMING MONITOR IN 2022 ?

The highlight is the oled technology. The remote control is very useful for navigating the control panel. Very good response time. Price is high but fair for the experience it offers. In conclusion, the PG42UQ offers to date a perfect and unforgettable gaming experience, imposing itself as the best gaming monitor currently available on the market that a fan of adventure, simulation or shooter titles, budget and desk permitting, really cannot give up.

It is a wonderful monitor, with very low response time and a very up-to-date Oled panel. Since it is a monitor, it is great for pc, with the inputs best suited for a mixed pc-console setup

The monitor is absolutely great, color rendition, contrast. For gaming, OLED is definitely worth it, but you need to have a powerful PC setup in mind as well.

The ASUS ROG Swift PG42UQ is not a flashy entry to the best gaming monitor list but is brimming with quality. Its unassuming appearance did not deceive gamers, as it packs a punch and provides an amazingly fast gaming monitor. Furthermore, its OLED display is a delight to use for gaming and entertainment because of its inherently limitless contrast, beautiful color, and issue-free lighting. The default setup performed well, and the sRGB emulation mode is decent.

What I like the most about the PG42UQ, though, is that despite its large display real estate, the gaming monitor’s thin frame and its panel don’t feel imposing or that it takes up more space than other monitors of similar size that I have reviewed in the past. For another matter, the fact that it is an OLED HDR panel that virtually makes all the colours come alive and look absolutely more vivid.

It may look bulky, it may seem excessive, but it is the perfect solution for those who want a monitor for gaming, movies, and the office. The OLED panel is dreamy for entertainment, given the sensational colors, and remains off-limits exclusively for those who want to engage in competitive gaming at high levels, where a smaller size remains preferable instead.

To exploit the full potential of the Nvidia GeForce Rtx 4080 graphics card, it is good to accompany it with a suitable build. To build the computer to support this test, we have chosen components capable of supporting it ad hoc.
