Asus’ top-end 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor is $400 off

The Asus ROG Swift 32-inch 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor has almost everything I want in a high-end gaming monitor, most notably a QD-OLED panel for inky black levels and vivid colors that go beyond what’s possible on an LCD screen. Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo have this model on sale for $899.99 (usually $1,299.99). It’s particularly well-suited for fast-paced games with its 240Hz refresh rate, and G-Sync variable refresh rate to prevent screen tearing.

This monitor has been available for this price for most of July. We’re not sure how long the deal will stick around for, but Asus is likely trying to move units at a discount so it can put more focus on its newer $1,299.99 model that has a Tandem QD-OLED display and slightly better specs.

The port selection is good, comprised of a DisplayPort 2.1 input, a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports, and USB-C for video via DisplayPort alt mode (with 90W of charging power), plus a USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub with three Type-A ports. A unique feature is that this and several other Asus OLED monitors have a proximity sensor that let it turn off when you walk away to reduce the risk of burn-in. It has a three-year warranty that covers burn-in with normal use.
