Best Gaming monitors with 4k QD OLED

Alienware AW3225QF VS ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM VS Gigabyte Aorus FO32U2P VS MSI MPG321URX QD-OLED

4 Gaming monitors with 4k QD OLED Comparison

Alienware AW3225QF

The Alienware AW3225QF is a QD OLED monitor with 240Hz and 4K that costs less than competing screens. It is also the only one with a curved panel. The screen has a fairly basic feature set but has no multi-function USB-C port. The menu options are also limited, and unfortunately, there is neither a good Display P3 mode nor an Adobe RGB mode. The display for ‘normal’ sRGB content is good, even better than some photo editing screens, and the AW3225QF also offers excellent HDR color reproduction, albeit with limited brightness. The mode with the highest peak brightness sometimes actually darkens the image. Like other QD OLED screens, the AW3225QF has speedy response times, excellent viewing angles, and, of course, perfect contrast, but it also has a mirrored screen surface and color fringing around the small print.

Positives

• Excellent color adjustment for sRGB and HDR
• Lightning-fast response times
• Wide viewing angles
• Cheapest 4K QD OLED monitor

Negatives

• No USB-C connection
• Mirrored screen

ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM

The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM is one of the best QD OLED monitors with 240Hz and 4K at the moment, but also the most expensive. ASUS has built-in all kinds of extra features. This is one of the few OLED monitors with 120Hz black frame insertion, which helps prevent motion blur at the lower refresh rate but does not look sharper than a 240Hz image. The multi-function USB-C port offers 65 or 90W power delivery, depending on the screen brightness chosen. The color adjustment for sRGB and HDR is very good, as is the reasonably good Display P3 color reproduction. Similar to other QD OLED options, this monitor offers extremely fast response times, excellent viewing angles, and, of course, perfect contrast, as well as a mirrored screen surface and color fringing around small print. The maximum brightness is limited, especially for HDR images, where the mode with the highest peak brightness sometimes actually makes the image darker.

Positives

• Excellent color adjustment for sRGB and HDR
• Lightning-fast response times
• Wide viewing angles
• 120Hz BFI
• A multifunctional USB-C port

Negatives

• Mirrored screen
• Pricey vs. alternatives

Gigabyte Aorus FO32U2P

The Gigabyte Aorus FO32U2P is one of the best QD OLED monitors with 240 Hz and 4K. The screen has a large number of connections. There are two DisplayPort 2.1 between the five image inputs, allowing the screen to display the 4k/240Hz signal without compression, although this is of little use for the time being. Potentially useful are the multifunctional USB-C port with 65W power delivery, the extensive KVM feature, and the DisplayPort out. The color reproduction is very good across the board, both for SDR and HDR, although not the very best of the QD OLED screens we tested. The FO32U2P does offer an Adobe sRGB mode that many other models lack. Similar to other QD OLED options, this monitor offers speedy response times, excellent viewing angles, and perfect contrast, as well as a mirrored screen surface and color fringing. The maximum brightness is limited, especially for HDR images, but the Gigabyte can be slightly brighter than other tested models.

Positives

• Very extensive connections
• Good color adjustment across the board, Adobe RGB mode
• Lightning-fast response times
• Wide viewing angles

Negatives

• Mirrored screen

MSI MPG321URX QD-OLED

With its QD OLED panel with 240Hz and 4K, the MSI MPG321URX QD-OLED is one of the best gaming screens of the moment. The screen offers speedy response times, excellent viewing angles, and, of course, perfect contrast, but it also has a mirrored screen surface and color fringing around the small print. The screen does not have a high maximum brightness, especially not for HDR images, where the mode with maximum peak brightness sometimes actually makes the image darker. Compared to competing monitors with this panel, the MSI has a relatively inconspicuous design and broad feature set, with 90W USB-C power delivery and a KVM switch. The USB 2.0 ports are not really up to date. The color accuracy for sRGB and HDR displays is not bad, but competitors do better. The MSI MPG321URX does have a good Display P3 mode and an option for Adobe RGB. Other brands still fail to display this mode on their screens.
