asus rog strix xg32v review a

   From time to time i like to compare (remember) what we had many years ago with what we have today and one of the things that really stand out is monitor screens. I mean just think about it, back in the 90's we all had CRT screens which weren't just extremely bulky and heavy but they had limited sizes (21" was the largest consumer oriented model) and resolutions (most models didn't exceed 1280×1024) and on top of those they were also really bad for our eyes. Of course, the first TFT screens weren't that far behind since they made their debut in the late 90's but it wasn't until 2004-2005 that we were finally able to get large screen models with relatively good specifications. Today it's a whole different market and even though most consumers seem to place monitors last in terms of significance when building a new system there are some which have managed to reach extreme levels of popularity. The ROG Strix XG**V line of curved gaming monitors by ASUS is among those and today I’ll be testing one of the best-selling models of that line, the XG32V(Q).


   For years since its establishment, ASUS aimed to put an ever-greater emphasis on PC gaming. This process resulted in the 2006 founding of the Republic of Gamers brand (ROG), formed for the sole purpose of delivering the most innovative hardcore hardware for truly dedicated gamers. Since then, the efforts of the ROG team have led to a constant flow of PC gaming technology that has become legendary among enthusiasts for its performance. ROG is more than just hardware, though – we take an active part in the global gaming community, helping develop the industry by sponsoring events such as PAX and Dreamhack. Worldwide media have recognized ROG as a leader in PC gaming and overclocking performance, with many of our products winning awards and gaining very positive feedback from hardware pros. With this great response from gamers and the industry, ROG has all the resources it needs to keep working on enabling even better experiences – technology never sleeps, nor should the action!


   The XG32VQ is a 32-inch (31.5-inch to be precise) 16:9 wide curved monitor based on a SVA panel (8-bit depth/93ppi pixel density/WLED backlight) featuring 178 degrees viewing angles (horizontal/vertical), WQHD resolution of 2560x1440, 144Hz refresh rate (Adaptive-Sync/FreeSync), 4ms response time (grey to grey), 125% sRGB color gamut, 3000:1 contrast ratio and brightness level of up to 300cd/m2. The XG32VQ also sports a 1800R curvature with anti-glare coating for optimal viewing results, adjustable stand (height/swivel/tilt), Aura Sync compatibility, GamePlus technology (4 different crosshairs/timer/fps counter/display alignment), ultra-low blue light filters (5 stages) and flicker-free technology. As for available connectors (I/O) the ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ comes ready with two USB 3.0 ports, DisplayPort v1.2, Mini DisplayPort, HDMI v2.0 and an earphone jack.
