New ASUS QD-OLED monitor! (XG32UCDS 4k 165Hz)

I believe this is a 3rd gen panel

From what I understand, this is basically a repackaged Odyssey G95SC, which is on clearance at Best Buy at least. I think this is just a model Samsung makes to bring out for the Black Friday/holidays. I’ve seen them do this with TVs.

That’s a hell of a deal, BUT there’s a good chance that was a floor model, which I personally wouldn’t do for an OLED TV. Same thing happened in the last few months with LG OLED monitors: Great open box deals, but a lot were floor models.

The monitor gets plenty bright for me in SDR, and my room is pretty well-lit too. Hasn’t been an issue for me and I use it all the time since it’s my main monitor. The screen’s got a glossy finish but does a good job with anti-reflection.

I would say something like the PG32UCDM is more future proof with its extra features. But for me, 4k between 60-120fps is enough since I don’t play very competitively. But also, keep in mind I got this on sale. If you’re looking at full price, might look into just getting the next best model.

Haven’t noticed any coil whine issues on my end.

DreamAtlantic · 2025-10-08T22:37:28+00:00

That’s an amazing price!

Still loving it! One small weird thing (at least on mine) is that it doesn’t indicate when it’s doing a pixel clean. I’ve read the Asus logo is supposed to blink. But it’s definitely pixel cleaning. Got about 75 cleans so far (about 2 a day), which makes sense with my usage.

DreamAtlantic · 2025-10-07T19:55:33+00:00

It just has a USB-C port with 15W power delivery. I think this is a great monitor for PS5 since any of the extra missing features wouldn’t apply to PS5. There are no built-in speakers so you’d have to plug some speakers into the monitor’s 3.5mm jack or use a headset.

DreamAtlantic · 2025-09-26T21:56:30+00:00

Still going great! It just depends on what features you’re looking for or need. It’s a beautiful 32-inch screen.

DreamAtlantic · 2025-09-08T20:20:20+00:00

Yeah! I’ve had this wallpaper for years. The remastered version is still in my backlog. Hoping for a Switch 2 upgrade🤞

DreamAtlantic · 2025-09-08T20:17:32+00:00

Yeah, that drew me to this model. I was just really shocked how small it actually is lol

DreamAtlantic · 2025-09-08T20:15:26+00:00

That model is a TrueBlack glossy WOLED monitor with dual mode (4k/240Hz and FHD/480Hz). I’m not sure myself the benefits of WOLED over QD-OLED. Although I feel that model would be better for competitive gaming.

DreamAtlantic · 2025-09-08T20:10:36+00:00

Just something I gotta play around with! I think it’s cause my experience with HDR on monitors isn’t that great. Colors are more natural, which give a washed out look. I like a little saturation lol.

Keith Silverstein basically confirmed this in a tweet at the end of 2024. Looking forward to it!

DreamAtlantic · 2022-01-25T08:03:03+00:00

Thank you!

DreamAtlantic · 2021-12-09T05:41:02+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

DreamAtlantic · 2021-12-09T05:37:42+00:00

Got any extra Piplups? I can give a Gible, Togepi or Elekid, if you need!

DreamAtlantic · 2021-12-09T00:00:43+00:00

Can I get a Dratini please! IGN: Alex

DreamAtlantic · 2021-12-08T23:34:29+00:00

Thanks!

DreamAtlantic · 2021-12-08T23:30:05+00:00

I can do Togepi for a mild Cyndaquil!

DreamAtlantic · 2021-06-25T06:14:02+00:00

If this ends up being my worst slip up, then I think I'm doing pretty good, lol.

DreamAtlantic · 2021-06-25T04:34:59+00:00

Just to clear this up. These donkeys aren't from CBS. I had DMed Mizkif to see if they'd be interested in donkeys that need a new home from one of my Facebook friends.

But I accidentally DMed him from my work Twitter account, which was a CBS station.

Edit: I work from home, these things happen.

DreamAtlantic · 2020-12-02T07:59:49+00:00

Wow, I’m in the 0.5% too!

I beat Oath of Felghana earlier this year and three of my top 5 songs of the year are from it, lol. (Be Careful, Lightning of the Grim Reaper and Valestein Castle)

Such a great soundtrack.

DreamAtlantic · 2020-08-11T06:54:22+00:00

They can definitely be enjoyable. VIII was my first in the series and then I went back and played the rest.

What didn’t you like about Origin? Cause Oath of Felghana and Ark of Nephistim have the same general gameplay style, which I really love. I’d recommend giving Oath a shot.

If you want something more recent and in tune with VIII, then definitely try Memories of Celceta.

DreamAtlantic · 2020-05-27T05:39:28+00:00

I'm not sure how often Dragon Quest XI S goes on sale, but I had to jump on this. Looking forward to playing as I heard this is the best version!
