Good luck! I have not had fantastic experiences with Asus but I hope they make you wholeWell my PG32UQ seems to have died
Went to log in to work on Friday, display wouldn't power on. Swapped in another display (Gigabyte M28U), came right on, worked perfectly. Sat the ASUS aside for the rest of the day. Came back in the evening and plugged it in directly to the wall with no inputs. Surprisingly it came on. Didn't have much time to mess with it so unplugged it and put it aside again until today.
Connected it to my main desktop today and it came on but was stuck in a boot loop. Managed to factory reset it during one loop and it seemed to have corrected the issue. Went away for a bit and came back, now no power again no matter what.
Just submitted an RMA - will be interesting to see how this goes.
It has the A-TW Polarizer, ffs!..LG UltraGear 32GQ950
My favourite for this year:
LG UltraGear 32GQ950
Now I’m waiting for a Release date/Price and a Review.
So? In my world this is a good thingIt has the A-TW Polarizer, ffs!..
DHDR1000 on an IPS display without a FALD with a very high number of LEDs is highly likely to be unusable in practice. Look at all the issues people are complaining about in the PG32UQX thread.Oof, and I was just about to purchase an LG ultrawide. Having the HDR1000 rating...this thing will probably be pretty expensive at launch. right?
I meant to say finally a decent monitor with a polarizer. It is a good thing of course. Last time I heard anything about consumer monitors with polarizers was about ten years ago, and that thing rocked for displaying black color without IPS glow.So? In my world this is a good thing

You do realize ALL lcd's in the world have polarizer layers right? The reason you have not heard anything about them is because the best polarizer is one that doesn't affect viewing angles, and virtually all monitors/tvs/display that use LCD technology have the exact same type of polarizing layers. This "new" polarizer is not new at all. On the DIY forums people have been experimenting with removing and replacing the polarizing layers with other types, trading contrast and black level for terrible viewing angles.I meant to say finally a decent monitor with a polarizer.

Ye, we talk about A-TW polarizer, not just polarizer.You do realize ALL lcd's in the world have polarizer layers right? The reason you have not heard anything about them is because the best polarizer is one that doesn't affect viewing angles, and virtually all monitors/tvs/display that use LCD technology have the exact same type of polarizing layers. This "new" polarizer is not new at all. On the DIY forums people have been experimenting with removing and replacing the polarizing layers with other types, trading contrast and black level for terrible viewing angles.
Should also mention for people who are unfamiliar. Every LCD, whether a monitor, tv, or whatever, has two polarizing layers. Without one or both of them, the LCD would appear to be 100% white with no visible image. Years ago I used to make projectors with old LCD monitors. Part of the process involves removing the anti-glare film off the panel to allow more light to pass through for projection use. Often you would end up accidentally removed part or all of the top polarizing layer with it, rendering the screen useless without replacing the entire polarizer.
Further into the world of projection, Epson's famous "ultra black" technology found in the LCD based projectors is precisely this, a polarizer with an extremely narrow viewing angle. However since the panels are in a projector, viewing angles no longer matter since the final image is projected on a fabric screen and the lens aperture is at a 90 degree angle with the panel image. The narrower the viewing angles, the more contrast and black level is achievable on an LCD. LG is marketing this as a "true white" polarizer, suggesting it will do the opposite. It will likely increase the viewing angles, but trade away contrast and black level doing so, making the already poor contrast ratio of an IPS, that much worse.
This affect can already be seen with Samsung's and Sony's "ultra wide viewing angle technology". They turn VA panels with 5000:1+ contrast ratios, into VA panels with 1300:1 contrast ratios simply by using wide angle polarizers. Increasing viewing angles, destroying contrast.
For me it is the PG32UQX. Its absolutely an incredible monitor. FALD tech still has a long way to go, but it really has been one of the biggest upgrades I have ever experienced in my 20 years of PC gaming.So guys, what are your favourite Monitor’s this year? Mine are:
- LG 42C2 (my favourite so far, but no Heatsink/no EX Panel, just why?!)
- LG 32GQ959 (Is it really just Edge LED instead of FALD?)
- Samsung Neo G8 (Panel lottery is gonna be awful)
- Acer X32/FP (is it the same Panel as the PG32UQX? Yuck)
- Alienware/Samsung 34 QD-OLED (Release End 2022/Q1 2023 + Price will be cataclysmic and unfortunately 1440p instead of 4k)
So M32U arrived and I hooked everything up...and it did not power on! Lol.Got tired of hunting for an M28u and decided on an M32u (at least temporarily until the "perfect" 32" monitor exists).
I'm hoping I'm lucky and it works well for my needs.
Did you flip the power switch next to the plug?So M32U arrived and I hooked everything up...and it did not power on! Lol.
And of course Best Buy has none in stock
Nope, but I just just figured out there is a switch a few minutes ago...and I already returned it. There is no mention of the switch in the included documentation and did not see it when plugging in the power. Oops!Did you flip the power switch next to the plug?
Ahahahahahahahaha, nice oneNope, but I just just figured out there is a switch a few minutes ago...and I already returned it. There is no mention of the switch in the included documentation and did not see it when plugging in the power. Oops!
I know some are not mechanically inclined, but I don't understand how something like this was missed. Although, I get yelled at daily for not seeing things right in front of my face by the wifey, so I guess no I do understand.Nope, but I just just figured out there is a switch a few minutes ago...and I already returned it.

I manage to sometimes miss things that are right in front of me.I know some are not mechanically inclined, but I don't understand how something like this was missed. Although, I get yelled at daily for not seeing things right in front of my face by the wifey, so I guess no I do understand.
I certainly did that (I looked/felt around the sides/back of the monitor where a"switch" would usually be placed). The ports are tucked away under the screen and are difficult to get up unless the screen is face downI manage to sometimes miss things that are right in front of me.
That said, you'd think that "ok, it's not powering on, what's going on" would lead to some looking around the monitor to find a power switch...
...or the monitor had other issues anyway so the next one will be perfect (at least, that's what my wife thinks )I only knew about the switch after reading reviews. Still doesn't change the fact the 3 I had all had dead pixels and coil whine. Someone out there had the perfect M32U and returned it because they didn't know about the power switch.
What's the best in this category under $1000 USD? M32U? I have a 1440p ultrawide on my racing rig currently but plan to play a decent amount of GT7 on the PS5 which doesn't support 1440p. This seems like the best alternative, I would go cheaper but I kinda want HDMI 2.1 and 144hz.
Thanks, it’s mainly just going to be a sim racing screen and a backup console screen if my C1 is in use. Motion clarity and response times would be the primary concern so I think I will go with the M32U and maybe swap it out with a 42c2 if they are a reasonable price down the road. Or if I can’t stand 16:9 for racing maybe I will go a different route entirely.The M32U or Asus PG32UQ are you're best bets, it just depends what you're after. If you want faster response times, get the M32U. If you want greater color gamut coverage, then get the PG32UQ.
February coming to an end and still no news on Acer X32 FP.
Gonna go out on a limb here and assume it's delayed.
X32 and X32 FP are different. FP was supposed to be out in Feb.Why would there be anymore news/updates in Feb when the monitor isn't coming out until Q3?
