ASUS has launched the ROG Strix OLED XG32U in the Philippines, a premium 32‑inch OLED gaming monitor built for speed and contrast. The display utilizes a WOLED panel with a TrueBlack Glossy, zero-haze surface, designed to maintain deep blacks and image clarity even in brighter rooms while reducing reflections. It supports native 4K at up to 240Hz, with an optional dual‑mode that switches to Full HD for an ultra‑fast 480Hz refresh rate. HDR peaks at up to 1000 nits, and motion handling is rated at 0.03ms (GTG). Adaptive‑sync support covers both NVIDIA G‑Sync Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro.
