4.5 stars

Asus has unleashed the ROG Swift PG42UQ OLED, a 41.5-inch behemoth that legitimately could be the only monitor you'll ever need for the foreseeable future of gaming.

4.5/5

The best big-screen gaming monitor

Top Product

The OLED panel offers super deep blacks and a virtually infinite contrast ratio, which is of course excellent for gaming. We also think the good contrast is crucial for crisp colors, which come out all the stronger with the contrast. Without a doubt, this technology outperforms conventional LCD panels in almost every characteristic.

Overall the Asus ROG Swift PG42UQ is a great gaming monitor, but whether it's the best choice for you will likely come down to personal preference, your gaming setup, and of course, pricing. Because this monitor is built using LG's excellent OLED panels, there weren't too many surprises in the performance department, and Asus has added a few neat bonuses that enhance this display relative to the LG C2.

When I agreed to do this review and substituted my 55″ TV with the 42″ ROG Swift OLED PG42UQ monitor for my PS5, the experience should feel like a downgrade by right. But instead, the monitor ended up being an overkill. And now, after being pampered by the monitor for a whole 2 weeks I found myself in a difficult position and reluctant to revert back to my TV using days.

ROG Swift OLED PG42UQ Review

The Asus ROG Swift PG42UQ OLED is unabashedly the perfect screen for anyone looking for a 'Swiss army knife' in terms of practicality, effects and systems to connect to a PC, the latest generation of consoles or, trivially, a 4K Blu-Ray player.

Perfect for both PC and console gaming, the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG42UQ sits somewhere between monitor and television, in both cases providing excellent image rendering, both in terms of picture quality and response time, whether we are talking about movies or video games.
