These are a moderate width at the top and sides, at ~15mm (0.59 inches). A single-stage matte black bezel surrounds the entire screen, covering the panel border effectively. The monitor does away with bright colours or other ‘gamery’ additions on the screen itself. You need a very specific software workflow to leverage 10-bit capability – if you wish to do so, you need to use DisplayPort on this model. For the purposes of our testing, the applications we use are limited to 8-bit under SDR anyway. 10-bit processing is still used for HDR, but a dithering stage is offloaded to the GPU (or system) – as we explore, the end result is very similar. Given that it’s marketed as a console gaming monitor this is officially specified without mention of ’10-bit’. *HDMI is limited to true 8-bit on the monitor. Some of the key ‘talking points’ of the specification have been highlighted in blue below, for your reading convenience. A 5ms grey to grey response time is specified, but as usual approach this figure with caution. More specifically, an Innolux AAS (Azimuthal Anchoring Switch) VA-type panel is used.
This monitor employs a 60Hz VA (Vertical Alignment) panel with 3840 x 2140 (‘4K’ UHD) resolution and support for 10-bit colour. As we’re reviewing a monitor here and there’s so much crossover in terms of system capability, this will give you an excellent idea of what to expect when gaming on a modern games console with the monitor as well.
Both under SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) and HDR. We put this monitor through its paces in our usual suite of tests, which includes desktop usage, movies and PC gaming. The ASUS CG32UQ is marketed primarily towards console gamers (no prizes for guessing what ‘CG’ stands for) but shares that feature-set that will appeal to many PC users as well.
Modern games consoles and modern gaming PCs both support high resolutions and HDR (High Dynamic Range), so having a monitor that properly supports this can be very attractive. In terms of capability and feature-set, the lines have become increasingly blurred between for console gaming and PC gaming monitors.
