1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:10,120
we all know Asus makes great monitors but what if I told you that they sent us

2
00:00:04,359 --> 00:00:11,759
the whole freaking kit and Kaboodle Asus

3
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:15,000
sponsored this video so we could take a look at their Rog OLED Master kit which

4
00:00:13,839 --> 00:00:20,840
comes with a monitor arm a handy dandy light

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:25,199
bar for those of you cultured folk who like to keep your desk nice and bright

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:34,719
but finally the piece the resistance their PG 32 ucdm the 4K cutie OLED 32 in

7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,440
240 HZ this thing is amazing and I want

8
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:40,719
to make sure I open it without breaking it it's a thing of beauty what have we

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,800
got in the Box we've got the base of our stand I actually kind of like asus's

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,039
stand this one is huge because it's a 32-in monitor but there you go that's

11
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:51,280
why we've got the monitor arm you know what I'm not even I'm going to take this

12
00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:55,120
stuff out of the box but I'm not even going to use it today I might click clack the monitor but that's about it

13
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:59,480
one thing I love about their stand is how Wild and secure their base the

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,920
column base is like look how good this is you just screw it in like the other

15
00:01:01,239 --> 00:01:07,960
ones but it's got that ring of support got our handy dandy power brick and then

16
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:12,960
after that something that they've been doing for a while now uh that I really

17
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:16,520
appreciate is their little kind of travel kit that has all of the cables

18
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,680
and accessories in it I love it when companies do this fantex also does it

19
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:24,280
with their cases they'll keep like an actual little box for all the screws and

20
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:27,320
whatnot as for what we get in here usbb

21
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,439
usba a cable the rest of our c113 power

22
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:34,759
cable three more cables this is too many cables you guys guys uh that's an HDMI

23
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:37,640
2.1 cable USBC cable because it does 65

24
00:01:34,759 --> 00:01:40,880
WS power delivery 90 WS if you enable it in the menu OSD I don't know why they've

25
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:45,159
got it as a feature that you have to turn on but it is what it is and then

26
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:50,320
our handy DisplayPort cable probably just 1.4 that's okay what is this like a

27
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,159
Vasa adapter or something oh this is probably for the base yeah this is for

28
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:58,640
the base of the stand you just kind of like pop it down there boom just fits

29
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:05,439
real good I won't put it on for now then we've got oh my welcome to the elite

30
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:11,000
republic of gaming and then stickers I will maybe keep the stickers what's this

31
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,200
last thing though

32
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,760
ah this is probably our vesa adapter not

33
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:21,440
100% sure they're typically kind of different for each monitor but that's my

34
00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:27,040
best guess looks like it pretty much lines up with this guy here and then

35
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:33,360
it's beautiful and all I can see is the back but it's all clearly labeled we've

36
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:35,599
got all of dcn HDMI HDMI DisplayPort

37
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:42,400
USB like everything is just nicely labeled very easy to read uh super thin

38
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:46,159
panel with like a giant graphine heat sink and whatever else they've got in

39
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:50,120
the control box it's a beautiful monitor I haven't turned it on yet but I kind of

40
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:53,239
have the same panel at home and I can tell you right now it's really nice I

41
00:02:51,959 --> 00:02:59,920
changed my mind we are going to give it the old click clack there we

42
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:02,440
go this thread here is for whatever you

43
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:06,440
want to mount on top of this guy camera perhaps or even just a ring light for

44
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,239
example my monitor at home doesn't have that and so I've just got my webcam like

45
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:16,360
mounted precariously on the top it looks ugly I can't just easily put a camera up

46
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:19,360
here it sucks I love this thing it's

47
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:22,799
pretty thin really nice we've got a

48
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:25,879
bunch of stand adjustment oh

49
00:03:22,799 --> 00:03:27,599
height we can oh more and more people

50
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:32,200
are going to the column swivel and I'm here for it feels more sturdy one other

51
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:36,159
really nice feature about this before I talk about the I/O is it's flat for

52
00:03:34,519 --> 00:03:38,879
those of you who care so that means when I put it down on our handy dandy desk

53
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,400
pad I don't have to worry about putting it back in the box with the curved foam

54
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:47,640
to make sure I don't put extra pressure on the panel or anything it's just good

55
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:50,840
to go it's beautiful we've got DC power

56
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:53,760
in two HDMI ports probably 2.1 display

57
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:58,239
port 65 W power delivery it's labeled a 65 Watts here but you should be able to

58
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:03,040
change it in the OSD usbb then we've got USB more USB

59
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:06,560
a third USB spit if out and a headphone jack another nice feature that I haven't

60
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,519
noticed on other panels there's actually kind of handles on the side here I don't

61
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:13,560
think they're meant to be used as handles but for instance I wanted to

62
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:17,519
rotate this before I put it down and then check out our monitor arm and it

63
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:21,199
was really easy to do that I'm always scared about moving these things because

64
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:25,320
you know the panel's so flexible but not this time now for the part I'm most

65
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:29,560
excited about I've been wanting to mount my monitor on an arm recently I did it

66
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,560
to my other guy my ultra wide and the other one's just kind of sitting on my

67
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,759
desk taking up space I don't want that I want to put it on an arm make it look

68
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:40,120
real nice so we've got their Ergo monitor arm the

69
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:44,080
a01 and uh I don't know anything about it so let's open the box and see if it's

70
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:49,680
any good we got this adapter plate it looks like everything is as branded Rog

71
00:04:47,039 --> 00:04:54,280
Republic of Gamers oh oh wow that's heavy oh my God they say it can hold up

72
00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:58,080
to a 39 in Monitor and I believe it cuz this thing is Hefty and if this is going

73
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,320
to be like the counterweight that's kind of sitting on there and clamping to my

74
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:07,039
desk then uh yeah it's going to be able to take a quite the load here's the main

75
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:12,759
arm it looks pretty sick actually I love the like giant red spring you can see in

76
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:15,120
there I don't know what these uh 25° 729

77
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:19,600
3 North I don't know any of that means but it looks cool and I'm here for it

78
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,919
and I kind of want this monitor arm now not going to lie all right let me get this assembled and we'll be right back

79
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,880
all right it took a little bit of finagling but it wasn't too bad you know we've got our monitor arm on our desk

80
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:35,199
and look at all this range of motion we got it's so good and look at this we can

81
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:36,639
go portrait if we want to we can go all

82
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:42,319
the way upside down if we want to we're not going to do that at all but we could

83
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:46,360
now though what I really want to see is this light bar because you know Andy

84
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:50,960
loves his light bar I've seen it Tastefully used in a lot of other

85
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:54,280
people's setups but I personally don't want a light bar at least not on top of

86
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:59,880
my monitor so I don't really get it but maybe today's the day maybe today they

87
00:05:57,039 --> 00:06:03,840
convert me Whoop I'm guessing think this is the light I don't

88
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:09,840
know let's find out what this fancy secret thing is it's probably the mount

89
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:11,960
it is that's not so secret oh I don't

90
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:15,319
know why this is so entertaining it's got like the perfect amount of tension

91
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:19,680
on a spring with a weight that's got some rubber on the end it's their

92
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:22,840
patented clamp and magnetic Buckle so you spin the knob and then this clamp

93
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:27,720
opens up the other way and it closes wow okay

94
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,800
it's pretty cool this is another thing where I'm actually going to have to look at the guide cuz uh never installed a

95
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:35,840
light bar before they've got this nice little cut out there for your USBC cable

96
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:40,759
so that you can power it pretty nifty will cable manage as to the best of our

97
00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:43,639
abilities it may not be super easy but we'll try now that we've got it plugged

98
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:50,400
in we're just going to try to put it on here somewhere uh like this sure that

99
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:54,720
seems like it's counter weting enough I'm not super sold on the counterweight

100
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:57,360
thing it's got a clamp system on it but the clamp is going to cover a ton of the

101
00:06:56,039 --> 00:07:02,199
screen and there's nothing back here that it could clamp onto but you know what as long as don't move your monitor

102
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:08,879
all that much even if you do like this is fine it's not really going anywhere this

103
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:12,240
looks okay but I can't really see the light from the light bar too much

104
00:07:10,479 --> 00:07:17,360
because of our studio lights Glenn can you uh C out the lights just for just

105
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:22,039
for a moment okay we're in our Asus display widget Center Software here to

106
00:07:19,479 --> 00:07:25,080
adjust our light bar however what I just found out is if you you know scrolling

107
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:29,879
through here it's just changing like color temperature and then if I click it

108
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:33,680
it's brightness pretty nifty click it again and it's color temp but we can

109
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:36,759
change a whole lot right here these are the RGV settings it might be nice if you

110
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:40,560
could make the you know front of the light blue or something like that but

111
00:07:38,599 --> 00:07:44,520
people don't want that I guess I do I'm not sure how sold I am on having a light

112
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,960
bar in general but being able to control it here is pretty nice being able to

113
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,879
change like the color temperature and brightness of your screen light as well

114
00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:55,720
as the Aurora RGB on the back it's pretty handy being able to do it in one

115
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,400
single place on my computer so I don't have to touch anything else I just keep

116
00:07:57,039 --> 00:08:02,400
my hand on the mouse and click click click away there's even an advanced setting that lets you customize it to

117
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,639
use different lighting for different apps and browsers whether you're big on

118
00:08:04,479 --> 00:08:10,360
light bars or not the anti-reflective coating on the glossy screen is actually

119
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:14,280
doing a pretty good job you see it on and this reflection is getting diffused

120
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:20,759
out quite nicely so it's a lot less distracting but what I want to know is

121
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:23,520
how good are those 03 millisecond

122
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:28,039
response times on OLED pixels well they're really good but we're going to

123
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:30,680
try it let's play some good old CS2 oh I

124
00:08:28,039 --> 00:08:35,760
got to say it's there's a reason I bought a monitor similar to this as soon

125
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:41,279
as they started launching like yeah once you get up to like 360 Herz and higher

126
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:47,720
OLED pixel response times are basically perfect especially with the new 480 HZ

127
00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:50,760
that's out this year but 240 with the

128
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:54,480
instant pixel response time it's just so

129
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:56,880
good 4K as well on a 32in screen it's

130
00:08:54,480 --> 00:09:00,959
like this is the monitor for me and then the cool thing is I'm not finding any

131
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:05,360
terrorists but the cool thing is once you've got this kind of you know on an

132
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:09,160
arm say you want to like kick back and relax you know watch some content you're

133
00:09:06,959 --> 00:09:14,360
good like this but then you want to get into the Zone

134
00:09:11,079 --> 00:09:18,200
boom now we're gaming this is yeah I

135
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:22,000
mean I lost but now I'm gaming no matter

136
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:24,480
which OLED monitor you get in 2024

137
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:28,560
they're all beautiful like absolutely stunning however one little nice trick

138
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:33,880
that this does that's it's not doing right now cuz this isn't Dolby Vision footage but it does have Dolby Vision so

139
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:38,360
if you are going to watch some movies mastered for that content you can watch

140
00:09:36,279 --> 00:09:43,880
it on here and it's going to look great we did whole LTT on DV vers hdr10 plus

141
00:09:41,959 --> 00:09:48,040
and while the difference isn't amazing it's not night and day people could tell

142
00:09:46,079 --> 00:09:52,880
let's talk about how it tested though when we tried it in user mode it was

143
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:59,640
actually very color accurate in SDR we measured an average Delta e 2000 of just

144
00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:02,079
1.06 with a Max of 2.13 super Super

145
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:06,120
Color accurate out of the box as for HD color accuracy we measured a Delta ITP

146
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:13,360
average of about 17.5 and a Max of about 38 40 that might

147
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:18,040
seem a little high and it is but Delta ITP is a lot stricter than Delta e2000

148
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:22,320
and for HDR measurements we've been switching to that to try to give you a

149
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:26,360
better picture then yep smaller numbers still getting a little smaller and

150
00:10:23,959 --> 00:10:32,000
finally for brightness we reached our advertised 1,000 nits I think it was

151
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:34,079
like 990 8 sorry two nits off but it's

152
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:40,360
just good I don't know how to explain it guys if you want a flat monitor then the

153
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:44,200
PG 32 ucdm is probably for you it's just

154
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:45,560
a beautiful beautiful device and uh I

155
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:50,279
don't know maybe I'll feel some buyers regret when I go home today I'm not sure

156
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:54,399
all I know is this looks incredible and I can't wait to just go stare at it some

157
00:10:51,720 --> 00:11:00,120
more so this has been the Rog OLED Master kit you can get the monitor for

158
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:03,160
about 1,300 bucks the light bar is 170

159
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,639
and then the monitor arm is about $200

160
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:09,040
so overall if you want the whole package it's going to cost you a pretty penny

161
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:12,240
but uh you know single piece meal maybe you just want the monitor maybe you just

162
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:15,800
want the light bar maybe you just want the monitor arm I don't know but

163
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,560

164
