ASUS is leading the charge for Computex 2025, and one of the many products the company has unveiled is new additions to its OLED gaming monitor lineup, specifically the ROG Strix WOLED XG32UCWG, a 4K at 165Hz and FHD 330Hz dual mode monitor.

One of the biggest problems with OLED gaming monitors is how prominent reflections can be with the display. These reflections can cause the pixels underneath them to appear brighter than they actually are, and ASUS has concentrated on fixing that problem with its new addition to its OLED monitor gaming lineup. The XG32UCWG is a 4K WOLED with the company's new TrueBlack glossy coating.

This new glossy coating is designed to significantly reduce the amount of reflections that are seen when light sources are directly hitting the panel. In addition to the TrueBlack glossy coating, the new monitor has a frame rate boost feature enabling it to switch between 4K at 165Hz to FHD (1920 x 1080p) at 330Hz. To accompany these glorious new specifications, ASUS has equipped the new monitor with OLED Care Pro features, which include the new Neo Proximity sensor, which has been updated with a new UI to show users how far away they are from the IR detection scanner.

Neo Proximity Sensor

This feature is designed to quickly dim the display as soon as a user has exceeded the set distance, which is a feature ASUS has implemented to mitigate any burn-in with OLED monitors. As with all of ROG's new gaming monitors, they come with the suite of AI features, such as AI visual dynamic shadow boost, dynamic crosshair, enhance, and much more.
