| The ROG Strix OLED XG32UQDMS is another 4K, 240 Hz and 32-inch OLED gaming monitor by Asus. |
In an unexpected move, Asus has kicked off the launch of its highly anticipated 32-inch OLED gaming monitor in the UK, sending a jolt of excitement through the PC gaming community. The ROG Strix OLED XG32UQDMS, which made its global debut on paper just a few weeks ago, is now officially up for grabs.
Retailer Scan UK has silently opened pre-orders for the display, marking a tangible step towards availability after Asus initially listed it with a vague "by the end of March 2026" European launch window. This early green light suggests Asus is pushing to get this contender into the hands of gamers sooner than anticipated.
A Familiar Yet Potent Panel
At its heart, the XG32UQDMS is built around a trusted and exceptional foundation: a third-generation QD-OLED panel. This is the same cutting-edge technology found in acclaimed predecessors like the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM, renowned for its perfect blacks, stunning contrast, and vibrant colour.
This translates to a flagship visual specification sheet:
- Resolution & Refresh Rate: 4K (3840 x 2160) at a blistering 240Hz
- Response Time: An incredibly fast 0.03 ms Gray-to-Gray (GtG)
- HDR Certification: VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black, ensuring exceptional contrast and shadow detail in supported games and content.
For gamers, this combination is the holy grail: crystal-clear detail for immersive worlds and a super-smooth, tear-free experience in fast-paced competitive titles. You can explore the full official specs on the Asus ROG product page.
Strix Series Pragmatism: Cutting Costs, Not Corners
As part of the more accessible ROG Strix lineup, the XG32UQDMS makes a few strategic compromises to hit a more aggressive price point. The most notable omission is a USB-C port with power delivery, a feature reserved for the higher-end Swift series.
However, Asus hasn't stripped it bare. The monitor still includes a practical 2-port USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub for peripherals, along with full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 inputs to handle the 4K/240Hz signal from modern GPUs. Ergonomics and flexibility are covered with a fully adjustable stand and standard 100x100mm VESA mount support. A handy Neo Proximity sensor that dims the screen when you step away is also included, a small quality-of-life touch for OLED longevity.
UK Pricing and Availability
The strategic cost-cutting is immediately apparent in the UK price. Scan has listed the ROG Strix OLED XG32UQDMS for £798.98 (including 20% VAT). This positions it as a more affordable alternative to its Swift siblings while commanding a roughly £50 premium over the 27-inch model in the same Strix OLED family, the XG27UQDMS.
For UK buyers eager to secure this 4K OLED powerhouse, pre-orders are live now at Scan UK, with the first shipments currently slated to begin on May 6, 2026.
This sudden pre-order launch firmly plants Asus's flag in the competitive 32-inch QD-OLED arena. By offering the core, game-changing panel technology at a Strix-series price, the XG32UQDMS is poised to become a dominant force for gamers seeking the ultimate visual fidelity without breaking the bank.
