ASUS has officially listed their new 32-inch ROG Strix XG32VQR display on their website, which means that this new premium FreeSync display should be coming to market soon, offering users a large FreeSync 2 HDR compliant VA panel with a wide colour gamut (125% sRGB) and a high 144Hz maximum refresh rate.

For the most part, this display is identical to ASUS’ existing ROG Strix XG32VQ monitor, offering the same 1440p resolution, a similar VA-type display panel, a 4ms grey-to-grey response time and a 1800mm curvature. 

The difference between the ROG Strix XG32VQ and ROG Strix XG32VQR is HDR support, with the ROG Strix XG32VQR holding both a DisplayHDR 400 and FreeSync 2 HDR certifications. It is worth noting here that FreeSync 2 HDR surpasses the DisplayHDR 400 certification in most regards, while also requiring low levels of input latency, a must for gaming applications. 

When looking at the peak brightness of the ROG Strix XG32VQ and ROG Strix XG32VQR, we can see that ASUS has upped the display’s peak brightness from 300 nits to 450 nits, with the screen also supporting a FreeSync range of 48-144Hz, which is more than enough to enable AMD’s Low Framerate Compensation (LFC) technology. 

Like other ASUS XG series displays that XG32VQ comes with ASUS Aura Sync lighting, allowing this monitor to offer RGB illumination that matches your PC’s Aura lighting scheme. ASUS’ unique stand design also offers users a range of adjustment options from Swivel (+50 to -50 degrees), Tilt (+20 to-5 degrees) and height adjustments (0 to +100MM height). Connectivity wise this 1440p VA display comes with an HDMI 2.0, dual USB 3.0, DisplayPort 1.2 and Mini Displayport connections, as well as support for standard earphone jack.

At this time ASUS has not listed an official retail price for this display, though it is expected to be high given this display’s advanced feature set and its premium design aesthetic.
