Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ Review

ByRamsha Mehmood

The Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ is the world’s most feature-packed ultrawide-aspect gaming display. Curved widescreen with a resolution of 3440 x 1440, Nvidia G-Sync Ultimate, DisplayHDR 1000 compatibility, and a staggering 200Hz refresh rate. Unsurprisingly, it’s prohibitively costly – depending on which side of the Atlantic you’re on. Editors of 4K video with a higher budget may wish to choose the Apple Pro Display XDR for its larger screen.

Color Numbers are awe-inspiring, with a hint of mystery:

The Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ gaming display is one of the best we’ve seen. However, it scored 71.4 percent on the DCI-P3 test, the lowest we’ve ever seen from a gaming monitor. This is especially strange considering Asus’ website rating of 90%. In a ColorChecker test designed to determine how color-accurate a monitor is for professional creatives, the Asus PG35VQ gaming display achieved an amazing 0.91 dE (deltaE; anything below 2.0 is superb out of the box). I measured a minimal input lag of 2.2ms using an HDFury 4K Diva, which isn’t the fastest we’ve seen but is only a fifth of a millisecond slower than the Predator X35. Only CS: GO and DOTA players will notice the difference in speed.

OSD and Setup:

The PG35VQ from the Republic of Gamers is a gigantic 35-inch widescreen that weights 13.6kg and is 833mm wide by 306mm deep. RGB LEDs flare onto your desk at the base, and a large ROG logo with extra lighting and eye-catching patterns adorns the back. Unfortunately, none of the USB ports are on the panel’s sides; instead, they’re hidden around the back and impossible to reach.

Anecdotal Testing:

The PG35VQ proved to be unparalleled in terms of absolute brilliance when it came to gaming. If you’ll excuse the pun, everything a gamer could want is on full show. The ultrawide size envelops you in a world of gleaming, vivid color in our blacked-out testing room. It’s something you have to see for yourself.

Image Quality:

The contrast ratio of the Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ display is 2,715:1, which is greater than Asus’ advertised 2,500:1 value. When gaming with the traditional sRGB gamut, it’s also high enough to give excellent brightness, depth, and punch. The average Delta E of 1.49 at factory settings is below the point where human eyes perceive problems, yet close to the 6500K optimum. The Asus PG35VQ boasts a strong input lag of just 4.9ms, which is more than adequate for e-sports. It’s quiet, but it’s always on, and its high-pitched whine can be heard in calmer areas. The panel’s backlight strength dropped by up to 14% in the corners, which is better than most curved panels and won’t be noticed during gaming.

Pros:

  • HDR photography is stunning. 
  • Input latency is minimal 
  • DAC for headphones built-in 
  • OSD that responds
  • With a refresh rate of 200Hz, you’ll have an amazing gaming experience. 
  • Excellent color accuracy

Cons:

  • Heavy Expensive in comparison to other options 
  • DCI-P3 scores are low.

Conclusion:

If you have the funds, the Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ has the features, power, and prowess to remain at the top of the ultrawide gaming monitor market for the foreseeable future.
