FULL STORY
======================================================================

Plenty of impressive gaming monitors, components, and accessories made their 
debut during CES 2024, and one of them has finally been released: the Asus 
ROG Swift PG32UCDM. 

What makes the Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDM gaming monitor stand out among others 
in the market is that it combines a 32-inch screen size with a 4K resolution 
and a 240Hz refresh rate. Finding a 4K gaming monitor with such a high 
refresh rate is incredibly difficult and one with a large display, even more 
so. 

Its other specs are quite solid as well, including an OLED screen, a response 
time of 0.03ms, G-SYNC compatibility, 99% DCI-P3 color gamut, HDR support, up 
to 1000 nits of peak brightness, and more. It even comes with its own custom 
heatsink that keeps its mainboard cool, which is extremely important for a 
display with a built-in OLED panel to keep from overheating. 

It also comes with decent connectivity options including both DisplayPort 1.4 
(DSC) and HDMI 2.1, USB Type-C with 90W power delivery, an earphone jack, and 
three USB Type-A ports. 

However, all this advanced tech does come at a higher price, with the MSRP 
being $1,299.99 (about 1,030 / AU$1,990). That's not an unreasonable price 
considering everything it comes with, but the average consumer will still 
have trouble affording it. Availability is also an issue, as its difficult to 
find at retailers. Why is it so hard to find? 

As I previously mentioned in my guide for how to buy the best gaming monitor 
, a 4K gaming monitor with a 32-inch display would be squarely in the casual 
gaming market, since combining that high of a resolution with a high refresh 
rate is rather difficult. 

But the fact that the Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDM has all of these features and 
more, all for a price thats much more affordable than most inferior 4K 
monitors, makes it intriguing. 

Which is why its availability is such a sore spot for me. Even the official 
Asus online store is currently out of stock, let alone the other retailers 
that dont seem to have it either. Unfortunately, this is a common reality in 
tech  products being promoted during major events, released, and then 
immediately becoming a chore to find and purchase. 

And this is in the US, where much of this tech originates from in the first 
place. Other regions and countries almost always have it worse, with many 
never seeing such products. Hopefully, this issue will be fixed soon, as it 
makes little sense to release great technology thats so hard to find. You
