Operating Instructions

Dual Mode Functionality (4K 240Hz / FHD 480Hz)

The ROG Swift PG32UCDP features a unique dual-mode display, allowing you to optimize your visual experience based on content. You can switch between two distinct display modes:

• 4K (3840x2160) at 240 Hz: This mode provides high-resolution visuals, ideal for detailed graphics, content creation, and immersive gaming where visual fidelity is paramount.
• FHD (1920x1080) at 480 Hz: This mode prioritizes ultra-high refresh rates, optimized for competitive gaming where every millisecond of response time and fluid motion is critical.

This mode can typically be toggled via a dedicated hotkey on the monitor or through the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for specific hotkey instructions.

Third-Generation ROG OLED Technology Enhancements

The monitor incorporates advanced third-generation ROG OLED technology, delivering several visual improvements:

• Increased Brightness: Experience up to 15% brighter imagery at 10% APL (Average Picture Level) in HDR content, enhancing visual impact.
• Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB): This feature improves motion clarity, reducing blur in fast-paced scenes for a sharper viewing experience.
• Clear Pixel Edge: Optimized text clarity ensures that text appears crisp and easy to read, which is beneficial for both productivity and gaming.

On-Screen Display (OSD) Navigation and DisplayWidget Center

Adjust monitor settings using the OSD menu, typically accessed via a joystick or buttons on the monitor. For a more intuitive experience, the DisplayWidget Center software allows you to access OLED Care functions and adjust various monitor settings directly from your computer using a mouse. This software provides a user-friendly interface for fine-tuning display parameters.

AI Assistant for Gaming

ROG OLED Anti-flicker Technology

This technology is specifically engineered to mitigate screen flicker that can occur during rapid refresh-rate changes or fluctuations. By stabilizing the display, it provides a more consistent and comfortable visual experience, particularly beneficial during dynamic and fast-paced gaming sessions.

Uniform Brightness Setting

An optional uniform brightness setting is available to ensure consistent luminance levels across the entire screen. When activated, this feature helps to eliminate variations in brightness that might occur in different areas of the display, which can be particularly useful for tasks requiring precise color accuracy or for reducing eye strain during extended viewing periods.

These features are crucial for preventing burn-in and ensuring the display's optimal condition over time.
