Amazing Display. Extra Packaging from Newegg

Pros: - Borderline perfect color accuracy in SDR and HDR - Perfect gamma tracking with no black crush - Can hit 1100 nits in Console HDR - Black Shield film corrects purple tint of previous gen, mitigates black level raise in bright room - Wealth of OLED care options that are customizable and non-intrusive - Excellent build quality
Cons: - Tripod stand takes up quite a bit of desk space - Poor retail packaging- screen is only protected by a thin cardboard clamshell
Overall Review: I previously owned the AW3225qf, and currently own the MSI MPG 321urx. The PG32UCDM3 is a vastly superior monitor. The main thing that stuck out right away after unboxing and powering on is the borderline perfect color accuracy. Colorimeter results in Racing- sRGB color space with Gamma 2.2 are excellent, with avg DeltaE of less than 1.0 and perfect gamma 2.2 tracking. Color accuracy also extends to HDR. Shadow detail is close to perfect (significantly raised on AW3225qf and black crush on 321urx), colors are punchy but not oversaturated (oversaturated on the 321urx, with some undersaturation on AW3225qf). Everything just looks right. HDR EOTF tracking is excellent. To my surprise, this panel gets slightly brighter than previous gen 32" 4K QD-OLED. The MSI 321urx topped out at around 1020 nits, but the PG32UCDM3 hits close to 1100 nits in Console HDR mode (the most accurate HDR mode). Gaming HDR pushed that even further- I measured peaks of about 1150 nits- but it comes with some EOTF oddities, and there is some tone-mapping happening as Windows HDR calibration tool and in-game cal screens report around 1300 nits. The HDR experience across all modes is excellent though. HDR on the AW3225QF suffers from significantly raised near black levels (due to inadequate heat dissipation), while the 321urx has a good amount of black crush and oversaturated colors. Not so for this display- its as close to perfect as you can get within the current power limitations of QD-OLED. Black shield coating is a good improvement over previous gen. Blacks appear deeper, especially in a dark room. The purple tin of previous gen is gone too- this is actually noticeable in normal content, with cleaner grayscale performance. Its a real improvement on the biggest weakness of QD-OLED, and I would say its worth spending a few hundred extra vs previous gen PG32UCDM. Finally, I need to address the packaging. The retail packaging is shockingly sparse. The panel is only protected by a flimsy cardboard clamshell with a cutout in the middle. The accessories are packaged on the back side of the monitor, so the face of the screen is literally a few inches away from the outer box. I can totally see how people would receive damaged screens if its shipped in the retail box. Thankfully, Newegg placed mine inside an additional box with quite a bit of bubble wrap and air packets. It came in flawlessly, only thanks to Newegg eating the extra cost on packaging. Asus really needs to revise the packaging.
Beast!

Pros: This thing is a beast. I haven't had any trouble running games at full graphical settings. BF 2142 runs with maxed out settings like a dream. This card should handle Bioshock easily.
Cons: A little big when inside the case, but not a major issue so long as you plan your build accordingly.
Overall Review: For the extra video memory, this card was worth it.
Easy and quiet

Pros: Very light, decent amount of room, stylish exterior with nice blue LED's!
Cons: When door is open and the computer is powered on, it causes minor noise, like a slight humm or vibration.
Overall Review: Despite some minor buzzing noises when the door is open, this case keeps things extremely quiet. Space is decent, although it can be a little limited after putting in one of the newer graphics cards and the like. Otherwise, easy build. I would recommend this case to anyone looking for a stylish, lightweight option for a new gaming rig.
