The core design of the ASUS ROG PG32UQ is almost identical to its more expensive sibling. In fact, the only differences here comes down to the styling, as the actually chassis of the monitor appears to be exactly the same. The PG32UQ just loses the copper and gold accents of the PG32UQX, and instead we have a more toned-down neutral colour scheme.
It still looks very much like a gaming monitor, especially when viewed from the back, with the big ASUS ROG logo illuminated by RGB LEDs, but from the front I don't mind this design at all.
The stand offers a decent selection of adjustability too. We find up to 100mm of height adjustment, swivel up to 25° in both directions, as well as tilt, from 25° upwards to 5° downwards. Just like the PG32UQX, there's no pivot or rotational ability here, but VESA 100 mounts are support if you have a custom stand or monitor arm.
One key benefit to the PG32UQ versus the PG32UQX comes in the form of its I/O. We find 1x DisplayPort 1.4, but crucially, there are two HDMI 2.1 ports – the PG32UQX was sadly limited to HDMI 2.0 connectivity, but this is now corrected with the PG32UQ. Alongside a 3.5mm audio jack, we can also note a two-port USB 3.2 Gen1 hub.
Lastly, the OSD is controlled with a small joystick, as well as four secondary buttons. These are located on the back right corner of the display (when viewed from the front).
