ASUS Upcoming ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM is a 27-inch 4K 240 Hz Gaming Monitor

Others might not agree on the scaling, but each to their own.

Im just on the fence on next monitor. I know itll be OLED and 4k, but im leaning towards jumping up to 32, but if i do that, my 2nd monitor needs to be 32 also, so may just need to go all in then. Or just upgrade my main and stay 27. I dont like when multi monitor setups use different monitor sizes hah

Actually 100% scaling of 2160p on a 27" monitor seems to be OK (for me). I tried it with the Dough Spectrum One last year and you can have it a reasonable 2.5' to 3' away from your face without the pixels looking mashed together and such. Take this from a middle-aged guy with bad eyesight (heavy astigmatism on left eye, mostly near-sighted).

costs more than the 32" MSI one we have but now it is inferior at 27" though

Higher pixel density makes it inferior?

Same here dude. I have astigmatism in left eye as well. I wear contacts with -6.50 power. Im basically blind lol

Are you running windows with any scaling? Seems like shit would be tiny

For many years I've run my 27" 4K monitor at 200% scaling, but I also position the screen beyond arm's length. Prompted by this discussion I'll try running 175% today...

Since I'm about to buy the PG32UCDM, but it ‘only’ has DP1.4 so far (presumably an updated model coming soon?), I'm wondering what advantages DP2.1 should have with an RTX5090. Isn't HDMI2.1 completely sufficient?

HDMI 2.1 is sufficient only for transfering 120Hz at 2160p with 10bit colours. HDMI 2.1 tops at 48Gbps transfer speed.

When I get mine I'll probably run 150%.

do you really need me to explain the meaning of my sentence? can you not figure it out.... sigh...

HDMI 2.1 48Gbps and DP 2.1 40Gbps are basically on par since they use 2 different encoding schemes.
16b/18b on the HDMI 2.1, leads to 41.89Gbps of effective bandwidth.
128b/132b on the DP 2.1 (all three standards), leads to 38.69Gbps for the UHBR10 version.

4k240hz 10bit RGB requires 68.56Gbps. If you apply the minimal DSC compression (16bit/pixel), bandwidth decreases to 36.56Gbps.
So, DP 2.1 UHBR10 (+UHBR13.5) and HDMI 2.1 48Gbps give you the same visual result.

Hi,may I ask, if I have 4080super, I use HDMI2.1 and open DSC for the 27 inch 4k oled monitor will be better than using dp1.4 with DSC?

Technically, yes. DP 1.4 requires a more compressed signal (10bit/pixel) due to the lower effective bandwidth.

No. HDMI 2.1 can only reach 4K 240hz with DSC. The PG27UCDM will have DP 2.1 which the 50 series graphics cards will have, and DP 2.1 can reach 4K 240hz without DSC. If you want a 32 inch 4K 240hz I'd look into the Gigabyte FO32U2P, otherwise I'd wait for the PG27UCDM.

Okay then. As I want a 32“, 4K, passive cooling, glossy or semiglossy and DP2.1 the Gigabyte monitor seems to be the only choice now. Would‘ve preferred a 32UCDM with DP2.1 but that‘s not in sight.
