The ROG Swift PG42UQ is the 42-inch OLED gaming monitor I’ve been waiting for
Asus ROG OLED monitors on a starry background.

Asus announced two new OLED gaming monitors at CES 2022, including the world's first 42-inch 4K OLED display. The monitors may target gaming with their high resolutions and refresh rates, but Asus says they come with excellent color and contrast thanks to the OLED panel, as well.

There are two versions available, a 48-inch model (PG48UQ) and a 42-inch one (PG42UQ). We've seen 48-inch OLED displays before, including the Gigabyte Aorus FO48U and LG C1, but never a 42-inch display.
