Asus ROG Swift 32-inch 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor Drops to $899 at Major Retailers

The Asus ROG Swift 32-inch 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor is currently available for $899.99, down from its regular price of $1,299.99, at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo. The monitor features a 240Hz refresh rate, G-Sync variable refresh rate support, and a QD-OLED panel capable of deep blacks and vivid colors beyond standard LCD displays. Connectivity options include DisplayPort 2.1, dual HDMI 2.1 ports, USB-C with 90W charging, and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub. A built-in proximity sensor automatically turns off the display when the user steps away, helping reduce the risk of burn-in, and the monitor carries a three-year warranty covering burn-in under normal use. The discount has been in place for most of July, with Asus likely clearing inventory ahead of pushing its newer Tandem QD-OLED model at the same $1,299.99 price point.
