Had the choice of a 2026 Ultimate in Mirage Green or two-tone Cyber Grey that the dealership had on backorder. Put a deposit on the Grey. Well worth the wait! I'm beyond excited for all the features this thing has and skip the pumps!
Hey everyone,
​
I’m looking to grab a 32-inch 1440p high-refresh monitor and I’m torn between two ASUS TUF models: the VG32AQ3A (3A - Flat IPS) and the VG32WQ3B (3B - Curved Fast-VA).
​
I want to get a display that gives me really crisp, fluid motion, great colour and deep blacks without breaking the bank going OLED or mini-LED. I do like the immersion of a curved screen (currently using one) but not opposed to going flat. I have 2 side monitors as well that are both 1080p, one also curved (27") and another flat in portrait mode on the other side.
​
Here is my setup and use case:
​
PC Specs: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT + Ryzen 7 5800 CPU + 32GB RAM
​
Usual Games: Rocket League (competitive/fast panning), Golf games, Starfield, and Cyberpunk 2077. (Also like to watch movies)
​
Room Environment: Basement setup. No bright natural light, just warm/yellow overhead LED pot lights. I usually game in the dim/dark.
​
My dilemma:
I know the 3B (Curved VA) has a 3500:1 contrast ratio which is perfect for my dark basement and cinematic games like Starfield/Cyberpunk. However, I’ve heard budget VA panels suffer from "black smearing." I play a ton of Rocket League and absolutely love crisp, fluid motion clarity when flipping and camera panning.
​
On the flip side, the 3A (Flat IPS) has the pixel speeds (1ms GTG) for flawless motion in Rocket League, but I’m worried the 1000:1 contrast ratio and "IPS glow" will make space and night scenes (watching movies as well) make the blacks look like washed-out grey in my dark basement.
​
My questions for you guys: For those running a 7800 XT at 1440p, which panel plays nicer with Adaptive-Sync/FreeSync in demanding games? Is VRR flickering bad on the 3B?
​
Will the motion blur/smearing on the 3B VA panel actually be that noticable in Rocket League, or is the "Fast VA" tag legit?
​
Appreciate any real-world opinions or advice from anyone who owns either of these! Thanks!

Had a transformer in or near my backyard (close to Drake and Elizabeth) blow with blue flashes and all in the storm around 645 on the 9th. Knew it was going to be a bigger job to fix.
​
Last night around 130am it did it again. I'm guessing they fixed another spot on this grid and tested only to find more (this one any maybe other) issues to repair.
​
Good news, they are on it! Hats off to the crews out there getting shit done. Much appreciated! Stay safe.
