it’s a good deal ?

Trying to decide between the Asus ROG XG32UCWG or the XG32UQDMS.

XG32UCWG:
- 32 inch 4K 165HZ or 1080p 330hz
- WOLED
- Glossy Finish

XG32UQDMS
- 32 inch 4K 240hz
- QD-OLED
- Semi-Glossy Finish

Trying to determine which one to get and which I would like better. I have a have issue with OLED monitors that look washed in SDR and HDR modes and especially HDR monitors that still look super dim. I play in rook that gets self Windows light and some light from one lamp during the day, and then at night it’s just the lamp. Which do you think has the better HDR and doesn’t looked washed out, or are they both good and then it’s just 165hz vs 240hz?

Изначально из коробки этой проблемы не было, но спустя пару недель звук появился, потом как и я сказал видео я зафиксировал обороты помпы на 2600 оборотов и звук и в играх и на рабочем столе пропал. Но теперь звук вернулся, и сейчас звук есть в играх постоянно будь то высокие или низкие обороты. Подскажите пожалуйста, сдавать по браку или можно провести какую то диагностику по решению этой проблемы?

BIOS update tool - Version V2

25.06 MB 2026/07/01

Name: ASTRAL-RTX5090_V2.zip

Update:

1. Enhanced system and driver security.
2. BIOS update for "Quiet Mode", for a more silent fan curve

Since the price i high for me i want to be sure about some things

- Is battery life really 16 hours? even 14 would be enough. i'm speaking of connection with dongle + NO Anc (i don't need it) + NO immersion (i don't know if i need it)

- How do i secure them to my ear? are they somewhat rigid so that you bend them and they keep that position? both to adapt the arc to my ear and to put the speaker part closer to the inside

- is there a software for PC? i don't want to use the phone to change settings

- this is just curiosity: i read there is 2,4 ghz dongle but i also read that it uses LC3+ codec...wait...LCR is a BT codec. BT and 2,4ghz connection are 2 different things. 2,4 has 0 latency (maybe 1-2ms) and LC3+ has 20ms that is still good but it's not the same thing. Can anyone clarify this point?

Thanks

I have tried many fixes, but none seem to work

I've been dealing with an ongoing freezing issue with my ASUS ROG Strix G18 G815LR since the day I bought it, and I'm wondering if anyone else with the same model has experienced something similar.

I've followed every recommendation from ASUS Support, including updating Windows, the BIOS (current 338), firmware, drivers, and completing all of the troubleshooting steps they suggested. Unfortunately, the freezing still happens. On average, I have to force shut down the laptop at least twice a day.

I don't use it for gaming at all. My workload is mainly Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat), web browsing, and general office work.

Laptop specifications:

• Model: ASUS ROG Strix G18 G815LR
• CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX (24 cores / 24 threads)
• RAM: 32 GB (2 × 16 GB SK Hynix 5600 MHz)
• SSD: 2 TB ADATA LEGEND 710 NVMe
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (12 GB) + Intel Graphics (2 GB)
• OS: Windows 11 Pro

During the warranty period, I contacted ASUS Support and was told that, because there wasn't a repair centre in the UK for this model, the laptop would need to be sent to an overseas service centre. I rely on it for work, so I kept trying to resolve the problem myself instead of sending it away.

Now, just a few days after my one-year warranty has expired, ASUS has told me that any repair or further investigation will be chargeable.

To be honest, I'm really disappointed. I paid a lot for a laptop with these specifications, yet it's been freezing from day one and it's becoming increasingly difficult to work productively.

At this point, I'm considering doing a completely clean installation of Windows and installing only the software I actually need, just in case there's something causing a conflict.

Has anyone with the same model (or similar specifications) experienced random freezing? If so, did you ever find the cause or a permanent fix? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Whenever I press the power button, the logo pops up for a few seconds and then everything goes black. If I wait, fans start to spin fast too.
