366nits4Reviewtftcentral.co.uk/reviews/asus-rog-swift-pg42uq-oledRead 5 October 2026V031 firmware SDR maximum approximately 366 nits at 10% white window, Uniform Brightness off and 100% OSD brightness. UB on gives approximately 195 nits across APL/window sizes. The stored 366 value keeps its small-window condition and is not full-screen. Exact input is unstated. The same review reports measured absolute Adobe RGB coverage of 93.7%, with the numeric CIE basis unstated. Its chromaticity diagram is identified as CIE 1976, which does not separately establish the numeric coverage basis. This measured gamut result stays in source context because there is no dedicated measured-gamut field, rather than becoming a generic manufacturer coverage claim.
