How did you calibrate yours?
I use an i1 Studio spectrometer to create a correction matrix for each display I calibrate with my i1 DisplayPro.
The "ASUS PG32UQ.icm" profile in the driver download is questionable in usefulness. It looks like it's only a color profile as there is no calibration LUT built into the file. You would think that it was intended for factory settings on this monitor but I can see that it was profiled at 5000K and 180 cd/m2 luminance. That's strange because out of the box the monitor is actually very close to 6500K. I only had to nudge the color controls by 1 point or so.
What OSD settings are you using? It makes sense that gamma 2.4 looks higher contrast than gamma 2.2. But it could crush shadow details when your monitor is in a brightly lit room.
My calibration targets are pretty straightforward. For general usage: 6500K color (or more specifically x,y chromaticity of (0.3127,0.3290)), 120 cd/m2 luminance (your preference, this depends on ambient light level), gamma 2.2.
