Asus ProArt PA32DC OLED 32"

The Asus ProArt PA32DC is excellent if you want the best possible color and contrast performance. Its OLED panel offers jaw-dropping color coverage and an infinite contrast ratio, beating the brand's other best prosumer models. It's also built around...

It does have less nit brashness in HDR than its LED counterparts but that’s why I think it’s much nicer on the eyes. It’s also not a gaming monitor with a lower refresh rate, it is a fully professional multi-application grading and computer monitor for office and location use, that covers every SDR and HDR colour space all the way to Dolby Vision with a proper black that no LED monitor could ever achieve.

Overall, this monitor provided a strong performance in many areas, with a particular nod towards strong contrast and colour accuracy. Models like the ASUS PA32UCG offer superior HDR brightness capability and a higher refresh rate, but can’t match the exceptional luminance precision offered by the PA32DC and its effective >8 million dimming zones. The monitor doesn’t come cheap, though – we’d estimate the price to be $4000+ based on models using the same JOLED panel (e.g. LG 32EP950 and 32BP95E). For some this would be an acceptable price to pay given the performance and features on offer – some reference monitors, including Sony Trimaster OLED models, cost significantly more without the extra cost being easy to justify.
