I hope this is a sign that prices for 32-inch 6K display parts become cheap enough for a 32-inch 6K iMac to start at $1,799.

As early a 2021 I really wanted to retire my 2012 iMac 27 2.5K but I want a 27" or larger display and don't want to spend extra for separates as I replace every decade due to my non-tech work.

Below are the 32" 6K displays available today.

Model	Launch Date	Launch Price	Known Lowest Price
Apple Pro Display XDR	Dec 10, 2019	$4,999–$5,999	~ $4,500 (rare resale)
Dell UltraSharp U3224KB	May 2023	~$3,199	~$2,560 (Dell sale)
LG UltraFine 32 6K (32U990A)	Announced Jan 2025	TBD (~$2,480?)	n/a
ASUS ProArt PA32QCV	August 2025	$1,299	n/a

That’s the same DPI as 5K at 27”, by the way.

There's just one small problem: years ago, I bought an Asus monitor with a camera for a Mac mini. After the first major operating system update, the camera disappeared and all I could see was a black screen. Asus support didn't seem interested in the problem.
Some time later, the power supply also started malfunctioning.
In short, I won't be buying from Asus again.

Give me 32 inch, 6k OLED with 240Hz refresh rate and I will give you the world.

 

[zakarhino]

When I can write code so fast that a 60hz frame rate becomes a concern, I’ll be very happy.

But scrolling through documentation, your code files, and moving your mouse around will feel like junk. My 240hz monitor only works at 60Hz with my iPad connected and it's borderline intolerable for everything outside of typing.

Is the price really $1299? Amazing if so for that resolution, color gamut and brightness. I almost don’t believe it.

Some folks acuity for this is clearly very different. I genuinely can’t tell much difference. Even getting a window and shaking is back and forth is just a meh difference for me 🤷‍♂️

 

[klasma]

Just gonna leave this here: Refresh Rate (Max) : 60Hz

6K 120Hz lossless RGB requires more bandwidth than even Thunderbolt 5 provides. But yeah, they could do something in-between.

Plus this is a 6k display. I’m not aware of any display at 6k with higher than 60hz at any price.

Great deal, but does it have to look like ass?

ASUS is planning to release its 32-inch 6K ProArt Display PA32QCV in August, with the device set to compete with Apple's Pro Display XDR and Studio Display. The upcoming ProArt Display was first announced at CES in January, but it's finally ready to launch.

The display has a 6016 x 3384 resolution, and ASUS says it offers Delta E>2 color accuracy, 98 percent DCI-P3 gamut, and 218 pixels per inch. Displays are calibrated at the factory for color accuracy, and there is a Mac-specific P3 color preset option for consistent colors on Macs. Macs can use the ASUS DisplayWidget Center for quick adjustments to brightness, contrast, and color temperature, and when a Mac is connected to the display, the display's brightness can be controlled with the built-in Mac brightness button.

Apple's Pro Display XDR features the same resolution and pixel density as the ASUS 6K ProArt Display, and ASUS promises text that's "sharp and easy to read," along with "enhanced visual clarity" for creative professionals. The ProArt Display supports HDR10 and VESA DisplayHDR 600 for bright whites and dark blacks, providing "exceptional contrast."

Multiple sensors ensure the display remains bright and at the right color temperature, with an ambient light sensor adjusting color gamut based on ambient lighting. ASUS added an anti-glare "LuxPixel" technology that minimizes reflections without compromising display quality.

Auto KVM is included for switching between and controlling two connected Macs or PCs with a single keyboard and mouse, and the display includes Thunderbolt 4 support and 96W power delivery for charging connected laptops like the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. There are multiple ports available in addition to dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, including HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, two USB-A ports, a passthrough port for headphones, a USB-C port for KVM Switch, and an additional downstream USB-C port.

Compared to the Pro Display XDR, the 6K ProArt Display has lower standard, peak, and sustained brightness, lower contrast, no local dimming, slightly less color accuracy, and no reference modes, but it is much more affordable and offers some of the same tilt and swivel adjustment options. There are also speakers, but no built-in webcam.

The price is amazing! A bit too amazing. But Asus released few firmwares and for only 1.5 years for my high-end 2019 release monitor and didn’t fix one small and one big glitch that bothered me & reported by others too. Hoping Dell or others match this if info on this monitor is accurate.

But scrolling through documentation, your code files, and moving your mouse around will feel like junk. My 240hz monitor only works at 60Hz with my iPad connected and it's borderline intolerable for everything outside of typing.

The Apple Studio Display has a 60Hz frame rate and scrolling and mouse movement is very smooth. This will be a complete non-issue for much of their target market.

 

[bluespark]

Is the price really $1299? Amazing if so for that resolution, color gamut and brightness. I almost don’t believe it.

This is an insanely good deal if it works well. If I didn’t already have a Studio Display, I’d choose this instead.

 

[theorist9]

Makes perfect sense that ASUS made this this 60 Hz instead of 120 Hz, since only TB5 computers whose display engines could process 6k@120 would be able to drive it at that refresh rate, which means only a tiny fraction of the market, if any. Plus clearly the point was to make it affordable, which they would not have been able to do with a 120 Hz refresh.

And I have no issue with the lack of local dimming, since if I were to buy it, it would be for office work.

However, here's KitGuru's review of the LuxPixel coating on their 5k 27" (PA27JCV), which ASUS is also using on the 6k. I'm very sensitive to sharpness, which is why I strongly prefer Apple's glossy screens. It sounds like this would make it a deal-breaker for me:

"....while ASUS claims ‘the user only sees accurate colors and sharp details' thanks to the LuxPixel tech, some coating grain is still visible. Compared against a 5K Apple iMac (2019), I did find myself preferring the appearance of text on the Apple display, but everyone has their own preference when it comes to gloss vs matte."

I was considering grabbing the 27" 5K version when it went on a sale, but I guess the demand has been pretty good and with the tariffs has actually gone up in price (at least through Amazon). This is even more impressive for the price for those who want even bigger.

 

[cjsuk]

Legendary Asus quality no doubt.

50% duty cycle on RMA and working.

 

[tahoeroscoe]

This is very exciting

 

[Hammerd]

I would take a 5K @120Hz over a 6K @60Hz, but I don't think anyone has released an example of the former (outside of "5K" ultrawide gaming monitors that are like 900 pixels tall). For the "lol what do you need 120 for on a Mac" crowd, ProMotion is really nice on the MBPs and it would be great to finally get it on an over-4K monitor.

That said, the price is the real breakthrough here.

Even 120hz is not enough for PRODUCTIVITY (yes). 240hz is a minimum, ideally 480

 

[theorist9]

Delta E > 2? So, maybe 5 or 10? Crappy color accuracy?

It's DE <2:

Some of us don't like using a mouse at 60hz.

 

[deevey]

Do you have any means of driving such a display?

 

[deevey]

HDR10 and VESA DisplayHDR™ 600 compatibility

That does not mean it meets the standard of either, just that it will accept a signal and display a picture from either. Remember all those "Full HD compatible" TV's that were only 720p

 

[Alex.ne]

6K 120Hz lossless RGB requires more bandwidth than even Thunderbolt 5 provides. But yeah, they could do something in-between.

Actually no. TB4 technically can drive one 5K display at 120Hz with video stream compression (but we do not see such displays for some reason). TB5 has 3 times higher bandwidth than TB4's 40Gbps (and probably supports more effective video compression) which it already higher than 88Gbps needed for a lossless 6k 120Hz 10bit video stream.

DP Alt mode can use 4 UHBR 20 lanes at most for a display, which means 80 Gbps. Yes, Thunderbolt 5 can support 120 Gbps, but that bandwidth can’t be used in full for a single display. Even HDMI 2.2 released last month is limited to 84 Gbps.
