That is a nice price. Just wish the case wasn’t so plasticky.Not $1199, but close enough considering tariffs. This bodes well for the LG.
If only someone could get near Apple finish without Apple prices.
Got a tip for us?

Maybe you missed the update regarding the price. It is now $1299 for the 6k Asus.
If you want Apple-finish-design, than the Kuycon could be your choice. The 6K Kuycon G32P costs ~$1799-1899+VAT
Still better than what we'd pay for a 6K Apple screen it must be said. I do like the Apple 6K screen but not enough to give them my money for one (or two of them). So I have a couple of 5K screens, one Apple Studio 5K and the LG 5K.
I just did a double take, I've seen similarities but wow!

On the subject of the 6K Kuycon G32P: The monitor certainly won't work miracles, but let me put it this way... I still use my 5K Dell UP2715k, which I bought in 2015 (back then for €1000), every day. Next to it are my two Apple Studio Displays, which I've had for 3 and 2 years and for which I paid €1,950 and €1,715.Still better than what we'd pay for a 6K Apple screen it must be said.

The picture difference between the Demm (10 years old) and the ASDs (3 & 2 years old) is not that big. All three have an awesome picture for me, especially because all 3 have a glossy screen!
The Kuycon G32P (because it is almost 10 years younger) will probably not give a worse picture, but it offers 6K and slightly better technical values AND also has glossy coarting *YEAH*!
It has a page on the ASUS global site, and the English User Guide is available to download. But it isn’t yet on the US or other regional sites. The panel is different from the 5K and the 6K. It has a 4,032-zone Mini-LED backlight, and true 10-bit color.
The price isn't a rumor. In April, ASUS did a local press release that said it would be available for pre-order in mid-June in Manila at a local partner and announced the price: PHP 500,000. That's around USD 8,750.
I don't think it has shipped. I think they announced the pre-order price early to let potential customers know this isn't like the others. Otherwise it would have been reasonable (given $799 for the 5K, $1299 for the 6K) to expect it would be no more than $2499 or so.

According to this website -> https://stadt-bremerhaven.de/lg-ultrafine-6k-monitor-modell-32u990a-startet-im-september/ , the 6K LG will launch in September 2025 for the European market!
Maybe with these upcoming 6K releases, the Dell 6K will go back down in price. My office would be more agreeable to buying that than the Asus, I think — they pretty much only buy Dell displays for general office PCs and Eizo RadiForce monitors for diagnostic work as of lately.
The 6K monitor has a page on B&H Photo Video: "New Item - Coming Soon - Preorder starts at 12:00am ET, Mon Aug 18"

Dammit. $1199 —> $1299 —>$1399
It’s €1399 here in Italy (where I’m currently on vacation), but the EU wouldn’t have the same tariffs that the Americans have.
www.ollo.it
US$1399 is €1197.36. Add 22% VAT and that’s €1460.77, so in that context the Italian price isn’t comparatively that bad.
I can’t find Canadian pricing on it though.

Well, B&H Preorders are up, but I'm disappointed that there is no ETA on them actually having any product...
BH just updated "Expected availability: Sep 16, 2025"!
My preorder was in, but I had no concept of dates until now... I can work with that! I'm excited about this one. If the LG is announced, is sub $2k and ships before October, maybe I'll cancel the pre-order. I seriously doubt ANY of those are true though

It looks to me asus paid Oliur to get this review, he only mentioned 6k and 600 nit, and then brainwash you "60hz is enough" repeatedly. No side by side comparison, no actual picture testing, no moving picture testing, etc.
I thought the same. this was a very lazy review. His Kuycon review was much better. It would have also been an obvious topic to compare the Asus with the Kuycon but he doesn't.
Especially since it’s a different panel, from a different manufacturer (probably AUO M315WAN01.0 CELL), so the differences with regard to the LG Display panels in the Kuycon and Dell might be interesting. I know AUO has its own version of the high-contrast “IPS Black” technology, and these two ProArt panels likely are that.
But obviously no comparisons was a precondition for him getting early access to the display. I haven’t watched it, but I gather he doesn’t try to hide the fact it’s a promotional review, and not a critical review.
PC World has what is probably the first "review" out: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2873124/asus-proart-pa32qcv-review.html. Seems to be about what I expected and still great for my use cases.
I'd agree that the YouTube videos that we've seen so are most likely simply 'first looks' from YouTubers after getting sent the monitor by Asus.

I am going to wait until so real world reviews come in, but I may try and upgrade from the 27” 5k monitor. A bigger monitor would look better in my setup, as long as the hdmi 4K from video game consoles still works fine on the 6k setup.
If I do, should I just put older 27”on eBay, but I would hate to get scammed. Is there a better place that will outright quote and buy a used monitor?

If you live in a big-city area, you can try your luck with Facebook Marketplace and only do an in-person payment / meetup. That is less useful in a smaller area obviously as the number of people seeking a 27" 5k monitor is pretty small.
I've been an eBay member since 1999 but rarely buy / sell things on it. I just bought a Mac Studio though and thought I'd try my luck w/ eBay selling the 2020 i9 iMac that it's replacing and just had mine just sell! Does that mean I won't get scammed in 1 week when the buyer gets it and tries to do something funny??? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. We'll see!
For anyone interested in non-english video reviews out for the Asus ProArt 32" 6K monitors here are ChatGPT generated subtitle tracks for these two. Remove the .txt extension, download the youtube videos and then play them in something like VLC where you can add a subtitle track.
