Kuycon G32P - 31.5″ 6K (6144×3456) IPS Black Monitor

Why don't you order through Alibaba? using chat you can talk with their sales and even ask for free shipping, which I managed to get. Plus I got a little bit discount as well on top of that.

I did end up going with alibaba due to how time consuming Taobao was figuring out everything I didnt have anymore energy to figure out everything with the forwader.

Using TB5 I had to change the Monitor menu under misc in the USB-C rate line to 80 then the HDR option appeared in the Mac display menu

Thanks. Yeah, when I tried this experiment, I did change the USB-C rate to 80 (aka. 2.1) and still no HDR option. I did, however, see your previous post and tried an HDMI cable again yesterday. Although I was able to get the native macOS brightness slider to show up and function as well as HDR, the default resolution of 3072 x 1728 was missing, and the closest options were 3008 x 1692, which I had to manually change, and I didn't think it looked as great. I also noticed when I had HDR working, all my apps seemed overly bright and blown out. The color wasn't as good. So I went back to the TB4 cable and no HDR and called it good. I actually think it looks really good. Thanks for trying to help.

There is also the Tcolor 32" 6K. I believe it uses the same AUO panel that's in the Asus.

That's US$958.44 including height adjustable stand. I don't know where you live, but shipping to Canada is $218.54 for Premium Alibaba Logistics. However, I think that may be DAP (where you're responsible for duties, taxes, and brokerage), as opposed to DDP (which incurs no extra charges). There is also a $35.20 payment processing fee, for a total of $1212.18.

I had to change the display color profile to iMac to get the colors correct. Also. I'm using a Mac Mini M4 Pro (TB5 ports) which may make a difference. I have the 3072x1728 showing in my Mac display panel so not sure why you would not.

These small companies have poor QA IMO. If you're lucky enough to get a good panel, then great, but the chances of getting a lemon are higher than if you're buying an Apple monitor, not surprisingly.

Isn't Click Clack just a reseller? I don't think Click Clack actually makes anything. BTW, I note that most of the Alibaba entries from the manufacturers for stuff like this have options for drop shipping direct to customers. ie. I'm not saying this is Click Clack, but some online resellers just order from the factory and ship it to you from the factory when they get your order, using the manufacturer's drop shipping.

I got mine from ClickClack and I believe they just drop shipped from Kuycon. It came in two weeks and in perfect condition here in USA.

One thing that struck me about the Kuycon monitors is how come they have a glossy glass front panel, when they appear to be using the same panel as the matte one used by Dell?

If you look at the bottom of the AliBaba Kuycon page for company information, there is an interesting video showing the manufacturing assembly and testing processes...


This shows the pronunciation of Kuycon as 'Kuyouke', like the company name. 😯
And shows the glass being applied to the front.

Also it shows the video board assembly for the 27" monitor (unfortunately back view only).
However you can tell that it is a bespoke PCB layout, created purely for the Kuycon monitor, so they seem to be commissioning the design of the parts they need.

In the company profile they describe themselves as an ODM, original design manufacturer, also selling items to be rebranded by someone else.

This is actually really impressive. They seem to be assembling the displays in an industrial cleanroom - pretty important if you want to laminate a sheet of glass to a lcd panel. A more substantial company than I thought.

People with the Kuycon and the Dell have this bug with DisplayPort 1.4 causing chroma being downgraded to 4:2:2, but on the LG 6K this is not the case
Click to expand...
I wonder why LG 6K is not the case. Maybe Apple whitelisted it somehow? If I had Kuycon G32P I would take EDID from LG and put it instead of Kuycon's and then see what happens.
Are there any volunteers among Kuycon owners?
@EugW, could you export EDID from your LG to the public?

I don't know how to do that. Also, does it include the monitor serial number identifier? If so, I'd want to remove that.

BTW, as you know, the LG is native 6144x3456. However, I find it curious that in addition to the 3072x1728 resolution setting in macOS, there is also a separate setting of 3008x1692 that is offered, without any additional software hacks necessary. I was under the impression that the Dell does not get the 3008x1692 option unless you install BetterDisplay.

I personally don't need it because I don't have the monitor but I hope serial # can be redacted via EDID editor (however I don't think that publishing of a serial # could cause any harm).

Folks, those of you trying to enable HDR on this monitor are wasting your time. Just accept it as a non-HDR monitor. Even if you get it working, this is an IPS panel and the brightness for good HDR just isn't there.
Take this monitor for what it is, a very nicely designed monitor with a good glossy screen. Ignore the 'pseudo' HDR functionality.
I'm still on the fence as I ideally want something with a built in KVM, but otherwise would have gone all in on this thing.

Not accurate, there is a difference when enabling HDR on the G32P. It’s not as noticeable as on my MacBook Pro, but it’s definitely there, and HDR photos and videos do look better.

I agree it is better but not like night and day. I have been comparing this with my Studio Display although since the Studio Display is smaller it is kind of hard to compare since not apples to apples.

The reddit post I linked mentioned that it didn't work on Tahoe with a TB4 cable, but it worked fine with a TB5 cable. That was with an M2 Max I believe, despite the fact that M2 Max doesn't support TB5.

You are using a TB5 cable and your M4 Pro supports TB5, so it shouldn't affect you.

Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it. I’ve been on the fence about upgrading — not only because of potential monitor issues but also due to some negative feedback on Tahoe’s performance.

I should also note that the system worked great when I also tested using an HDMI cable.
