Interesting specs... is that saying brightness goes up to 1600 or 2000 nits? That's impressive. Also like the USB hub is 3.2.... Kuycon is only USB 2.
Got a tip for us?

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

I really want to pull the trigger on either the Kuycon 6k or this new Geekon 6k, however the 3 year warranty offered by Asus (along with the likely cheaper price) has me unlikely to do it. The Asus just seems so ugly compared to these two new options though! If this were a $500 monitor, I wouldn't hesitate, but ~$1600 is a lot for a monitor that will likely be painful to get service on if there are issues.
(up to) 2000 peak, (up to) 1600 standard. Note that there is no such thing as "HDR 2000" at least not yet. The highest current VESA DisplayHDR certification is DisplayHDR 1400.
I found a video of BOE's booth from this year's Display Week (May 2025), where they had a 32" 16K (not a typo!) on display and also the 31.5" 8K 120Hz, 3000:1 contrast ratio, 98% DCI-P3 gamut.
If you can wait, the LG Ultrafine is now rumored to hit the market in September. Maybe that will hit your sweet spot.
Did they happen to comment on or discuss the purpose for a 16K 32" display?
I get that for many years we've been impressed with the 'latest and greatest,' and we can think things are as good as they practically need to get and pushing for much higher spec.s would be impractical and silly...until we get those higher spec.s at a good price point and they go mainstream. Then going back (say, from 27" 4K to 1440) sounds ridiculous. So I'm not attacking the idea of such a display.
But we already tend to think of 6K 32" as 'retina' class at viewing distances typical for computer displays. So if at some point the industry goes to 8K 32", that'll be 'retina plus,' to coin a term, and from there it would stand to reason higher refresh rates would be the focus. And once you've got 6 or 8K at 32" at 120 (or faster) Hz, and brightness of 1,000 to 2,000 nuts, and strong HDR performance and IPS Black class contrast performance, well...not sure where they'd go next.
So, a 16K 32" display...does the display itself look better? Are there professionals who can benefit from this?
The main example that comes to mind is some people say with a display resolution higher than 4K, they can work with 4K video projects at full-size while still having screen room for their editing software menus, tool bars, etc..., around that 4K window.
The BOE salesperson describes it as "the best 3D display in the world" -- the text above it says 32" Light Field -- I'm not sure what any of that means, but it's at 3:38 in the video. The 8K is at 9:40.
Since it seems like a 1 year warranty from ClickClack is the best assurances we can get for these monitors, do we have a qualitative sense based on older hardware shipped from Kuycon how their electronics inside compare against the more mainstream providers? Do they cut corners?
I wouldn't have a clue how to evaluate this but, I'm curious if you compared a board from any Kuycon monitor against a comparable one from say LG, are they using similar quality capacitors and other components and how does the overall polish of the assembly compare for the pieces that Kuycon is manufacturing itself?
If they visually looked similar and there was evidence that older kuycon monitors stood the test of time, that might support the idea that on average you could expect similar longevity. (Even though, of course, it's cold comfort that hypothetically the average quality of their monitors is on par when your specific one dies after the warranty ends!)

In that portion of the video, not only was it 3D, but it looked to me like they weren't wearing special glasses to get that effect. Does 3D call for higher than usual resolutions? Despite varied 'false starts' to mainstream 3D in the past (e.g.: t.v.s, Nintendo 3DS), as computational power and the difficulty of standing out in a crowded market sector rise, perhaps someday 3D really will be the next frontier.
But not yet.
The issue of 3D without glasses is old hat and was already known in the early 2000s. Perhaps the name “CeBIT” means something to you? That was a major IT trade fair that took place in Germany. 3D without glasses was shown on monitors or TVs there very early on and it was clear that the effect and quality would improve with increasing resolution. Imagine you have a 16K display and every 4th pixel shows you an object from a slightly different perspective, creating a spatial effect. Depending on where you (or your eyes) are looking at the display and where you are moving, you will see the appropriate pixel. Of course, this reduces the effective resolution of the display from 16k, but a 4K experience should still be possible with a 16k display.
I few points of not on the GP32P:
– Purchased through the Alibaba platform (app) via the authorised Kuycon store
– Total cost £1289.43 plus £95.10 tax
– Shipping took 3 days – China to UK
– Arrived in a large wooden crate!
– I messaged Kuycon via in app messaging before purchase with some questions and they were very helpful and responsive. Without me asking, they offered me free shipping (FedEx door to door).
– After the package arrived I messaged to tell them. They were surprised at the amount of duty I had to pay as they said they reported the value as $400. I have no idea how import duty is calculated but am happy with the total price I paid.
– I specifically asked for a UK plug which was included in the box. Probably best to specify which plug you require.
– Overall build quality is superb
– There's a USB stick included in the box that contains various PDF files all in Chinese – Firmware Info, Colour Profile Report, Terms and Instructions. There's also a Firmware Bin file. I messaged the Kuycon representative to ask how to upgrade the Firmware and the reply was "Monitors rarely require firmware updates, but if needed, you can contact us at that time and we can provide technical guidelines"
– The supplied remote used to access on screen menus is vey basic but does the job. The remote was supplied with no battery! Strange considering all the other extra bits and pieces supplied as standard – cables, adapters, vesa mount.
I'll add to the list if I think of anything that may be helpful.

Thanks this a great summary, really helpful, btw did you ask Alibaba about repairs and where to send the monitor and who pays shipping ?
I've given it a quick run. But only connected to my 2020 27" iMac as a second screen. All works as expected with no dead pixels. Looks impressive but I'm waiting for the delivery of a Mac Studio to properly set up.
Just to be clear, the support conversations I had were directly with a Kuycon representative within the Alibaba app. Here's what they said about support:
"Hello, we are shop warranty providers. We can also provide accessories for you, offer video guidance, and offer a 2-year warranty. If you have any issues, just contact us. The monitor rarely has issues; mainly avoid dropping it."
When I asked if I would have to ship the device back to China in the event of a problem they said:
"Yes, China Or we can provide accessories and send instructional videos at that time."
Hope this makes sense. FYI, I don't plan on dropping it!
Just received mine and it’s great! It blows my Dell U2720Q out of the water. Truly a stunning display. I’ve never owned an Apple display before, but this one is more than good enough. It’s also my first ‘Retina’ monitor experience, and it’s true, once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it. Ordered from ClickClack. besides long delivery time, no issues.
I'd be interested to know what computer you're using and what settings/profile you land on to get the best out of it. I'm just trying to gather as much info before my Mac Studio arrives.
I am using a Mac Mini M4 Pro. I choose the "Mac" setting in the monitors color profile for now. Will compare to my upcoming Macbook pro (will buy in a few months) default color setting later to see how accurate it is.
I just go my monitor yesterday and its great, but for some reason I cannot get my monitor to work with my M4 Pro running Tahoe Beta using usb-c. It shows up as detected, but the screen remains black. It works fine with My M2 Max running Sequoia though. I reached out to Kuycon and they said it should work without any drivers, so i'm wondering if its just a Tahoe issue atm.
One guy on a Reddit thread about the Kuycon G32P had the same issue — he was also using macOS Tahoe, I am on Sequoia.
Ok I'm doing it. I'm going to order the G32P. Nerve wracking? Sure. Here's hoping for the best.
I did try use the official alibaba link. The customer support was extremely responsive but unfortunately on the checkout screen, Alibaba wants to charge $714 import duties on top of the monitor price (to USA). Not sure if that's tariffs at work already. But that's almost 50% of the cost of the monitor. They advised me to go through clickclack so I guess they really are the authorized dealer here.
If anyone has more experience to share using this monitor before I click the purchase button, please do let me know

I got the screen to work on Tahoe, I just needed a Thunderbolt 5 cable. TB4 bandwidth is too low for the monitor. I also updated my dock to a TB5 dock and now I can run the G32P and my studio display at the same time
