Looking for new external monitor for my 16" M2 Pro MacBook Pro: Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDM vs. MSI MPG 321URX vs. Gigabyte Aorus FO32U2P

Hey guys,

I want to replace my old 27" LG UltraFine 5K monitor with a better one since the picture quality is noticeable worse compared to my 16" MacBook Pro. A couple of specs that I want:

• At least 32"
• OLED
• At least 4K
• 120 Hz

I watched a lot of videos and read many articles and right now, these are the monitors that I like the most (these all use the same panel, so the picture quality is very similar):

• Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDM
• MSI MPG 321URX
• Gigabyte Aorus FO32U2P

The issue is that these get almost exclusively tested together with Windows PCs, meaning that I barely found any reports of people that use these displays together with a MacBook Pro (which is my use case). So could you guys please help me figure out if every one of these displays would be a good match for my MacBook Pro? And if you have any other display that I should also consider getting, please feel free to mention it. Thanks everyone in advance!

Hi, the Asus model offers those specs. Asus model

But I hear Asus has poor customer service. So, should the monitor have problems, as other purchasers have reported, it could be a hassle for you to get it repaired. Asus CS

From reading other posts on these forums, the gigabyte also supports those specs. I am unsure of MSI.

FWIW, I personally prefer LG because I bought a monitor over 10 years ago and it still works.

Thanks for your answer! Actually, all 3 models I listed support the specs I mentioned above, sorry, I wasn't really clear about that in my first post. Actually, because all of these 3 models are so similar, I'm having a hard time choosing one of them. Regarding LG: I would also be happy to buy an LG monitor again but as far as I know there's only a WOLED OLED monitor available with those specs but I would prefer a QD-OLED one.
