Thanks for doing this. I made some edits, feel free to adjust with or without comment if you disagree with anything I did.

I believe ASUS first announced theirs as 32 inches and 216 ppi, but they later (May 2025) clarified it is 31.5 inches (viewable) and 218 ppi.

For what it’s worth, I’ve decided to wait until the summer Apple event (as rumored by Gurman), instead of buying the LG 6K as soon as it is released like I had originally planned to do.

Although, in looking at LG’s history with the UltraFine, late July is usually when they actually launch. So there may not be much lag, if any.

The ASUS has now shown up on the US site:

Amazingly enough, in looking to see if the wider internet had a price (not yet listed on the ASUS store), I discovered Walmart is selling a new 6K on their website, (US $4,289, on sale for $3,989):


The panel appears to be the same as the Dell. The distributor is "Abnyfex" but it looks like it is Geekon's ArgentCase series:


Never heard of them before just now.

They also have a 5K that does 1000 nits. I appear to have chosen a bad time to take on the 5K WikiPost -- it seems like every week day there's something I've either missed or is new!

Okay, I've done what I can with the Geekon Argent CASE 银气 Design32 IPS Black 6K display. I'm sorely tempted to drop the "ArgentCase" but I know I can't -- I'm sure it looks good to the Chinese audience it is aimed at, but the name of the series in Chinese is better, 银气 (yín-qì), meaning something like Silver Spirit -- Geekon's English version replaces silver with "argent" and I'll guess "case" is just a reference to its metal case, replacing a highly expressive word: 气 (traditional 氣) = air, vapor; breath; spirit, energy; atmosphere; anger. Ugh!

The 银气 Design32 6K isn't easy to find even on the Geekon Creative Studio site (the company's main home page) -- you have to go to the shop and find it there (the link I've provided goes straight to it, let me know if it changes).

Abnyfex — third-party US reseller via Amazon ($4689)*

* Note that this is wildly overpriced in relation to the Chinese price (about US $1200) or even the Dell, which has the same panel. I deleted it and Walmart from the WikiPost because it might look like we think those are fair prices, when they’re not.

I found a reference to the price of the ASUS from a video that is about 5 months old. I doubt it is accurate anymore, but interesting what it was going to be. See 2:05 at:


Spoiler: $1199

That’s been posted before in other threads. Note that IIRC the video was sponsored by Asus so it should be relatively credible.

As for the 32” LG 6K, I asked LG but not surprisingly they told me nothing.

Thank you for your great interest on this LG Monitor. As of the moment, there is no information about the actual release of the unit. Rest assured that once it is available, it will be posted on our website including the price tag and retail stores that may potentially handle this.
 
A few local (Hong Kong) dealers have already listed the ASUS PA32QCV. MSRP is at HKD$12999 (USD$1656) which is surprisingly high. For comparison, the 5k PA27JCV is listed at only HKD$6499, with street price close to just $6000, so the 6k somehow is selling at double the 5k price.

This is a hard pass for me, price is treading into OLED territory.

I was hoping for the LG 6K to be about US$1899 / CA$2599, but now that seems overly optimistic.

Yes, if the plastic ProArt is US$1649, then the sleek, state-of-the-art LG borderless design with a next-gen IPS panel is going to be quite a bit more. Add about US$250 for tariff insurance, and I think maybe US$2749?
 
If the Kuycon is $1700, I fear the LG and ASUS are going to be north of that.
For the LG, yes. But not necessarily the ASUS.

Despite Click Clack’s claim of “NanoIPS Black” (IPS Black 2.0) on the front page of their listing, nothing in the actual promotional materials from Kuycon supports that, so I think it’s the same 2023 panel as the Dell, and thus the original IPS Black. The G32P is now listed on the US site, with "Nano IPS Black" featured prominently, so it’s the first 6K (or 5K, for that matter) to have a next-generation LG Display panel.

The ASUS is a different panel, probably (?) not from LG Display, so who knows, but in the 5K world, the ASUS ProArt at $849 (originally $799) is less than the Kuycon G27P at $1198 (with stand) or even their budget G27X SE at $998 (with stand) — again, though, different panels, so it’s not a direct comparison of materials, design, and build quality.

On the ASUS, the download link for the User Guide now works, so I've been able to update the specs to reflect the fact the color is actually 8-bit + FRC (not true 10-bit) -- that doesn't disqualify it for DisplayHDR 600 certification.

Seems likely the ASUS and Acer use the same panel.

Someone on Reddit found a Greek LG page (probably dating to April, so not recent) about the Red Dot Awards 2025, which includes the following (translated): "The two award-winning displays are expected in the Greek market from September."

It’s funny the LG monitor has won design awards already and the only pictures we have look like renders. Also no videos of it or anything of the like.

I thought the Asus was going to be the one but now I think the LG will have a bit better panel, but what sucks is that it could easily come out next year or never….

The wait continues.

@tenthousandthings if you look at the source code of that page there’s this meta tag, so it seems the page is actually new (July 21st).

LG isn't known for the sort of pre-release product announcement press release we often see from Acer and ASUS. If you search the LG Newsroom you won't find much. They featured the UltraGear OLED GX9 at CES 2025 in January, and pre-orders began in March, but there was silence in between.

So I'm not too worried. September sounds about right. No advance press release (and nothing online before the release) is standard operating procedure for them. I would assume a redesign of the 27" UltraFine 5K is also in the works. Announcing that six months in advance would undermine sales of the current model.

LG Display (as opposed to LG) provides interesting, informative press releases, but they are geared toward their industry clients (Dell, Apple, and so on), for obvious reasons.

If the LG 6K does get released in September, I suspect it may be available only at very near full retail price. In that case, I’d consider waiting until Black Friday for a sale here in Canada. And if there is no good deal on Black Friday, then maybe Boxing Day.

However, I don’t know what LG’s usual pricing practices are with very recent new releases on Black Friday and Boxing Day.
