It has the holes in back, spaced 100mm apart in a square pattern, to support a VESA bracket (not included) for arm or wall mounting, but its main stand is already rather dexterous. The monitor stands 18.3 by 28.9 by 2.4 inches (HWD) and weighs 26.7 pounds, a bit on the heftier side when compared with other creative monitors like the MSI Summit MS321UP. On the back, you’ll find a metal handle that allows you to carry the monitor like a suitcase (albeit, a very expensive suitcase). Meanwhile, the left side has a USB-C jack and four USB-A ports. On the back right side, you have easy access to a port hub with three HDMI 2.0 ports, a headphone jack, and a DisplayPort input. At the bottom right corner, you’ll find a row of buttons for quick settings swapping, and an OSD control stick. The all-black 32-inch display rises from a simple stand with a square base, with thin bezels around its frame. The Asus PA32DC exudes the aura of a first-class monitor, from its premium screen to its bold façade. It comes at a hefty price, to be sure, but if you’re looking for the best content-creation and photo-editing monitor money can buy, not many competitors are in the same league as the PA32DC OLED that don't have fruit on them and charge a grand for a stand. It includes a breathtaking contrast ratio, supports multiple HDR formats, and is the first OLED monitor we've seen with automatic calibration. It's one of the finest OLED monitors we’ve seen, expertly crafted to suit the needs of video editors, designers, and photographers. The most important part of the display will be the screen.Asus has delivered many excellent ProArt monitors over the years, like the ProArt PA34VC Professional Curved Monitor, but the company may have set the bar even higher with its latest model, the ProArt Display OLED PA32DC ($3,499). “At this point, the cost of building that monitor has likely come down, and with a few tweaks and perhaps a slight drop in brightness, Apple might be able to get to a similar quality monitor (at a slightly smaller size) at perhaps about half the price.” New Pro Display XDR: Screen However, his information at that time may have related to the Studio Display, which we now know costs £1,499/$1,599.Īt the time Gurman said: “A lower-cost monitor, I think, would be a hot seller for those looking to add a larger screen to their new MacBook Pro without spending the equivalent of a luxury car down payment on the Pro Display XDR,” Gurman wrote at the time.

Gurman’s ballpark estimate would therefore suggest a price somewhere around £2,300/$2,500. In a December 2021 Power On newsletter Mark Gurman indicated that the new monitor could be as ‘cheap’ as half the price of the company’s more premium monitor. The Apple Pro Display XDR is priced at £4,599/$4,999 and doesn’t even ship with a stand (if you want a stand that’s an additional £1,000/$1,000).
