The next desktop-sized OLED monitor will cost $3,500 - Ars Technica

The latest OLED looks to be the 31.5-inch ProArt PA32DC, which Asus announced Tuesday, and it will be available in October for $3.500.

Barring any surprise releases, the PA32DC should be the next member of a growing group of OLED monitors that can fit atop a desk.

The PA32DC targets professionals and creatives to accommodate their office setup in a way that's rare for today's OLED monitors (the exceptions being LG's UltraFine series of 26.5-inch and 31.5-inch OLED monitors and portable monitors using OLED).

Asus' 4K OLED monitor has an impressive specs sheet, including 100 percent sRGB, 99 percent DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB, and 80 percent Rec.

Brightness has long been an advantage LED monitors held over OLED.

The OLED panel uses a standard RGB subpixel layout, like LG's UltraFine OLED monitors.

Some OLED monitors like the QD-OLED Alienware AW3423DW tout extra strong colors for entertainment and gaming, but reading may be more straining.

Asus' PA32DC looks like a strong rival for LG's UltraFine OLED monitors, especially the 31.5-inch 32EP950-B with a $500 higher MSRP (as of writing).

One immediate difference between LG's OLED options is the inclusion of HLG and Dolby Vision support.

The monitor supports 65 W USB-C power delivery for a streamlined setup, though you can get greater power delivery in the 100 W range from other PC monitors.
