"All in all, the Asus PA32DC OLED is a superbly crafted display for experts in their craft. From filmmakers to colorists and everyone in between, this OLED display comes with just about everything that’ll satisfy professionals and enthusiasts. The undisputed champion of content creation monitors might still be the Apple Pro Display XDR for some, but the Asus PA32DC OLED puts up a heck of a fight for several grand less."
