ASUS’s 4K QD-OLED ProArt monitor checks nearly every box for creative pros—except for one noisy problem.

I will post an update as soon as I can test that. With near-perfect color, 1000 nits of HDR brightness, and a clean design, the ProArt PA32UCDM seems like the ultimate creator monitor. But ASUS might’ve overlooked one detail that affects real-world use. Here’s my honest take after weeks of testing. 🛍️ Asus ProArt PA32UCDM: https://geni.us/AuJ8UJV 🛍️ BENQ PD2730S: https://geni.us/mhds 🛍️ Studio Display: https://geni.us/v7cQ3Z5 🛍️ Asus PA27JCV: https://geni.us/RFtOl 🛍️ BenQ MA270U: https://geni.us/uvAAdC 🛍️ Samsung ViewFinity S9: https://geni.us/CKC1A Photo used in thumbnail photo: Photo by Alexander Grey from Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-showing-multi-coloured-paint-on-his-index-finger-1317547/ 📺 Affordable 5K Display for Mac: ASUS ProArt PA27JCV: https://youtu.be/ojwowaY3Ccw 📺 The Everyday Mac Display - BENQ MA270U: https://youtu.be/FthSkZFuT2U 📺 Samsung ViewFinity S9 5K vs Apple Studio Display: https://youtu.be/v4GCk2DPesc This video is NOT sponsored by ASUS but ASUS did send me the display to test.
