It measures 2.25-inches thick at its thinnest point, without the stand, and takes up a full 11+ inches on your desk from back to front once you’ve got it all set up. Compared to its main competition - the aforementioned Apple Pro Display XDR and the Dell UP3221Q - the ASUS ProArt PA32UCG is comically thick and very heavy. All of this sits on an understated black stand complete with gold lettering indicating that you’ve purchased a “ProArt High Dynamic Range” monitor with “Superior Color Accuracy.” Compared to most monitors we’ve reviewed, this matte-black-everything aesthetic is a welcome nod to subtlety. The 32-inch 4K panel is surrounded by 1/4-inch bezels on three of four sides and a 1/2-inch silvery-black chin on the bottom. The ProArt PA32UCG is a good-looking monitor. Over the past few weeks, we’ve gotten to test all of these features, as well as the general usability of the display, and we’ve come away with two major TL DR conclusions:
While it can’t match the 6K resolution of the Apple Pro Display XDR, the ProArt monitor either meets or exceeds it in every other performance category: it’s got the same insane peak brightness, twice the local dimming zones, a faster maximum refresh rate, much better AdobeRGB coverage, and it’s actually usable if you’re working on a PC.
In terms of performance, the ASUS ProArt PA32UCG is in a league of its own. Nearly two years later, the monitor is finally available, and we’re here to see if it can live up to the sky-high expectations we’ve built up over the past two years. Based on specs alone, this exciting monitor would improve on the already-impressive ProArt PA32UCX and take on the Apple Pro Display XDR by offering the same 1600 nits peak brightness out of a 4K panel, with a faster refresh rate and wider color gamut. ASUS announced plans for the ProArt PA32UCG way back in September of 2019.
