The ProArt Display OLED PA329CDV pairs a 31.5-inch 4K QD-OLED panel at 120Hz with 96W USB-C charging, a built-in KVM switch and a three-year warranty. Asus set a $899 US price; US retailers now list it. Asus does not guarantee macOS support.
Asus’s 32-inch QD-OLED ProArt monitor is now in US stores at $899, which makes it one of the cheaper ways to get a 4K OLED this size with laptop charging over one USB-C cable. It costs $200 more than the 27-inch PA279CDV. Buy it if you want OLED contrast on a 32-inch desk. If your work is mostly text on a Mac, the smaller panel or a 5K screen is still the better fit.
What you get for $899
Asus announced the ProArt Display OLED PA329CDV in the summer at a US$899 list price, alongside the $699 PA279CDV, according to FunkyKit. It was due in September. Notebookcheck reported on November 2 that it is now in stores, and Bay Area retailer Central Computer listed it at $899.99 in stock that day.
Per Asus’s US product page, the maker lists:
- Panel: 31.5-inch QD-OLED, 3840 x 2160, 120Hz, 0.1 ms gray-to-gray.
- Brightness and HDR: up to 1,000 nits peak on a 3% window, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, and a Uniform Brightness mode that holds up to 300 nits.
- Color: 10-bit, 99% DCI-P3, 100% sRGB, factory-calibrated to Delta E under 1.5, Calman Verified.
- Ports: USB-C with 96W charging, a second downstream USB-C, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 in and out, a USB-A hub and a headphone jack.
- Desk features: a built-in KVM that switches one keyboard and mouse between two computers, and a stand with height, tilt, swivel and pivot plus VESA 100 mounting.
- Warranty: three years.
Mac owners get 96W but no promise of support
The 96W USB-C port can power a MacBook over the same cable that carries video and the USB hub. The KVM matters if you run a work laptop and a personal Mac on one desk: one keyboard and mouse follow whichever is on screen. Asus does not guarantee macOS support, per Notebookcheck. Its DisplayWidget Center app lets a Mac’s brightness keys control the monitor.
Two trade-offs carry over from the 27-inch model in our MacBook Pro monitor guide. At 4K across 32 inches, text is less sharp than on a 5K or 6K panel; our 27 vs 32-inch guide covers the scaling setting that keeps it readable. And OLED panels can burn in when the same sidebars sit on screen all day. The 120Hz refresh rate is about half what OLED gaming monitors run, which matters for competitive games. Spreadsheets won’t notice.
The extra $200 buys size at the same 4K
The PA329CDV and the PA279CDV share the panel type, refresh rate, 96W USB-C and KVM. The extra $200 buys five more inches at the same 4K resolution, so each pixel is bigger. That suits video, photo work at arm’s length and anyone who wants one large screen in place of two. If you sit close or spend the day in documents and Slack, the 27-inch is denser and cheaper, and our guide to choosing a monitor explains when 5K earns its price. I haven’t used either ProArt OLED.
