ASUS ProArt Display OLED PA32DC
Supporting 10-bit color with a 1 million:1 contrast ratio and VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black certified high-dynamic range, the 31.5” ASUS ProArt Display OLED PA32DC helps you represent your brand with eye-catching visuals.

But perhaps the PA32DC’s most impressive features is the built-in motorized flip colorimeter, which automatically re-writes the look-up table on an internal scaler IC chip for color tuning and uniformity with connected laptops and devices. It even works when the included monitor hood is mounted. Connecting your compatible laptop through the USB-C port transfers video, data, and up to 65W over a single cable.

You can also bring the ASUS ProArt Display OLED PA32DC with you when you need to with the two included stands.

Apple Pro Display XDR
If you work primarily with large-scale projects, and you have the budget, it’s hard to go wrong with the 32” Apple ApplePro Display XDR 6K monitor—especially if you’re already using Apple equipment and you’d like to stay in the ecosystem. With its stunning 6016 x 3384 resolution Retina display, you can view projects with exceptional detail.
The panel consists of an array of 576 LEDs that work with an algorithm that modulates their intensity to provide exceptional 10-bit color. Supporting the P3 wide color gamut with XDR (Extreme Dynamic Range), the display boasts a 1 million:1 contrast ratio with a peak brightness of 1600 nits. Built-in reference modes allow you to adapt the ApplePro Display to your needs by optimizing the color, white point, gamma, and brightness for different media, including design and print (P3-D50), photography (P3-D65), and digital cinema (P3-DCI). True Tone technology uses built-in front and back ambient light sensors to measure and adjust the color intensity to match your environment.
Picking up the Apple Pro Stand, which is specially designed for Pro Display XDR monitors, allows for easy mounting thanks to its magnetic connector. You can use it to adjust to your preferred viewing, including portrait and landscape modes.
