ASUS ProArt PA32USD: 31.5-inch 4K OLED monitor with dual 12G-SDI
ASUS launches the PA32USD, a 31.5-inch QD-OLED monitor with dual 12G-SDI input and integrated motorized colorimeter, at 2699 $.
ASUS announced on May 18, 2026 the ProArt Display OLED PA32USD, a 31.5-inch QD-OLED 4K reference monitor aimed at colorists, editors, and post-production facilities. The price is set at 2699 $ in the United States, approximately 2510 €. Commercial availability is scheduled for late June 2026.
The PA32USD sits at the top of the ASUS ProArt OLED lineup, above the PA27USD (26.5 inches, 2199 $) launched a few weeks earlier. Both models share the same QD-OLED 3840 x 2160 panel, the same calibration architecture, and the same integrated motorized colorimeter. The main difference lies in panel size and the number of SDI inputs: one on the PA27USD, two on the PA32USD.
This positioning clearly targets finishing studios and DITs working with broadcast or cinema cameras featuring direct SDI outputs.

Spec → impact → verdict
The dual 12G-SDI is the concrete differentiator of this model: it allows receiving an uncompressed 4K60p signal directly from a cinema camera or broadcast router, without an intermediate capture card. The integrated motorized colorimeter eliminates dependence on an external probe and ensures profile portability between systems, as the manufacturer claims, though long-term accuracy remains to be verified in testing. At 2699 $, the PA32USD is aimed at colorists and post-production facilities that need an OLED desktop monitor with native broadcast I/O. For a photographer or videographer without an SDI workflow, the PA27USD at 2199 $ or a monitor without SDI remains a more relevant choice.
