These improvements aim to deliver a superior visual experience while addressing concerns commonly associated with OLED technology.

Market Competition: Dell’s Entry into OLED

While Asus takes the spotlight with its OLED monitors, Dell is not far behind. The Alienware gaming monitor series from Dell includes a 360Hz 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED model and a 32-inch 4K 240Hz OLED version, both set to launch on January 11th.

Pricing and Availability: Awaiting Details

While the excitement is palpable, the missing pieces of the puzzle are the pricing and release dates for Asus’ latest OLED monitors. The delay in shipping the previously announced PG32UCDM raises anticipation for the PG32UCDP’s arrival in the second half of 2024. Potential buyers are left in suspense, eager to experience the cutting-edge technology but uncertain about when they can get their hands on these innovative displays.
