Written analysis

PA32DC at a glance

The PA32DC is a 31.5" OLED monitor at 3840×2160 and 98 Hz.

Best fit: a premium mixed-use desktop that will use the stronger panel, color, and motion scores rather than a basic office screen.

Panel and image

Overall quality is 85.8, with 81.7 work and 82.5 play. Pixel density is listed at 139 PPI. Typical brightness is 250 nits with a peak of 500 nits. Contrast is listed as 1000000:1. The coating is Anti-glare/Matte (3H). The listed pixel count sits in the high-resolution class used by the work and overall scores.

Color and HDR

Recorded gamut coverage is 99% DCI-P3. Color depth is listed as 10-bit native. The work score is a solid everyday office result rather than a specialist color-critical display.

Motion and sync

Refresh is listed at 98 Hz. Response time is listed as 0.10 ms. The play score covers mainstream gaming and media; competitive high-refresh use still depends on the GPU keeping up. Pair this resolution with the GPU table before assuming native high settings.

Stand and mount options are listed as Height · Pivot · Swivel · Tilt · VESA (100x100mm). Recorded inputs include 1 x USB (Type-C; upstream; 65W; DP Alt Mode), 4 x USB 3.2 (Type-A; Gen 2; 10 Gbps downstream), 3 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.4, 1 x 3.5 mm Audio In, 1 x 3.5 mm Audio Out. Speakers are listed as 2 x 3 W (watts).
