Looking for at 32" 4K monitor for office use and some gaming for upcoming Black Friday sales.

I currently have a an LG 32" 4K 60Hz VA Panel with 60W power delivery via USB-C which is super handy.
Looking to upgrade to a better screen (IPS/MiniLED/OLED) with a higher refresh rate without sacrificing screen size, resolution or being able to connect my laptop via a single USB-C cable. Most 4K gaming monitors seem to only offer 15W power delivery via USB-C, if at all.

Can anyone let me know if such a unicorn exists?

    Try perplexity.ai: ViewSonic XG321UG (no USB-C); ASUS ProArt PA32UCG (120Hz, USB-C 60W)

    MSI MPG321URX is the unicorn. Sadly its best price so far has been $1898 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/874133?utm_source=searchal…

    The four other screens listed here (https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/msi/mpg-321urx-qd-ole…) all use the same panel, but sadly the two that go get discounts down to below $1500 (Alienware AW3225QF and Samsung OLED G8) don't have the USB-C cable. The Asus does, but it's even more expensive than the MSI.

    If that MSI gets down within reach of $1500, I'm pulling the trigger.

    4K gaming monitors to only offer 15W power delivery via USB-C

    Because real gaming laptop requires much more power than 60W. PD function is only useful to drive office laptops with one cable. So you are going to buy a 4K 144hz monitor to play everything in 1080p at 30fps, just assuming that you own a laptop that has 60w input (basically an office laptop with integrated graphics)?

      Yeah. I am hoping to dual use the monitor (productivity and some gaming). I am doing this on my current screen. Laptop connects via USB-C and Gaming PC is connected via HDMI.

      • KaTst3R on 07/11/2024 - 13:23

        I see. Seems like not many options out there because it doesnt make sense for manufacturers to include PD with a gaming monitor. All the best with your search.

    Bookmarked for later lolz

  • plmko on 07/11/2024 - 13:48

    You need Thunderbolt 4. Monitors exist but your laptop needs to have this.

    • MayhemVC on 07/11/2024 - 14:22

      Just to be clear, I don't want to game via USB-C. Just want to be able to run my laptop off it. The Gaming PC can connect via HDMI/DP. I'm doing this at the moment on my current monitor which is a 32" 4K VA but limited to 60Hz. Was looking to update but there might not be anything suitable on the market yet.

    I have found this!
    https://www.hp.com/au-en/shop/omen-transcend-31-5-inch-uhd-2…
    I can't find any reviews on it. Are HP OMEN products typically good?
    Also delivers 140W via USB-C!!

    • geelen on 12/11/2024 - 11:54

      Damn that sounds excellent. Still on the high end price wise though. And no KVM?

      • MayhemVC on 12/11/2024 - 19:54

        No KVM (I've only seen a couple with KVM and I don't think it was implemented well). It was very briefly $1599 on the HP eBay store but has since shot up.

      • MayhemVC on 12/11/2024 - 20:00

        There is also an updated version of this for under $1200. This has KVM switch.

    I bought this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/365195338777

    $1,599.20 seemed like a good price.

      Holy damn! Congrats. That seems like an incredible piece of kit.

    • jimmy c on 22/11/2024 - 21:39

      Don't you mean $1519.20?? Wish it didn't have the white bezel. Looks awesome though!

      • MayhemVC on 22/11/2024 - 22:22

        The price dropped $80 just after I bought it…

        • jimmy c on 22/11/2024 - 22:55

          Ouch! Can you cancel and re-purchase? Perhaps send them a note as you are promoting this bit of kit for them… they should give you a credit out of principle IMO

          • MayhemVC on 25/11/2024 - 14:29

            @jimmy c: Tried to cancel but it had already been shipped.
            Contacted eBay to see if it would fall under their Best Price Guarantee (it doesn't because the lower price is on eBay and not a different store).
            Contacted HP directly via eBay. They said they will do a partial refund to cover the $80 price difference).
            10/10 would buy again :-)

    Ok Nice. I was almost turned off by that customer service. Now they have made it right I will consider this monitor again. Thanks for the update.
