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

    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
