Office verdict: 8.9

The ASUS ProArt Display PA32QCV is excellent for office use. It has a high 6k resolution that helps result in sharp text, but its aggressive matte coating causes text to look hazy. It also has a big 32-inch screen that helps with multitasking with various windows next to each other. Thanks to its high screen brightness and superb reflection handling, which helps minimize glare, it's even a great choice to use in a well-lit office space. Lastly, it comes with productivity features, including Thunderbolt support with daisy chaining, a KVM switch, and an ergonomic stand that's easy to adjust.

Pros

Cons

Editing verdict: 8.0

The ASUS ProArt Display PA32QCV is great for editing. Its 32-inch screen helps if you need to multitask with various windows open, and its high 6k resolution makes images look detailed, and text looks sharp. It comes with picture modes for various color spaces that you may work with, including an sRGB mode, which you need to calibrate for a perfectly accurate image because it has a cold color temperature. It's a bad choice for editing content in HDR, though, as it has a low contrast ratio and its local dimming feature fails to improve the black levels. On the plus side, its Thunderbolt support is great if you want to connect a Thunderbolt laptop, like a MacBook, and it has a few features to help with productivity, like daisy chaining and a KVM switch.
