Dell announced at CES 2026 that it’ll launch the UltraSharp 32 4K QD-OLED Monitor on February 24th for $2,599.99. Despite having released a productivity-focused 4K QD-OLED of the same size in 2025 that regularly sold for well under $1,000, its new one costs more mainly due to having greater color accuracy for creative professionals.

The company is pitching this as a display suited for those who do color grading, broadcast work, and film editing. Dell claims “true-to-life” color accuracy with a Delta E <1 rating, and it has an integrated colorimeter that stores calibration preferences on-device. Its press release claims that it offers true 10-bit color reproduction. IT managers can calibrate the monitor’s colors remotely.

This monitor has a 120Hz refresh rate and Dolby Vision HDR support (not to mention a VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 rating). In terms of ports, it only supports video via one Thunderbolt 4 port that can charge at up to 140W (the aforementioned S3225QC Dell launched this year had HDMI 2.1, but no Thunderbolt support). It has one pop-out 27W USB-C port and a 10W USB-A port for charging accessories, plus a 2.5Gbps ethernet port.

Going off the specs that Dell shared, it doesn’t seem as good of a value as the Asus ProArt Display OLED PA32UCDM, another color-calibrated 32-inch 4k QD-OLED option with true 10-bit color support that’s gone on sale for around $1,899. The Asus model goes up to 240Hz refresh rate, making it a better candidate in the off chance that you want to do a bit of gaming on the side of work. It has more ports, too, with an HDMI 2.1 port plus two Thunderbolt 4 ports (one of which maxes out at 96W, the other is for daisy-chaining to other Thunderbolt monitors).
