AOC has launched a new gaming monitor under its Agon Pro brand and the PD32M has been designed in cooperation with Porsche Design, which for clarity's sake, isn't the same company as the car manufacturer. The PD32M is based on a "frameless" 32-inch 4K 144 Hz capable mini-LED display and carries a Display HDR 1400 certification, with a peak brightness of 1600 nits. It is also said to deliver 97 percent of the DCI-P3 colour space, which would make it a decent display for work as well as play. The display also supports Adaptive Sync, but it's unclear if it's FreeSync or G-Sync compatible.
On the connectivity side there are a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort, presumably of the 1.4 variety, one USB-C, although no mention of display input via USB-C is mentioned, as well as a USB-C four USB-A 3.2 (most likely 10 Gbps) ports and a headphone jack. Based on the picture of the rear of the PD32M, there also appears to be a couple of additional 3.5 mm jacks and another port of unknown type around the back. It's also clear from this picture that an external power brick is being used, although AOC hasn't provided any details about it.
Each side of the display appears to feature a headset hanger and the rear of the display features some kind of LED arrangement that AOC calls Light FX. The PD32M also sports a pair of 8 Watt speakers that carry a DTS certification. Maybe the most interesting feature is the wireless remote, or quick switch as AOC calls it, which allows you to change the display settings without reaching around the back of the display. As with many gaming monitors, the stand appears excessively large and is likely to take up a lot of desk space, but the display can at least be rotated and the stand is height adjustable. There's even a lit up Porsche Design logo at the base of the stand, just because. At US$1,799 this is likely to be a monitor with a very limited customer base, of which some is likely to be because of the design partner. The PD32M has a shipping date of the 15th of June, but it can be pre-ordered now.
