The Kuycon P32K from every angle.
Perforated back, your choice at purchase. 
Plain back: solid aluminum. 
Three-quarter view: glass bonded from edge to edge. 
From the back, plain version. 
In profile: 22 mm thick. 
From the front, on the desk. 
From the front: thin, even bezels on all four sides.
4K at 144 Hz
4K on 32 inches. Up to 144 frames per second.
The Kuycon P32K displays 3840 × 2160 pixels on 32 inches and goes up to 144 Hz: 2.4 times as many frames per second as a 60 Hz monitor. Scrolling, moving windows and the pointer become noticeably smoother, on Mac and PC alike.
Its panel is 70 cm wide, 17% more than a 27-inch monitor. On a Mac, macOS offers several display sizes: “1920 × 1080”, the sharpest, where each point is drawn with four pixels, or scaled sizes such as “2560 × 1440”, for more workspace.

Fast IPS panel
500 nits under glossy glass. And HDR10.
The P32K's Fast IPS panel delivers 500 nits across the whole screen, with a 1000:1 contrast ratio. It is bonded to glossy glass with an anti-reflective coating, with no air gap: colors keep their vibrancy, with the stable colors and wide viewing angles of IPS.
- 500 nits Full screen
- 1000:1 Contrast
- HDR10 Over USB-C, DisplayPort and HDMI
Good to know: HDR is automatic by default and can be turned off in the monitor's menu; on a Mac, the "High Dynamic Range" option in Displays settings appears depending on the model. Like any glossy screen, the P32K reflects a window placed opposite it: it works best in a room without strong direct light.
Color
Over a billion colors. 96% of DCI-P3.
The P32K displays 10-bit color, or 1.07 billion shades. It covers 96% of DCI-P3, the digital cinema gamut with the same primaries as the Display P3 of Macs, and 99% of sRGB, the web standard, with a color difference ΔE below 2.
- 10-bit 1.07 billion colors
- 96% DCI-P3
- 99% sRGB
sRGB, Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 modes limit the gamut to the chosen working space; a paper-like black and white mode (E-Mode) and blue light reduction make reading easier on the eyes. Tip: the first time you connect it, choose the monitor's color profile in System Settings, Displays, or adjust it with a colorimeter.
Gaming
For work, and for play. PC in 4K 144 Hz, consoles in 4K 120 Hz.
The same monitor serves the Mac by day and the console in the evening. A PC reaches 4K at 144 Hz over DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1 or USB-C; a PS5 or Xbox Series displays 4K at 120 Hz with HDR over HDMI 2.1.
- PC 4K 144 Hz
- PS5 4K 120 Hz HDR
- Xbox Series 4K 120 Hz HDR
- Nintendo Switch HDMI
In games, the variable refresh rate (G-SYNC, FreeSync and VRR compatible) syncs the monitor to the graphics card: no more screen tearing. Two HDMI 2.1 inputs: the console stays plugged in next to the PC, and the remote switches from one to the other.
Connectivity
4K USB-C 100 W monitor. One cable for video, data and charging.
On the P32K's USB-C port, a single cable carries the 4K picture at 144 Hz, charges the MacBook at up to 100 W and connects the monitor's two USB-C ports. For a PC or a console: one DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1.
USB-C upstream
DisplayPort Alt Mode up to 4K 144 Hz HDR, USB data and USB Power Delivery charging up to 100 W. Connects to Thunderbolt 3, 4 and USB4 ports.
DisplayPort 1.4
HBR3, HDCP 2.3. 4K at 144 Hz HDR with a compatible graphics card.
2 × HDMI 2.1
With FRL and DSC, up to 4K 144 Hz HDR. A PS5 or Xbox Series in 4K 120 Hz HDR.
2 × USB-C downstream
USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), 5 V 2.1 A: keyboard, mouse, USB drive.
3.5 mm jack
Audio output for headphones or speakers.
Built-in power supply
A single power cord, no external power brick. EU, UK, US, AU or CN plug, your choice.
The monitor's USB-C port connects to the Thunderbolt 3, 4 or 5 and USB4 ports of Macs and PCs. For 4K at 144 Hz, use the included USB4 cable (40 Gbps, 5 A) or a USB 3.2 Gen 2 or USB4 cable; for 100 W charging, a 5 A USB-C cable with an e-marker chip. On a PC, 4K at 144 Hz requires an output with DSC: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, RTX 20 and newer, AMD Radeon RX 5500 and newer, Intel Iris Xe. Without DSC, 4K is still possible at 120 Hz.
Mac compatibility
Which Macs run the P32K at 144 Hz? Almost every Mac with an M chip.
All Apple Silicon Macs, from the M1 chip to the M5 chip, display the P32K in 4K over a single USB-C cable, with 100 W charging. It goes up to 144 Hz on Macs with M2, M3, M4 and later, as well as on M1 Pro, M1 Max and M1 Ultra; it stays at 60 Hz on M1.
| Chip | 4K refresh rate |
|---|---|
| M4, M4 Pro, M4 Max and later including M5 and M5 Ultra | 4K 144 Hz a single USB-C cable |
| M5 Pro, M5 Max* | 4K 144 Hz* |
| M2 Pro, M2 Max, M2 Ultra, M3 Pro, M3 Max, M3 Ultra | 4K 144 Hz a single USB-C cable |
| M3 | 4K 144 Hz† |
| M2 | 4K 144 Hz† |
| M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra | 4K 144 Hz† |
| M1 | 4K 60 Hz |
| iPad Pro USB-C port | 4K 60 Hz iPadOS limit |
| MacBook Neo A18 Pro chip | 4K 60 Hz one external display up to 4K 60 Hz |
Maximum refresh rate of the P32K in 4K by chip, with a single external display connected. Apple guarantees a 4K display up to 144 Hz over Thunderbolt or HDMI from M4 chips onward, and over HDMI on MacBook Pro models with M2 Pro to M3 Max.
- † M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, M2 and M3 chips. Over USB-C, Apple only guarantees 60 Hz on these chips; users report 4K at 144 Hz, depending on the Mac, the cable and the macOS version. The MacBook Pro with M3 also reaches it through its HDMI port.
- * MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max. Since March 2026, users of displays from several brands have reported a macOS bug: over USB-C or Thunderbolt, displays set above 60 Hz can drop back to 60 Hz. Apple has not released any fix to date; macOS 27 Golden Gate should normally fix it. In the meantime, the Mac's HDMI port, with an Ultra High Speed HDMI cable, works around the problem: the P32K's HDMI 2.1 inputs accept 4K at 144 Hz. The base M5, MacBook Air and Mac mini with M4 are not affected. The bug and its workarounds
- Intel Macs. 4K at 60 Hz over Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C, including on 2017 and later iMac models, the 2019 Mac Pro, 2017 and later MacBook Pro models with AMD graphics, and 2019 and later Macs with a 10th-generation Intel Core processor.

Frequently asked questions
Which Macs run the P32K in 4K at 144 Hz?
Every Mac with an M1 to M5 chip displays it in 4K over a single USB-C cable, with 100 W charging. The P32K goes up to 144 Hz on Macs with M4 and later and on M2 Pro, M2 Max, M2 Ultra, M3 Pro, M3 Max and M3 Ultra; on M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, M2 and M3, users report 144 Hz over USB-C, but Apple only guarantees 60 Hz. The base M1 stays at 60 Hz, as does the MacBook Neo.
Is my MacBook Pro with M5 Pro or M5 Max affected by the high refresh rate display bug?
Yes, it can be. Users of displays from several brands report that over USB-C or Thunderbolt, macOS sometimes brings displays set to a higher refresh rate back down to 60 Hz. Apple has not released any fix to date; macOS 27 Golden Gate should normally fix it. In the meantime, connect the P32K to the Mac's HDMI port with an Ultra High Speed HDMI cable: its HDMI 2.1 inputs accept 4K at 144 Hz. The base M5 is not affected.
What do you need on a PC to reach 4K at 144 Hz?
A DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1 or USB-C output with a graphics card that supports DSC compression: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, RTX 20 and newer, AMD Radeon RX 5500 and newer, or an Intel processor with Iris Xe or UHD 700 graphics. Without DSC, 4K is still possible at 120 Hz.
Is the P32K good for consoles?
Yes. A PS5 or Xbox Series displays 4K at 120 Hz with HDR through either of the two HDMI 2.1 inputs; the Nintendo Switch also connects over HDMI. The variable refresh rate (VRR) reduces screen tearing.
Is text as sharp as on a 5K or 6K display?
No. The P32K displays 139 pixels per inch, compared with 218 for a 27-inch 5K display and 223 for the Kuycon G32P in 6K. In return, it offers 144 Hz and a large 32-inch panel. On a Mac, the “1920 × 1080” size gives the sharpest text, “2560 × 1440” more space.
Is one cable enough to connect a MacBook?
Yes. The included USB4 cable carries the 4K picture at 144 Hz, up to 100 W of charging and the data for the monitor's two USB-C ports. For 100 W charging with another cable, choose a 5 A USB-C cable with an e-marker chip.
What ports does the P32K have?
One USB-C upstream port (video, data and 100 W charging), one DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.1, two USB-C downstream ports at USB 2.0 speed and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, with every video port in 4K at 144 Hz. The power supply is built in.
Is the screen matte or glossy?
Glossy, with an anti-reflective coating: the glass is bonded to the panel, with no air gap. Colors keep their vibrancy; facing a window in direct sunlight, a matte screen reflects less.
What is the difference between the plain back and the perforated back?
Only the look: the plain back is solid aluminum, the perforated back has two wide honeycomb-pattern strips. The panel, ports and refresh rate are identical. You choose the back when you buy.
Is the stand included?
You choose the mount when you buy: fixed stand or height-adjustable stand. The 100 × 100 VESA adapter comes with the monitor, for a monitor arm or a wall mount.
Does the P32K support HDR?
It supports HDR10 over HDMI, DisplayPort and USB-C, with 500 nits full screen. HDR is automatic by default and can be turned off in the monitor's menu; on a Mac, the "High Dynamic Range" option appears depending on the model.
Does the P32K have a camera or speakers?
No. Sound goes through the 3.5 mm jack output to headphones or speakers; for video calls, use your Mac's camera or an external camera.
What warranty do I get, and will I pay taxes?
2-year warranty worldwide. Kuycon does not charge any taxes: at checkout, you choose DDP (import fees paid in advance, nothing to pay on arrival) or DAP (VAT and duties paid to the carrier on delivery), depending on the options available in your country.
How long does delivery take?
To an EU country, express delivery from our EU warehouse takes 48 to 96 h, subject to stock availability. Otherwise, the monitor ships from the factory: 5 to 10 business days by Air Express DAP, 10 to 20 business days by Air Express DDP, 30 to 40 business days by truck with DDP. You then have 14 days to change your mind.
