Dough is standing up a 32-inch 240Hz 4K OLED monitor for 2024

The product’s not even half-baked yet, but that isn’t stopping Dough — the bread gaming monitor company formerly known as Eve has just announced what it claims will be the first 32-inch 240Hz 4K OLED monitor in the entire market.
Saying I’m skeptical doesn’t come close to cutting the mustard. Even if we forget about Dough’s old track record — which you definitely shouldn’t — this is a company that confidently told us it would ship a 27-inch OLED monitor this July but is currently targeting no sooner than October. Asus, Acer, Corsair, and LG have already shipped monitors with the same 27-inch panel inside — why wouldn’t they beat Dough to 32 inches, too?
In other words: you should take Dough with a pinch of salt.
But like Dough’s promised 27-inch OLED, the new 32-inch 4K OLED sounds like it could be upper crust, if it rises at all.
While its 98.5 percent DCI-P3 color, 48–240Hz VRR (and meh 150-nit typical brightness) should be available to any manufacturer adopting the same OLED panel, Dough is going against the grain by offering USB-C connectivity with 100W of charging for your laptop — in addition to a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort, a 3.5mm audio jack, and five 10Gbps USB ports (one USB-C input, two USB-C outputs, and two USB-A outputs, in addition to the upstream USB-C connector for your PC).
