I feel like I’m in a bit of a situationship with the Dough Spectrum Black 32. One minute I’m head over heels for its glossy 4K gorilla glass-coated panel with dual resolution capabilities, the next I’m throwing all of its hypothetical clothes out of the window in response to its finicky firmware. This is certainly one of the first gaming monitors by the company I’ve tested that comes close to a perfect score, but small quirks keep it from being a dreamboat display.
Dough Spectrum Black 32 prices start at $899 for the matte version, and that’s honestly not half bad for a 31.5-inch 4K 240Hz dual-resolution that rivals the best gaming monitor options. It’s a chunk cheaper than my current favorite screen, the LG Ultragear 32GS95UE, despite using the exact same WOLED panel, not to mention the $1,099 model I’ve been testing boasts that extra layer of glossy Gorilla Glass. You’d think that would help it steal the crown, I mean, I was rooting for it. However, when you combine those aforementioned firmware issues with the fact it doesn’t come with a stand, LG’s own screen still comes out tops.
