For several months now, if you’ve been keeping an eye on what Asus is up to, you’ll have seen, as we have, that the brand is seriously beefing up the ProArt family. Taking advantage of Computex, the company has added yet another layer by presenting three new monitors aimed at the professional market.
We’ve already mentioned the PA32KCX, a 32″ 8K monitor featuring a mini LED panel and integrated colorimeter. The PA27JCV ProArt 5K monitor with 218 ppi and 27″ panel makes its first appearance at Computex 2024. Similarly, the PA32QCV with 6K on a 32-inch panel offers the same pixel density.
ProArt 5K PA27JCV
The 27″ ProArt Display 5K PA27JCV monitor offers a whopping 218 pixels per inch (ppi) thanks to its 5,120 × 2,880 pixel resolution. It’s a screen type that doesn’t come along very often. If you want a similar configuration, you’ll have to go to Apple with its Studio Display or Samsung with its ViewFinity S90PC. For the moment, Asus has not released many details about this version. It’s a safe bet that we’re dealing with the same IPS panel as its two competitors. However, the emphasis is on precision and quality of color reproduction. Asus has come up with the “LuxPixel” solution, an anti-reflective coating designed to make the screen look like paper. Unlike conventional matte screens, the image is thus displayed in sharp focus. The DCI-P3 color gamut should be almost fully covered, with 100% coverage for sRGB.
ProArt 6K PA32QCV
This screen has the same pixel density as the PA27JCV. However, it is now 31.5″ diagonal, with a resolution of 6,016 × 3,384 pixels. In terms of aesthetics, however, it’s the same as the aforementioned 27″. The same applies to functionality and color promise. This model is not currently on show at Computex, but has just been announced.
ProArt 8K PA32KCX
As mentioned at the start of this article, we can’t really speak of a “new product”, as we already covered the announcement some time ago. However, it can be seen and used on the company’s stand. The target of this 8K display is clearly stated: filmmakers and video editing. It therefore seems almost pointless to point out that it offers high color accuracy with Delta E < 1 and supports various HDR metadata formats, including HLG and HDR10. The monitor should cover 97% of the DCI-P3 color spectrum.
