From ASUS Press Release: ASUS today announced ProArt Display PA32UCX-PK and PA27UCX-K, 4K HDR monitors for professional content creators with groundbreaking Off-Axis Contrast Optimization (OCO) technology that maintains color accuracy in wide-angle viewing and makes the monitors ideal collaboration tools.
The 32-inch PA32UCX-PK and 27-inch PA27UCX-K feature mini-LED backlighting and support for multiple HDR formats, including Dolby Vision®, HDR10 and Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG). PA32UCX-PK offers a peak brightness of 1,200 nits with 1,152 zones of local dimming control, and PA27UCX-K offers a peak brightness of 1,000 nits with 576 zones.
Designed to give content creators professional-grade color performance, PA32UCX-PK and PA27UCX-K come pre-calibrated and provide Delta E (ΔE) < 1 color accuracy in sRGB and Adobe RGB, as well as quantum-dot technology that supports the DCI-P3, Rec. 709, Rec. 2020, sRGB and Adobe RGB color spaces.
Both models come with an X-Rite i1 Display Pro included. For seamless calibration, the monitors are also compatible with most major calibrators and professional calibration software.
Pioneering mini-LED displays with wide-view color accuracy
ProArt Display PA32UCX-PK and PA27UCX-K feature excellent color and contrast with a wide viewing angle. Most mini-LED monitors have color accuracy issues when viewed from a wide angle, which presents a problem when collaborating with clients or colleagues on color-critical work. The groundbreaking Off-Axis Contrast Optimization (OCO) technology[i] in PA32UCX-PK and PA27UCX-K solves this problem with a compensation layer that controls light transmittance. OCO technology reduces the halo effect by 80% and provides a 7X contrast-ratio enhancement for dark colors when viewing the screen from a wide angle. Through OCO technology, the monitors ensure that on-screen content is displayed accurately to all viewers.
4K displays with Dolby Vision, HDR10 and Hybrid Log Gamma support
ProArt Display PA32UCX-PK and PA27UCX-K feature ASUS Smart HDR technology, which supports multiple High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) formats and multiple PQ curves to suit needs specific to content creators. PA32UCX-PK and PA27UCX-K both support Dolby Vision® HDR, delivering ultra-vivid quality, incredible brightness, contrast, color and detail to transform entertainment experiences and make storytelling come alive. Dolby Vision achieves astonishing image quality through cinema-inspired HDR technology that can deliver billions of colors. When compared to a standard picture, Dolby Vision ensures a brilliant picture with a full range of tones, including highlights that are up to 40 times brighter and blacks that are 10 times darker.
ProArt Display PA32UCX-PK and PA27UCX-K support HDR10 and multiple PQ curves — including PQ Hard Clip, PQ Optimized and PQ Basic — to meet content creators' needs and ensure compatibility with existing streaming video services and a growing list of HDR-enabled games. HDR10 is also supported by the HDR Preview function, which enables video creators to connect their camera directly to ProArt PA32UCX-PK and PA27UCX-K and view captured HDR content with its full tonal range. HDR Preview also automatically works in video editing software, enabling creators to view accurate simulations of final output for an easier and more streamlined editing experience.
Support for Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) enables use with broadcast and satellite TV, including with the BBC’s iPlayer, Japan NHK TV and DirecTV. The HDR Preview function also supports HLG formats.
Industry-leading color performance
ProArt Display PA32UCX-PK offers true 10-bit color depth with 1,200 nits of peak brightness, and PA27UCX-K offers 1,000 nits of peak brightness, providing an entire spectrum of colors to work with for video editing and post-production. Quantum-dot technology supports the cinema-standard DCI-P3 color gamut, resulting in more realistic colors. PA32UCX-PK delivers a wide color gamut of 99% DCI-P3, 99.5% Adobe RGB, 89% Rec. 2020, 100% sRGB and Rec. 709, and PA27UCX-K provides 97% DCI-P3, 99.5% Adobe RGB, 83% Rec. 2020, 100% sRGB and Rec. 709. With professional-grade color performance, both monitors are suited for high-end video editing and post-production.
ProArt Display PA32UCX-PK and PA27UCX-K are pre-calibrated to guarantee industry-leading Delta E < 1 color accuracy in sRGB and Adobe RGB. The monitors feature advanced gray-scale technology to ensure images are accurately reproduced onscreen. PA32UCX-PK and PA27UCX-K also include technology to ensure 95% uniformity compensation to guard against brightness and chroma (color) fluctuations across different parts of the screen.
Broad compatibility for comprehensive calibration
ProArt Display PA32UCX-PK and PA27UCX-K comes with an X-Rite i1 Display Pro calibrator along with ProArt software that supports top calibrators from Datacolor, Klein and others, as well as professional calibration software, such as Calman and Light Illusion ColourSpace CMS. Users also can choose from a variety of advanced settings to achieve optimum color accuracy, and can save color parameter settings on the monitor’s IC chip to enable accurate, consistent color across various connected devices.
The X-Rite i1 Display Pro uses advanced filter optical systems, fast measurement speed and color accuracy on LED, Plasma, RG Phosphor, OLED and Wide Gamut displays. The i1 Display Pro is spectrally calibrated which will help extend the life of your monitor. Ambient light measurement, monitor profiling and projector profiling are three functions that are incorporated in this modern, sleek and compact ergonomic design.
