The right mix of features for any workflow

Creators consider many factors when picking a display. Screen size, resolution, aspect ratio, connectivity, and ergonomic adjustments are all important elements, for creatives as for anyone else. But one key spec sets apart displays for creators from the competition: accuracy. For professional-quality work, you need to trust your display to perfectly paint each pixel. ProArt Displays are factory calibrated to achieve an average ΔE value of less than 2—if not lower—giving you confidence that you’re seeing each hue correctly. Certifications from Pantone or Calman, depending on the model, attest to the out-of-the-box color accuracy you can expect from a ProArt display.

Increasingly, creators are looking for monitors that pair professional-level accuracy with high dynamic range (HDR) capabilities. The HDR ecosystem has matured, and consumers are eager for content that takes advantage of the inky shadows and dazzling highlights that their HDR TVs and monitors can produce. We offer ProArt displays with the exceptional contrast, wide color gamut support, and factory calibrations that creators need to work in this new frontier of media.

ProArt displays also offer excellent coverage of a wide range of industry standard color gamuts—and the tools you need to efficiently change color spaces and make adjustments. The ProArt Preset tool, accessible through the on-screen display, lets you cycle through color space options to find the one that best fits your workflow. Through ProArt Palette, you can make fast adjustments to brightness, saturation, and hue, among others—an invaluable tool for getting a consistent image across multiple monitors.

The best ProArt displays for HDR workflows

Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel tech is a natural fit for HDR content mastering. Since each individual pixel in an OLED panel is its own light source, OLED displays can offer ultra-precise control and extreme contrast. The ProArt Display OLED PA32DC uses a cutting-edge OLED panel to meet the needs of creatives working with HDR content.

The ProArt Display OLED PA32DC’s vivid OLED panel is finely tuned to meet the needs of the creators working with HDR content. Unlike other OLED panels that use an RGBW or PenTile sub-pixel array, the PA32DC uses an RGB sub-pixel arrangement for the crispest on-screen images and text. Its generous 31.5” diagonal gives you a close and careful look at your work, while its 3840×2160 resolution brings out all the fine detail in your creations. Its ultrafast 0.1ms response time makes it a natural fit for mastering fast-moving HDR content, as each pixel can rapidly transition to a new color without visible blur.

OLED panels are known for their excellent color reproduction, and the ProArt Display OLED PA32DC is a shining example of what the tech can provide to even the most demanding of creators. It offers true 10-bit color, and it covers 99% of the cinema-grade DCI-P3 color gamut. ASUS Smart HDR technology ensures compatibility with existing streaming video services and a growing list of HDR-enabled games. The PA32DC supports multiple HDR metadata formats so that you can check how content will appear for a wide range of target displays before it’s sent off for final delivery. To maintain professional-level accuracy over the long term, the PA32DC has a built-in Auto Calibration tool, making it the world’s first OLED display with such a feature. A built-in colorimeter moves into place when you need it, even with the display hood mounted.

OLED tech isn’t the only game in town for HDR workflows, though. We offer ProArt displays that use full-array local dimming (FALD) Mini-LED backlights to deliver stunningly bright HDR highlights and eye-popping contrast between light and dark areas.

The ProArt Display PA32UCR uses 576 Mini-LED dimming zones spread across its 32” canvas to offer dazzling highlights and top-end contrast. This impressive performance lets it claim elite VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification. Whether you’re targeting Hybrid Log-Gamma or HDR10 metadata for HDR playback, the PA32UCR supports each standard so that the user can always show how that content will appear before it’s sent off for final delivery. 98% DCI-P3, 99.5% Adobe RGB, and 100% sRGB coverage make the PA32UCR a flexible canvas for still and moving images alike.

For the ultimate in HDR highlight reproduction across the broadest range of input sources, the ProArt Display PA32UCG-K stands ready. Thanks to an 1152-zone Mini-LED backlight with an incredible 1600 nit peak brightness rating and VESA DisplayHDR 1400 certification, this monitor simulates both light and dark with unparalleled realism, giving filmmakers and videographers a unique tool for recognizing their creative visions.

HDR is an increasingly common feature in games. Like other artists, game developers need accurate and reproducible color. Game developers also work with content that naturally includes higher refresh rates than the 24 FPS or 30 FPS typical of film and TV. Thanks to HDMI 2.1 inputs and variable refresh rates ranging from 48Hz to 120Hz, the PA32UCG-K lets game developers and asset artists view their creations exactly as they’ll be reproduced on modern consoles and gaming PCs.

The best ProArt display for game development and 3D animation

And you’re almost certainly looking for a space-saving display with rich connectivity options.

Enter the ProArt Display PA328CGV.

The PA328CGV offers a large 32” vista for creating in-game assets and checking out your current build. Its 2560×1440 resolution both brings out fine detail and provides plenty of room for viewing multiple windows simultaneously.

The PA328CGV’s FreeSync Premium Pro certification attests to its rock-solid gaming credentials.

Increasingly, developers are using HDR content to dial up the immersion for their fanbases.
