ASUS Announces January 2024 Availability of ProArt Display PA32UCXR

2024/01/04


TAIPEI, Taiwan, January 4, 2024 —ASUS today announced that ProArt Display PA32UCXR will be available on shelves by January 2024. This 32-inch 4K monitor features mini LED backlighting with 2304-zone local dimming, a peak brightness of 1600 nits, and up to 1000 nits sustained brightness without partial patch limitation. PA32UCXR boasts 99% Adobe RGB and 97% DCI-P3 gamut. Designed for post-production workflows, each monitor is factory pre-calibrated to guarantee Delta E1 color accuracy and features a built-in motorized flip colorimeter along with Auto Calibration and Self Calibration functionality for convenience. PA32UCXR works with ProArt Calibration software as well as third-party offerings such as Calman and Light Illusion ColourSpace CMS to ensure professional-grade colors. Two Thunderbolt™ 4 ports and a host of other connectivity options enable seamless and efficient creative workflows, making this monitor ideal for content creators.

Ultra-realistic visuals

To lower costs, most mini LED technology use fewer control ICs, preferring to employ central control via data scanning for chained zones. This approach requires brighter imagery to achieve optimal performance, which can lead to screen flickering, irregular brightness, and a shorter LED lifespan.
In contrast, ProArt Display PA32UCXR boasts impressive 2304-zone local dimming. It uses numerous control ICs to independently manage backlighting zones, effectively minimizing onscreen flicker during transitions and ensuring high levels of sustained brightness. This gives PA32UCXR outstanding brightness uniformity, efficient heat dissipation, and improved HDR image quality.
ProArt Display PA32UCXR delivers peak brightness of 1600 nits and an industry-leading 1000 nits of full-screen sustained brightness, allowing for outstanding contrast between the deepest blacks and gleaming whites.

True-to-life colors

PA32UCXR exceeds industry color reproduction standards with its 99% Adobe RGB, 97% DCI-P3, 100% sRGB, 100% Rec. 709, and 87% Rec. 2020 color gamut, making it ideal for post-production. The true 10-bit IPS panel is able to showcase more than 1.07 billion colors to give content creators a vast color spectrum to work with.
Each ProArt display is factory pre-calibrated using a new three-scale process to guarantee industry-leading color fidelity. The display then undergoes stringent testing using ASUS advanced grayscale tracking technology to ensure smoother color gradations, better uniformity and high color accuracy with a Delta E1 color difference value. Each grayscale level is also carefully measured and set to ensure compliance with the DICOM standard for medical use.

Intuitive and intelligent calibration

For convenience, ProArt Display PA32UCXR has a built-in motorized colorimeter that flips into place during calibration and has an innovative self-calibration feature. It is compatible with any OS and doesn’t require any additional calibration software. Users can initiate the calibration process at any time, or schedule calibration to occur during off hours via settings in the OSD menu.
ASUS ProArt Calibration technology saves all color parameter profiles on PA32UCXR’s internal scaler IC chip instead of the PC. Users can calibrate the monitor and subsequently rewrite the look-up table, allowing them to connect it to devices with different OS or applications without the need to adjust monitor settings. PA32UCXR is supported by ProArt Color Center , offering remote group control and calibration tools that allow users to run vital tasks from a centralized location. Calibration schedules and customized color parameters can be set to maintain consistent, professional-level accuracy. ProArt Calibration technology can also be used to schedule regular calibration intervals. Additionally, the built-in colorimeter works seamlessly with third-party Calman or Light Illusion ColourSpace CMS professional hardware-calibration software.

Create in ultra-vivid HDR

Exclusive ASUS Smart HDR technology enables ProArt Display PA32UCXR to support multiple HDR formats, including Dolby Vision® , HLG, and HDR10. Dolby Vision transforms the viewing experience with unmatched levels of brightness, contrast, and colors. HLG allows users to view and create material for broadcast and satellite TV platforms such as BBC iPlayer, Japan NHK TV, and DirecTV. HDR10 support ensures compatibility with existing streaming video services and a growing list of HDR-enabled games.

Enjoy streamlined, more efficient workflows

The inclusion of dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, DisplayPort™ 1.4, and two HDMI® 2.0 ports ensure futureproof compatibility with displays and peripherals. One of the Thunderbolt 4 ports offers up to 90 W Power Delivery to charge devices, as well as the ability to daisy-chain several displays though a single port, without the need for a hub or switch. PA32UCXR also includes an earphone jack and USB hub.
PA32UCXR supports Picture-by-Picture (PbP) and Picture-in-Picture (PiP). The former allows users to view content from up to four input sources simultaneously. Each window’s color mode can also be configured to sRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI-P3, Rec. 2020, User Mode 1, User Mode 2, or User Mode 3. PiP mode places content from a second input source in a smaller window that can be placed in any corner of the display.
PA32UCXR features an ambient light sensor that automatically dims or brightens the display. There’s also a proximity sensor that dims the display when it detects that there isn’t a user in front of the monitor.
A bundled wraparound hood helps reduce on-screen reflections from nearby light sources, enabling users to work with confidence in the studio or on location. The ergonomic stand of PA32UCXR offers tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments to allow users to find their preferred viewing position. Being able to pivot the screen 90° clockwise or anticlockwise to portrait orientation comes in handy when working with posters, playbills, and other large-format projects. A quick-release feature allows users to VESA mount the monitor to a wall to save desktop space.
