[ProArt Display] [MacOS version]Introduction to ProArt Calibration - Setup and operation
ASUS ProArt Calibration
Precise, Consistent, Spectacular Colors
A calibrated and profiled display is a critical element in an efficient digital workflow for color perfectionists. However, the colors on displays decay over time so wide gamut displays are susceptible to color deviation.
ASUS now introduces a new solution- ASUS ProArt™Calibration which provides precise, consistent, and spectacular colors in the professional monitor.
Brightness and Color Consistency
ASUS ProArt Calibration saves all color parameter profiles on the IC chips within the monitor instead of the PC, so that you can connect your monitor to different devices without changing any settings or color shift. Meanwhile it also reduces the signal distortion between the IC & the display. It’s the easy way to recalibrate your display to restore your display's brightness and color consistency.
