Targeting the high-end U.S. creative market, ASUS has announced the launch of two new flagship monitors: the ProArt Display OLED PA27USD and PA32USD. Designed specifically for professional video editing and high-stakes post-production, these displays combine cutting-edge QD-OLED technology with high-speed performance and precision calibration tools.
Visual Performance and Precision
The lineup features a 26.5-inch model (PA27USD) and a 31.5-inch model (PA32USD), both boasting 4K resolution and advanced QD-OLED panels. These displays offer a peak brightness of 1,000 nits and 10-bit color depth, supporting over 1.07 billion colors. For industry professionals, color accuracy is paramount; both monitors provide 99% DCI-P3 coverage and arrive factory-calibrated with a Delta E < 1, positioning them among the most color-accurate options available in the retail market.
A standout feature for studio environments is the integrated motorized colorimeter. This hardware allows for scheduled auto-calibration, with profiles saved directly to the monitor’s internal chip. This ensures consistent color accuracy across different workstations or operating systems without the need for manual recalibration.
Speed and Connectivity

12G-SDI port for uncompressed 4K video at 60Hz
