The latest ProArt displays ensure exceptional color precision is within easy reach with its latest 6K and 4K offerings: ASUS ProArt Display 6K PA32QCV, and the ProArt Display PA32UCE and PA27UCGE 4K monitors. The ProArt Display 6K PA32QCV delivers 6K resolution visuals with its high 216ppi and 98% DCI-P3 gamut, giving creators more onscreen workspace and stunningly-clear visuals.

Both monitors include a built-in colorimeter for self-calibration to ensure long-term color accuracy. What's more, the PA27UCGE offers a superfast 160 Hz refresh rate.

ROG Strix XG32UCG
Designed for professional gamers, ROG Strix XG32UCG boasts a 31.5-inch 4K Fast IPS panel with a 160 Hz refresh rate for buttery-smooth visuals. A framerate boost feature provides it with dual modes, enabling gamers to switch between 4K @ 160 Hz or FHD @ 320 Hz visuals via a hotkey, allowing for truly immersive FPS and AAA+ gameplay.

Extensive connectivity options including DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 15 W Power Delivery ensure compatibility with various devices. Additionally, ASUS DisplayWidget Center allows users to adjust monitor settings, keyboard shortcuts, and custom settings via a mouse. To further enhance gaming experiences, XG32UCG features AI enhancements such as Dynamic Crosshair and Dynamic Shadow Boost, along with ASUS Aura Sync technology.



ASUS ZenScreen Smart MS32UC: The smartest choice
The latest addition to the 2025 CES Innovation Award-winning ZenScreen Smart series, ZenScreen Smart MS32UC enriches any space with the entertainment options and productivity of Google TV. Compared to its predecessor, the ZenScreen Smart MS32UC raises the wow factor thanks to a large 31.5-inch UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS display with 98% DCI-P3 gamut, enhanced features, and more immersive audiovisual experiences with its two front-facing 5-watt Harman Kardon speakers. ZenScreen Smart MS32UC targets to meet VESA DisplayHDR 400 and is able to support multiple HDR formats, including HDR10 and HLG. Additionally, the monitor offers Miracast and Chromecast wireless support. Extensive connectivity options include USB Type-C with 90 W Power Delivery, HDMI, DisplayPort, and a USB hub. There's also 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz WiFi and Bluetooth 5.2.

The embedded Google TV system offers up to 10,000+ apps, personalized recommendations, and the latest AI features powered by Google. The integrated Multi-platform Live Streaming app enables users to broadcast live videos and content to four different online platforms simultaneously.

In addition, Zen Screen Smart MS32UC has a stylish and functional design that includes special acoustic fabric and a convenient storage compartment at the rear of the monitor.



ASUS ZenScreen MB27ACF: Redefine your workspace
ASUS ZenScreen MB27ACF features a 27-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) IPS panel and smooth 100 Hz refresh rate for daily entertainment and casual gaming. Engineered to be thin and lightweight, it measures a mere 5.4 mm at its thickest point and weighs less than 3 kg. Compared to the preceding model, MB27ACF offers a large screen size, while maintaining the same weight. It offers users extensive connectivity options including HDMI, full-function USB Type-C with 70 W Power Delivery, and headphone output.



ASUS ZenScreen MB169CK: Flexible setups with a detachable 360° kickstand
ZenScreen MB169CK is a 15.6-inch portable monitor featuring an FHD IPS panel and a detachable 360° kickstand that screws into its rear tripod socket for easy tilt adjustments in either portrait or landscape mode. The kickstand can be easily removed when not in use, and it features a handy cutout that enables the monitor to be attached to a wall mount. ZenScreen MB166CK includes two USB-C ports, mini HDMI, and an earphone jack. Users can easily adjust brightness, contrast ratio, and the auto-rotation feature via ASUS DisplayWidget Center. Like the ZenScreen MB27ACF, ZenScreen MB169CK is also packed in environmentally-friendly FSC-certified paper materials.

ProArt Display 6K PA32QCV: Seeing beyond belief
The 32-inch ASUS ProArt Display 6K PA32QCV features a stunning 6016 x 3384 resolution panel with 216 pixels per inch (PPI) for unparalleled image clarity, making it ideal for video editors, photographers, and AI artists. Compared to a 4K monitor of the same size, PA32QCV provides 145% more onscreen workspace, providing creators with a larger canvas for their content. With 98% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB coverage, and targeting VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification, PA32QCV ensures true-to-life color reproduction. This monitor features ASUS LuxPixel technology that includes an anti-glare and low reflection (AGLR) coating for a paper-like screen effect. Unlike traditional matte panel finishes that soften images, the specially-formulated coating provides exceptional pixel color fidelity and sharper details. The monitor is Calman Verified and factory-calibrated to ensure Delta E<2 color accuracy—making it ideal for color grading. ASUS Light Sync solutions, featuring ambient light and backlight sensors, ensuring remarkable color accuracy and precise color temperatures, right on startup.

ProArt PA32QCV offers extensive connectivity options including two Thunderbolt 4 ports with 96 W Power Delivery and daisy-chain support. Plus, there's DisplayPort 1.4 (with Display Stream Compression), HDMI 2.1, and a USB hub to ensure seamless integration to any workflow.

The monitor's ergonomic stand provides users with tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments for the ideal viewing position.



ProArt Display PA32UCE and PA27UCGE: Exceptional color precision is within reach
ProArt Display PA32UCE and PA27UCGE are designed for video editors and colorists seeking 4K resolution and professional-grade color accuracy. These 32-inch and 27-inch 4K HDR monitors offer 600-nits brightness and up to 98% DCI-P3 gamut for beautifully saturated and accurate colors. Both monitors are factory pre-calibrated to achieve a Delta E<1 color accuracy. The ASUS Light Sync solution uses the backlight sensor to automatically detect backlight brightness and adjusts it to compensate for deviations at startup, eliminating warm-up time and ensuring accurate color performance. Likewise, the ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the monitor's brightness and color temperature based on ambient lighting, for true colors in any environment. These monitors support multiple HDR formats, including HLG and HDR10. ProArt Display PA27UCGE also features a 160 Hz refresh rate to ensure ultrasmooth visuals.

The built-in motorized flip colorimeter in each monitor makes it easy to maintain the display's color accuracy over time. Both models also offer auto/self-calibration to ensure the process never interferes with the creative process. ProArt Display PA32UCE and PA27UCGE provide exceptionally comfortable viewing experiences with ASUS LuxPixel technology, a suite of the latest monitor features including anti-glare and low-reflection (AGLR) technology to significantly minimize distracting environmental reflections. Extensive connectivity options, including DisplayPort over USB-C with 96 W power delivery, DisplayPort, HDMI and a USB hub, ensure seamless integration into any workflow.

The hardware for DP2 must be expensive to implement and meet the specs of the standard. I’ve never seen such slow adoption of just a revision to a widely deployed video standard.

"4K" is called that because it's 4x 1080p, not because it has 4000 pixels on one axis, so no.

2160p is better terminology for 4K anyway.
