Packaging and Contents
As usual the accessories are somewhat thin, but you get a few bits that are at least promoting certain aspects of the ProArt brand. There's a ruler, which while quite small is a nice touch. Something more functional is a DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable. This only comes into play in specific scenarios where you want to use the Thunderbolt 4-compatible USB4 Type-C ports to output to a Thunderbolt-compatible monitor, in which case you could route a DisplayPort on your graphics card into the DisplayPort input on the rear I/O panel, which is then sent through one of the USB4 ports. The benefit here is that a single USB4 port and cable could power your monitor and all the ports on it, which you can't typically do from your average graphics card. This is likely limited to owners of professional monitors, but then that's who the board is aimed at anyway.
