HLG support allows for use with satellite TV broadcasts, allowing users to view and create content for streaming platforms and satellite TV channels including BBC iPlayer, Japan NHK TV and DirecTV.
HDR Preview also works with video editing software, to allow creators to view their final output in order to handle a leaner editing process.
Exceptional colors
PA32UCG-K boasts the Quantum-dot technology which offers a wide color gamut of 98% DCI-P3, 99,5% Adobe RGB, 100% sRGB, 100% Rec. 709 and 85% Rec. 2020 for video editing and post-production. Along with realistic 10-bit color depth, PA32UCG-K offers content creators a broad spectrum of colors with which to develop imagination and creativity.
The factory pre-calibration process uses a new three-scale system that guarantees color fidelity that represents the industry benchmark. The display is also subjected to rigorous testing using ASUS's advanced grayscale tracking technology to ensure more consistent color gradations, improved consistency and exceptional color accuracy with a Delta E <1 value for sRGB gamuts. and Adobe RGB.
Min LED panel with wide viewing angles
Most mini LED monitors have color accuracy issues when viewing the panel from wide, off-center angles, which is a problem when collaborating with clients or colleagues on color-critical projects.
The PA32UCG-K monitor's Off-Axis Contrast Optimization (OCO) technology solves this problem with a compensation layer that controls light transmission. This technology reduces the halo effect by 80% and improves the contrast ratio of the darker parts of the screen, to ensure that the on-screen content is accurately displayed to all viewers.
Easy calibration
Technology ASUS ProArt Calibration saves all color parameter profiles on the IC chip built into the monitor, instead of on the PC. The monitor can be calibrated and the color lookup table can be rewritten, allowing users to connect the monitor to devices with different operating systems or applications without having to re-adjust settings. Signal distortion between the IC and the LCD optical spectrum is also reduced. The saved color profiles are easily accessible via the hotkey on the monitor.
Integrated technology ASUS ProArt Calibration 2.0 allows quick and easy adjustments to maintain accuracy color of ASUS ProArt monitors. It allows SDR and HDR calibration with adjustable brightness, color gamut, color temperature and other parameters to ensure consistent and accurate colors.
ProArt displays are compatible with most major calibration systems, including those from X-Rite, Datacolor and Klein. They also work perfectly with the software Calman and Light Illusion ColourSpace CMS professional hardware calibration for quick and easy calibration.
Frame rate superveloci
