ASUS Expands ProArt with a True 8K Masterpiece
ASUS is expanding the toolkit for creators with the October availability of the ProArt Display PA32KCX, a flagship 8K HDR monitor designed to deliver ultra-sharp detail, precise color, and streamlined professional workflows. Built for editors, designers, and colorists, the PA32KCX pairs a 8K panel (7680 x 4320) with a density of 275 pixels per inch, offering more onscreen real estate and crisper text than many 4K displays. This combination makes tiny design intricacies and typography easier to read, while also presenting the highest levels of visual clarity for intricate asset review and color-critical work.
Industry-Leading Visual Fidelity
The PA32KCX leverages advanced mini LED technology and a new backlight profile to minimize halos and artifacts. Independent control ICs manage backlight zones to reduce flicker during transitions and sustain a peak brightness of up to 1200 nits, with 1000 nits of full-screen sustained brightness. This dynamic brightness performance creates striking contrast—deep blacks beside bright highlights—essential for HDR workflows where precise highlight roll-off matters for cinema- and broadcast-grade projects.
Color accuracy stands at the forefront. The monitor covers 95% Adobe RGB, 97% DCI-P3, 100% sRGB, and 100% Rec. 709, making it suitable for a wide range of content creation tasks. Its true 10-bit IPS panel supports over 1.07 billion colors, enabling nuanced gradients and smoother color transitions during grading and color correction.
Calibrated to Perfection, Out of the Box
Each PA32KCX leaves the factory with a rigorous three-scale calibration process, followed by grayscale tracking tests to ensure uniformity and precision. The result is a Delta E value below 1, signaling highly faithful color reproduction. For professionals who demand ongoing accuracy, a built-in motorized flip colorimeter can be deployed for self-calibration, compatible with multiple operating systems and usable without additional software.
ProArt Calibration stores color parameter profiles directly on the monitor’s internal scaler IC, enabling seamless use across devices and operating systems. The feature also supports a recurring calibration schedule, helping studios maintain consistent looks across projects and teams. For centralized control, ProArt Color Center software enables remote group calibration, which is particularly valuable in larger workflows where multiple editors or colorists need synchronized color settings.
Tools to Keep Creatives Moving
The PA32KCX isn’t just about color—it’s designed to boost productivity. HDR support includes Dolby Vision, HLG, and HDR10, enabling creators to work in or preview multiple formats without switching displays. An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts brightness to ambient conditions, while a proximity sensor dims the screen when no one is nearby, saving energy over long work sessions.
Connectivity is built for the modern studio. Dual Thunderbolt 4 ports provide up to 96 W of power delivery to charge devices and support daisy-chaining, while DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 ports connect to current and future systems. A built-in auto KVM switch makes it easy to share a keyboard and mouse between two laptops or PCs, and Picture-by-Picture (PbP) and Picture-in-Picture (PiP) modes offer flexible multi-source monitoring with customizable color engine options for each window, enhancing review and comparison tasks.
Designed for the Way Creators Work
Ergonomics and flexibility are central to the PA32KCX’s design. The stand supports tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustment, with a 90-degree rotation into portrait orientation for tasks such as poster layouts or large-format design work. A quick-release VESA mount option adds space-saving versatility for workshop studios or client review setups.
With October availability, ASUS positions the PA32KCX as a premier tool for professionals seeking uncompromising 8K detail, studio-grade color, and scalable workflow features in a single, future-ready monitor.
