Ever since ASUS ProArt PA32UCX-PK, a 32-inch 4K HDR calibrated monitor, has been launched in the market, hordes of creative professionals have come forward appreciating the quality of these displays. Yes, ASUS ProArt PA32UCX-PK monitor has been well-received by creative folks specializing in areas such as cinematography, animation, visual effects and photography. ASUS’ state-of-the-art monitor tests the taste of great success.
The 32” ASUS ProArt PA32UCX-PK 4K HDR calibrated monitor features variable mini LED backlighting and 1200 nits peak brightness. It offers Off-Axis Contrast Optimization technology to reduce halo effects by 80 percent as well as 7X contrast-ratio enhancement. This means that on-screen colors and even dark imagery are presented accurately to viewers – even when viewing from an angle.
For creative professionals in photography and film, color accuracy and image quality are paramount. Quite recently, ASUS have spoken with four content creators – a colorist, a cinematographer, an animator, and a high concept unreal engine filmmaker – to get their views as to what it’s like working on the ASUS ProArt PA32UCX-PK monitor.
With great frankness, Darren Mostyn, a post-production colorist, says, “This is vital that the monitor is calibrated and accurate to broadcast standards. My work is based around color, and if I don’t have an accurate representation of it I’m basically working blind”. “Good color performance means that I can rely on my monitor to give an accurate account of what I’m going to be sending to the broadcasters”, accentuates Mostyn.
The ProArt PA32UCX-PK enables filmmaker Haz Dullul to conduct post-production color checks with the same quality and accuracy found on professional equipment used in post-production facilities. “ASUS ProArt comes with a professional calibrator that puts my mind at ease, knowing that what I am creating at my home studio is going to pass the QC checks when the content is passed to content distributors, and eventually to the audience”, views Dullul. “Delivering 4K for streamers such as Netflix means that my display specs and color need to be of the highest industry standard”, adds he.
Photographer and cinematographer Brett Danton works with 4K imagery everyday. The 4K HDR display with 1152-zone mini-LED backlighting and 1200 nits peak brightness of PA32UCX-PK are a perfect solution for him. “Professional-quality reference monitors have always been very expensive. Before I received this monitor I could only judge my images by going to an expensive post house”, says Danton. “I can now work confidently at home at a level that simply wasn’t possible before. It’s completely changed my post-production workflow”, adds he.
Animator Julia Young notes the benefits of the ergonomic stand with tilt, swivel, pivot and height adjustability as well as the VESA mount option offered by PA32UCX-PK. “The most important thing for me is that my setup is ergonomic and that I have the most reliable equipment that I can afford,” views Young.
