ASUS Unveils World's First 8K mini-LED Monitor
Over the weekend, ASUS unveiled the world's first 8K mini-LED professional monitor, also known as the ProArt PA32KCX, offering a superior display unlike any other. ASUS said that it can process and work with raw 8K footage shot by devices that can capture said detail without sacrificing any of the material.
It is a 32-inch 8K screen that features 7680x4320 pixels in the screen, offering the massive perks of using a mini-LED type of display.
ASUS ProArt PA32KCX Specs and Price
It offers a ΔE value (Delta-E) value of less than one, covers 97 percent of the cinema-grade DCI-P3 color gamut, and ASUS ProArt hardware for color optimization and profile, complete with a built-in motorized flip colorimeter.
The mini-LED features 4096 zones with a peak brightness of 1200 nits and full-screen brightness of 1000 nits.
Additionally, the professional monitor offers high-end HDR-also supporting other HDR metadata formats like HLG and True HDR 10.
ASUS also offers a dedicated workstation for connectivity including HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1, alongside two Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C ports with up to 96W power delivery for charging, and lastly, a USB hub.
ASUS configured the new monitor to work seamlessly with Calman and Light Illusion ColourSpace CMS professional hardware calibration software.
There is still no pricing on the device, but considering its 8K mini-LED specs and its touted as a professional monitor, it would be around $5,000, and as much as $8,000, as per YouTuber Vincent Teoh, who was among those who were first to see the actual monitor.
8K Experiences in the Market Now
There are not many 8K monitors in the market now, but other technologies are offered at the best and most premium resolution innovation in the world. Previous studies have been behind the addition of 8K's premium resolution to improve electron microscopy, which could be used in various fields like medicine and science, among other applications.
Of course, 8K resolution would not be possible without the cameras that can capture these incredible details, depth, and other factors that make up the massive picture. The RED 8K Pro Camera is among the earliest to feature this capability for capturing massive resolution, and it does so with a sensor that can capture 120 FPS RAW video.
Most 8K resolution offers now are centered on smart televisions, with TV manufacturing leaders like Samsung, LG, and others already offering them. However, Dell was the first in terms of monitors, but ASUS takes it up a notch with its offer of 8K resolution on mini-LED. However, do not expect it to be cheap, as it will come in the premium professional monitor range.
