ASUSProArt Display 32” 4K HDR Computer Monitor (PA32UCR-K) - IPS, 1000nits, ΔE < 1, 98% DCI-P3, 99.5% Adobe RGB, USB-C, HDMI, X-rite i1 Calibrator, Compatible with Laptop & Mac Monitor,BLACK

10 bits/channel HDR mode works flawlessly even on a small Macbook M1 in the display's full resolution and of course also on the Pro. HDR with its high contrast, the 10 bits for avoiding color banding and the large P3 color space provide a new experience for photos taken with a camera in raw mode providing that enhanced information.Non-annoying power indicator LED pointing downwards from the underside, the matte screen surface and the massive and well designed stable mount are important details for the whole high quality experience. At lowest mount position the bottom active screen border starts at 11cm above the table surface.The fan runs every half an hour for a few minutes only when HDR mode is active and its sound is not annoying as it's a low frequency wind noise only, no mechanical motor sound or vibration. Much quieter than that of a Macbook Pro for example.The Macbooks attached to this screen only need a single USB-C (Thunderbolt) cable to be powered and transfer the graphic signal. Don't use a USB-C hub in between as when attaching those typically over HDM, you will only get 8 bits/channel SDR. Audio output and input via a USB-C cable headset plugged into the display which acts as USB hub, also works fine.

I love this monitor the picture quality is amazing! I did purchase it with a pretty nice discount so I can't complain when the box came with some ding.The calibration for this monitor was a pain in the glutes! I spent nearly the whole night fighting the X-Calibrator and I finally got it to where I like it.If you are not a professional and a noob like it prepare to fight to get the picture just right.Now that it is all picture-perfect I definitely recommend this monitor. Just a warning prepare to spend hours calibrating to get the picture you like.The ports on this beauty are amazing as well. HDMI works really well for me. I never tried the USB-C but I am sure it will work. But I never tested it so I can't say for sure.Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope it helped.

It is an exceptional monitor with incredible color and retina melting HDR. I'm a Graphic Designer who's mainly focused on print media, so color accuracy is important to me. I also love to game (more on this later). I wanted to dip my toes into working with true HDR content and this was one the lower priced points of entry. Since I only have space for one display and I spend 6-8 hours a day with static content on the screen, buying an OLED was not an option. I also wanted a true HDR 1000 monitor and this delivers. My previous monitor was a 27" 4K Acer with a 10 bit (8 bit + FRC) panel and a respectable brightness. Unfortunately that monitor didn't handle motion the best in spite of being advertised as having a 5ms response time and it always had image retention that eventually become too much of an issue as it aged. I was also worried about the lower PPI of jumping to 32" from 27" would be a bummer. I'm happy to say that it's still plenty sharp, especially for vector work.As other's have noted, there is zero instructions in the box. There's some warranty information, and the factory calibration report, and that's it. In spite of that, setup was easy and straightforward, however seating the display port cable into it's socket was oddly difficult. The orientation of the ports on the back face downwards making accessing them and seeing them a pain. Thankfully you can rotate the monitor into a portrait position, albeit clunkily, which makes the ports easier to access. There's a vanity panel to cover the ports, which pops off under little force, so if you plan to regularly rotate the monitor, just leave it off. There's also only one full size display port.The menu system is okay, but the controls are on the back, which is a little frustrating when swapping color modes. The controls are also located right above it's internal power supply and when in HDR, there is a significant amount of heat being evacuated. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning.The build quality of the display and the build quality of the stand feel like they were made by two different companies. It's not an ugly monitor by far, but the chassis feels cheap and thin. Thankfully there's no audio resonance from my studio monitors placed near it (which I now need to relocate). The stand is an absolute tank and weighs more than the entire monitor it replaced. What does really bother me is the cheek at the bottom of the monitor. It sits a good couple of millimeters from the screen and will invariably be a dirt trap. I had to fish packing material out of this space after unboxing it.The display itself, well it's a mixed bag. In standard dynamic range, using Adobe RGB as an example, and with local dimming off, it performs spectacularly and the contrast range is very acceptable. I find myself turning down the brightness a lot when working in this mode. The monitor's dedicated sRGB mode clamps the peak brightness to 100 nits and upon first use it will warn you about California energy standards and limiting brightness or some such, and then recommends you use standard mode. I'm sure this is to keep people from complaining about the target brightness for SDR. I primarily use the monitor in Adobe RGB. I have not yet had the chance to calibrate my own user profiles, but the factory report listed an Adobe RGB ΔE of 0.35, sRGB ΔE of 0.6, DCI-P3 ΔE of 0.9 and a Gama of 2.17.You can see in the images I shot of the 16 bit gradient from RTINGS that it reproduces perfectly and with no upsetting banding or issues. However when using the EIZO Monitor Test in HRD (All HDR color modes) you can see there is significant banding issues and areas where the gradient is darker before it becomes lighter again. This issue did not present itself in SDR WCG. I decided to take a screen shot of the test in Win 11 with color management disabled. Reading the values in Photoshop reflected the same inconsistency meaning that the irregularity either exists in the way Win 11 is displaying HDR or a fault in the way the EIZO test displays it. The monitor was behaving exactly as expected.There is some image retention as IPS is want to do and is exasperated when switching from high contrast imagery to uniform grey such as most dark mode UIs. It's not noticeable when photographic or video content is displayed. While the retention is very minimal it makes me worry as image retention became worse with my old monitor as it aged out. What was particularly odd was that running the UFO motion video test, there was a checkerboard pattern from the test left on the display that oscillated. Never seen anything like it. A power cycle cleared it.The grey uniformity is fine. Wouldn't call it stellar and it doesn't show up on camera, but there sometimes can be slight perceptible variance of the lighting zones on a dimly lit uniform dark grey with local dimming off. It's still better than a lot of other monitors. The monitor doesn't have the best viewing angles, not VA bad, but there's vignetting that is position dependent.The bummer, the real big bummer, and this seems to be the norm for a lot of monitors, is the inverse blooming when using local dimming and it's a sour experience in HDR. Under most content it's not noticeable, but as you can see from the picture, it's pretty intense, but the photo and dark mode greys makes it look worse. You wouldn't notice thins if you don't use dark mode or a grey UI. There have been moments where the inverse blooming creates a slightly dark halo around certain foreground shots against an muted backdrop. I don't want to sound like the local dimming is terrible, it's just better at certain tasks, and static areas is not one of them. I think it's something I can live with and it's something I expected and new about when purchasing it.Blooming under HRD however, I really don't see an issue. It's there, it's not as terrible as people make it seem, and it's worth it for what you are paying. There's a significant jump in price to double the dimming zones. Either way, this monitor delivers a HDR experience that is vastly better than my QLED Samsung TV with it's VA panel which cost twice as much. Is it bad HDR for someone color grading HDR Rec 2020 for a living, probably, but this is a sub $2K display that allows me to work with and enjoy HDR.One of the headaches I faced as a gamer and choosing a new display is that usually you can either have an amazing gaming monitor that sucks for design, or an amazing monitor for design that sucks for gaming, at this price point. I'm not a completive gamer, but I also don't want to game on a slug. The model that preceded this as tested by Hardware Unboxed measured an insane input lag of 60ms. This made me nervous, especially since the monitor it was replacing, while mediocre at motion, had an insanely low latency. I haven't done any kind of professional latency test, however i did some tests using a frame timer and a 240 fps camera. While not in a game or using a wireless controller, all my tests were two frames or less. This puts the latency around 34ms on the high side and 25ms on the low side. Significant, but no worse than a console and a TV. So, yes, gaming on this monitor is an enjoyable experience and things like Cyberpunk 2077 are very playable and in HDR, beautiful really. I'm happy with this. The motion of this monitor is also significantly better than the one it replaced. All around motion clarity is very good, much better than what I had before and the Motion Sync, or what I assume is black frame insertion does a great job of increasing motion clarity at the expense of brightness. In HDR with the more conservative motion sync on, you can expect something on par with HDR 600 in terms of brightness.A few minor caveats. There is one dead (stuck off) green sub pixel in the far lower left quadrant of the screen. I only noticed during a test. The warranty states not more than 5 stuck off sub pixels and zero stuck on pixels. There are no other pixels I've noticed being out. Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose. The monitor takes an absurd amount of time to wake up or switch between HDR and SDR. On average of 8-10 seconds. It's a slug.A note about the way the product is packed in the box. The box does not say -K on it. When I received mine, I lifted the top of the box off as you would and inside I found only the monitor and the stand. No colorimeter, no cables, nothing. Turns out that they were still stuck inside the top of the box I lifted off. I upsettingly called Amazon that I'd been shipped not only the wrong product, but that it that was a return and missing items. To Amazon's credit they were ready to ship out a replacement for me. While on hold I discovered my error and that everything was there and I profusely apologized to the lady that helped me.
