ASUS has been busy at Computex 2024 this year, and not only that ROG Ally X game hand, but a gang of new laptops. Now the company has switched to monitors, opening several exciting entertainment and content creation models, including the first Google TV and 8K ProArt displays.
The 27-inch 4K (IPS) ZenScreen Smart MS27UC is the company’s latest entertainment display. As mentioned, this is the first ASUS with Google TV and includes a remote with a built-in Google Assistant microphone.
Along with what ASUS calls “ultra-thin display bezels and a small footprint stand,” there are built-in front-firing 5W Harman Kardon speakers and a headphone port on the back. One unusual feature is a rear shelf that allows you to store a keyboard, mouse and Google TV remote. Other features include a DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 port, USB-C (PD 90W), dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0 and Miracast.
ASUS has also released some impressive (and probably quite expensive) ProArt displays aimed at content creators. First up is the ASUS ProArt Display 8K PA32KCX, which ASUS calls “the world’s first 8K mini-LED professional monitor.” The 32-inch display offers a resolution of 7,680 x 4,320 and a maximum brightness of 1,200 nits (1,000 continuous brightness) thanks to Mini LED technology with 4,096 local dimming zones.
It offers professional-grade features with less than 1 delta E in terms of color accuracy, true 10-bit color and 97 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 (HDI) color gamut. It includes a built-in motorized flip colorimeter for automatic and self-calibration, while offering dual Thunderbolt 4 ports with up to 96 watts of power delivery (along with HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 ports).
Meanwhile, the 27-inch ProArt 5K PA27JCV and 32-inch PorArt 6K PA32QCV displays support resolutions of 5,120 x 2,880 and 6,016 x 3,384 respectively. ASUS doesn’t reveal what display technology is used, but they have something they call “LuxPixel” technology, which uses an anti-glare coating that offers a “paper-like” effect without softening the image.
Both offer DisplayPort™ over USB-C® with 99 percent DCI-P3 coverage, less than 2 Delta E and 96W power delivery. Both look fairly low-profile and come with metal stands.
Finally, ASUS showed off some new dual-screen displays that could be seen on laptops or standalone monitors. These include the ZenScreen Duo OLED with a 14-inch 16:10 FHD dual 0LED display that can be opened up to 21 inches for increased productivity. There are no pricing or shipping dates set for any of the new displays yet.
