ASUS releases new professional ProArt monitor

ASUS may be best known for its consumer-oriented products of various uses, but it also has a collection of devices intended for the enterprise market, such as the monitors from the newly expanded ProArt series.

While the idea of a monitor is basically the same for all such panels, their makers can choose from a variety of performance and design options in order to determine their uses.

Professional monitors, to be more specific, usually have a few more advanced capabilities than consumer-oriented ones, like especially rich color gamuts.

This lets them serve the purposes of graphics designers and the like, even though the overall specifications do often lead to higher prices.

The new ProArt PA238Q from ASUS has, unfortunately, not been given a price yet, but it does definitely have the assets of a professional display, meaning that the resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (Full HD) is not its only strength.

One of said assets is the IPS display technology, which grants 178-degree viewing angles.

Another advantage is the 100% reproduction of the sRGB color space, complete with precision calibration straight out of the factory.

The RFB coloration is handled by an internal firmware with a 10-bit lookup table instead of an 8-bit one.

Other than that, the dynamic contrast ratio is of 50,000,000:1, which is quite high as far as DCR ratings go.

ASUS gave its newest display a diagonal length of 23 inches and multiple connectivity options, those being DVI-D, DisplayPort, HDMI and even four USB ports.

In other words, those who buy the product will be able to hook up multiple video sources to it at the same time.

Other things that prospective customers could find a use for are the exclusive QuickFit Virtual Scale software (displays photos and documents in true size on the screen) and the possibility to tilt, swivel and adjust the height.
