Asus ProArt PA27UCGE: Color-accurate 4K monitor with up to 160Hz and 600 nits debuts

The Asus ProArt PA27UCGE is a new monitor that has apparently been designed with professional users in mind. It's a 4K screen that's also equipped with a motorized colorimeter, which is supposed to contribute to a high color accuracy and is compatible with certain software.

The 4K monitor covers 98% of the DCI-P3 color space and 100% of the sRGB color space with a color deviation of Delta E under 1. This might not be particularly relevant for the typical private users, but accurate colors are crucial for many professional workflows including video editing.

The technical specifications of the 27-inch IPS panel include a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, a peak brightness of 600 nits, refresh rate of up to 160Hz and gray-to-gray response time of 1 millisecond. Adaptive-Sync is supported as well, which makes the new 4K monitor from Asus suitable for gaming. In addition, there’s a USB hub and a KVM switch that allows users to assign accessories to certain devices.

In terms of connectivity, the ProArt PA27UCGE can receive image signals via USB-C and supply laptops with up to 96 watts of power. Two speakers with 2 watts each are built-in, and the monitor can be tilted and adjusted in height for better ergonomics. Asus has yet to reveal its official list price and release date of the new ProArt 4K display.
