- ASUS PROART PA27USD Monitor delivers 1200 CD/m² Brightness in a compact design
- Unexpected SDI connection brings workflows to broadcasts in a regular desktop monitor
- ASUS balances ambitions of broadcasts in everyday life in PA27USD
Asus has expanded its proart line with two new screens, but the smaller Proart OLED PA27USD is the most interesting.
Located as a video editor screen combines the high brightness, HDR support and a professional portlayout.
ProART OLED PA27USD has a 27-inch QD OLED panel running at 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution.
A compact screen with TV -ambitions
This business monitor delivers a maximum brightness of 1200 CD/m² and supports both HDR10 and HLG formats.
These brightness levels are typically found in larger monitors of reference quality.
With this capacity, it must be suitable for video editing and photo editing, where accurate colors and consistent tone mapping are important.
An unusual aspect of PA27USD is its connection, which includes a 12g-Di port.
This port is usually limited to broadcasting and study equipment and can handle uncompressed video of 12Gbit/s.
Next to this, ASUS added two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4-support, each delivering up to 96W power supply.
This allows a laptop to be driven, charged and connected to the display through a single cable that reduces desktop root.
These combined features suggest that ASUS aims to balance flexibility with a degree of broadcast with desk -friendly applicability.
However, it is still uncertain how many standard workstation users actually need SDI.
The company also released the larger Proart Cinema PQ09U, a 162-inch microlated display with the same 1200 CD/m² pointed brightness.
While ASUS did not confirm the solution, it is assumed to be 4K UHD. Its real advantage is at a pixel height of 0.93 mm.
This tighter pixel density helps the screen to maintain sharpness even when viewed close to, which is important for film production environments, screening rooms or large design presentations.
Both PA27USD and PQ09U are targeted at creative professionals, but while the former is located as a business surveillance for those who need compact HDR performance with versatile I/O, the latter is designed for cinematic spaces where scale and clarity mean more than using desktop.
At the time of writing, ASUS has not announced accessibility dates or pricing, which has left early impressions, which are mainly based on specifications rather than the real world.
