ASUS Readies ProArt PA27UCX 27-inch UHD Monitor with DisplayHDR 1000
ASUS today released its premium 27-inch monitor, the ProArt PA27UCX. The monitor is designed to look great on corner-office desks, and packs a serious feature-set. To begin with, you get 4K UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels) resolution, with DisplayHDR 1000 compliance, true 10-bpc color (1.07 billion colors), with DCI-P3, Rec. 709, Rec. 2020 and Adobe RGB wide color gamut, and color accuracy pre-calibration. The IPS panel is illuminated by micro LEDs featuring 576 zones dynamic dimming backlight control. HDR-10 and HLG are also supported. As part of the monitor's design, it only has a single USB-C connector with DisplayPort 1.4 and 60W power draw. A hub adapts standard DisplayPort and an included power-brick.

They also have a 32" model of this - www.asus.com/Monitors/ProArt-PA32UCX/
A) It's Asus and I really wonder how good panel uniformity is going to be and how customer service is going to respond (in Europe) in case of a lemon or any issue..
B) Judging by the current ProArt line-up, I won't be surprised if it is $3,500 or more...so no thanks, I will wait.
second off - since author of article got it wrong, mini led not micro led... eh. nevermind i don't care anymore.
Would evaporate all wannabe-HDR TVs. :D
They are trying to attract the attention of Pro users that resort to $20-30,000 HDR Pro monitors for color grading but this ain't going to happen either since they offer nowhere near what is required by that crowd. Not even remotely....
I really wonder what does Asus expect to sell and to who with these units.
I understand that photographers need that, but no everybody is into photography.
