ASUS Showcases Stunning Monitors and Powerful Computing

 

 ProArt Cinema PQ09U

 

It's genuinely difficult to choose a specific highlight from the ASUS stand, there is so much to see, but let's start with the ASUS ProArt Cinema PQ09U, which is the latest addition to the ProArt Cinema micro-LED display lineup. It is genuinely huge at 162-inches, and the 4K UHD HDR monitor features advanced panel technologies, ultra small 0.93 mm pixel pitch, 1200 nits peak brightness, high 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and 97% DCI-P3 color gamut. We might need to pluck up some courage to ask how much it is.

 

 

We definitely know the ProArt Display 6K PA32QCV is €1299 though. We've actually just given it one of our coveted IBC2025 Awards, so you can read the details of it over there. Suffice to say though that it is probably one of the best monitors you can get for an Apple Mac (or anywhere else) at the moment and features a lovely 6016 x 3384 resolution screen with 216 pixels per inch and covers 98% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB.

 

 

New at the show is the ProArt OLED PA27USD. This 27-inch 4K UHD monitor delivers 99% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and is factory pre-calibrated to achieve an average Delta E value of less than one for superb color accuracy. ProArt Hardware Calibration technology provides color-accuracy optimization and color profile write-back.

 

It features 1000 nits of peak brightness, and true 10-bit color depth, supports multiple HDR metadata formats, including HDR10 and HLG, and works seamlessly with Calman and Light Illusion ColourSpace CMS professional hardware calibration software.

 

Connectivity options, including 12G SDI, Dual Thunderbolt 4 with up to 96 W power delivery and daisy-chaining, HDMI ports, and a built-in USB hub, mean that you are likely to find it in a lot of different places when it ships next year for what we're told will be €2199. It even features a wraparound hood that reduces on-screen reflections from nearby light sources, enabling users to work with confidence in a studio with nearby bright lights or even outdoors.

 

 

On the laptop side of things, the ProArt P16 is powered by the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor with an XDNA NPU (up to 50 TOPS), and is now available with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU.

 

ASUS says that the launch of the RTX 50 Series Laptop GPUs marks a breakthrough moment for video editing by accelerating 10-bit 4:2:2 video workflows, with superior multi-track 4K/8K playback, faster export speeds, enhanced stability for high-res, multi-layer content, faster AI effects processing, and more VRAM. "For Windows video creators, this is a true milestone," it says. "Workflows that once required a high-end workstation can now be accomplished anywhere... it redefines what is possible in mobile video creation."

 

The ProArt P16 also features the new ASUS Lumina Pro OLED touchscreen, billed as the best display in an ASUS laptop to date, and offering excellent color accuracy, visual clarity, seamless motion, and eye care for exceptional visuals. 

 

 

Lastly, there are two demos of seamless, end-to-end file transfer workflows tailored for creators. In one, the RT-BE58 Go travel router and 5G-GO mobile network device are used to represent a mobile setup, and demo how captured footage can be instantly and securely sent back to the studio via VPN. In the other aimed more at studio users, the ProArt Creator Router 7 PRT-BE59 provides fast and stable Wi-Fi 7 wireless connectivity, and is coupled with the ProArt Creator Switch 10S PQG-U1080 which supports 10Gb wired networking. This enables smooth large file transfers and real-time editing, and showcases reliable collaboration between in-the-field work and production.

 

It's a timely reminder that, for all the promises of direct to cloud workflows and more, having the right technology in place to make it all happen is still essential.
