ASUS to debut new ProArt displays including 135-inch micro LED screen

Product launches from ASUS in Vegas will include the 135-in ProArt Cinema PQ07 — the first ASUS micro LED display — and the ProArt Display PA24US, the first ProArt monitor with SDI connectivity. There’s more as well.

Two new ASUS ProArt products will be launched during the 2023 NAB Show, so let’s start at the top with the ASUS ProArt Cinema PQ07 as it’s a 135-inch (yes, 135-inch) 4K HDR monitor featuring advanced panel technologies, an ultra-small 0.7815 mm pixel pitch, 2000-nits peak brightness, high contrast and a 95% DCI-P3 color gamut to ensure the best viewing experiences. According to the company, compared to conventional micro LED displays with a 1.2  or 1.5 mm pixel pitch, the ProArt Cinema PQ07 delivers smoother and more vibrant visuals. The large-screen display is well-suited for various scenarios for those who can afford it, from home cinema, to virtual productions, broadcasting, and others. Plus, it’s fully scalable for different sizes and aspect ratios.

The ProArt Display PA24US, meanwhile (below), is the first ProArt model with SDI connectivity and is ideal for real-time on-set previews and playback. This 23.6-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) HDR display has a maximum brightness of 600 nits, true 10-bit color, 99% Adobe RGB, 95% DCI-P3, and Delta E < 1 color accuracy. PA24US supports multiple HDR formats, including HDR10 and HLG, plus it includes a built-in motorized colorimeter for self-calibration, 12G-SDI, and a full-function USB-C port with 80-watt power delivery.
