ASUS has expanded their ASUS ProArt Display lineup with two new 4K displays designed for creative professionals. The PA27UCGE and PA32UCE offer factory calibration, wide color gamut coverage, and pro-level connectivity. Whether you’re in video post, photo retouching, or motion graphics, these monitors aim to bring more accurate color and workflow flexibility to your desk without breaking the bank.
When you’re editing or color grading video, the accuracy of your monitor isn’t just important. It is everything. A screen that is properly calibrated and able to display the full color gamut can save you hours of second-guessing. It helps you trust what you’re seeing, whether you’re matching cameras, fixing skin tones, or applying a final grade. That is why having a display designed for content creation can make such a huge difference.
These new models follow ASUS’s recent push into the creator display space. Back in March, we covered the ProArt PA32UCDM, a 4K OLED monitor aimed at HDR workflows. You can read that article here.
The PA27UCGE and PA32UCE take a different approach with high-quality IPS panels and more accessible pricing.
One standout feature on both monitors is the built-in motorized flip colorimeter, which enables hands-free self-calibration for consistent color accuracy over time. Just the idea of not having to get my X-Rite off the shelf before I finish a project is a game-changer to me.
Let’s see what else they’ve got to offer.
The PA27UCGE aims to deliver professional color accuracy in a compact form. It covers 98 percent of DCI-P3 and comes factory calibrated with Delta E less than 1. It includes a built in colorimeter for automated calibration and supports Calman workflows.
The panel reaches 600 nits typical brightness and meets the VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification. Motion performance is smooth with up to 160 Hz variable refresh rate and Adaptive Sync. Ports include USB-C with 96-watt power delivery, HDMI, DisplayPort, RJ45 passthrough, and a USB hub. Ambient light sensing, anti-glare coating, and Auto KVM round out the feature set.
The PA32UCE builds on the same foundation as the 27-inch model but adds more screen space and advanced connectivity. It matches the same color accuracy and hardware calibration tools, including the motorized colorimeter. Brightness reaches 600 nits typical, and the monitor is VESA DisplayHDR 600 certified.
It also supports HDR10 and HLG formats for more flexible grading environments. Thunderbolt 4 adds daisy chaining and high-speed data options, while USB-C, HDMI, and DisplayPort give creators multiple ways to connect. Like the smaller model, it also includes anti-glare coating, light sensors, and Auto KVM switching.
Both monitors also include a complimentary Adobe Creative Cloud subscription trial, available upon product registration through ASUS.
On paper, both monitors offer excellent specs. You get 4K resolution, wide gamut color, hardware calibration, and flexible I/O. These displays should satisfy most working creators, especially editors, motion designers, and content producers who want reliable visuals without paying for top-tier reference gear.
But these are not true reference monitors. A brightness level of 600 nits is perfectly fine for SDR work and HDR previews, but it may not be enough for users who prefer higher brightness for HDR mastering. Personally, I like to see at least 1000 nits in a display if I’m working on serious HDR content. If you regularly deliver for platforms with strict HDR spec requirements, you may want something brighter and more specialized.
Still, the built-in calibration tools, color accuracy, and extended color space coverage are strong. For the price, these displays strike a solid balance between performance and affordability.
These monitors are available to purchase now from B&H. The ASUS ProArt 27″ PA27UCGE is priced at $949, and the ASUS ProArt 32″ PA32UCE is listed at $1,199.
