Professionally assessed Asus ProArt PA32QCV 6K display: Rich in pixels, color depth, and luminosity
The Asus PA32QCV monitor, a popular choice for HDR enthusiasts, boasts impressive brightness and contrast, but its color performance may not meet expectations for some users. Upon initial testing, the luminance curve of the PA32QCV starts a bit light but manages to meet the reference line by 10%. In practice, HDR colors on the PA32QCV appear a bit muted, despite having no shortage of brightness. The best option for PQ on the PA32QCV is the PQ Optimized mode, which delivers the correct luminance tracking. The grayscale result on the PA32QCV is generally good, with no major issues to report, except for a touch too much blue around 60 and 65% brightness. The monitor is capable of rendering all of the DCI-P3 gamut, as the SDR tests showed. However, the BT.2020 test reveals general undersaturation until color runs out at 82% red, 65% green, and 95% blue. One of the standout features of the PA32QCV is its HDR image quality. With dynamic dimming turned on, it delivers a nearly 10,000:1 contrast ratio. The HDR Black Level is a low 0.0660 nit, and the HDR White Luminance reaches 644.9141 nits. The monitor delivers more HDR brightness and contrast than typical IPS monitors with edge backlighting. However, the HDR color performance may vary between samples. The HDR Sequential Contrast of the PA32QCV is an impressive 9,771.3:1. Despite its high brightness and contrast, the PA32QCV's HDR color accuracy is not as strong as some users might hope. The PA32QCV supports HDR10 signals and switches automatically. It offers three PQ options, each with a slightly different luminance curve. The grayscale and EOTF tracking on the PA32QCV are on point. Dynamic dimming on the PA32QCV is very effective, taking the contrast ratio up to nearly 10,000:1 without penalty. In conclusion, the Asus PA32QCV monitor offers impressive HDR brightness and contrast, making it a great choice for those seeking a high-performance HDR monitor. However, its color performance may not meet the expectations of some users, particularly in terms of color accuracy. As always, it's essential to test a monitor before purchase to ensure it meets your specific needs.
