monitor market for the first time.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Mini LEDs are typically found in gaming monitors. Unlike LCD backlights, they 
offer a broad contrast range, with deeper, near-OLED quality levels of black, 
that enrich and enhance the dynamism of both SDR and HDR content. 

Asus has brought Mini LED technology to the ultra-high-end business monitor 
market for the first time with its new 32-inch ProArt Display PA32KCX. The 8K 
screen (that's a whopping 7,680 x 4,320 pixels - 275 PPI), is aimed at 
professional photographers, video editors and graphics artists. 

The panel covers over 97% of the cinema-grade DCI-P3 color gamut and is 
equipped with 10-bit color capabilities and a 4096-zone Mini LED backlight 
that tops a brilliant 1200 nits, with a sustained brightness of 1000 nits. It 
supports multiple HDR metadata formats, including HLG and HDR10. Plenty of 
connectivity options 

The monitor comes with a motorized flip colorimeter, so you can check and 
preserve the displays color accuracy, and screen calibration can be done 
manually or automatically. 

The monitor offers LuxPixel Technology, which includes Anti-Glare, 
Low-Reflection (AGLR) tech, and Eye Care+, ensuring that light disturbances 
won't degrade image quality, while also preventing eye fatigue and strain. 

As youd expect of a screen of this quality, the ProArt Display PA32KCX comes 
with a welcome range of connectivity options. In addition to HDMI 2.1 and 
DisplayPort 2.1 ports and a USB hub, it offers dual Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C 
ports with up to 96 W USB Power Delivery. 

It certainly looks like a winner for Asus, and ticks all the boxes for any 
creatives looking for a Mini LED monitor that isnt specifically aimed at 
gamers. Theres no word on availability at the moment, or pricing, but for an 
8K screen with Mini LED technology, youre easily looking at a few thousand 
dollars. More from TechRadar Pro We've rounded up the best monitors for photo
