ASUS ProArt PQ22UC OLED 4K HDR Professional Monitor Announced

Introducing the World’s First 21.6-inch OLED 4K UHD HDR10 Monitor

ASUS is finally launching their much anticipated ProArt PQ22UC monitor. This is the world’s first 21.6-inch OLED 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) HDR display for professional use.

Unlike other ProArt displays, the PQ22UC is designed to be ultraslim and conveniently portable. It even has a fold-flat stand cover in addition to the requisite monitor stand.

The advanced OLED panel has pure RGB self-illuminating pixels and a 1000000:1 contrast ratio. This means superior HDR with deep blacks and tonally accurate highlights. In fact, it is factory pre-calibrated with Delta E < 2 colour accuracy.

It features 10-bit colour graphics to display more than 1.07 billion colours, a 14-bit internal lookup table, and support for Gamma values of 2.6, 2.4, 2.2, 2.0, and 1.8 to produce natural-looking images with smoother transitions between hues. Boasting professional-grade colour with 99% DCI-P3 gamut coverage.

The ASUS ProArt PQ22UC includes a Micro HDMI and dual USB-CTM ports which support AC power input, data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps and 4K UHD output.
