High-resolution HDR panel
The PA32QCV’s 6K (6016 x 3384) HDR panel has a pixel density of 218 PPI, more than triple that of a 32-inch FHD display. The higher resolution provides sharp text and detailed visuals for color-critical tasks. HDR10 and VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification allow for a wide contrast range, and the 6K resolution offers 145% more workspace than a 4K display, giving users additional room for timelines, layers, and tool palettes.
Mac integration
A dedicated M Model-P3 preset aligns the display’s colors with macOS devices. DisplayWidget Center is also available for macOS, allowing on-screen adjustments for brightness, contrast, and color temperature, with native brightness control supported through MacBook function keys.
Color and precision
Covering 98% of DCI-P3 and 100% of sRGB, the panel delivers 10-bit depth for over a billion colors. ASUS Light Sync technology integrates a startup brightness sensor and an ambient light sensor that adjusts color balance to match the environment. The company states that LuxPixel’s anti-glare, low-reflection coating reduces distractions while preserving detail and clarity.
Productivity features
Dual Thunderbolt 4 ports support data transfer, DisplayPort connectivity, and 96W Power Delivery to charge laptops or accessories over a single cable. The built-in Auto KVM will let users switch between two connected devices using one keyboard and mouse. Additional ports include HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 DSC, USB Type-A, and USB-C downstream, along with a headphone passthrough.
The PA32QCV also offers ergonomic adjustments, including tilt, height, swivel, and pivot for portrait orientation. A 100 x 100 mm VESA mount is included for arm or multi-monitor setups.
