Overview
- ASUS introduced two ProArt QD‑OLED models: the 26.5‑inch PA279CDV at $699 that is shipping now and the 31.5‑inch PA329CDV at $899 due to ship in September.
- Both monitors use native 4K QD‑OLED panels with 10‑bit color, up to 120 Hz refresh, 99% DCI‑P3 coverage, and factory calibration verified by Calman to Delta E below 1.5 for out‑of‑box color accuracy.
- ASUS rates small‑window HDR highlights up to 1,000 nits and assigns VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 for the smaller model and True Black 500 for the larger model to emphasize contrast and HDR punch.
- Workflow features include HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC and daisy‑chain support, a USB 3.2 hub, a USB‑C port with up to 96W Power Delivery, and Auto KVM to switch keyboard and mouse between hosts.
- The CDV models intentionally omit broadcast features such as SDI and a motorized onboard colorimeter and retain typical OLED image‑retention risks, positioning them as lower‑cost, creator‑focused alternatives to ASUS’ higher‑end ProArt USD line.
