The flagship of the ProArt series
Immediately after the release in 2016, the flagship Asus PA329Q monitor from the ProArt series received an award from Chip magazine as the best solution for designers and artists. As noted in the review, the monitor provides all the tools a designer needs, such as support for the Adobe RGB standard and also a 10-bit IPS matrix for 1 billion colours, but at the same time it costs significantly less than reference Eizo monitors.
32" Ultra HD
With UHD resolution (3840x2160 pixels) and high pixel density (137 ppi), this 32-inch IPS panel is even better than many other smaller monitors. The results of laboratory measurements of Asus PA329Q will impress people working with graphics. First of all, you need to highlight the perfect colour space coverage: 100% sRGB and 99.5% Adobe RGB.
Focused on professionals
But there is no support for G-SYNC and FreeSync technologies, which are necessary for smoother frame changes in games. Which, in general, emphasizes the orientation of the monitor to professionals working with graphics, photos and videos. The only nuance of the matrix, which you can find fault with, is a slight uneven backlight. Closer to the edges of the display, the image becomes darker and the difference from the centre reaches 15 – 17%. However, this can be corrected using the settings in the menu.
Convenient adjustable stand
A monitor with a thin, barely noticeable frame looks solid, and a branched leg, taken from the gaming line of ASUS monitors, dilutes the austere look, giving it a twist. For maximum comfort while working, the stand can be adjusted in height, rotate the monitor 60 degrees, tilt back or switch to portrait mode. In general, the ergonomics of the monitor is at a very high level, and it will fit on any desk. The main thing is to have enough space.
There are not many ports
The Asus PA329Q boasts four HDMI 2.0 inputs, two DisplayPorts and a full 5-port USB hub. At the same time, most of the exits are right at hand — on the left under the frame, which is very convenient. Throw in a card reader and built-in acoustics, and you'll get functionality that some motherboards would envy.
