Asus PA328Q ProArt 4K Monitor Review

Rating: 8.0.

Ultra HD 4K monitors have been dropping in price this year, although quality IPS models still command a premium. Today we look at the ASUS ProArt PA328Q, priced around £1,000. While still expensive, it is a far cry from the launch price of the IGZO 4K ASUS PQ321QE, which was a wallet sapping £3,000.

The Asus PA328Q measures 32 inches and has four times the density of a standard 1080p panel. The panel is 10 bit IPS and Asus claim it delivers 100% of the sRGB colour gamut. The panel ships calibrated from the factory and has a 12 bit lookup table to help render accurate images.

Asus PA328Q ProArt Overview:

  • Professional-grade 32-inch 4K/UHD display with four times the pixel density of Full HD displays.
  • Factory pre-calibrated, industry-leading color accuracy with 100% sRGB and Rec. 709 color space support.
  • Extensive connectivity with HDMI 2.0/1.4, DisplayPort 1.2, and MHL 3.0 for smooth 4K/UHD content playback.
  • ASUS Eye Care Technology with TÜV Rheinland-certified Flicker-free technology which eliminates onscreen flicker.
  • Adjust for maximum comfort with ergonomic tilt, swivel, pivot and height adjustments plus wall-mount capability.

The FTC is suing Adobe over ‘hidden fees’ and subscriptions

Adobe has had a bit of a monopoly in the editing software space for a while now. With the launch of Creative Cloud and a switch to a subscription model for Adobe apps, many long-time users have complained about pricing and the subscription cancellation process. Now, the US government has decided that enough is enough, with the FTC filing a lawsuit against the company and two of the company's high-ranking executives.

  1. It’s actually only twice the pixel density of a 1080p monitor of the same size.

  2. You’re wrong and here’s why…

    32″ is the diagonal measurement so effectively, 27.89″ × 15.69″
    = 437.6in² 16:9

    1080p = 68.84 PPI
    2160p = 137.68 PPI

    But wait, that’s only double? Wrong, this is the misinterpretation of pixel
    density. If we were strictly talking about a straight line, then yes this would
    be correct. However, because we are using a 2d plane for our viewing pleasure
    it is in reality like this.

    1080p = 4739 PPI²
    2160p = 18956 PPI²

    That’s right, the pixel density is correctly 4x that of 1080p. =D

  3. The styling looks similar to the ROG Swift, nice! 🙂

  5. 2X lineal density
    4X areal density

  6. People misunderstand how crucial it is to calculate the correct pixel density and use the linear form since the numbers are smaller making them easier to pick up on. But, we don’t just view screen in a straight line. Also, they’re not equally the same PPI Vertically as they are Horizontally. They differ slightly, but not by much to write home about.

  7. “Factory pre-calibrated, industry-leading color accuracy with 100% sRGB and Rec. 709 color space support.”

    its NOT UHD-1 Rec. 2020 real color space compliant so why would any consumer care to spend any money here when UHD-1/UHD-2 have their “basic parameter set” is defined by the “ITU BT.2020 standard” 10bit/12bit real colourspace, and not the antiquated Rec. 709 pseudo color space.

    Defining the Future of Television
    Posted by Andrew Cotton on 19 June 2013
    …For those who’re not familiar with UHDTV its basic parameter set is defined by the ITU BT.2020 standard. The standard defines two UHDTV profiles – what’s commonly called UHD-1 at 3840×2160 pixels and UHD-2 at 7680×4320 pixels. The UHD-2 format was used for last year’s joint NHK/BBC public demonstrations of Super Hi-Vision during the London 2012 Olympics…..

    Correct or to put it more simply:

    HD 1920 x 1080p = 2,073,600 pixels displayed

    UHD 3840 x 2160 = 8,294,400 pixels displayed

    UHD is exactly 4 times HD (4 x 2,073,600 = 8,294,400) pixels

  9. Not one of your better reviews guys. There is little mention of the HDMI 2.0 input which is a first on a monitor. Does it support chroma 444 across all inputs at 60hz 4k etc. We need details.
