Does the average consumer need a 6K monitor? No, not at all. To be honest, most don’t even need 4K. Heck, many people are fine with a good ol’ 1080p display! However, some creative folks can truly benefit from a higher resolution monitor. And so, a new offering from ASUS should be of interest to them.
You see, that company has announced the ProArt Display 6K PA32QCV, a new 32-inch professional monitor with a 6016×3384 resolution. It’s aimed squarely at photographers, video editors, and other creatives who rely on accurate colors and sharp details.
The display offers 218 pixels per inch, giving you more than triple the pixel density of a typical Full HD 32-inch monitor. That translates to crisp text, fine detail, and lots of usable screen real estate. ASUS says it gives you 145 percent more workspace than a 4K display of the same size, which is a huge advantage when working with large timelines or high-resolution imagery.
Color accuracy is another big focus here. Each unit is factory-calibrated and Calman Verified to deliver Delta E under 2, which helps ensure the colors you see on screen actually match your output. The panel supports 98 percent of the DCI-P3 color space and 100 percent of sRGB. You also get true 10-bit color support, meaning over a billion possible colors can be displayed. That’s great news for anyone who needs smooth gradients and precise shades.
The ProArt Display 6K PA32QCV is also clearly built with Mac users in mind. It includes a new M Model-P3 color preset to align with Apple’s color profiles, and ASUS DisplayWidget Center is now available for macOS, giving you software-based control over brightness, contrast, and color temperature. It even supports MacBook brightness keys for quick adjustments, which is a small but welcome touch.
There’s a good mix of ports too. You get two Thunderbolt 4 connectors with 96-watt power delivery, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, USB Type-A and Type-C ports, and a headphone jack. That makes it easy to connect to a wide range of devices, whether you’re on a MacBook, a Windows machine, or something else entirely.
Another feature worth calling out is the built-in Auto KVM switch. If you’ve got two systems connected, you can switch between them using the same keyboard and mouse, which is great for people who juggle multiple machines.
ASUS also added some clever tech like LuxPixel, an anti-glare and low-reflection coating that keeps things sharp while cutting down on screen glare. There are also sensors that automatically adjust brightness and color temperature based on ambient lighting, which helps maintain consistency throughout the day.
Physically, the monitor is highly adjustable. It tilts, swivels, pivots, and adjusts in height. You can also mount it using VESA if you want to free up desk space. There are even built-in stereo speakers, although they’re probably best reserved for casual use.
As a bonus, ASUS is offering a free subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud with the purchase of eligible products, including the PA32QCV, in certain regions. Depending on your setup, that offer alone could save you a few hundred bucks.
Overall, this monitor looks like a really solid option for creators who need extreme clarity, precise colors, and plenty of ports. It’s especially appealing if you’re a Mac user who doesn’t want to pay Apple Studio Display prices! Look, ASUS has really thought through the details here, and it shows.
This 6K display is set to arrive in late August with a price tag of $1,299.
