Detailed Review of Asus ProArt PA32QCV: A 32-inch 6K Monitor Offering High Resolution, Vibrant Colors, and Intense Brightness
In the world of professional monitors, ASUS's PA32QCV model stands out with its impressive gamut and gamma accuracy. However, it does have a slight issue with grayscale tracking.
The PA32QCV, a monitor produced by ASUS, has been calibrated meticulously. The Native mode, for instance, boasts an invisible error of 1.30dE and a gamut error of 0.77. Other modes, such as sRGB, Adobe RGB, BT.2020, Display P3, Cinema P3, and BT.709, each have their own unique gamut and gamma errors. The Native mode, however, stands out with the lowest error.
The gamut volume of the PA32QCV, across all modes, is less than 100%. The lowest being 72.72% for BT.2020. This is due to the PA32QCV being a P3 monitor without Quantum Dot technology. Despite this, the inner targets are on point.
Gamma tracking is perfect in every case, using the correct value for each mode. The gamma average deviation for all modes is within 0.91%, except for the Native calibrated mode, which is a commendable 0.45%.
The grayscale and gamma tests for the PA32QCV were conducted using Calman calibration software from Portrait Displays. The average error values in these tests are around 3dE, indicating that the PA32QCV being reviewed might be an early or pre-production sample.
The only noticeable issue in the color charts is a slightly green white point. Fortunately, this can be adjusted away using the OSD. The color charts show precision with average errors under 2dE in all cases, except for BT.2020, which rendered 2.66.
The sRGB mode of the PA32QCV is fixed at 80 nits with all color controls grayed out, as previously mentioned. The PA32QCV's performance in terms of gamut and gamma accuracy is consistent with other ProArt monitors.
In grayscale, the PA32QCV has errors ranging from 1.30dE (Native calibrated mode) to 3.66dE (Display P3 mode). The Native mode of the PA27JCV, another ASUS monitor, also shows an improvement after calibration with an invisible error of 1.30dE.
In conclusion, the ASUS PA32QCV monitor offers excellent gamut and gamma accuracy, making it a suitable choice for professional work. However, its slight grayscale tracking issues should be considered before making a purchase.
