Asus ProArt: New 8K mini-LED monitor offers over 4,000 dimming zones and up to 1,200 nits

Asus offers a new monitor with an extremely high 8K resolution. The ProArt PA32KCX also features a modern mini-LED backlight and should stand with its high brightness. A colorimeter is built-in as well.

Asus is obviously targeting professional customers with this screen.

Why?! It's not like once the content leaves this jacked-up super ridiculous priced monitor grasps, the end users (consumers) will experience the same details that was supposedly created on this super dud.

But hey, fake the funk in marketing to the unaware, or people that just desires burning holes in their pockets, for so-called professionals anyway, right.

It is so easy... to separate a fool; from its money! 😏

Ludicrous, you'll need 200% scaling at a bare minimum, most people will use 250% so outside opening photos in say Photoshop or working on 8K video, your desktop real estate will be no better than 4K 32". Even 4K 32" needs 125% scaling, and the recommended scaling is 150%.


I would seriously not even get 6K in 32", maybe in 40" but 5K x 2K is sweet spot in the 38" range.

I too feel like 8k for a professional 32" display is overkill. I am sure it is great but I would never need more that 6k in a 32" and even that feels too much, as on a 4k I use 150% scaling, which results in a size of 2560x1440 equivalent, which means that a 5120x1880 would be the sweet spot for me. Sure, scaling the 8K at 300% results in the same 2560x1440 equivalency, but no one is talking about the graphics requirements such a high resolution of 8K is posing on the GPU side.

Everything slows down on a 4k display compared to a native 2560x1440 px one. Imagine using an 8K, the scaling doesn't help, it still is an 8K resolution monster! Lightroom, Photoshop, Davinci, all of them would demand 4 times the GPU power to runs as smooth as a 4k!
