HDR-10 support ensures compatibility with existing streaming video services and a growing list of HDR-enabled games, including hard-clipped, optimised and basic PQ curves. Hybrid log gamma (HLG) support addresses broadcast and satellite TV, including the BBC’s iPlayer and DirecTV.

World’s leading colour performance 

Industry-Leading delta-E (∆E) <1 

True 10-bit colour depth with 1,200 nits of peak brightness provides an entire spectrum of colours to work with for video editing and post-production. Quantum-dot technology supports the cinema-standard DCI-P3 colour gamut, resulting in more realistic colours. It also delivers a wide colour gamut of 99% DCI-P3, 99.5% Adobe RGB, 89% Rec. 2020, 100% sRGB and Rec. 709 for high-end video editing and post-production.

ProArt PA32UCX monitors are pre-calibrated to guarantee industry-leading delta-E (∆E) <1 colour accuracy.
