WEBVTT

00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:07.120
oh that's bright,

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:10.519
1600 nits Peak brightness ladies and

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:12.480
gentlemen when we looked at the pa32 ucx

00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:19.000
from ASUS a little over a year ago we were impressed 4K 60 HZ mini LED

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:21.039
backlight color accurate HDR with 1200

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:25.800
nits Peak brightness it was a force to be reckoned with and it was the answer

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:34.079
to Apple's Pro display xdr but for PC users but then ASUS being ASUS said ASUS

00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:36.079
hold my beer and now we've got this

00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:42.960
their next Generation Pro art display the pa32 ucg or as we've been calling it

00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:44.840
the god king of monitors but what

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:49.640
exactly did they improve and is it worth shelling out thousands of dollars for an

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:54.280
upgrade do Gamers even care about a display this expensive will I ever get

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:59.239
to my sponsor segue today's video is brought to you by NZXT NZXT wants to

00:00:56.879 --> 00:01:03.160
make building a custom PC easier with their build system just set a budget see

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:06.560
how the computer will perform with your favorite games and build takes care of

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:10.240
the rest watch till the end of the video to learn more or click the link down

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:27.079
below for starters the ucg as we'll be calling it has got the world's first

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:30.840
4K 120 HZ mini LED IPS panel it features

00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:33.119
a jaw-dropping peak brightness of 16 00

00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:40.079
nits which is good enough for Vasa hdr400 certification so none of the Foo

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:42.960
HDR 2000 like we saw from Samsung's

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:48.640
Odyssey G9 a few months back it's also got improved IO featuring HDMI 2.1

00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:52.479
support as well as DisplayPort 1.4 with display stream compression now that

00:01:50.399 --> 00:02:00.399
Improvement on Peak brightness and refresh rate is huge it's only 4K rather

00:01:56.600 --> 00:02:02.000
than 6K like the pro display xdr but hey

00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:07.479
at least it comes with a stand am I right need to show the latest edits to

00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:07.479
your boss

00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:16.040
bam God it's heavy but it's easy peasy

00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:20.360
and can a Mac do this oh that's bright

00:02:16.040 --> 00:02:22.040
well yes yes it can but hey now PC

00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:27.000
enthusiasts and professionals can do that too and this is really cool if at

00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:31.000
the end of the day you don't feel like leaving the office quite yet and you

00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:36.879
decide to play some games it is

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:39.400
otherworldly 4K 120 looks and feels

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:43.879
amazing even with the 5 millisecond rated pixel response times that is as

00:02:42.040 --> 00:02:47.920
long as you're not hyper competitive because naturally everything that makes

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:53.040
this thing look beautiful for creatives who need it makes it beautiful in games

00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:56.840
another thing that's missing compared to a real gaming monitor is obviously

00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:02.200
higher refresh rates I mean something like the Odyssey G9 runs at 240 HZ

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:06.680
rather than just 120 HZ that extra little bit of smoothness We have

00:03:04.799 --> 00:03:12.640
basically proven already in separate videos that it does make a

00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:16.640
difference so for competitive Gamers

00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:19.360
yeah this probably ain't it I am really

00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:25.879
really impressed at the pixel response times though considering this is not a

00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:28.280
gaming display it is a full array local

00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:34.840
dimming backlit display so even though they're mini LEDs and you've got

00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:36.360
1,152 zones it is still possible to find

00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:41.080
situations where you're going to get Halos around light objects on dark

00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:44.560
backgrounds the thing is that when playing games or watching movies it's

00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:52.400
pretty hard to notice like anyone see any

00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:55.760
haloing 4K 120 HZ with perfect color

00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:58.760
it's nice really nice but I don't know

00:03:55.760 --> 00:04:02.280
if I need it which takes us to the next

00:03:58.760 --> 00:04:05.560
big question who does well in our first

00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:07.959
review of the pa32 ucx our main

00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:12.959
contenders were editors working in HDR who needed perfectly color accurate

00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:15.959
images and game developers now this time

00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:19.440
around it's similar to the ucx offering

00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:21.840
with support for hdr10 hlg and Dolby

00:04:19.440 --> 00:04:28.360
vision and it delivers highly accurate color across a wide variety of color

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:34.000
spaces we're talking 100% srgb 97% dcip

00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:36.840
3 and 99 99.5% of adobe RGB but with the

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:41.759
ucg having the frame rate improvements and updated connectors well the needle

00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:45.800
starts to sway a bit closer to game development especially now that the

00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:51.520
latest gen consoles and graphics cards have made HDMI 2.1 the new standard that

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:56.600
is a bit of a problem though since to take advantage of this thing you will

00:04:53.680 --> 00:05:03.919
need HDMI 2.1 which you will only find on NVIDIA's 30 series and AMD's 6000

00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:06.240
series gpus sorry folks DisplayPort 1.4

00:05:03.919 --> 00:05:11.880
just isn't going to cut it anymore we were able to get as far as 100 HZ 10bit

00:05:08.840 --> 00:05:13.960
RGB using hbr3 transmission but we

00:05:11.880 --> 00:05:20.440
needed chroma subsampling to reach rates like 120 or 144 Hertz and the visual

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:26.319
anomalies that accompany chroma subsampling well they can be okay for

00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:28.400
playing games but they're not ideal for

00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:33.080
creating them maybe once DisplayPort 2.0 comes out and more than doubles the

00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:39.280
maximum bandwidth of DP it'll end up back on top but for now HDMI 2.1 at 48

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:45.400
GB per second is definitely the way to go if you want 120 HZ 12bit RGB with

00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:50.120
full dynamic range still though the addition of display stream compression

00:05:47.080 --> 00:05:52.680
on DP 1.4 is a bonus over the previous

00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:57.400
ucx model of course to test it then we had to pair it with the only card we

00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:59.080
trust in our editing Den the RTX 390 we

00:05:57.400 --> 00:06:04.120
powered it up and ran our calman color Checker software Ware using the included

00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:06.280
x-rite i1 display Pro a $260 value by

00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:12.160
the way which should at least help justify the cost of this thing right

00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:17.160
then we ran tests to compare against the included Factory calibration report what

00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:21.759
we found was that our display wasn't perfect however its inaccuracies were

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:26.440
almost all below the level that the human eye can even discern with an

00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:30.080
average Delta e of less than two and while ours was a little bit off we're

00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:34.520
confident that with a little bit of calibration this monitor will be an

00:06:31.880 --> 00:06:38.560
extremely accurate part of your workflow and besides professionals should be

00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:43.000
periodically calibrating their displays because they can actually drift out of

00:06:40.280 --> 00:06:46.479
calibration over time and there are some other things that wouldbe owners should

00:06:44.599 --> 00:06:54.000
know remember when everything started getting lighter and cheaper

00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:56.479
well not this guy this is one Hefty 32in

00:06:54.000 --> 00:07:04.360
monitor with a net weight of 14.6 kilos that is just over 32 lb in

00:07:00.960 --> 00:07:05.440
Freedom Units or basically 1 lb per inch

00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:14.759
of screen space and oh my God it is

00:07:09.960 --> 00:07:17.840
soy and it costs a whopping

00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:20.319
$5,000 it also takes up a huge amount of

00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:24.039
desk space thanks to just how thick the housing is because of the cooling

00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:29.120
solution that ASUS built in to reach that impressive sustained 1,000 nits

00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:35.440
brightness a monitor ARM will help alleviate that but this thing ain't no

00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:38.000
uh M1 IM that's for sure the other major

00:07:35.440 --> 00:07:44.720
caveat is that ASUS has another monitor that is mostly either on par or actually

00:07:41.039 --> 00:07:48.479
better than the pa32 ucg for gamers the

00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:51.240
pg32uqx it's hailed as the world's first

00:07:48.479 --> 00:07:58.599
mini LED gaming monitor by some and it is $2,000 less than this one and you get

00:07:54.319 --> 00:08:00.319
4k 144 HZ display HDR 1400 1,400 nit

00:07:58.599 --> 00:08:04.800
Peak brightness and quantum dot technology for True 10bit Color depth

00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:09.800
for anyone who wants to primarily game while maintaining pretty dang good color

00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:13.879
accuracy for a little bit of work that's the better option but for anyone who

00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:19.280
wants that little bit of extra Peak brightness and a much wider array of

00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.879
color spaces while creating HDR content

00:08:19.280 --> 00:08:29.800
you're going to have to stick with the ucg so all hail then the new god king of

00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:31.759
