the link in the video description here's the problem with HDR displays right now
most of them are basically not actually HDR the prevailing opinion
out there is that you need to achieve a peak brightness of about a thousand nits
to really call something high dynamic range and of course nice deep blacks to
go with them because a lot of it is about contrast well
all of that changes not today but at some point in the
future with the pro art
pa-32ux this is the first
display well when it comes out that uses mini
led backlighting so they've got a cutaway demo over here showing that
they've actually got these little tiny
blue leds coming through a quantum dot film on an ips display to help this
monitor achieve HDR 10 compliance hlg compliance so
that's uh what the bbc uses and they are apparently working on dolby as well with
a shocking 1400 nits of peak brightness
and a minimum luminance of 0.003
to .001 nits
that is an effective contrast ratio
about 300 times what you would normally
expect and it all comes down to the over 1
000 zones of local dimming now to put
that in perspective a really nice full array backlight might have about
380 zones of local dimming up until now
now the i o is all covered up here but uh we can use the menu to see what it's
got so it's got four hdmis displayport
and Thunderbolt 3 which is a nice thing to have for mac users and it's going to
be running at 3840 by 2160
hertz with 95 coverage of the dci p3
color space this thing looks absolutely
stunning and they're targeting content creators and animators with no eta for
pricing or availability really to speak of i guess they learned their lesson
from the 4k 144 hertz gaming monitor which was delayed for like a year after
they said it was going to be coming man that looks good
most HDR experiences that i've had have been kinda cool
this one looks fantastic also in ASUS
monitor land we've got the cg32 which they're billing as a console gaming
monitor 4k 60 hertz i think
it's got adaptive sync with freesync which is actually relevant by the way
two console players now and i guess it's got these little pads to put your uh
controller on they've also got a super ultra wide monitor so this is pretty
similar to uh samsung's model so it's 3840 by 1080
it's 49 inches and uh runs at 144 hertz
and then i actually thought this one was a little bit more interesting than those
so these portable monitors are getting more and more popular all the time they
run off of a single usb type-c connection so that's displayport and
power and now they've got a 1080p model
that has built-in touch functionality so
you can fire up your laptop run a single cable over to your monitor and you've
got a full second touch screen that you can just kind of fold up whoop
i haven't actually practiced this demo but you know there
you go that you can fold up and take with you on the go
there we go a couple other notable features here are the 45 coverage of the
ntsc color space and the fact that it has a built-in battery bank so at 7 800
milliamp hours meaning that it doesn't have to be a drain on your laptop's
battery if you don't want it to be and you've got it charged ahead of time so
