ASUS Japan will begin selling two new ProArt brand monitors on August 28, 2026, at electronics retailers and online stores nationwide. The ProArt Display OLED PA27USD is a 26.5-inch 4K QD-OLED monitor priced at 296,820 yen, featuring a 3,840 x 2,160 resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, and a 0.1ms (GTG) response time. It offers peak brightness of 1,000 cd/m2, a contrast ratio of 1,500,000:1, and covers 99% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB with native 10-bit color and Delta E < 1 accuracy. The monitor includes a motorized flip color meter for self-calibration, a 12G-SDI input for uncompressed 4K@60Hz video from cameras, and support for Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG. Connectivity includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports, DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and a USB hub. The second model, the ProArt Display PA16USV, is a 15.6-inch portable 4K HDR IPS monitor priced at 170,820 yen. It has a 3,840 x 2,160 resolution, 282 PPI, 400 cd/m2 peak brightness, and covers 100% sRGB and 100% Rec.709 with Calman-certified Delta E < 2 accuracy. It also supports 12G-SDI input, offers a mini stand and kickstand, and comes with a reusable packaging box that doubles as a monitor hood.
The 26.5-inch model is the flagship of the pair, aimed at video editing and game development alongside still-image work. Its motorized flip color meter runs self-calibration over time to keep the panel accurate, and one of the two Thunderbolt 4 ports delivers up to 96W Power Delivery to a connected laptop. DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and a built-in USB hub round out the connectivity, and daisy-chaining is supported for multi-display setups.
The portable PA16USV targets on-set crews. Its 12G-SDI input lets directors, DITs, and camera assistants take uncompressed 4K@60Hz video straight from a camera, and the factory calibration gives it Calman-certified Delta E < 2 accuracy for monitoring and color checks. Two setup options, a mini stand and a kickstand, allow flexible placement on location, and the shipping box is reusable as a monitor hood.
Both units use ASUS Smart HDR technology for HDR handling, though the HDR support differs between them. The OLED model covers Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG, while the portable unit supports HDR-10. ASUS positions the line under its ProArt brand, which it describes as "made by creators for creators." Sales of both monitors begin sequentially on Friday, August 28, 2026.
