As excitement builds for CES 2025, which starts on January 7, Asus has unveiled a refreshed lineup of monitors, including a new ROG Strix gaming monitor, three high-resolution ProArt displays for creatives, and updated ZenScreen monitors. These latest releases showcase cutting-edge features tailored to gamers, content creators, and professionals.
ROG Strix XG32UCG: A gamer’s delight
At the heart of this announcement is the ROG Strix XG32UCG, a 31.5-inch IPS gaming monitor offering a unique dual-mode feature. With the press of a hotkey, you can switch between a stunning 4K resolution at 160Hz or Full HD (FHD) at a blistering 320Hz. This flexibility makes it ideal for immersive gaming experiences, allowing you to enjoy sharp 4K visuals for AAA titles or fast-paced FHD action for first-person shooters.
The XG32UCG also supports FreeSync Premium for AMD graphics cards and G-Sync for Nvidia, ensuring smooth visuals without screen tearing. Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and a USB-C port with 15W Power Delivery. Gamers seeking high performance and versatility will find this monitor a compelling choice.
ProArt monitors for creators
For creative professionals, Asus has introduced its flagship ProArt Display PA32QCV, a 32-inch 6K monitor with a resolution of 6016×3384 and a pixel density of 216 PPI. Designed for top-tier colour accuracy, it offers 98% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB coverage, is Calman verified, and has been pre-calibrated to achieve Delta E<2. The display also features Asus’s LuxPixel technology, which provides an anti-glare and low-reflection coating without sacrificing image quality.
Connectivity is a standout feature of the PA32QCV, with two Thunderbolt 4 ports offering 96W Power Delivery and daisy-chain support. It also includes DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, a USB hub, and Auto KVM functionality, allowing seamless switching between two devices with a single keyboard and mouse. Its stand supports tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments for ergonomic flexibility.
If 6K feels excessive, Asus also announced two 4K monitors: the 32-inch ProArt Display PA32UCE and the 27-inch PA27UCGE. These monitors boast 600-nit brightness, 98% DCI-P3 gamut coverage, and Delta E<1 colour accuracy. They support HDR10 and HLG formats, with the PA27UCGE offering a 160Hz refresh rate for smoother visuals. Both models include a built-in flip colourimeter for auto-calibration, LuxPixel technology, and versatile connectivity options such as DisplayPort over USB-C with 96W Power Delivery.
ZenScreen monitors for professionals on the go
Asus has also expanded its portable ZenScreen lineup with three new models. The MS32UC, a 32-inch UHD display, offers 98% DCI-P3 coverage and HDR10 support. The MB27ACF, a 27-inch QHD monitor, features a sleek 5.4mm profile, weighs under 3kg, and boasts a 100Hz refresh rate. Finally, the MB169CK is a 15.6-inch FHD portable monitor with a detachable 360° kickstand, wall-mount compatibility, two USB-C ports, mini-HDMI, and a headphone jack.
