5K, 6K or 8K: new Asus ProArt monitors

[EugW]

Mine has no imbalance. And to be honest, from watching the video I can't escape the impression that there's some bias involved. I'll take other reviews over this one.

As mentioned before, it’s called panel lottery. Some will suck and some will be excellent. As mentioned before, the ProArts I got (not the 6K) had terrible backlight bleed.

I've been using the ProArt 6K - I'm OK witih the blacks not being OLED-dark and the 60Hz - I'm in it for the clarity and real estate.

IMO - the HiDPI modes are pretty spectacular. I do see Pro/Max chips can natively drive higher resolutions a bit more clearly than your garden M chip (M3 s M3Pro in my case) - but overall, +200PPI is great for a 32" monitor.

Any complaints or hiccups with your Asus 32" 6K display?

With the release of the iPad Pro M5 & MBP M5 I am willing to delay purchase for when the Mac mini M5 is shipped within the next 6 months.

Displays I am using are

- 2012 iMac 27"
- 2016 LG B6 65" 4K TV
- 2018 iPad Pro 11"
- 2019 MBP 16"
- 2024 iPhone 16 Pro Max
- 2024 Watch Series 10 46mm

Mini-LED and 1200 nits peak / 1000 nits sustained too. I wonder how much this one is gonna cost. Also HLG. Is this for broadcast TV video editing or something?

I also wonder what resolution options will be allowed for this one on macOS. 2X scaling would make everything look small.

Perhaps the initial price indication from a few months ago wasn't a joke after all, suggesting that the device would cost around US$ 8,000.

That's the main question here. Non-integer scaling would look awful even with 275 PPI. But I guess that would be 6K HiDPI on macOS.

Non-integer scaling would look awful even with 275 PPI.

That is not true. Some MacBooks ship natively with non-integer scaling and nobody complains about them.

But I do!

For that price point I'd expect an Apple logo on it.

Don't think too loudly, otherwise the Apple logo will blow the 4-digit price tag range
