ASUS is starting the year strong at CES 2026, unveiling a powerhouse lineup of ProArt Display OLED monitors designed specifically for the rigorous demands of creative professionals. From paper-like anti-glare coatings to blistering 240 Hz refresh rates, the new displays aim to bridge the gap between high-end color accuracy and modern productivity.

ProArt Display OLED PA279CDV
The ProArt Display OLED PA279CDV is a 26.5-inch 4K UHD QD-OLED monitor that balances high-end visuals with essential workflow tools. Its standout feature is the LuxPixel technology, which includes an Anti-Glare, Low-Reflection (AGLR) coating. This allows for a more “paper-like” viewing experience, significantly reducing the eyestrain often associated with glossy OLED panels in bright studio environments.
Key Specifications:
- Panel: 26.5-inch 4K UHD QD-OLED
- Color Accuracy: 99% DCI-P3 coverage with Delta E < 2
- Brightness: 1000-nits peak brightness
- Refresh Rate: 120 Hz for smooth graphics rendering
- Connectivity: USB-C (96 W PD), HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 (daisy-chain support)
- Workflow: Built-in Auto KVM for dual-device control
Apple users will particularly appreciate the M Model P3 color setting and DisplayWidget Center for macOS, which allows the monitor to sync perfectly with MacBook brightness controls.
ProArt Display PA32UCDMR-K & PA27UCDMR
For creators who need even more performance, ASUS introduced the PA32UCDMR-K (31.5-inch) and PA27UCDMR (26.5-inch). These 4K UHD QD-OLED monitors push the boundaries further with a 240 Hz refresh rate, making them ideal for high-end video editing and game development.
These models boast even tighter color fidelity with Delta E < 1 and include VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification. Connectivity is also upgraded to dual Thunderbolt 4 ports with 96 W Power Delivery, ensuring a clean and powerful one-cable setup for professional workstations.
ProArt CaliContrO MCA02
A standout of the show is the ProArt CaliContrO MCA02, which won the 2026 CES Innovation Award. This 3-in-1 device combines a colorimeter (capable of measuring up to 10,000 nits), a physical OSD controller, and the ASUS Dial for tactile control over creative software like Adobe Creative Cloud. It comes bundled with the flagship PA32UCDMR-K but will also be sold as a standalone accessory.
