ASUS ProArt Showcase (Monitors and Motherboards)

[@64BBernard]

I have a Proart 27 inch monitor for photo editing and for softproofing images in Adobe Lightroom before sending them to a professional photo printing service. The colours on the monitor are what I see in my prints due to the colour calibration. There are no colour shifts compared to other monitors.

[@KitGuruTech]

The pro art panels are very high grade. Glad to hear you have had good experiences.

[@johnerikson2443]

I’d love to see a Kitguru review of the oled screen. Looks amazing. Our studio is keen on upgrading.

[@buyingastairwaytoheaven5252]

Those pro art screens look great. My wife will kill me as I just bought one 🥹

[@geofftatesmate7748]

I’d love a high end oled and have been saving for one for a year now. Hard to know which one to buy and some of the websites that review them don’t really do much ‘real world’ testing. It’s just all figures and charts which means absolutely nothing to me.

[@jeffsmith6659]

Thank you so much for this tour. Very interesting and well delivered. Thanks again for all you do!

[@lucifersheadscarf6988]

those monitors are amazing. always loved the proart stuff, the colours are beautiful out of the box usually. I wish more companies would calibrate the screens before they shipped them. really makes a difference

[@rufusmctavish1164]

Its a good point, but its not really needed on a lot of lower end monitors with kids playing games. I do wish it was adopted on all higher end screens over £800 though

[@geofftatesmate7748]

that thumbnail is class - it certainly gives a good indication of just how big that super ultra mega wide monitor is

[@stickyfingers9710]

Great video Leo. Finally got watching the monitor part. That oled panel looks amazing. Shame you have to give it back you certainly seemed to love it.

[@iamahappybunny7640]

Great showcase. And love the channel too ! Subbed !❤

[@oglimmm2454]

That 32 inch monitor is just gorgeous. Amazing picture.

[@ravenfeeder1892]

I seem to recall that the ProArt line was the only AM4 motherboard with Thunderbolt ports.

[@powermaster5004]

Good showcase. I do like that oled panel. Would like to see Leo get a long term hands on with it.

[@overclockingdemon7179]

nicely done Leo, good to see ASUS goodies here, missed your video of them at CES - been looking for a new board

[@KitGuruTech]

We didn't see Asus at CES - it was a mad rush and we simply did not have time Leo

[@hairsprungdutchtechnique9626]

@Matthew Walsh hang on, didnt you say in the other posted thread that _'Comments about not visiting ASUS at CES due to no time, was because UK didn't sponsor media . ' _- Are you calling Leo a liar now? 😵‍💫

[@overclockingdemon7179]

@@hairsprungdutchtechnique9626 wow I thought you were joking, but I just saw that. I dont think ive ever seen a company Rep shout at media who just published a showcase on their own products! I am out - just came to thank Leo for his great videos, always enjoy them..

[@overclockingdemon7179]

‘Buying positive reviews are legal’. 😮 wow.

[@therealbdbeatz]

Thank you for all of the information. I did not know about the extended warranty either. Just checking their website it does not include the US in the warranty extension (which is insane and unfortunate really) not sure why that is. After reading dozens of x670e ProArt retail customer reviews the motherboard seems to have some consistent issues still I guess???

[@angelbigfuik3625]

So while I’m all on board for the multiple M.2 slots have to say still like a physical hard drive for archival or media library.

[@harleylover9446]

That OLED screen, even being filmed on Leo's camera looks epic. I never was too into the super wide stuff myself,. always hurts my neck craning from side to side to see whats going on! and yes before someone slates me, I appreciate the human eye has a lot of peripheral vision as well, you dont 'focus' on, but it never works the same with a screen

[@boltsandbraces6261]

you ever tried one? how close to the screen do you sit?

[@powermaster5004]

I get his point however a lot of games for instance. It’s periphery vision. Like in a car. You focus on the zone In front without looking at sides all that time.

[@KitGuruTech]

I didn't labour the point in the video but for me one of the strengths of the 3.1-inch OLED versus a 50-inch TV is that you can sit close to the display without it feeling ridiculous Leo

[@bambinone]

I'm debating the ProArt Z690/Z670 vs the Pro WS W680-ACE for our next workstation. The ProArt seems to give you Thunderbolt 4 and WiFi 6E, whereas those would be aftermarket add-ons for the W680 (which has slots for both). The W680 also trades four SATA ports and an M.2 slot for a SlimSAS port that can take a SATA breakout or U.2 cable, and it trades the FastLinQ 10GbE NIC for an extra x1 slot and second Intel 2.5GbE NIC. My issue with FastLinQ is that it doesn't support VLANs in Windows and it doesn't support SR-IOV, so I usually end up adding a separate 10GbE NIC anyway. On the other hand, the recent news about the I226-V controller doesn't inspire much confidence. The W680 seems to be held up and I wonder if they're trying to address that issue before releasing it to retail channels.

[@amdforlife5591]

nice range of motherboards - never really paid much attention to the proart boards - dont think ive ever seen Leo or Luke review one of the new ones - that ProArt Z790-Creator WiFi looks pretty darn tasty

[@overclockingdemon7179]

Why are you in here raking about warranty at random ?

[@stickyfingers9710]

Don’t talk about Asus warranty. My mate still hasn’t got his gpu replaced. Nightmare

[@hairsprungdutchtechnique9626]

This dude Matthew Walsh is just spamming here claiming he is an Asus rep. I can’t see Asus having this guy represent them. He can barely type and seems to be promoting the fact that Asus like to pay for reviews. Funny if it’s true 🤣

[@amdforlife5591]

Sounds like you are in the wrong job tbh

[@boltsandbraces6261]

I like that widescreen panel would be awesome for a bit of FPS

[@Jdksksoowllelpaojaei]

Calibration tool included very cool.

[@LordDoroski]

So a proart motherboard means you get some fancy stencilling on the board?

[@canarychrome7012]

Great video leo, some tasty products too - thanks!

[@inlovewithmycar7085]

would like to see a few reviews of those boards

[@pronstorestiffi]

The design on those motherboards would go nicely with a blacked out case and some beige Noctua fans.

[@irakandjii2496]

I was under the impression that pro art mother boards allocated pcie lanes with a bias that favours SSD’s so you get more of them?

[@KitGuruTech]

The ProArt Z790 supports 4x M.2 and 8x SATA SSD however the 4th M.2 shares bandwidth with two of the SATA which looks fairly conventional Leo

[@KnightRider-lq5yb]

very cool looking boards, i like the understated look

[@aila387]

So are these pre calibrated from the factory and what are they calibrated to?

[@FancyaBevMate]

Just installed a new motherboard chip ram and a 2TB M.2 drive yesterday (auros 690 elite, 12600,32gb and western digital) the latter was £130....which retailed for around £16,000!!! around 13 years ago...where did I leave my time machine;) Cheers

[@rufusmctavish1164]

Wow that’s crazy

[@treyquattro]

I tend to favor MSI boards these days but I've been looking at the AM5 ASUS ProArt as a likely next system board (although if MSI produce an AM5 Unify I'd likely go with that)

[@SHXDXWw]

Mini-LED or OLED?

[@markotto1767]

pro art gaming monitor 4k 144hz ? Is there a model ? i prefer image quality and gaming monitors are always worse. Why ?!

[@omerqw]

How many lighting zones does the PA32UCR have?

[@KitGuruTech]

576

[@Mirhanmama570]

Can we get a review of that 25 grand Sony?

[@iamahappybunny7640]

@Matthew Walsh what on earth are you talking about? house of dragons? eh?

[@tomquimby8669]

so where are the 25110 m.2 sockets?

[@KitGuruTech]

The Z790 motherboard supports 110 m.2 however the X670E does not. Do you have any 110mm SSDs? personally I have a stack of 80mm SSDs and a few 42mm but have never owned a 110mm Leo

[@tomquimby8669]

@@KitGuruTech Gigabyte are supplying B650 motherboards with the future standard M.2 25110 socket and spacing for the new (elusive) gen 5 standard M.2 SSDs. I have no interest in upgrading to Zen 4 without actual Gen 5 SSDs to populate them. My comment is aimed at Asus and the others ignoring the future standard by sticking with 22mm

[@historianfabulousio5128]

Yeah I noticed Asus don’t support em but gigabyte does. Weird.

[@BENIMARU__0]

What’s the durability of their OLED panel?

[@KitGuruTech]

Well they give a five year warranty so it is safe to say 'at least five years'

[@luisdorr8672]

Are you going to test the nzxt h9 series? I really enjoy your reviews.

[@KitGuruTech]

I have a sample of the H9 sat here so yup, at some point soonish Leo

[@Nails6736]

I just received my ProArt z790 creator MB .Had a little trouble registering it. But , warranty is only 3 years, not 5 years. The woman I spoke to assured me that it was only 3 years.

@@KitGuruTech United States.

[@therealbdbeatz]

@paulbeerman6736 Yeah you are correct, I was just looking that up as well. Crazy right? Especially with how much Asus coverage and product placement being advertised here in the US make you wonder why its not included among the other major markets.

[@fairycat]

that looks beautifull

[@brawlstarsyt4228]

Wish they would use simpler naming scheme on these displays. Its impossible to remember and easy to make a mistake when ordering.

[@KitGuruTech]

When you have a moment, try saying them out loud with a camera in your face. It's great fun. Leo

[@roastgaming1904]

OLED screen is wonderful as per usual but not sure about tht price premium.

[@DrBreezeAir]

By far the best product design in the PC component industry.

[@overclockingdemon7179]

What is ?

[@Kingvoakahustla]

Wonderful review by

[@QuentinStephens]

Those are gorgeous pieces of kit.

[@mattanitiktok8259]

Like what Asus are doing here as Apple have always put an emphasis on display quality from their DTP roots. It’s been a while since the PC industry has had a go at display quality.

[@Kingvoakahustla]

Yep Asus have it all best PC components. ROG best high end for gamer TUF for mainstream and proart for creators

[@haremofprocessors6954]

I would agree, that OLED screen steals the show - can't see ASUS beating SONY in the high end game - and id love to see a side by side with the ASUS screen against the SONY, fairly sure it would fall short for the pro end market considering the price differences - was funny when leo said 'they didn't send me that 25k screen'. yeah, they wont!

[@buyingastairwaytoheaven5252]

SONY dominate the high end market, but ASUS might do quite well for a company who needs a 'fairly well calibrated screen' rather than a full on production house requiring everything to be 100%

[@rufusmctavish1164]

Why would we ‘refer to hdtv review’? I come here for Leo.

[@overclockingdemon7179]

I’d like to see some kg reviews. Leo seems to love that oled !

[@rufusmctavish1164]

I’d like to see Leo review those high end pro art boards. But I guess this is a sponsored showcase so hard to know if they are any good or not. Will you be reviewing them Leo ?

[@stevewatson6839]

You do realise you might be in for a box inundation from all the other brands?🤣🤣🤣 Good to see these in the flesh. To the numptie who thinks this is a free Asus ad; I was more taken by the MSI board Luke was reviewing in the footage incidently being shown on the wide-aspect monitor. I'll be going looking for that when I'm done here! Sneaky ads for content I've missed I don't mind at all.😁

[@KitGuruTech]

I thought I had carefully selected the on-screen videos to avoid exactly that type of clash and only realised my mistake today. D'Oh! Leo

[@BRANDALCNL14]

Ooooo that pro art stuff looks very desirable.

[@whocares0503]

Asus makes awesome looking stuff. However, there customer support is horrible most of the time. EVGA things are NOT perfect, but their customer support the best bar none. Given the size of Asus what they so is unacceptable in world. I love your reviews Leo and I try to watch each and every one! I have even bought cases on your recommendations!

[@KitGuruTech]

Great you like our content whocares0503 - appreciate you taking the time to post!. Sorry to hear you have had bad experiences with asus customer support. We have seen this quite a lot in our comments over the last year.

[@oyuncenneti9735]

Very annoying to see hdmi 2.0 port, really should be 2.1 just because it’s a high end expensive monitor.

[@Bloom124-u3g]

The cost of these motherboards seems excessive.

[@casablanca7435]

Luke looks almost human on that monitor.

[@KitGuruTech]

I appear on screen alongside Luke very rarely because he steals the show every time. Leo

[@eaglefutbol6301]

Compared to the Sony, Asus’ version is probably a bargain.

[@stevewatson6839]

That £25,000 Sony looks F-ugly and something you might have seen from bottom-of-the-barrel monitor vendors 15 years ago. Anything created by a person with one of those is likely to be equally crap looking because they have zero aesthetic taste. £25,000 for something that could compete with the backend of a bus and lose. A full review of the ProArt Display OLED PA32DC please; I'm rather struck by it!
