ASUS PA16USV Overview

Designed for DITs, video directors, and camera operators, the ASUS ProArt 15.6" 4K HDR Portable Monitor delivers highly accurate colors that bring out the finest details in your creations. Factory calibrated for Delta E <2 accuracy, this Calman Verified UHD 4K 3840 x 2160 resolution display covers 100% of the sRGB and Rec. 709 gamuts, supporting 16.7 million colors with HDR10, a 1200:1 contrast ratio, 5 ms GtG response time, and 400 nits brightness.

With 12G-SDI connectivity, you can transmit uncompressed 4K, 60 Hz footage directly from a camera with exceptionally low latency.

The USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port supports up to 5 Gb/s data transfers with compatible peripherals. Plug a pair of headphones into the 3.5mm jack for listening privacy.

Empowering Content Creators
Digital Imaging Technician (DIT)
DITs need a high-quality SDI monitor for on-set quick color grading and managing production workflow. It can provide accurate color reproduction and details from camera and present to director/customers.
Director Monitoring
Directors need an accurate monitor for on-set review and decision-making. The ProArt Display is designed to provide precise color reproduction, allowing directors to see what the camera captures and make informed decisions on lighting and framing.
Focus Puller / Camera Assistant
Focus pullers require excellent resolution and color accuracy. This SDI monitor provides clear images for precise focus adjustments during shooting, ensuring sharpness and clarity in dynamic scenes.
4K HDR Imagery On-Set
Uncompressed 4K Video
A 23.6" panel with a 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution delivers four times the pixel density and three times more onscreen space than similarly sized Full HD displays, resulting in sharper visuals with greater levels of detail.
Lifelike Views with Wide Viewing Angles
A frameless IPS panel provides 170° viewing angles both horizontally and vertically, so you can enjoy its beautiful visuals from almost any direction.
High Dynamic Range
The ProArt Display PA16USV features up to 400 nits of brightness and HDR10 for brighter whites and darker blacks for a rich viewing experience.
Multiple PQ Curves
ASUS ProArt Displays support multiple HDR10 curves, including PQ Hard Clip, PQ Optimized, and PQ Basic, which can cover all content creation needs.

PQ Hard Clip
This setting preserves the PQ curve until it displays maximum luminance. Anything brighter will be mapped to the maximum luminance of the display.

PQ Optimized
This PQ curve setting reproduces accurate gradations that correspond to the maximum brightness of the monitor to deliver optimized HDR performance.

PQ Basic
Present general HDR performance.
Streamlined, Efficient Workflows
12G-SDI Connectivity
SDI (Serial Digital Interface) is a professional video signal that's preferred in production environments, providing longer distance without video compression with reliability. The BNC-type cable has specialized connectors on each end to lock into the devices they connect to, so it cannot be easily dropped or pulled out.

Compared with general 3G-SDI, 12G-SDI provides up to 4x the bandwidth and allows both receiving and transmitting uncompressed video up to 4K/60 Hz video footage directly from camera devices with ultra-low latency.

Connect to Your Workflow
A USB-C port enables fast data transfers and video signals while powering the display with compatible devices using a single cable. There is also one HDMI 2.0 port for compatibility with current and future displays and peripherals, plus one USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 data port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Flexible Mounting
The portable ProArt Display fits into a variety of workspaces with its built-in kickstand, included mini stand, and 75 x 75 mm VESA pattern.
Diverse Viewing Options
Picture-by-Picture (PbP)
View two to four different settings simultaneously by placing multiple input sources onscreen side-by-side; and configure each individual window's color settings with sRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI-P3, Rec. 2020, User Mode 1, or User Mode 2.

Picture-in-Picture (PiP)
Easily place your second input source in a window in one corner of the display.
Caring for Your Eyes
ASUS Flicker-Free Technology
It's time to say goodbye to those tired, strained eyes. ProArt Displays feature TUV Rheinland-certified ASUS Flicker-Free technology to reduce flicker and minimize instances of eyestrain and other damaging ailments for a comfortable viewing experience.

Blue Light Filter
The TUV Rheinland-certified ASUS Blue Light Filter protects you from harmful blue light and you can easily access this via a hotkey. ProArt displays have undergone stringent performance tests and have been certified by TUV Rheinland laboratories to be flicker-free and to emit low blue light levels.
Ergonomic Design
A comfortable viewing position is always easy to achieve with ASUS ProArt Display. An ergonomically designed quick release stand with -3 to 21° tilt, ±30° swivel, ±90° pivot, and 5.1" height adjustments provides comfortable viewing and usage experiences. Furthermore, it is 100 x 100mm VESA wall mountable to save on desktop space.
Accurate Real-Time On-Set Preview
QuickFit Plus is a clever feature that overlays a grid on the screen and allows you to better align and preview. Center Marker and Safety Area can provide a real-time preview when you are on set shooting to help avoid video that falls outside of the screen area. Ruler provides the actual size of an inch ruler on the edge, but you can customize the working size to fit your preference.

ASUS PA16USV Reviews

12G SDI

By Fareed
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2025-12-11

The ASUS PA16USV has a 12G SDI input, and it does work with 3G SDI 1080p60 input. The manual does say the format is supported (page 3-15). I have testied with an ATEM MINI Pro SDI unit, which is sending a 3G SDI 1080p60 signal (level B) and it does not work. Not enough testing was done by ASUS for SDI.

Great $350 monitor, Awful for a $1000 monitor

I purchased this with high hopes. The ProArt line is highly regarded and the advertised factory calibration made me think this is the monitor to get. First impressions out of the box is that it feels cheap, like super cheap. The bezel and frankly the entire monitor had enough flex in it to give me pause and make me think it wouldn't hold up to more than a few days on set. The image was fine head on, but the viewing angle is abysmal. Anything other than directly head on and the image falls apart. It also doesn't play nice with MacOS in HDR mode. Skip it unless they bring the price down by 60%
