The Asus ProArt Monitor Calibration Guide aims to assist users in achieving optimal display accuracy for compatible Asus ProArt monitors. This guide is designed to be used with Calman (Ultimate or Studio) Version 5.11.0 or later and supports monitor models such as the PA32UCX and PA27UCX. The calibration process commences by establishing a connection between the Asus monitor and the calibration hardware through Thunderbolt 3 cable, HDMI/DisplayPort with a USB cable. Users are presented with two calibration methods: the Asus ProArt Monitors 3D LUT or the Asus ProArt Monitor Matrix calibration method. Additionally, the guide provides instructions on connecting external meter and external source to the monitor, along with recommendations for adjusting luminance by utilizing the Brightness control on the monitor and measuring the light output. The AutoCal process is then initiated to complete the full calibration, incorporating a greyscale 1D LUT and Color Matrix or a 3D LUT color cube. Subsequent to calibration, users have the option to save the calibration to the monitor, save the Calman session file and open a report, or perform additional post-calibration tests.

Calibration Workflow
The Asus ProArt Monitor Calibration Guide provides a step-by-step workflow for calibrating compatible Asus ProArt monitors using Calman software, starting with the calibration process and concluding with saving the calibration settings and generating a report. The guide outlines the necessary steps to achieve perfect display accuracy. It begins by instructing users to press the ‘Start Calibration’ button to initiate the process. Users are then guided through connecting their Asus monitor and calibration hardware, choosing the appropriate calibration method, and connecting the external meter and source. The guide also provides instructions for adjusting luminance before and after calibration, starting the AutoCal process, and taking post-calibration readings. Finally, users are given the option to save the calibration configuration, generate a report, or perform additional post-calibration tests. This comprehensive guide ensures that users can achieve optimal display performance for their Asus ProArt monitors.
Supported Models
Supported models for the Asus ProArt monitor calibration process include the PA32UCX and PA27UCX. These models are compatible with Calman (Ultimate or Studio) Version 5.11.0 or later. The calibration workflow begins by connecting the monitor and calibration hardware using a Thunderbolt 3 cable for video connection, or HDMI/DisplayPort with a USB cable. Users can choose between two calibration methods: Asus ProArt Monitors 3D LUT or Asus ProArt Monitor Matrix. The next step involves connecting an external meter by selecting the meter from the list or searching for it. Users also need to connect the external source by selecting the Asus ProArt Monitors and clicking ‘Connect’. Luminance adjustment is done using the monitor’s Brightness control, and recommended levels for different viewing environments are provided. The calibration process is completed by running the AutoCal process for greyscale and color gamut. Finally, post-calibration readings can be taken, and the calibration can be saved and reported.
Starting Calibration
To initiate the calibration process, users can press the ‘Start Calibration’ button, signaling the commencement of the calibration workflow in Calman 2020. This step is crucial as it sets the foundation for achieving perfect display accuracy on Asus ProArt monitors. By starting the calibration, users can proceed to the next steps, which involve connecting the Asus monitor to the calibration hardware using the appropriate cables such as Thunderbolt 3, HDMI, or DisplayPort with a USB cable. Additionally, users can choose between two calibration methods: Asus ProArt Monitors 3D LUT or Asus ProArt Monitor Matrix. The calibration process also requires the connection of an external meter for accurate color measurements, and the selection of the appropriate meter mode. Overall, starting the calibration is the first essential step towards attaining optimal color accuracy and display performance on Asus ProArt monitors.
Connecting Hardware
Connecting the appropriate cables and hardware is necessary to establish a connection between the Asus ProArt monitor and the calibration equipment. To begin, users can use a Thunderbolt 3 cable for the video connection or an HDMI/DisplayPort with a USB cable. This connection will allow for the transmission of video signals from the calibration software to the monitor. Additionally, users will need to connect an external meter to accurately measure and adjust the monitor’s color and brightness levels. By pressing the "External Meter Connect" button, users can select their meter from a list or search for it. It is important to choose the appropriate meter mode for either a colorimeter or a spectrophotometer. With these connections in place, users can proceed to the next steps in the calibration process, ensuring accuracy and optimal display performance.
