Overview
A design desk shared by a MacBook and a PC is where this ASUS ProArt belongs, with Auto KVM switching one keyboard and mouse between the two machines. Factory calibration and wide cinema gamut coverage give accurate color, and one USB-C cable carries video, data and laptop charging.
Choose it for photo, video and design work where color matters, with a single cable laptop setup and a MacBook matching color mode. The description quotes a lower gamut and refresh than the bullets, so confirm the figures.
Who it's for
Photographers, editors and designers working on a Mac or PC get calibrated color and a tidy desk. Esports players should look at a faster gaming panel.
Pros and cons
- Factory calibrated color
- Wide DCI-P3 coverage
- High wattage USB-C charging

Performance notes
Color accuracy comes from factory calibration checked with Calman, plus a color temperature mode that matches MacBook displays. USB-C carries video, data and laptop power at once, and Auto KVM switches input devices when you change computers.
