ASUS "ProArt Display PA148CTV" is a 14-inch mobile display with a jog dial that surprises creators (page 1/3)
ASUS JAPAN's "ProArt Display PA148CTV" is a 14-inch mobile display that appeals to creators such as photographers, video editors and graphic designers by focusing on color reproducibility. It also features unique gimmicks such as the ability to operate Adobe applications on the connected PC using the dial and touch screen on the back. I borrowed the actual machine, so let me send you a trial report.
"ProArt Display PA148CTV". The body size is about 326.1 (width) x 204.4 (depth) x 13.08 (thickness) mmA rare 14-inch model for mobile displays, focusing on color reproduction
Start with the basics Let's take a quick look at the specs. The screen size is 14 inches, which is slightly smaller than the current mainstream 15.6 inches. The panel is IPS, the screen is matte, the resolution is full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels), and it supports 10-point multi-touch operation.
The viewing angle is 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically, the maximum size is 300 nits, the contrast ratio is 700:1, and the response speed is 5 ms for GTG. The maximum refresh rate is 60Hz, which is not a high refresh rate for gaming.
In addition to covering 100% of sRGB and Rec.709, the focus on color reproducibility, such as obtaining Calman certification, is a major feature compared to competing products. A color difference of ΔE<2 is achieved by carrying out pre-calibration at the time of shipment from the factory.
The body has an integrated kickstand on the back, and it has a structure that becomes completely flat when folded. The vertical angle of the main unit can be adjusted from 30 degrees to 150 degrees, which is quite wide compared to other products. This structure, which allows stable operation of the touch screen, is useful when using the "Virtual Control Panel" described later.
The appearance is no different from a typical mobile display. ProArt logo stands outBack. Adopts a design with an integrated kickstandThe kickstand is in its narrowest state. If you want it to stand on its own, this is the bare minimum.The most open position. Used when performing touch operations with the Virtual Control Panel, which will be described laterEven if the kickstand on the back is folded, there is no step and the design is almost flatKickstand The hinge is so stiff that it's hard to open itIt can be installed vertically as well as horizontallyIf you install it vertically, you can't adjust the angle< /small>There is also a screw hole on the bottom of the main unit for attaching it to a tripod. It's a gimmick that can be seen on other mobile displays from the company, but it's rare to find it on the bottom instead of the back. It is effective when attached to a tripod outdoors, but one unit's load is supported by one screw hole, so overconfidence in strength is prohibited.
The nominal weight of the main unit was about 740g, and the actual weight was 762g. Since the value includes the kickstand, it can be said that it is light enough. For carrying, the weight of the protective sleeve is added to this, but the total does not exceed 1 kg.
The connection method supports both HDMI and USB Type-C, and the package includes an HDMI cable, a USB Type-C cable, a USB Type-A → Type-C cable, a power adapter, and a protective sleeve. ing. A USB Type-C → USB Standard-A conversion adapter, which is a non-standard product, is also included, but it should not be used to prevent damage to the device due to misuse.
