The PA32KCX is an ultra-high-end monitor for creative work.
The monitor is designed for the cutting edge of XR (Extended Reality) and virtual production. It allows creators to work with high-resolution content, including 8K resolution. This is also one of the first 32-inch 8K (7680×4320) monitors featuring DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity standard.

The Mini-LED panel has 4096 backlight zones and supports HDR thanks to its 1000 nits brightness in full-screen mode and up to 1200 nits peak brightness.
