ASRock, a well-known Taiwanese manufacturer of PC components such as motherboards, graphics cards, and mini PCs, has unveiled a new gaming monitor at Computex. This impressive 55-inch display features 8K resolution and HDR 1000 certification, guaranteeing vibrant colors and deep blacks. However, it falls short in terms of refresh rate due to its 8K resolution.
ASRock has also introduced the ASRock
PG32UMF 4K gaming monitor, catering to customers seeking a larger display with
a higher refresh rate. This 31.5-inch IPS panel offers a resolution of 3,840 x
2,160, providing detailed visuals. With a peak brightness of 600 nits and VESA
DisplayHDR 1400 certification, the monitor is capable of reaching an impressive
1,400 nits in certain scenarios, ensuring vibrant and dynamic HDR content. What
sets this monitor apart is its 144Hz refresh rate, which is uncommon to find in
4K resolution displays. This feature makes it ideal for competitive gamers, as
they can enjoy smooth framerates while playing MMO and FPS games at up to 4K
resolution.
ASRock has incorporated Mini-LED
backlights into its latest gaming monitor, enabling it to achieve impressive
levels of brightness. With 1,152 local dimming zones, this technology ensures
exceptional contrast and precise control over backlighting. The monitor’s
Mini-LED backlighting system, combined with VESA DisplayHDR 1400 certification,
delivers stunning visuals with high brightness and deep blacks. ASRock’s
product overview highlights the monitor’s excellent color accuracy, covering
97% of the DCI-P3 color space. The monitor supports both AMD FreeSync Premium
and NVIDIA G-SYNC technologies, reducing screen tearing and ensuring seamless
gameplay. Additionally, ASRock claims a rapid 1 ms MPRT response time.
In terms of connectivity, the PG32UMF
features DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, USB Type-C, and USB Type-A ports. It
includes four USB Type-A ports for convenient peripheral connectivity. ASRock
has confirmed that the USB Type-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and offers
90 W Power Delivery. However, there is no information available about whether
the HDMI 2.1 port is TMDS or FRL capable.
ASRock has yet to disclose pricing and
availability details for the PG32UMF gaming monitor.
