Asus is showcasing its new ProArt PA27UCDV creative monitor at IBC 2026 in Amsterdam. The 26.5‑inch display features a 4K QD‑OLED panel running at up to 120Hz, aimed at colour‑critical workloads.
According to Prad, the monitor offers a 3840×2160 resolution on a 16:9 panel. As for the panel itself, Asus uses its LuxPixel anti‑glare coating, which is the company’s branding for its reduced‑reflection surface. The PA27UCDV covers 99% of the DCI‑P3 colour space, reaches up to 1000nits peak brightness, and is rated for Delta‑E <1 colour accuracy. HDR support is included, and an Auto KVM switch is built in for multi‑device workflows.
Connectivity includes HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, a built‑in USB hub, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports. One Thunderbolt 4 port delivers up to 140W Power Delivery, while the second supports daisy‑chaining for multi‑monitor setups. Like most other ProArt displays, the PA27UCDV retains a slim, minimalist aesthetic.
Asus has not yet confirmed pricing or availability for the ProArt PA27UCDV.
KitGuru Says: With a 120Hz panel, this ProArt monitor could also double up as a nice gaming display too.
Asus has announced the LC 360 ARGB and LC 240 ARGB, two new all‑in‑one liquid CPU coolers released under the plain ASUS branding rather than the usual ROG, TUF Gaming or ProArt lines. The LC series is the simple, no‑frills option, although it still comes with daisy-chain fans and ARGB lighting.
One notable inclusion is the daisy‑chain fan system. Although these coolers sit outside Asus’s higher‑end sub‑brands, the fans link together to pass PWM and ARGB signals through a single cable, a feature more commonly seen on premium AIOs. This setup helps reduce cable clutter and makes installation cleaner, particularly in compact cases. The pump block also includes lighting on the top and sides, and the top cover can be swapped out for a custom one if you prefer.
Each fan operates between 800RPM and 1800RPM, delivering up to 74CFM of airflow and 2.2mmH2O of static pressure, which is relatively strong for this speed range. Both the 240mm and 360mm versions use the same 27mm radiator design, and Asus backs both coolers with a 5‑year warranty.
Overall, the LC series appears to offer a straightforward alternative for builders, while still retaining a few convenience and aesthetic features typically found on more expensive coolers. However, Asus has not confirmed pricing yet, so we don't know how budget-friendly these AIOs will ultimately be.
KitGuru Says: Are you considering going with an Asus AIO for your next PC build?

An owner of the 2024 ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop residing in Morocco is experiencing one of the worst customer service experiences, as forking over a whopping 25,000 MAD (approximately $2,677) for the premium machine doesn’t provide him with any consumer protection. He says that the display requires a replacement, but the $1,381 quoted by an ASUS authorized repair center is more than half the amount paid for the entire machine, making it quite unfair treatment. Sadly, finding a replacement for this particular Zephyrus G14 has been difficult, as third-party sellers now bundle the top assembly and price it […]
ASUS is giving creators a new reason to look at compact laptops with the ASUS ProArt P14, a 14-inch machine powered by NVIDIA’s RTX Spark platform. The laptop combines a powerful Arm-based CPU and Blackwell GPU with a high-quality OLED display, up to 128GB of unified memory, and a slim 1.48kg design.
The ASUS ProArt P14 is aimed at people working with video editing, 3D projects, AI tools, photography, and other demanding creative workloads. ASUS officially lists the laptop as the H7407BA and pairs it with NVIDIA’s RTX Spark Superchip.
ASUS ProArt P14 Uses NVIDIA RTX Spark
The biggest feature of the ProArt P14 is its NVIDIA RTX Spark Superchip. The platform combines a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU with a Blackwell RTX GPU, giving the laptop a very different hardware setup from most traditional creator notebooks.
NVIDIA says RTX Spark can deliver up to 1 petaflop of FP4 AI performance, while the platform can include up to 6,144 CUDA cores and 128GB of unified memory. This makes it particularly interesting for creators who want to run demanding AI and creative workloads locally.
ASUS also positions the ProArt P14 as a machine for AI-powered creative work, including video editing, 3D rendering, and local AI applications.
3K OLED Display Made for Creators
Display quality is another major part of the ASUS ProArt P14. The laptop features a 14-inch 2880 × 1800 OLED touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate.
Depending on the configuration, ASUS lists up to 700 nits SDR brightness and 1,600 nits HDR peak brightness. Another display option offers 500 nits SDR and 1,100 nits HDR brightness.
Both options cover 100% of the DCI-P3 color space and support stylus input. That should make the P14 a useful option for photographers, video editors, designers, and other users who care about accurate colors.
ASUS also highlights its Lumina Pro OLED technology, with Delta E below 1 color accuracy and support for 120Hz variable refresh rate on the newer configuration.
Up to 128GB of Unified Memory
Memory is one area where the ProArt P14 stands out. ASUS offers configurations reaching 128GB of LPDDR5X unified memory, although the exact memory options can vary by market.
The unified memory architecture is especially useful for AI workloads because the CPU and GPU can access the same large memory pool. ASUS says the system is designed to handle demanding tasks such as large 3D scenes, high-resolution video editing, and AI workloads.
Storage is handled by a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, with ASUS currently listing configurations with up to 1TB of storage.
Slim Design With Plenty of Connectivity
Despite the hardware inside, the ASUS ProArt P14 remains highly portable. The chassis is just 13.9mm thick and weighs around 1.48kg.
ASUS offers the laptop in Nano Black and, in some markets, Neo White. The design is clearly aimed at users who want workstation-style capabilities without carrying a heavy laptop.
For connectivity, the P14 includes three USB4 Type-C ports with display output and power delivery support. It also has a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, HDMI 2.1, a 3.5mm audio jack, and an SD 4.0 card reader.
That SD card slot is particularly useful for photographers and video creators who regularly move files from cameras.
90Wh Battery and 140W USB-C Charging
The laptop also packs a 90Wh battery and uses a 140W USB-C charger. ASUS promotes the RTX Spark platform around power efficiency and all-day battery use, although real-world battery life will depend heavily on the workload and configuration.
That matters because a thin creator laptop is only useful on the move if it can balance performance with battery life. RTX Spark’s Arm-based design is intended to help with that balance.
ASUS ProArt P14 Looks Like a Strong Creator Laptop
The ASUS ProArt P14 is an interesting combination of portability, high-end graphics, large unified memory, and a color-focused OLED display.
Its biggest selling point is clearly RTX Spark. Instead of simply putting a conventional CPU and discrete GPU into a thin laptop, ASUS is using NVIDIA’s new platform to target AI-heavy creative workflows in a much smaller package.
The combination of up to 128GB unified memory, a Blackwell GPU, 3K OLED display, and a 13.9mm chassis makes the ASUS ProArt P14 one of the more unusual creator laptops in its class. ASUS has already positioned it as a machine for AI creators, developers, and creative professionals who want powerful local processing without moving to a larger workstation.
Pricing and exact availability can vary by market, and ASUS’s current regional specifications show different memory and storage configurations. Buyers should therefore check the local ASUS listing before making a purchase.
The detailed specifications of ASUS’ upcoming ProArt P14 armed with NVIDIA’s RTX Spark have arrived, giving us a closer look at the hardware configurations for the base model and top-end one. Thankfully, the Taiwanese manufacturer isn’t skimping out on offering a low memory count for the starting configuration because the ProArt P14 is expected to arrive with 24GB of LPDDR5X unified memory. Unfortunately, there are some compromises you’ll have to make, which we’ve mentioned below. SSD upgrades are limited to just one slot, and users won’t have access to the faster PCIe NVMe Gen 5 standard While you can check the […]
NVIDIA’s RTX Spark is picking up momentum in the laptop space, and before the chipset’s official release, the GPU manufacturer’s partners are said to be experiencing a popularity surge for this product.

Other laptop brands may also witness a similar increase in RTX Spark laptop sales due to the popularity increase During ASUS' earnings call Q&A session, the company revealed that its channel partners have pre-ordered all available RTX Spark laptop shipments. Now, Economic Daily […]
Splurging a ludicrous amount of money on hardware from a single brand and being refused top-tier customer support when you require it the most has got to be the biggest backstabbing experience, at least for one individual. Trying to obtain a 2.4GHz receiver replacement for his wireless ASUS headset, he claims that despite spending a boatload of money, he’s not getting the treatment he believes he rightfully deserves. ASUS says that accessories like a headset’s 2.4GHz receiver aren’t covered under warranty, and it’s up to the customer to track down the supplier You’d think that after spending nearly $30,000 on […]
ASUS ROG has expanded its esports monitor lineup with five new models, led by the 720Hz ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace. Alongside three new 24.5‑inch Ace‑series OLED displays, ASUS has also introduced two 27‑inch triple‑mode monitors capable of switching resolutions and refresh rates on the fly.
At the top of the 24.5‑inch FullHD Ace range, the ROG Swift OLED PG259QWS Ace uses a 720Hz Tandem WOLED panel with a 0.02ms response time, 1700‑nit peak brightness and an integrated position sensor for physical setup tracking.
