True, Consistent Color

True to Life Picture Detail & Colors PB328Q offers a wide color gamut of 100% sRGB to deliver impresive and lifelike picture quality.

10-bit color for smoother gradations

The PB328Q offers 10-bit display color for over one billion onscreen colors and support 12 bit internal lookup table (LUT), which gives smoother gradations and a more natural transition between hues.

Wide Viewing angle

178° wide-viewing-angle to minimize the color shift and promise for a better viewing experience also features 100,000,000 ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio for enhanced image contrast.

See Better and Wider

The PB328Q WQHD monitor equaling four times the resolution of stand 720p sets. It allows users to view greater image detail and do more with an onscreen footprint larger than that of standard displays.

Made for Work and Play

With its WQHD display, you enjoy 77% more desktop space than a full HD screen to spread out your windows and palettes.

6-axis independent color adjustment

Customized hue and saturation control with 6 color adjustment allows you to adjust six colors (red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow) independently without effecting other colors.

Hassle-free setting

The user-friendly and exclusive intuitive 5-way navigation joystick allows users to do the OSD setting with simple mind – go right, left, up, or down on your OSD menu setting has never been so easy.

Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture

ASUS exclusive innovations Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-by-Picture (PBP) allows users to view images from different signals in almost anyway they want. PIP and PBP let users view images from different signals and let them switch between the main and PIP source, including audio, easily.

QuickFit Virtual Scale Function

ASUS included its exclusive QuickFit Virtual Scale Function with the PB328Q , allowing users to preview photos and documents on screen in their actual sizes prior to printing. It can activated via a hotkey on monitor and used as a guide to accurately view and edit photos. Additionally, the PB328Q also comes with a choice of seven different background colors for users to choose from.

Ergonomic Design

As with most ASUS displays, the PB328Q is VESA-wall mount compliant and comes with a versatile stand with full tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustment. A user-friendly Quick Release Stand for hassle-free setting.

Ultra-low Blue Light Monitor

The TÜV Rheinland-certified ASUS Blue Light Filter protects you from harmful blue light, and you can easily access its four different filter settings via a hotkey. PB328Q has undergone stringent performance tests and has been certified by TÜV Rheinland laboratories, a global provider of technical, safety, and certification services, to be flicker-free and to emit low blue light levels.

Flicker-free Technology

It's time to say goodbye to those tired, strained eyes. PB328Q features TÜV Rheinland-certified ASUS Flicker-Free technology to reduce flicker for a comfortable viewing experience. This technology helps minimize instances of eyestrain and other damaging ailments, especially when you spend long, countless hours in front of a display watching favorite videos.
