Asus ProArt Monitor Calibration Guide

September 3, 2025

Calman Studio and Ultimate provide direct calibration support for Calman Ready ASUS monitors. Through the built-in integration, Calman connects to the display over USB to perform automated grayscale, color, and gamma corrections. This workflow delivers precise and reliable results, optimized for professional content creation and color-critical work.

Calman Required Version

  • Calman (Ultimate or Studio) Version 5.16.2 or later

Step 1

  • From the Calman Menu in the top-left, choose Open Workflow Template -> Calman Ready and then ASUS.

 

  • On the introduction screen, select your display type (OLED or LCD) and mode (SDR or HDR) from the dropdown and click Next to proceed to Hardware Setup

Step 2

  • Plug your meter into a USB port on the computer and press the Find Meter button on the left.
    • When your meter is connected, select your display type from the dropdown
  • Connect Pattern Source to your computer.
    • Click the Find Source button, then select your source
    • Select the pattern window size and delay
      • OLED: Window 2% with 0.75-second delay
      • LCD: Window 10% with 1.25-second delay
    • Ensure your source is set to match your video range, and SDR or HDR corresponding to your choice in Step 1
      • Note: The ASUS internal pattern generator cannot be used for HDR calibration.
    • Set Pattern insertion
      • Click the Reset to Defaults button to set the appropriate pattern insertion for the display and calibration type in Step 1
  • Click Next to proceed

Step 3

  • Select the calibration targets
  • Confirm/configure your calibration targets. These will be automatically set to common defaults by the options from Step 1
    • Configuration Examples:
SDR HDR

(Optional) Current State Measurements

  • This workflow page is intended to document the monitor’s current operational state before establishing any DDC connection or selecting a calibration mode.
  • This step can be skipped if documenting the current state is not needed. Another set of Pre-Calibration measurements will be taken in later steps.

 

  • To take Current State Measurements, click the Measure button to measure the display’s rayscale and color response.
  • Click Next to proceed

Step 4

 

  • Connect your ASUS Monitor
    • Connect the monitor to the computer using a USB-C cable for communication.
    • Click Find Display 
    • On the Find Display dialog, you can choose two calibration methods. Connect with the method you wish to calibrate with.
      • Asus ProArt Monitors 3D LUT
        • Calibrates the monitor using a 1D LUT for grayscale calibration, and a 3D LUT for color gamut correction
      • Asus ProArt Monitor Matrix
        • Calibrates the monitor using a 1D LUT for grayscale calibration, and a 3×3 matrix for color gamut correction
        • Note: Not available for HDR calibration
    • Note: The Levels setting in the monitor should be set to Full or Auto to match the Full / PC (0-255) level that Calman will calibrate with.

Pre-Calibration Measurements

  • This workflow page is intended to document the target picture mode prior to calibration.

 

  • To take Pre-Calibration Measurements, click the Measure button to measure the display’s rayscale and color response.
    • This will provide a point of reference to compare the calibration results
  • Click Next to proceed

Step 5

  • Here, the target picture mode can be selected, and the display will be reset to prepare for calibration.

 

  • Select the display mode you wish to calibrate, and click Reset to prepare the display for calibration
    • Note: Each mode can only be calibrated for either SDR or HDR. Use different modes for each to prevent calibration loss

SDR Only – Measure and set Luminance

  • Here, you can adjust the monitor’s overall luminance setting to one that meets or exceeds your target luminance.

 

  • Click Measure and adjust the Brightness slider as needed.
  • In the Target Luminance box, you can also set the target luminance that the 1D LUT will achieve.
  • Click Next to proceed

Step 6

  • Here, Calman will adjust the Multipoint Greyscale of the display using a 1D LUT.

 

  • Click the AutoCal button and select the correct data points in the AutoCal Dialog to auto-calibrate the Grayscale/Luminance response on the display.
    • This should match the video range you chose in Step 1.
  • Click OK to begin greyscale AutoCal.
  • When AutoCal is complete, click the Next button to proceed.

Step 7

  • On this page, Calman will calibrate the color gamut using a 3D LUT or Matrix, depending on the mode chosen in step 
3D LUT Matrix

 

  • Click the AutoCal button to open the AutoCal dialog
    • Recommended LUT types:
      • SDR: Lightning LUT
      • HDR: Fixed-Grid LUT
  • Click OK to begin the colorspace AutoCal process
  • When AutoCal is complete, click the Next button to proceed

Step 8

  • In this step, you’ll take measurements of the calibration results.

 

  • To take Post-Calibration Measurements, click the Measure button to measure the display’s grayscale and color response.
  • Click Next to proceed

 

  • On the Calibration Complete page, you can choose to…
    • Save and Report
      • Select Save and Report to generate the calibration report
    • View Comparison
      • Displays Pre and Post Calibration measurements of the calibrated mode side-by-side
    • Restart
      • Returns to the beginning of the workflow, where a new mode or colorspace can be selected
      • Note: Does not save workflow data
