Interfaces

The Asus ProArt PA32UCD has an HDMI 2.1 port and two Thunderbolt 4 ports - the latter can be used to connect multiple displays in series thanks to the high maximum data rate of Thunderbolt 4, using only one cable connected to the computer. In addition, a notebook connected to the monitor via Thunderbolt 4 can also be supplied with up to 96W of power, so it can do without an additional connection to the mains.

The two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (each with 10 Gbit/s data rate) also run via Thunderbolt 4 - one with Type-A, one with Type-C connector - via which further peripherals can be connected.
