Professional Colour Accuracy

Thanks to BenQ's "AQCOLOR" technology, the PD3200U delivers accurate colours to professional standards. The PD3200U delivers 10-bit colour depth, one hundred per cent coverage of sRGB, and a Delta E = 3 value. Its IPS panel minimises colour shift, ensuring the display is always accurate.

All BenQ designer monitors are individually calibrated and tested against industry standards. This ensures optimal Gamma and Delta-E performance, as well as colour uniformity across the range. The PD3200U monitor has CalMAN Verified, Pantone Validated and Technicolor Color certifications for its colour accuracy. This means it's capable of handling colour grading work in film, broadcast and more.

Flicker-free display

The 4K UHD (3840x2160) display uses exclusive eye-care technologies to reduce strain on the eyes through prolonged use. The display does not flicker the way standard monitors do. This eliminates the subtle but perceptible strain on the eyes caused by standard computer monitors. Also, the LED Backlight is optimised to minimise backlight bleed.

BenQ has also included its Low Blue Light Technology to filter out irritating blue light, further reducing eye strain. The anti-glare matte finish of the display means that no hood is necessary, even in sub-optimal lighting conditions.

Specialised modes

The BenQ PD3200U offers multiple specialised modes to maximise efficiency in your chosen field - CAD/CAM, Animation, Darkroom and more. The CAD/CAM mode provides superb contrast, optimising the view for technical drawings. It provides unbeatable compatibility with all leading design software, including Pro/E, SOLIDWORKS, AutoCAD, CATIA and others.

Animation mode is designed to produce the maximum dynamic range possible to show details in shadow without losing highlights. With up to 10 brightness levels, it can easily be optimised to suit user preference.

Darkroom mode is for the photographers. It adjusts the brightness and contrast of the display specifically to bring to life the smallest details of high-resolution files. Fine-tuning images has never been easier.

Switch between these modes easily with the Hotkey Puck, or map it to your most commonly used settings. Use the Keyboard Video Mouse (KVM) Switch to tether two PC systems to one monitor. DualView Mode lets you showcase multiple designs in one screen. You can also multi-task in separate window partitions with BenQ Display Pilot software.

Class-leading performance

The BenQ PD3200U has a refresh rate of 60Hz, minimal input lag and a snappy 4ms response time. This means it's a good choice as a 4K gaming monitor. The monitor has a built in 5Wx2 speaker and headphone jack, and is compatible with Vesa wall mounting. The WHQL Driver optimises the monitor to run flawlessly with the latest versions of Windows. It's also an excellent choice of monitor for a Macbook.

Ergonomic viewing angles

Adjust the BenQ PD3200U to suit any preferred viewing angle. The monitor offers extensive adjustments to its height, tilt, pivot, stroke and swivel. If it is rotated a full 90°, the smart screen orientation sensor kicks in and activates portrait mode. This means you can always view images or video in its full-screen glory, regardless of the original shooting orientation.
