Precise Details to Create Perfection


Design professionals never compromise on details. BenQ Designer Monitors deliver absolute color precision and ultra detailed high resolution to craft every step leading to brilliant work, turning design dreams into reality.

Outstanding Color Accuracy and Resolution


2K QHD High Resolution


2K QHD (2560x1440) resolution offers extraordinary clarity of fine details and depth of subtle textures optimized for visually intensive work in animation, visual effects, graphics, and photos.
Devoted to meet the latest professional color standard, BenQ has developed AQCOLOR technology to uphold the concept: “Accurate Reproduction". BenQ has invited a color expert to lead the team, and also actively participated in ICC (International Color Consortium) and ISO (International Standard Organization) to establish color-related standards and implementation.

Reference-Grade Color Performance with 10-bit color depth, 100% sRGB and Rec. 709


Covering 100% of sRGB and Rec. 709 color spaces and delivering an amazing Delta E ≤ 3 value, PD3200Q’s advanced wide viewing angle technology minimizes color shift to inspire absolute design confidence. 100% sRGB color gamut accuracy adheres to industry standards in digital production, and Rec. 709 reproduces accurate resolution, frame rate, color gamut, gamma, and white point performance in high-definition video work.

Professionally Factory-Calibrated for Exacting Color Accuracy


Each BenQ Designer Monitor is individually factory-calibrated upon production to assure precise Delta-E and Gamma performance. Calibration results are validated against industry color standards to deliver the truest and most representative view of original content.

PANTONE VALIDATED CERTIFICATION


BenQ PD3200Q monitors are endorsed by Pantone Validated, the globally recognized color system in color science and meticulous correction process, to embrace superior fidelity in reproducing the trusted colors creative enterprises will value.

Technicolor Color Certified


Technicolor Color Certification meets strict color standards widely used in Hollywood and entertainment industries. All BenQ PD Series Designer Monitors are Technicolor Color Certified, ensuring consistent and accurate colors for impressive performance in broadcast, film, animation, and entertainment applications.

Simple, Functional Design for Increased Efficiency


CAD/CAM Mode


Offering superior contrast for lines and shapes in technical illustrations, CAD/CAM mode accentuates the finest details to produce incredible display performance in Pro/E, SOLIDWORKS, AutoCAD, CATIA, or other design software.

Animation Mode


Often problematic for designers working with intricate details in dark images, Animation mode enhances the brightness of dark areas without overexposing bright regions. Animation mode provides 10 levels of display brightness to bring out every subtlety clearly in any ambient lighting.

Darkroom Mode


Adjusting image brightness and contrast for superb clarity and detail sharpness, Darkroom mode creates the optimal setting for work in darkened post-processing environments.

Smart Efficiency and Productivity Enhancers


Hotkey Puck


Switch between CAD/CAM, Animation and Darkroom modes with a simple click of a button on the Hotkey Puck. Customize the buttons to map other modes or OSD settings such as brightness and contrast.

Keyboard Video Mouse (KVM) Switch


KVM Switch function allows users to display and control content from two different PC systems on one screen using just one set of keyboard and mouse to save space and boost work efficiency.

DualView Mode


Improve your workflow and enhance productivity by switching on DualView to showcase designs in two modes (e.g. sRGB and CAD/CAM) side-by-side without the need for two screens.

Effective Multiple Window Desktop Partition


Proprietary BenQ Display Pilot software* splits your desktop into multiple window partitionss for easy multitasking.

Anti-Glare Display to Minimize Distracting Reflections


Anti-glare matte finish keeps distracting reflections to a minimum for improved efficiency in squint-free comfort.

Ergonomic Design for Tailored Workspaces


An extensive range of height, tilt, pivot, stroke, and swivel adjustments customize your workstation for the perfect fit. When used in portrait mode, PD3200Q’s smart screen orientation sensor auto-rotates source content to display images in full context.

Caring for Your Eyes


Industry-Leading Eye-Care Technology


BenQ exclusive eye-care technologies reduce eye fatigue for user comfort, enhanced productivity, and workplace safety during extended use.

Low Blue Light Technology


Unique BenQ Low Blue Light Technology is designed to filter out harmful blue light, effectively diminishing eye fatigue and irritation.

Flicker-free


Flicker-free eliminates flickering at all brightness levels and reduces eye fatigue effectively. Conventional LCD screens flicker at the rate of 250 times per second. Your eyes may not see the flickers but they can certainly feel them. So relieve your eyes from the uncomfortable flickering effect by switching to a BenQ flicker-free monitor.
