BenQ announced today the launch of its newest professional monitor, the PD3225U creator monitor for Mac and MacBook Pro. Featuring IPS Black for 2000:1 contrast ratio, Color Match with Mac devices through M-book mode, and iKeyboard Control, the PD3225U is the perfect creative complement for Mac users in need of colour accuracy and enhanced connectivity.
Designed for Creators
Through IPS Black technology, the BenQ PD3225U expresses 35% deeper blacks than a conventional IPS monitor by minimizing light leakage, changing and improving liquid crystal array, so colors are more vibrant than ever before. The new design monitor also offers Color Match for Mac devices with its M-book Mode and 98% Display P3 colour space, as well as certifications such as Calman Verified, Pantone Validation, and Pantone SkinTone Validation. For corner-to-corner authentic colour and consistent luminance, the PD3225U leverages BenQ's exclusive Uniformity Technology. In addition, the monitor incorporates BenQ's exclusive Display ColorTalk software, which effortlessly matches colours between the monitor and MacBook Pro without needing a calibrator.
Advanced Features
For creatives with larger workspace needs, the BenQ PD3225U can extend a workspace to dual 4K monitors with high-speed transfer through Daisy Chain technology via Thunderbolt connectivity. BenQ's Display Pilot 2 software provides a new customizable and intuitive interface to manage display features such as Print Assist, AutoPivot, PIP/PBD, ICCSync, brightness, and more. Similarly, the PD3225U provides iKeyboard Control for effortless adjustment of brightness and speaker volume through a MacBook keyboard.
Advanced Controls and KVM
The BenQ PD3225U includes a built-in KVM switch for users to control two systems from one keyboard and mouse set via the Hotkey Puck G2, which enables users to customize and access their most-used features via the dial and three controller keys. For users in need of expansive connectivity features, the design monitor is equipped with a Thunderbolt 3 Port, two HDMI ports, a DisplayPort, and a USB hub. With flexible ergonomics, creatives can tilt, swivel, raise, and pivot the monitor to meet their viewing needs.
Eco-Friendly
In addition to the high-quality performance specifications, the BenQ PD3225U is also eco-friendly with 85% of the monitor made with post-consumer recycled materials that is then packaged in fully recyclable cardboard for minimal environmental impact. The monitor also features Auto Power Off, which shuts down the screen after 10, 20 or 30 minutes of inactivity to conserve energy.
Pricing
The BenQ PD3225U Designer Monitor is available for pre-order from BenQ for $1,099.99/£1,099.99.
