Have you ever connected an external monitor to your MacBook® only to find the colour looks a bit different between the two screens? Chances are that the external display was designed with slightly different colour settings than the one on your Mac screen, so the colours render differently. Usually, calibrating your monitors and using the same colour space would fix this, but there is one small problem. Most of the latest Mac displays use a unique colour space called Display P3, made specifically by Apple. In order to resolve this issue, BenQ has created a new mode that will accurately match the colours on your monitor to the colours on your Mac.
The colour scientists at BenQ have fine-tuned a M-book colour mode in the latest DesignVue PD and PhotoVue SW monitors that is designed to minimize the visual differences between Mac displays and external displays. M-book mode performs precise colour matching when you want a larger display that has the same colour and it is particularly useful for dual-monitor use, where your MacBook display and external monitor work together.
BenQ M-book mode takes MacBook Pro® Colour LCD profile as the color benchmark to match its gamma, dynamic contrast, and colour temperature. These parameters are written into the BenQ monitor’s colour profile, ensuring it is ready to go out of the box.
The BenQ ICCsync auto-matches and auto-syncs ICC profiles between your Mac and BenQ Professional Monitors, and updates when colour modes are changed. BenQ Uniformity Technology provides authentic colour corner-to-corner, with consistent luminescence across the entire screen. Combining these two technologies with M-book mode provides the highest level of colour quality and precision such that both displays look and appear to have the same colour performance.
NOTE: There may be slight differences between the MacBook and BenQ M-book mode due to glossy/non-glossy screens, brightness limitations, or native color gamut coverage.
How to Turn on M-book Mode?
Go to Colour > Colour Mode > M-book
What about the Standard Colour Spaces?
Most professional monitors come with standard colour space modes. Whether it is Adobe RGB, sRGB, or another colour space, they all have specific usage scenarios. Using these standards guarantees compatibility and they are used by colour professionals from web designers to photographers. The custom designed M-book mode of BenQ Professional Monitors is not meant to replace them, but to offer an additional option to those who work specifically with a MacBook.
Tuning Colours with MacBook and across External Monitors
For professionals like designers and photographers using MacBook Pro or Mac mini®, achieving colour consistency across displays is crucial. While M-book mode offers a preset that aligns with the MacBook Pro display, differences may arise with other MacBook models. The BenQ Display ColourTalk software addresses this by setting the MacBook as the benchmark and guiding users through a simple process to adjust brightness, colour temperature, hue, and saturation on their BenQ monitor. This ensures seamless colour harmony, making BenQ monitors some of the best options for MacBook Pro and Mac mini users. Syncing colours across monitors is straightforward with Display ColorTalk.
Conclusion
BenQ's M-book mode offers professionals the ability to work on a larger monitor while maintaining the familiar colour profile of their Mac. Combined with the Display ColourTalk software, users can effortlessly synchronize colours across multiple monitors, ensuring consistent and accurate colour representation. This is especially important for designers and photographers who require precise colour matching in their workflows. BenQ’s advanced technologies, including Uniformity Technology and ICCsync, further enhance color accuracy, making BenQ monitors the best choice for MacBook Pro and Mac mini users.
