BenQ Crafts AQCOLOR P3 Thunderbolt 3 Display for Pro Designers

Sydney, July 7, 2019 BenQ, internationally renowned provider of digital lifestyle devices, today unveiled DesignVue PD3220U, a 31.5” 4K UHD flagship monitor tailored for professional designers with 100% sRGB and 95% P3 colour space coverage, BenQ AQCOLOR technology, Thunderbolt 3 / DisplayPort / HDMI connectivity, and exclusive Eye-Care technology.

“PD3220U delivers individually calibrated and certified world-class P3 colour performance designers need,” said Conway Lee, President of BenQ Corporation. “It embodies our continued devotion to the latest professional market requirements in colour accuracy and display functionality for improved work efficiency and creative productivity.”

Featuring a pristine 31.5-inch 4K UHD (3840x2160) LED IPS panel with 140 PPI density, PD3220U renders precise detail clarity with the absolute confidence of 95% coverage of the world-class DCI-P3 wide colour gamut as well as 100% sRGB and Rec. 709. Verified by CalMAN for strict adherence to industry-leading colour standards, PD3220U’s proprietary AQCOLOR technology comes backed by individualized factory colour calibration ensuring strict colour accuracy.

PD3220U’s consistently reliable colour performance is enhanced by HDR10 support and specialized modes for design professionals. CAD/CAM Mode provides superior contrast for lines and shapes in technical illustrations, Animation Mode enhances the brightness of dark areas without overexposing bright regions, and Darkroom Mode optimizes image brightness and contrast for darkened post-processing environments. And new for PD3220U, M-Book Mode precisely replicates the P3 colour performance of iMac and MacBook / MacBook Pro devices prevalently used by professional designers.

Elegantly constructed with a simple infinity edge-to-edge screen and height-adjustable design to fit creative workspaces, PD3220U enables video, audio, data, and power delivery connectivity as well as dual monitor daisy chaining for Mac or Windows PCs and laptops via Thunderbolt 3 technology. Equipped with Thunderbolt 3, DisplayPort, and HDMI inputs, PD3220U’s upgraded KVM function lets designers view and control two PCs, Macs, or laptops from a single or two displays and keyboard/mouse by synchronizing USB and video switching simultaneously.

PD3220U’s design versatility is further enhanced by the second-gen Hotkey Puck, an ingenious BenQ exclusive that facilitates OSD menu control with a convenient brightness/contrast/volume dial, a key to quickly switch between display modes, and three customizable buttons to quickly access colour mode and other OSD settings.

In addition, to protect designers’ eyes during extended project sessions, PD3220U offers class-leading Eye-Care comprised of BenQ exclusive Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free technologies.
