Affordable recommended monitors

[Ann]

Somethings which I have discovered about the splendid BenQ monitors:

Always use the Advanced panel when Calibrating and use Native WB (and not Adobe RGB) for your Colour space;
and choose Relative Black Point as well.

This becomes very important if you use either Lightroom or ACR because those applications work in their own very large-gamut working space and you will get double-colour management (and horrible orange results!) if you profile the Monitor to other than Native WB.

There is a very good YouTube tutorial on the calibration of these monitors which is far better than the PME printed Instructions.

I also changed the graphics card inside my computer for one which provides a Display Port and also 8GB of VRAM too. Using a DigitalPort will give you the 10-bit diplay while you will only get8-bit via HDMI.

I am thrilled with my BenQ so hope that you will be with yours as well!

Happy to have helped!

The way in which you Calibrate and Profile is vital with the BenQs — using Advanced and Native etc. is the key.

Have fun with that monitor — as I know that you will?!
