BenQ Unveils New Design Monitor for Mac and MacBook Pro Users

EINDHOVEN, THE NETHERLANDS, 7 MARCH 2024 – BenQ, a global leader in display technology, announced today the launch of its newest professional monitor, the PD3225U. 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.

Through IPS Black technology, the PD3225U expresses 35% deeper blacks than a conventional IPS monitor by minimising light leakage, changing and improving the liquid crystal array, so colours 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.

For creatives who need a larger workspace, the 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 customisable 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 brightness and speaker volume adjustment through a MacBook keyboard.

The 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 customise 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.

“Designed with Mac users in mind, the PD3225U provides unparalleled colour features such as IPS Black, M-book Mode and BenQ’s AQCOLOR technology, as well as wide connectivity to enhance workflows and streamline performance for Mac-focused creatives,” said William WL Wang, BenQ Europe LCD business line manager. “We are thrilled to add this new monitor to our extensive line of design monitors.”

In addition to the high-quality performance specifications, the PD3225U is also eco-friendly with 85% of the monitor made with post-consumer recycled materials 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.

The PD3225U costs 1,199 EUR and will be available soon on the BenQ website. Be the first to access it by clicking the "Notify me" button on the product page.
