BenQ Unveils New PD3225U Design Monitor for Mac and MacBook Pro Users
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 color accuracy and enhanced connectivity.
Through IPS Black technology, the PD3225U expresses 35 percent 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 color space, as well as certifications such as Calman Verified, Pantone Validation, and Pantone SkinTone Validation. For corner-to-corner authentic color 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 colors between the monitor and MacBook Pro without needing a calibrator.
For creatives with larger workspace needs, 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 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.
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 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.
"Designed with Mac users in mind, the PD3225U provides unparalleled color 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 Jason Lee, BenQ 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 percent 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.

In the same way sports fans and esports gamers wants high rep rate monitors to cut down on motion blur and latency, creatives want color matching and gamut range. Again different needs for different users.
What I want to hear form BenQ is more details about the mini led high refresh Mobiuz EX321UX they announced recently but shared few details about.24, 48 for some IMAX versionsMissing the ethernet, and thunderbolt 3 in 2024 is silly and sounds a lot like they were trying to avoid some mandatory thing in the spec, should be thunderbolt 4.
Modern digital theatres can typically handle film from 24-60fps and will always match the refresh rate of the source, it's just that the overwhelming majority of content played in theatres is 24fps@24Hz.
