General

You will need to download BenQ's Display Pilot 2 software to properly configure and control your screen, so we will give you some settings for that as well.

DP2 settings

ICCsync = Off (if you're going to use our calibrated profile, or generally don't want to use their provided profiles anyway)

Colour weakness = off

Low blue light = off

Settings > advanced section = you can enable various USB-C and input related settings here if needed.

AMA (response times) = Premium

In HDR mode leave local dimming enabled, although HDR in general is very limited

SDR calibrated mode

For use with our calibrated ICC profile attached, configured to a 2.2 gamma, D65 white point and clamping the colour space back to sRGB for colour-aware applications.

Preset mode = User

Brightness = 11 (for 120 nits, but set this at whatever you find comfortable and appropriate for your ambient light conditions)

Contrast = 50 (default)

Sharpness = default

Gamma = 2.2

Colour temp = User

Colour space = Native

RGB = 91, 99, 93

If you don't want to use our calibrated ICC profile then you could also use the sRGB or P3 colour clamps in this User mode to work specifically with those colour spaces. They are nice and accurate, and will still give you full access to the other settings.

Switching to the sRGB gamma may also be desirable in some situations as it improves the near-black shadow detail very nicely. Not to be used with our calibrated ICC profile, but you could instead use (for accurate SDR and permanent sRGB clamping):

Preset mode = User

Brightness = 11 (for 120 nits, but set this at whatever you find comfortable and appropriate for your ambient light conditions)

Contrast = 50 (default)

Sharpness = default

Gamma = sRGB (for improved shadow detail)

Colour temp = User

Colour space = sRGB

RGB = 91, 98, 98
