BenQ PD3225U 32" 4K IPS Black Review, where I'll go over all of the specs, talk about color accuracy, calibration capability, uniformity, and everything related to PD3225U, and answer the questions if this display is a worthy update to the predecessor PD3220U. In addition, I'll answer the following questions:
1. Is 4K still ok today
2. Are these compatible with Macs?
3. If I am looking at a 32" 4K today, should I get this or the predecessor PD3220U?
4. If I have a PD3220U already and I want to get an additional display, should I get this new PD3225U or another PD3220U?
5. If I have a 32" SW display and I want another 32" 4K but not SW, should I get the PD3225U or PD3220U?
And yes, you can download the companion software Display Pilot 2, which not only comes with a new UI but also integrates with your Mac. Now, you can use the brightness function keys on your keyboard to adjust the PD3225U Brightness and volume. In addition, BenQ Display Color Talk will help you match the color of your PD3225U to your Mac display.

I have a BenQ Mobiuz EX3210U for about a year and I can only say good things about the brand, but about a month ago I bought an Asus Rog Swift PG32UCDM and I can say that the QD-OLED is the best matrix I've had in terms of colors!

Hi Art! Will you also make a more complete video on this monitor? Performing calibration, panel uniformity, and checking the actual contrast of the monitor? I'm curious to see how close it gets to the 2000:1 contrast after calibration. Thanks.

@ArtIsRight 2 ай бұрын

This is a complete review, you are looking for a calibration guide, and since they are similar to what I have already done, I won't be doing those. 2000:1 is factory typical value, when a calibration is done the contrast will decrease, it is just the nature of display calibration. Hope this helps

Cool video. Will you do a review of the upcoming BenQ SW242Q? It seems like a good entry level photography monitor. Would the 2560x1600 resolution be too low to work well with 45MP photos or larger?

Thanks for another great review. I'm curious if, as a brand ambassador, you know if a 27" version is coming? 32" is very big for my needs, but I'd love some of these upgrades over the current 2725U.

For colour correction/grading a video, do we have to colour calibrate the monitor? Since it is factory-calibrated, and hardware calibrated, do we need an external colour calibration device?

@ArtIsRight 2 ай бұрын

Yes you should custom calibrate for these reasons kzfaq.info/get/bejne/irWSddx7xtuWdXk.html and the device that I recommend right now is Calibrite Display Pro HL or Display Plus HL

hello Mr artisright. is 80 nits ideal settings for hdr paper white, for games in very dark room ?

@ArtIsRight 2 ай бұрын

80 nits is considered SDR - Standard Dynamic Range. And there's no HDR paper white. However, yes, 80 - 120 nits is the range you want to use for paper matching. Gaming in a darkroom, you can just choose what feels comfortable for your eyes.

Contrast ratio is based on the panel, this is OS agnostic - aka it does not matter what OS you use, you'll get the contrast

Hi Art, I'm still struggling with this red hue on left and grey on right unless you use uniformity which ruins brightness and contrast. currently using it with M3 Max. Any tips pls, this is an investment for me and it saddens me to face this now. thank you :)

@ArtIsRight 23 күн бұрын

That may be a panel defect, I would do A/B testing, meaning get another computer or source as an input and if the issue still occur, I would reach out to your local BenQ support for a warranty replacement. Or if you are still in the return period, I would return it as a defective product and buy a new one.

Does the Benq pd3225u use the same screen panel as the Dell u3223qe? Then gradually add functions. and various features Then sell it for a more expensive price.

@emilyyhliu 2 ай бұрын

I think yes! They are all IPS Balck panel from LG

@ArtIsRight 2 ай бұрын

I'm not sure what panel Dell uses, but if it is IPS Black and if they advertised LG then the probability is high. As for the price point, the calibration is the key factor here, uniformity calibration, and calibration in various color modes, etc. It is not just extra function. Like I said here, panel can be the same but the signal processing and etc is different.

if you bump up the brightness to 100% and it seems dim, which is relative, you should contact support. Without a measuring device it is hard to say what the nits output is and where that lands on the scale.
