The BenQ PD2725U is an ultra-high-resolution monitor designed for professional users in the graphic, CAD, and creative fields. It delivers very high color accuracy with a 10-bit color depth and 100% sRGB and Rec.709 color space coverage. Utilize one of the three display modes (Darkroom, CAD/CAM, Animation) to accentuate specific image details and facilitate editing, visualizing, and creating.
The Darkroom mode adjusts the brightness and contrast of images to present details more clearly and sharply, making it easier to work in dimly lit post-processing environments. The CAD/CAM mode offers very high contrast to highlight lines and edges in technical illustrations and wireframe models. The Animation mode enhances details in dark shades, allowing you to make fine adjustments to your animated creations effortlessly, while areas where the function is not needed remain unchanged.
