Colour Fidelity

Tested with the calibrator, the Benq monitor showed very good colour fidelity.

Contrast And Brightness

The display is a little out of its depth with the darkest colours, but no more than its current competitors. On the other hand, the display's default adjustments are good. The monitor I was sent was set a little warm, but not inordinately so.

The contrast was excellent, thanks to a very deep black level. The brightness works against the unit's multimedia pretensions, since it's clearly a little too high for office applications. You can always lower it, of course, but the colour rendering will suffer.

Colour Gamut

The display's colour gamut is quite good, even a little better than the standard.
