AQCOLOR technology guarantees precise gamma, brightness, and colour temperature calibration, validated by Calman and Pantone certification. A factory calibration report guarantees out-of-the-box consistency. Palette Master Ultimate enables hardware calibration with X-Rite and Datacolor calibrators, ensuring long-term colour stability.

Maintaining uniformity across screens

The PD2730S features Uniformity Technology, reducing brightness and colour shifts across the display. ICCsync enables seamless colour profile switching, ensuring accurate representation when toggling between sRGB, DCI-P3, and Rec.709 modes. This technology is crucial for graphic design, video post-production, and print proofing, where precise colour matching is essential.

High-resolution 5K display for precision

The 5120 x 2880 resolution (218 PPI) delivers sharp, true-to-life detail, ideal for photo retouching, CAD/CAM applications, and high-resolution video editing. The Nano Matte Panel minimises glare and reflections, ensuring uniform brightness in studio and office environments. HDR10 and VESA DisplayHDR 400 enhance contrast and highlight fine details in HDR video grading and 3D rendering.

Optimising connectivity for multi-device setups

Equipped with Thunderbolt 4 (90W power delivery, DisplayPort Alt Mode, and data transfer), the PD2730S supports 40Gbps speeds, ideal for high-resolution asset management, 3D rendering, and real-time collaboration.

FAQs:

Does the BenQ PD2730S support HDR content?

Yes, the PD2730S supports HDR10 and is VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified. This certification provides improved brightness and contrast for HDR-compatible content. However, as DisplayHDR 400 is an entry-level standard, it enhances highlights but does not deliver the full dynamic range of higher-tier HDR formats.

Can the BenQ PD2730S be wall-mounted?

Yes, the PD2730S is VESA 100x100 mm compatible, allowing installation on monitor arms or wall mounts. The monitor weighs 5.6 kg without the base, making it suitable for most standard VESA mounting solutions.

What connectivity options does the PD2730S have?

The PD2730S supports high-bandwidth video, data transfer, and 90W power delivery through HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and Thunderbolt 4. Thunderbolt 3 daisy chaining allows dual 5K monitor setups with a single cable. The monitor also features USB Type-C, USB 3.2 Type-A, and USB Type-C downstream ports for peripheral connectivity.

Does the PD2730S have built-in speakers?

Yes, the PD2730S features dual 3W speakers for basic audio output. While these are sufficient for general use, external speakers or headphones are recommended for high-fidelity audio work. A headphone jack is also included for direct monitoring.
