Recommendation, I use DisplayCAL for rest of my monitors, and DisplayCAL comes with Profile Loader in system tray. This is much easier on Windows to swap between profiles (also on my BenQ). I use this tool when swapping between puck settings. One thing to have in back of your head, this Profile Loader needs to be closed when calibrating because it will look at system assignments quite often and put ICC back if it's missing. Lets say Palette Master drops the last calibration ICC, then Profile Loader is going to assign it again. DisplayCal loader make sure Windows always keep the correct ICC because some previous bugs back in Win8 when Windows randomly dropped the ICC and replaced it with something random, like sRGB 2.1-xxx, etc, so I think that function alone is worth having the Profile Loader from DisplayCAL.

For Windows 10, your observation is correct because Windows 10 does not color manage at the OS level. You choose the ICC Profile in the display setting so that when you launch a color aware program, the app would make a profile request from Windows and that is when color management happens and not before that. I should make a video about this topic, it is added to the list.

Hi Art, I have some questions: 1. I recently bought a Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Monitor 4K, which is a PCI Express playback card. It can bypass the graphics card and Windows to output a pure signal, but when calibrating the SW270C, the color signal used for calibration is sent to the SW270C through the graphics card and Windows, although the calibration results are stored in the monitor's chip, but is this calibration suitable for the pure signal from the Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Monitor 4K? 2. You mentioned that ICC profiles are used to specify the gamut output information of the graphics card, and some software with color management such as Photoshop and Lightroom Classic will request these ICC profiles from the system, but for some software like DaVinci Resolve is not controlled by ICC profiles, can the SW series still be used for monitoring? If so, why doesn't DaVinci Resolve need icc DaVinci Resolve like Photoshop? Thank you!

Well if your display is not hardware calibration then no. The knowledge shared here is more specific to hardware calibrated display and even more specifically to BenQ SW displays. If your display is software calibration only and does not have Adobe RGB color mode then you can't really do a software calibration in that color gamut. With icc profile there's no gamut translation.

As I am working with davinci resolve and Capture One I calibrated to panel native in slot 1 for photo work and rec709 for davinci in slot two. As I learned in your video I would have to switch icc profile together with switching from one calibration slot to the other. What is the best practice to do this in windows 10? Is it realy the best or only way to open colour management configuration of windows and then reset the standard profile for the calibrated monitor? It feels a bit uncomfortable compared to the Mac configuration you showed in you video. I'm always a bit unsure if just changing the Standard profile for the monitor is all I have to do. It looks as if nothing changes when I do so. Is there anything else I have to do in the colour management setup of windows 10?

I just recently got a SW270C, but I've been color calibrating my other displays for a long time with an X-rite i1Display Pro... There is a question I still do not have answered: Should I use the SW270C icc profile that I can download from BenQ, and ONLY calibrate the display with PME into the custom calibration slots? Or should I both calibrate my display with PME AND then use x-rite's software to generate a custom ICC too? It seems to me that the official BenQ icc for the SW270C is all I want, if I'm doing a hardware calibration with PME. Thanks for the great videos!

Ok so do a hardware calibration with PME. You can download the profile from BenQ, but those are generic and they are only so accurate. To get the best icc profile, it has to be tuned to your video card output, so using i1Profiler for the other color mode would yield the best result. But if you ask me you are adding too much complications and complexity to your color workflow and I feel that is unnecessary. For me I just calibrate in 1 RGB primary, panel native and just use that.

Say I want to calibrate in Rec 709 and also sRGB, do I end up doing two calibrations into the custom slots with PME, and also two icc calibrations with X-rite's software? If I do that, I would need to use the hockey puck to switch from rec709 to sRGB, and then also go into the color management in Windows and change the icc profile applied, correct? That sounds complicated too. :) Would it be best to just do 1 panel native in PME, and then maintain two icc profiles? Thanks again!

kzitem.info/news/bejne/0H2hr6qaomSkfmU So you can do that, I would just customize it to calibration 1 and 2 and yes use PME to calibrate slot 1 and 2 to the RGB primary that you like. PME does produce an icc profile so you should use PME icc profile for slot 1 and 2. You have to change this manually as I showed in the video. So your thinking is correct. It is not as complicated but more so what will happen is that mistake will be made, i.e. forgetting to change the icc profile to one that matches with the calibration slot. Best to use just 1 icc and 1 calibration. Unless you really have a need to do more than 1. Panel native needs to be paid with a panel native icc, adobe rgb with adobe rgb icc, etc when calibrating with PME. Also this is the reason why 1 RGB primary works kzitem.info/news/bejne/qKtn1KV7n2qnrZw

However, when I set the ICC display profile to any of these profiles, everything looks washed and dull. If I set the ICC profile to the standard BenQ SW321C or sRGB, the colors looks beautiful, bright and vibrant and they look more similar to what I will see when I deliver the image to other devices and monitors.

Art, you mention you calibrate your monitor to Native Panel, 80cd/m2 and use that for all your photo editing, videos etc. However, in Windows, at least, if you do this, not only are all elements such as icons and photo thumbnails oversaturated (since Windows itself is not colour managed), but videos are also over-saturated, since they are normally in the sRGB colour space. I would like to use Panel native, but avoid it for this reason, so I use an sRGB HW calibration profile. If I need to use a larger gamut (e.g. for photo editing), I'll switch to it temporarily. What are your thoughts? BTW, thank you for your very informative videos.

And video are not normally sRGB but rather REC 709 which is a equivalent for video. You can certainly do what you have done so far and that is fine especially if your system exhibits the over-saturation issue. Also most of the apps that you use are color managed so that should not be an issue at all.

In PS under preferences I can "Assign a Profile" and there are choices "Working RGB: Adobe RGB(1998)" and "Profile: SW2700...".Which is best to use?

Thx for you great work covering the benq calibration features. Would please elaborate, why are you recommending using the panel native calibration instead of the AdobeRGB for example. Let's say the photographer for whom this product is generally advertised is using a software like Photoshop or Lighteroom or C1 or any other to edit his pictures. The decision to pay a premium for this kind of a display is a wider gamut than average. Benq advertises 99% AdobeRGB. So why would one prefer to use a panel native calibration instead of the AdobeRGB ? As far as I understand, all the major software I mentioned is color managed, therefore the chosen profile on the OS level will tell the software the exact calculation that should be done in order to provide the representation of the color gamut that the calibration was done for. Therefore, let's say the user has calibrated the display with the AdobeRGB primaries and have configured the photoshop color settings working space with the same profile. This way the 16bit LUT will manage the color mapping on the displays side and the color profile will manage the representation of the gamut that is sent to the display accordingly. Wouldn't that be the best case scenario for the usage of the benq implemented calibration ? What would be the benefit to use the panel native calibration instead ?
@ArtIsRight

In short, Panel Native is like Adobe RGB but slightly larger, so yes you pay more of these display to get more colors and to get that you should calibrate in Panel Native. Color remapping between display profiles and color aware program is done either at the OS level or software and not on the display. It uses Color Management Module, CMM, a program running in the background in realtime. Or in the situation with Adobe Products, Adobe Color Engine, ACE. On the display the adjustment done are based on the signal output from the video card.

I have a Dell XPS 15 7590 FHD, As this is only 100% sRGB (no idea what % Adobe RGB) will this affect Adobe RGB if I purchase a SW270C or is it determined solely on the graphics card in the XPS (gtx 1650). I use Lightroom and would like an external SW270c monitor, but don't want to waste money if I won't benefit from it. Thanks Brad

Thank you, 100% sRGB is about 70% Adobe RGB. The color gamut coverage percentage is a function of the display panel and nothing else. Your GPU does not really matter in this equation. So SW270C will get 99% sRGB regardless of your computer build in display spec or GPU. Cheers

Thank you for your reply. You wrote rhe SW270C would show about 99% sRGB., please tell me you meant to write 99% Adobe RGB.

Thanks for all your very helpful videos. One aspect which I have not understood so far is: What ICC Profile do I need to select in CaptureOne and in PhotoshopCC when I import the image from my camera into CaptureOne and from there into PS? Also the ICC profile which PME has been created during the hardware calibration or a standard ICC profile like AdobeRGB? CaptureOne typically uses a proprietary camera ICC profile (with several options) during the import and asks for an ICC profile when transfering the image to PS. And in PS in the color settings tab the ICC profile has also to be selected.

ICC profile for the image should be tagged for the specific image, meaning if you are using Adobe RGB for your workflow you should export it as Adobe RGB, if you use sRGB, ProPhoto RGB, you would set it to that respectively. Display profile are use in a few scenarios, i.e. for program to be aware of and utilized the display profile. You should never tag any of the individual images with a display profile.

@@ArtIsRight I wonder what is the relative value for blackpoint "relative" .. They removed relative and replaced with 0.5. Is this 0.5 same as before? Gosh, this is getting worse/more confusing.

I don’t know what relative value was but I can tell you that it is not 0.5 nits. I have a video about this that is releasing in about 4 hours of this reply. Have a look at that it will help out a lot!

Thanks for all the videos you created Art in relation to SW Series as well as calibration process. Very very helpful. I have been using the SW2700OPT for 3 years now and there's one thing that really made me worried recently. First I am using Palette Master 1.3.10 on a Windows 10 PC and i1 Display pro as the calibration device. I followed your advice on the settings at 80cd/m2, panel native, 16 bit LUT and relative. Then I did some testing on Display Uniformity using i1 Profiler software. The results to me was a bit worrying. For example the luminance value on the upper left corner for white was 72, lower left was 70, upper right was 81 whilst the center was at 78. For dark gray, there's 33% delta for luminance on upper right corner when compared to the centre. Have you done any uniformity test before on this model? High end monitors like EIZOs and NEC normally claimed to have 100% uniformity and on that basis should I be worried that the results on the SW2700PT uniformity test would have any impact on how I see and edit my images?

Lots to unpack here. Starting off the SW2700PT does not have the new Uniformity Version 2 like in the SW270C and SW321C. And these BenQ display are never meant to compete with Eizo which cost 2 to 3 times as much in any regards or NEC for that matter. I have used NEC and dapple with Eizo in the pass and the uniformity is good for the price that you pay but none of them are exactly 100%, they come close to it. Based on what you are seeing, this is in range for the SW2700PT, it is not a panel defect or anything. You can watch my video on uniformity here kzitem.info/news/bejne/u6-ZmJyhfZt2o2k essentially using a percentage to view uniformity is one of the worse matrix possible. Because at the low end, dark gray, if the center reads 4 nits, the other area read 3 for instance, at which point you are looking a percentage variation of 25 or if it reads 2 then you are looking 50% variation, mind you that it is only 2 nits. The better value to use here is the ∆Eab which is going to be the best matrix to use when comparing uniformity because it consider more variables than just straight luminance. I would not worry about this. In the future if you want to get a BenQ with better uniformity I would look at the SW270C.

@@ArtIsRight thank you so much for such a detailed response. I was literally looking for sw270c price before i received your response. And i will check your link about uniformity. I just saw your vide about calibration when yoy said 'don' t overthink' and 'not to stres to much'. So guilty as that is what exacrly happened to me fiddling with calibration! Thank you.
