BenQ PD3220U review - Professional monitor for 3D, Design and creative content

[@bboygavin]

Wow, dude you literally have the best review of them all, so well done! And I mean it, I’ve literally been hunting every video possible on this monitor when it was only in preview.

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks so much for saying that. I am happy you enjoyed it. I try to bring my audience an actual VFX artist perspective using the monitor and not looking for just a quick review like some KZbinrs do. it makes a difference if you spend some months working professionally on the monitors before reviewing. I am for example doing a review of the New Mac Pro 2019 and it’s been 5 months since I bought it. I am in no rush. I have to test and stress stuff in real production before making a review. Thanks for watching

Hugo's Desk you have my respect bro, you really nailed it!

[@HugosDesk]

INCREDIBLE review. Thank you!

Thanks so much for watching

[@NorthernTallow]

I 'm confused you said a con was no rec709 but at the 11:49 mark its shown as an option and if you go to the website in the link you've given it states that it's given. Why did you say its not 100%? has this changed since your review?

[@HugosDesk]

I have confirmed with BenQ that this monitor does not have 100% rec709 so for me it is a CON since it should be 100% rec709. I was not told how much of rec709 the monitor can do but I am assuming around 90-95% from my tests.

[@NorthernTallow]

@@HugosDesk they need to fix their website then.

[@HugosDesk]

@@NorthernTallow Well the website does not say 100& rec. Have a look: www.benq.com/en/monitor/designer/pd3220u.html It only mentions: 100% sRGB and 95% P3 color space with IPS Technology

10 bit is now available with studio drivers.

[@HugosDesk]

At the time of my video recording Nvidia did not have 10-bit support. KZbin doesn't support annotations anymore so I can't add any new information anymore. Thanks for watching

[@jaimem1788]

Great video and lots of good info. First one I've seen that also correctly described 10-bit support in consumer vs pro video cards! Also, the part on screen uniformity and light bleed along edges of screen very helpful!

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks so muhc for saying that. Much appreciated. I wish KZbin hadn't remove the annotations function, I would have loved to add some new developments from NVidia. As of August they finally 'opened' support 10bit on consumer cards, of course, the rest I mention still stands, like support and stability of a Quadro, but it's great to know that GeForces can now also do 10bit in Pro apps, especially for students and low budget studios.

[@coloredcatpictures1231]

Great review vid Hugo! Regarding your comment on no 10 bit working in resolve with GTX 1080 gaming GPU's. I recently discussed this matter with Black magic and was told.. If your end goal is to achieve 10-bit output to your grading monitor, a DeckLink PCIe card would be a good solution towards achieving this goal. As the card bypasses your system's ICC profile, it will provide an accurate signal with which to reference for the purpose of grading. In addition to this, Resolve 16.1 introduce the ability to output signal through your graphics card. This can certainly work, but do keep in mind outputting through your GPU will put the signal through the system's own ICC profile. Further calibration will be required for a color-accurate image. The GPU's output will be 10-bit if your system supports it. Generally, DisplayPort will support 10-bit output, but I've also heard of HDMI output from recent GPUs being 10-bit. Just keep in mind that the GPU's output will inevitably be constrained by ICC profile of your system. Calibrate accordingly. do you know this to be true in resolve 16.1? thx!

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks for the information but I have been using a Video Card to the output video signals for 20 years (I have used Matrox, Blackmagic, Aja, and Bluefish to exclay bypass ICC). I know all of this. I think you misunderstood my review. I am talking about the viewport being in 10-bit. Until this summer, before NVidia supported 10-bit Open GL and 10bit support on pro apps on GeForce, you would have to use a Quadro to have 10bit in the viewports. I am not talking about the video out, I am talking about the viewports of Nuke, Photoshop, DaVinci, After Effects, etc (I mean desktop). In fact, I also talk about using the monitor as a reference monitor using a Blackmagic card too. On my review and on my current setup I have 2 BenQ. One connected to a Quadro to display 10bit on the desktop viewports of the Pro Apps and another BenQ used as a reference monitor using a Blackmagic Decklink. And yes, you are correct, I do this to bypass ICC. I hope that cleared it up. Thanks for watching it.

[@coloredcatpictures1231]

thanks for quick reply! Sorry, I may have not been very clear with my sloppy sentence structure. after my opening sentence I just cut and pasted BMD's response to my query. hoping to get your opinion on their response. since I wasn't sure I was truly getting 10 bit into my benq and was even more sceptical after watching your vid. I do plan on getting a decklink soon though. thanks again Hugo!

[@АнтонСавичев-й3р]

Hello Hugo! Thanx for great video. Question: how it can be No 100% Rec 709 but 100% sRGB? Isn't it same colorspace by it's coverage?

[@HugosDesk]

I thought that too but BenQ’s team told me it was not 100% re709. Not sure but maybe I can ask again.

[@FTGTapGod]

Great review. Very thorough. A couple of questions if you don't mind. Have you used the original PD3200U? If so, have you noticed any improvements or is it purely the addition of HDR? I'm a freelance DP, but I do a lot of my own color work and I've been using that monitor for about a year now. Similarly, have you used any of LGs higher end IPS panels? Their 34WK95U-W boasts 98% DCI-P3, HDR 600 with a peak luminance of 600 nits, HW Calibration, and a Nano IPS panel with local dimming and a contrast ratio of 1200:1. Seems very competitive. The 32UL950-W is very similar except 16:9. And in regards to your comments about professional hardware, I've been debating moving over to the Quadro line for quite some time. I currently edit in Resolve using a GTX 1080ti and a DeckLink 4k. Do you think moving to a Quadro RTX 4000 would give me any benefits over editing with the 1080ti and viewing the reference with a Decklink 4k? Cost is high with this genre of electronics made for professionals and there's not as much info/reviews out there for them. Thank you for any advice you may have and I appreciate the time and effort you put into this review.

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks so much for watching. Regarding your questions: Regarding the original PD3200U: Yes, I have used it before and the PD3220 is a massive improvement. Better uniformity, better delta, HDMI 2.0, 4 way PBP, HDR10, Puck 2.0, it is a huge improvement I think. Regarding the 34WK95U-W: Never used it and it does looks good but are you sure it is a 10-bit panel? Can't find any information on that. It is a Consumer monitor so I would probably say it is 8-bit but maybe I am wrong? I also can't find the delta value or any certification from Calman or Pantone. Not sure about this one. Regarding a Quadro: If you are editing professionally I would advise a Quadro. It will give you 10-bit on the viewport of DaVinci for example. Cheers

[@FTGTapGod]

@@HugosDesk Appreciate your response. That's great to hear. I had an sw320 before, but ran into a lot of QC issues. Had to return 2. Figured they might be skimping out on parts in order to punch really high for the price so I bought the pd3200u. Never any QC issues, but it definitely didn't perform as well so I've been looking for an upgrade ever since. And I was fairly certain it was 10bit because I remember asking LG at CES when they brought this panel to the show, but after more research It's using dithering to be able to claim those 1.07 billion colors. 8bit+frc is definitely not ideal. I've been seeing more and more consumer panels above the $1000 mark include true 10bit at shows, so I didn't question it when they told me. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Looks like I have some purchases on the horizon.

[@RandyLittleStudios]

If you are using the decklink you absolutely don't need a quadro since your color is coming off your decklink which is max 12bit off the hdmi and 10bit off the sdi outputs. So there is no point is running 10bit off the graphics card since that is not your color reference anyway. A decklink is also way better in terms of just the colorscience. IT also won't match since the whole point of using the decklink is to get your actual final output sent to a reference display.

[@HugosDesk]

​@@RandyLittleStudios I am talking about 2 very different things. The first one is the desktop being in 10-bit and the second one is the video output on a video card like the decklink. A Quadro/Radeon Pro (and not the GTX with the latest announcement from Siggraph) can give you full 10-bit support on the interface's viewport inside creative applications. This works well in PS, Nuke, DaVinci, etc. A Decklink/Aja/Bluefish card can give you a proper 10-bit video signal output using SDI or HDMI. Perfect for reference monitoring. For editorial and grading work I highly recommend using a video card like the Decklink/Aja/Bluefish to correctly preview frame rates and have the correct color science. But, if you want to be even more accurate you can use 10-bit in the desktop, this way you have 10-bit on the video out and also on the application viewport inside the desktop. That is what I am talking about. Hope it cleared it up. Thanks for watching

[@RandyLittleStudios]

@@HugosDesk if he has a decklink he doesn't need accurate color on his desktop since clearly the desklink is outputting what is in his viewers in proper color so the color of his desktop is irrelevant as long as his decklink is hooked up to a proper 10bit display. So there is no point is moving from his decklink to a Quadro which was his question. The answer is no if your output is the decklink there will be little advantage. Unless you really need your non reference viewers to be close to your 10bit reference which if you have good monitors would only be some banding maybe.

[@Crawltopia]

great review just what I needed to hear as a artist

[@gepardtilly]

I have a Dell Precision 7530 with Quandro P2000 4MB. Is it enough to drive this screen for office and Capture One Pro? I don't do any professional work, just occasional hobby photo and video editing sometimes. But after your review I think I would value the colour precision and accuracy in my screen. I was thinking to start edit my videos with DaVinci, and to get a bit better monitor than my current "office" screen, which is a decent IPS, but I start to feel the limitations. I also hesitate between 27" and 32" sizes. I guess you vote for 32"? How can I get a shading hood for this screen?

[@HugosDesk]

Well the 27 inch is more then enough, the 32 is very big so maybe 27 is fine! Regarding the shading hood you can get a 3rd party one on amazon, I have done that before

[@michaelgibson1365]

I'm looking into a low-cost color correction pipeline on iMac Pro or a new Mac Pro and notice the PVC monitors don't have a true 10-bit input. I thought USB-C - HDMI 2.0 and Displayport are the only options. Please let me know if you can lend some insight. Thanks Hugo!

[@HugosDesk]

All these monitors are 8-bit+FRC. They support 10-bit but they 2 last bits are simulated. This is common tech for this price point. Most 8-bit monitors are in fact 6-bit+FRC. The industry has been doing this for a while. To have true 10-bit you need to spend around $5K on a Eizo or the Apple XDR. Or get a reference monitor from Sony or Dolby for $25K.

[@magicdog5623]

Hi Hugo, thanks for your in depth review as i have been watching this monitor for some time now. One of my queries was concerning the brightness at only 300 nits. But i gather from previous questions you dont believe this is a draw back with this monitor? I just had another question regarding its movement. I know it rotates and tilts up and down, but does it swivel from side to side ? I have read a review that says you have move the whole monitor but i can see in your video the monitor at one point is s lightly swivelled on its base. Just wondered if you could confirm this. Kind regards

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching. Regarding the 300 nits, like I mention on the video all 10-but monitors on this range are 300 or 350 nits only. Even Eizo are also like that. This is normal because of the accuracy of the 10-bit and because of the high performance of the monitor. Regarding the swivel yes it does rotate a lot. Sorry I forgot to show this. It swivels 30 degrees. Thanks for the support

[@magicdog5623]

[@renejohnson5954]

The predecessor PD3200U had an internal fan. The predecessor was constantly hearing noise. How is it with the successor PD3220U? Does he also have an internal fan? Is it silent or are there noises?

[@HugosDesk]

I have been using it for 6 months and never hear anything from the monitor. But keep in mind I have a Mac Pro 6.1 (TrashBin) next to it. The Mac Pro is relatively quiet but it may be hard to hear the fan because of that. Anyway it seems like it is not bothering me at all.

[@SinusPrimus]

I received the BENQ PD3220U. I have two words for it: AWESOME and PERFECT! HDR Color Mode is really impressive! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Greetz from Switzerland

[@SinusPrimus]

After testing it for a few hours I must admit that the BenQ isn’t perfect. It makes very little noise from a fan or power supply. And the backlight produces some bright spots. In comparison to the screen of my EliteBook 850 G5 the colors are unnatural, to much saturated. I think I will send it back. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@HugosDesk]

Sorry to hear that. That was a quick change of heart! I am very happy with my BenQ PD3220. Have you tested diferente color profiles? It is a professional monitor so color reproduction is very accurate, I would not expect high saturation since that is not natural or good for professional work. When working you need a full range monitor, you can’t t have a lot of saturated or contrasted colours.

[@HugosDesk]

I am happy for you but also confused since this message says ‘perfect’ and the next one says you will return it. So what happen?

[@SinusPrimus]

@@HugosDesk Yes I tested different color profiles. "M-book" was my favorite. But none of them were neutral. And I didn`t have access to all functions with the Hotkey Puck. Color/ColorTemperature and Color/Advanced/Gamma, Hue, Saturation were not possible! I`m not a professional and I thought when this machine is factory calibrated it would run well without additional adjustments. And the bright backlight is really a problem for me because I use Windows10 in dark mode. My 7 years old EIZO EV2736W has some backlight issues too but it`s not so bad like the BenQ. Greetz from Switzerland :-)

[@HugosDesk]

@@SinusPrimus Well the M-book profile is for laptops. You using a Laptop? The most neutral mode is SRGB but it depends on what you are using the monitor for. SRGB if you are doing web design, Rec709 if you are doing Video, P3 if you need a wider gamut, etc. Beware if you pick a preselected profile then you can't change the settings. They are locked since they are factory calibrated. If you want to have access to all the setting you need to set it to 'User'. With this profile, you can do a custom profile or calibrate it yourself with a color meter.

[@itusvirus]

What about the issue with flickering BENQ monitors I read about in the amazon reviews? I am scared to order one only to discover the monitor flickers.

[@HugosDesk]

Not sure what you mean. I have 4 BenQ monitors, the PD3220, the SW320, the PV3200, and the PD2700 and never seen any flickering. Maybe they are running weird refresh rates? These monitors only accept 60hz.

Now I have a HP Z32 Monitor (4K UHD). My first impression: Pictures look much more natural with the settings out of the box. It has a little bit more warm white than my HP EliteBook850G5 (4K-UHD 15") and contrast is a bit less dynamic. But you see that only in direct A/B comparison. And it`s absolutely quiet. I can hear no fan inside. IPS-Glow and Backlight Bleeding could be better but this is only a problem in a very dark room. The only thing i changed in the settings was brightness from 90 to 100. I think for office and natural looking colors the HP Z32 is a very good choice. Greetz from Switzerland 😎👍

[@HugosDesk]

The HP Z32 Monitor looks ok on specs but it's not 100% SRGB and missing HDR. I think the BenQ is more complete, to be honest. But I am happy you are happy. Cheers from London.

@@HugosDesk Thank you for your answer! I`m not a pro like you. So I`m not so much interested at specs like you. I only trust my eyes and make a comparison to my EliteBook and my old EIZO EV2736W. Now I changed the settings of my NVIDIA GeForce GT1030 from 8 to 10-Bit. Now the picture is very DYNAMIC! And my Fotos look still very natural. Now it is even better than my new Laptop. For me it`s perfect. 🤩

[@HugosDesk]

What resolution are you running? The monitor is 4K natively

[@nikoviitala8159]

@@HugosDesk Did try both 4k and scaled down. When scaled down the text has small artifacts (eg when moving around the text it changes its rendering). When native all fonts just looks poor (and too small). The only exception is the titles of the OS X windows and navigations - which look okay. I've tried everything. The font smoothing option doesn't seem to have any effect eg on Chrome or Console.

[@HugosDesk]

@@nikoviitala8159 Not sure what it can be. Maybe contact BenQ support. I have never had any of these issues on my MacBook Air

[@nikoviitala8159]

@@HugosDesk I figured out it is a scaling problem and not a problem with the display. I made a test with photoshop making a 1px and 2px lines and moving those around on different scaling options. This is the feedback I sent Apple: "I just bought a 32" professional thunderbolt 3, 4k display (BenQ PD3220U). What I noticed, that when using MacOS display scaling, the pixels get distorted. Eg. if I have 1px wide pixel, it looks 1px wide in some part of the screen and 2px wide in another part of the screen. Depending on a placement, some two pixels might be shown on a screen as 3px or 4px wide. The scaling works correct only in case of 2x scaling (and when using the native resolution - no scaling). So I would have to use 1920x 1080 resolution for 32" monitor. So the options basically are 1920x1080 or 3840x2160, which neither are good options. Windows handles this in a different way. In their UI it is possible to just eg increase the font size a specific percentage => distortion never happens, unlike in OS X."

I learned a lot from your review. Keep up the good work. You could do more of this. Thank you! One suggestion for improvement: you could group your evaluation on the pros and cons on how important they are (must have, performance feature, and delighters). For example, it sounds to me that 100% sRGB is is a must have, while HW calibration would be a delighter. Also the hotkey puck is a delighter. But the shade is a must have.

Almost every ‘10-bit’ monitor is 8-bit+FRC. To have true 10-bit you need to get a much more expensive BenQ SW320 or a Eizo CG. I can guarantee you you won’t see the difference. Btw most people don’t know this but most 8-bit monitors are in fact 6-bit+FRC

Thanks, and what can you say about HDR ? This monitor has HDR-10 whereas for instance LG 32UL950 has HDR-600, will I see the difference between those HDR options ?

I had some problems at export and now with these many views, it's too late to delete and reupload. But the content should be fine!

You forgot to mention no sync...too bad since the similar spec/price LG product supports FreeSync.

[@HugosDesk]

I did not forgot. This is a professional 10-bit monitor. If you need a gaming monitor you should look for BenQ’s gaming range. As I mention these are for color accuracy and professional work like working in After Effects, DaVinci, Nuke, etc. Thanks for watching

background music... hello my old freind ... to loud again...

[@HugosDesk]

Well, I can't ever please everyone can I? But to be honest I do have a feeling this is your problem. No one ever complained about the music being too loud. Only you!

8bit + frc

[@HugosDesk]

Yes that is true! Just like ‘8bit’ monitors are actually 6bit + frc. To get a true 10bit monitor you are going to have to spend a lot more money then this model. bit emulation has been around for a long time and it works pretty well. I know from experience! I have a real 10bit display and I can’t see the difference and neither can’t my color meter. Anyway thanks for watching
