Highlights of PD2500Q
Designed to meet the rising demands for medium-sized viewing and ultra-high
definition, the PD2500Q boasts a 25-inch 2K display built with BenQ's advanced IPS
technology, providing professionals with ultra-precise color rendition (100% sRGB
color/Rec.709).
With BenQ’s three revolutionary modes – CAD/CAM Mode, Animation Mode, and
Darkroom Mode, designers can benefit from enhanced efficiency by bringing out the
details of intricate designs into view. CAD/CAM Mode offers superior contrast on 3D
color lines to keep each distinct from the rest. Animation Mode enhances the
brightness of dark areas without over-exposing bright image areas. Darkroom Mode
creates the optimal display setting for work in darker post-processing environments.
PD2500Q applies Edge-to-Edge design, slimmer boarder with more style. With the
slim boarder PD2500 is able to display the continued picture when combining two or
more monitors.
The embedded daisy-chaining technology allows the user to output screen to up to 4
monitors*. The DP-out feature is created for the multi-monitor scenario to fulfill the
need of larger work space. Multiple monitors may be connected with one
display/mini-display cable only, which minimizes the wiring effort yet maximizes
working area for designers.
*The supported number of monitors for connection may vary by the choice of
graphic card.

Design Concept
To support the visual-intensive work required in the fields of animation, industrial
design and commercial design, BenQ engineers have been working on the PD2500Q
to develop a wide 25 inch Edge-to-Edge 2K monitor for designers to allow for sharper
and detailed images artwork. The generous working space would provide designers
ample room to work comfortably on their digital art. The PD2500Q monitor has an
ergonomic design and several eye protection features to alleviate the stress that
comes with long hours spent in front of the computer. With different display mode,
the designer is able to adjust colors of the artwork in a more convenient way to
increase the efficiency.
