BenQ and Pantone’s partnership began in 2015, where BenQ was the world’s first professional monitor brand to be awarded Pantone Validated certification, a trusted symbol of colour fidelity for consumers buying displays and printers. Since, BenQ has produced more Pantone Validated monitors than any other manufacturer in the world. In addition, BenQ also became the world’s first monitor maker to achieve Pantone SkinTone Validated for 110 skin tones, delivering the most inclusive technology products to accurately represent the world’s true colours.
"Having forged AQColor Technology, BenQ is proud to be a longstanding partner to the global community of colour professionals who trust the Pantone system to deliver accurate colours” said Grace Tran, BenQ Australia and New Zealand Product Marketing Manager. "Pantone is the world’s leading authority on colour, and at BenQ, we share the same passion for colour accuracy and accessibility. We have worked very closely to provide the best monitors in the world for photographers, video editors, and designers and look forward to further supporting our customers with these additional tools through our partnership.”
Today, BenQ and Pantone mutually agree that “Colour Matters” by equipping creative professionals to design confidently and accurately with a free one-year subscription to Pantone Connect. ”At Pantone, our goal is to empower the modern creator to be able to be inspired and create wherever they may be. With Pantone Connect, our goal is to provide this flexibility by enabling colour data to be communicated and produced consistently at every stage of the design and production process. We are so excited to work with BenQ to continue to provide opportunity and access for creative professionals to realise their true colour vision”, said Jung Sin, Pantone Connect Product Manager. In addition to being shareable across team structures, Pantone Connect allows colours to be saved and stored securely in the cloud, accessed from anywhere, and used in all Adobe® design programs.
The free one-year subscription of Pantone Connect Premium (value of USD $89.99 ex GST) is available to existing owners and new purchasers of select BenQ professional monitors and will be available through to September 30, 2023 or until redemption code supplies last. For photographers, the colour accuracy and screen-to-print colour consistency of BenQ PhotoVue SW Series achieves a brand-new stage with Pantone Connect.
