Uniformity Control Guided by Human Visual Perception

How AQCOLOR Technology Works

Uniform Color Accuracy for Creative Pros Who Demand Precision

Uniformity Control

Full Screen Calibration Beyond the Center Point

AQCOLOR uniformity calibration delivers consistent accuracy across the entire screen, exactly how the eye perceives it. Moving beyond the industry standard of referencing only the center point, BenQ applies full screen calibration with micro-zone correction to ensure optimal uniformity across the entire screen.

The result of BenQ’s full screen calibration, we achieve corner-to-corner uniformity, eliminating the dirty screen effect.

Color Tolerance Management

Most brands stop at "factory calibrated." BenQ AQCOLOR goes further with an exclusive dual-level calibration process:

1. At the instrument level, all measurement devices are aligned to a single reference standard with near-zero deviation tolerance.

2. At the batch level, each display is cross-checked to achieve consistent colors across multiple screens.

Whether you’re using one display or a multi-monitor setup, AQCOLOR guarantees unified color perception across every screen – essential for post-production, dual workstations, and any workflow where consistency is required.

Industry Standards Compliance

from Rec.709, DCI-P3, Adobe RGB and Beyond

AQCOLOR meets every professional color standard – Rec.709 and DCI-P3 for video, AdobeRGB for print, and more

AQCOLOR meets every professional color standard – Rec.709 and DCI-P3 for video, Adobe RGB for print, and more. Compliance is just the foundation, and AQCOLOR adds precision enhancements for consistently reliable color across all formats.

ITU-R Rec. 709 defines critical targets for gamma, color gamut, white point, luminance and uniformity

For example, ITU-R Rec. 709 defines critical targets for gamma, color gamut, white point, luminance and uniformity. AQCOLOR exceeds these standards with proprietary features such as Dark Tone Accuracy Adjustment, preserving tonal fidelity even in deep shadows for professional editors and colorists. 

Dark Tone Accuracy Adjustment

Rec.709 requires precise Gamma 2.4 control for accurate grading and consistent playback on platforms like Netflix and YouTube. Even small deviations, especially in shadows, can lead to banding, crushed blacks, or unexpected color shifts when gamma calibration is not properly maintained.

BenQ AQCOLOR addresses this with Dark-First Gamma Adjustment, a precision algorithm that smooths gradation from black upward to preserve critical shadow detail and minimize tonal distortion, effectively preventing the common black crush issue.

FAQ

Q1. What is AQCOLOR Technology?

AQCOLOR is BenQ’s exclusive technology that ensures screen-to-screen consistency, uniformity, and industry-standard compliance for creative professionals.

 

Q2. How is AQCOLOR different from conventional factory calibration?

Factory calibration typically measures only the geometric center of the screen, which can allow color and brightness variations across the display. AQCOLOR applies full screen calibration with micro-zone corrections over the entire panel to minimize color tolerance from center to corner. Each display is also verified against industry standards through third-party validation, ensuring uniform, consistent, and accurate color you can trust for professional deliverables.

 

Q3. Which monitors feature AQCOLOR?

AQCOLOR technology is integrated into BenQ PD, PV, and SW Series monitors, purpose-built for designers, video editors, and photographers.

 

Q4. Why is AQCOLOR Technology ideal for Rec.709 video editing?

With Dark-First Gamma Adjustment, AQCOLOR adheres to Rec.709 Gamma 2.4 and ensures accurate black levels, smooth gradation in shadows, and minimized banding—perfect for Netflix, YouTube, and broadcast content.
