FAQs

• What is Pantone Validated?

  Pantone is a globally recognized color system used by several industries to ensure color consistency across different media. The SL04 is both Pantone® Validated and Pantone® SkinTone™ Validated, which means that our displays have passed Pantone's rigorous standards for accurate color reproduction and matching.

• What color modes are available?

  The SL04 offers five different color modes that suit how you use the display: Pantone mode is designed for color accuracy with Pantone and Pantone SkinTone colors; M-book mode ensures consistent colors with MacBook laptops; High-detail mode enhances contrast and clarity; Sketch mode lowers blue light, adds warmth, and converts images to grayscale; Cinema mode presents video in more vivid color and depth.

• Can I use my laptop with the SL04?

  Yes. You can connect your Windows laptop or MacBook to the SL04 using an HDMI cable or InstaShare, our wireless screen sharing solution. When using HDMI, you can even use M-book mode to match the color accuracy on your MacBook and the SL04 display.

• How do I choose the right brightness level for my signage?

  The brightness of digital signage should match the environment. For indoor settings, a brightness level of 350 to 500 nits is generally sufficient. However, environments with high ambient light, such as cafeterias, gymnasiums, and certain classrooms, may require displays with 800 nits or more for optimal visibility.

• What is haze in a digital signage, and how does it affect screen visibility?

  Haze refers to a screen treatment that reduces glare by diffusing light. Higher haze levels improve visibility in bright environments by minimizing reflections, making content easier to read under ambient lighting. For digital signage in areas with strong lighting or direct sunlight, a haze value of 25% or more is recommended to enhance screen readability and reduce eye strain.

• Does the SL04 support portrait mode?

  Yes, the SL04 can be used in both portrait and landscape mode.

• Does the SL04 have a digital signage content management system?

  Yes, with X-Sign, our cloud-based digital signage platform, you can design, schedule, and manage any content remotely for all your BenQ displays from a single console.

• Is the SL04 secure?

  Yes. The SL04 has several security features including user and board access controls, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, regular security patches through firmware updates, and Google Play Protect. It is also compliant with international data security standards such as GDPR, CCPA, and PSTI.
