Grayscale, color fidelity, saturation and gamut to factory settings
The BenQ Mobiuz EX3415R has proven its gaming suitability. Now let’s see if we can do something with the monitor in terms of color accuracy – related to productivity. The minimum is always the content in the sRGB color space. This is where most of the action happens (YouTube, Office, Web, etc.). Anything above that would be a bonus.
Color space coverage
LG display typically gives DCI-P3 and sRGB enough, but for the Adobe RGB users? Difficult. It is good that BenQ only advertises the 98 percent P3 at this point. I measure only 95 percent here, and that corresponds to a deviation of three percent. Attention: Different measurement tools = no truth, but certainty. For me, it fits.
Gray Scale, Saturation, ColorChecker @ Default Setting
By default, color performance is far from accurate. This is not surprising for me, since the LG panel was run in wide gamut out of the box. I was surprised by the gamma deviation. Here I measure close to gamma 2.6, and that would even fit in the end. Because we remember my basics articles, there I pointed out that the DCI-P3 color space was defined with gamma 2.6. So far so good, but then BenQ should have set a white point of 6300 Kelvin. We are a long way from that. The fact is, if you use the default mode, you either have to calibrate or live with the deviations. Most gamers won’t care in the end. But we still have two more options.
Gray Scale, Saturation, ColorChecker @ User Mode
Here, the white point is more suitable if you use the D65 as a basis. Gamma 2.6 and D65 don’t really fit either. Now the sRGB mode has to fix it!
Gamut, Gray Scale, Saturation, ColorChecker @ sRGB Mode
There you go. The best factory calibrated sRGB mode I have seen so far. What I have to mention at this point: BenQ does not advertise this calibration. You just do it and even perfectly. You can really do something with that. Praise and recognition!
HDR mode
As the saying goes: no arms – no cookies! Or to put it another way, without HDR hardware – it won’t work. The BenQ Mobiuz EX3415R does not have any dimming, which means that high-contrast scenes in particular cannot really be rendered accurately. Of course, the maximum peak brightness of 400 nits can be reached with the HDR mode. However, this does not make the EX3415R a true HDR monitor. I don’t have to write much more about it. Let’s rather take a look at the default performance compared to the other monitors.
