Choosing an appropriate color mode

Your monitor provides various color modes that are suitable for different types of images. See
Color Mode on page 50
Go to Color > Color Mode for a desired color mode.
The computer's color profile (ICC profile) may not best suit your monitor. If you want to make sure to obtain the
accurate color matching representation, change the computer's ICC profile to ensure the computer works better
with the monitor. Visit www.BenQ.com

Working with two video sources (KVM Switch)

If you have two computer systems, you might find yourself busy going back and forth between
two sets of keyboard and mouse to control each display separately. Now with the KVM feature
and sufficient I/O ports on one monitor, you can work with one set of keyboard and mouse
only.
To use KVM Switch feature, toggle between Thunderbolt 3 or USB Upstream under KVM
Switch.
• KVM Switch > Thunderbolt 3: Switches to the Thunderbolt™ 3 input.
• KVM Switch > USB Upstream: Switches to one of the video inputs other than
Thunderbolt™ 3. With appropriate setting, the display is switched to the set input while the
keyboard and mouse control is switched as well. To determine the input, see
second video source for KVM Switch before use on page
You can designate one of the custom keys to KVM Switch to toggle between the options
quickly. See Customizing the hot keys on page
Setting up the second video source for KVM Switch before use
One of the video source is pre-defined to be transmitted via Thunderbolt™ 3 and cannot be
changed. The other source can come from other available inputs and should be set
appropriately in advance.
1. Connect the second video source to one of the video inputs other than Thunderbolt™ 3
on the monitor using an appropriate cable.
2. Press the 5-way controller to bring up the hotkey menu, and select
the main menu.
3. Go to KVM Switch > Video Input.
