With 125 PPI, text and interface elements appear detailed and sharp.

IPS Technology with 178° Viewing Angles

The RD240Q uses an IPS panel designed to provide consistent colours and image quality across the screen.

Its 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles allow the display to remain clear when viewed from different positions.

This is particularly useful when working in collaborative environments or when the monitor is positioned as part of a multi-display workstation.

95% P3 Colour Gamut

The RD240Q supports a wide 95% P3 colour gamut, allowing it to reproduce a broad range of colours.

With support for 1.07 billion colours, the monitor can display smooth colour transitions and detailed shades.

While primarily designed for programming, the wider colour gamut also makes the RD240Q suitable for general multimedia, content consumption and colour-conscious productivity work.

Dedicated Coding Modes for Developers

Programming is at the heart of the RD240Q’s design.

BenQ’s dedicated Coding Modes are designed to improve the visibility of code and help developers distinguish characters and syntax more easily.

The monitor provides two dedicated coding themes:

• Coding – Dark Theme
• Coding – Light Theme

These modes are designed around different coding environments and personal preferences.

Users can quickly switch between dark and light coding themes depending on the application, time of day or working environment.

Superior Code Differentiation

Clear code visibility is essential during long development sessions.

The RD240Q’s coding-focused display modes are designed to improve font clarity and code differentiation, helping developers distinguish characters and elements within complex code.

This can be particularly useful when working with:

• HTML
• CSS
• JavaScript
• Python
• Java
• C++
• SQL
• PHP
• Other programming languages

The goal is to provide a more comfortable and efficient environment for reading and writing code over extended periods.

Coding HotKey & Function Bar

The RD240Q features a dedicated Coding HotKey integrated into its function bar.

With a quick press, users can immediately access the monitor’s coding-focused display environment.

This eliminates the need to navigate through multiple on-screen menus when switching into a programming-oriented display configuration.

The Function Bar is designed to make frequently used controls easier to access while maintaining a clean and efficient workspace.

Display Pilot 2 for Smarter Productivity

BenQ Display Pilot 2 provides software-based control over the monitor and introduces several productivity-focused features.

Users can organise and access functions such as:

• Shortcuts
• Desktop Partition
• Application Mode
• Software Dimming
• Circadian Mode
• Display settings
• Coding functions

This makes it easier to customise the monitor according to different applications and workflows.

Application Mode for Automatic Display Settings

With Application Mode, users can assign specific display modes to individual applications.

The monitor remembers frequently used settings and can apply the selected configuration when launching supported applications.

For developers, this can be useful when working across multiple environments, such as an IDE, browser, terminal and documentation window.

For example, a user can configure a coding-specific mode for their IDE while using another display configuration for web browsing or media applications.

Desktop Partition for Multitasking

Desktop Partition helps users organise multiple windows across the display.

This is useful for developers who frequently work with several applications at the same time.

A typical programming workspace might include:

• IDE
• Browser
• Terminal
• Documentation
• Communication application

Organising these windows efficiently can reduce unnecessary window switching and improve workflow efficiency.

90W USB-C One-Cable Connectivity

One of the RD240Q’s key productivity features is its 90W USB-C connectivity.

A compatible USB-C connection can carry:

• Display signals
• Video
• Data
• Power

This allows compatible laptops and devices to connect to the monitor using a single cable while receiving up to 90W power delivery.

For laptop-based developers, this can significantly simplify desk setups by reducing cable clutter.

USB-C Daisy Chaining

The RD240Q supports Multi-Stream Transport (MST) through compatible USB-C configurations, allowing users to extend their workspace across multiple displays.

This can be valuable for developers who require additional screen space for code, documentation, debugging tools, terminals and browser windows.

Important Mac Compatibility Note

BenQ specifies that Mac and MacBook devices support display daisy chaining via Thunderbolt, rather than standard USB-C. Daisy chaining is not supported through HDMI or regular USB ports.

BenQ also notes that Mac devices using M1 or M2 chips support a single external display under the specified configuration.

Users should verify their specific Mac model and Apple-supported external-display capabilities before planning a multi-monitor daisy-chain setup.

Intelligent Circadian Mode

The RD240Q incorporates BenQ Low Blue Light Plus with Circadian Mode.

Circadian Mode is designed to automatically adjust the display’s colour temperature throughout the day to more closely follow natural changes in daylight.

This can create a more comfortable viewing environment, particularly for users who work for extended periods or continue programming into the evening.
