Acer ProDesigner BM320 4K – A Monitor for Designers
Introduction
This is still a question about monitors: what buyers need more – highly precise specifications of the image or gaming versions.
4K Monitors for professional graphical design usually got less attention that their gaming analogues. But they are important for a number of users too.
Acer decided to fill in this gap and made ProDesigner BM320 4K specially for professional graphics. Its alternative name is Acer BM320. As Acer claims, ProDesigner BM320 is provided with precise color rendering, large display size for easy development of projects, and with brilliant color managing functions.
Let’s investigate these and other Acer ProDesigner BM320 characteristics.
Design
You will find the device in the carton filled with protection blocks.
Inside there is HDMI, a cable for audio connection, DisplayPort, USB cables, and an IEC cord for the internal power supply.
The chassis is thin enough and there are bezels of 10mm on the top and both sides.
As for 25 pounds, Acer has produced a massive display. The anti-glare layer (3H hardness) makes a totally indefectible look when the device is turned off.
On the right back side there are controls containing four buttons and a joystick.
The input panel contains one HDMI 2.0, two v1.2 DisplayPorts (one mini), and a DVI input. Here you can also find USB ports (v3.0).
At the bottom there is blue LED light that falls geometrically and differs the monitor from others.

(726 x 472-615 x 284mm)
Panel Thickness — 2.3" (58mm)

Closer View
It’s a 32” IPS screen with Ultra HD resolution, 10-bit native color depth, factory calibration, and a solid chassis that has to provide long-lasting work. All these characteristics make the given monitor worthy attention. The panel boasts of a pixel density of 137ppi. It has the flicker-free function and DVI for compatibility with nearly any video card. Calibration is taken into consideration and certified with a data sheet.
One of the main features of the given monitor is an opportunity to control the colors. There are three color modes for Adobe RGB, sRGB, and Rec.709.
Acer assures, that their device can provide 100% color gamma of Adobe RGB and can manage with 90% of DCI-P3 colors in color gamma.
Also Acer equipped their monitor with 10-bit display with more than 1 billion colors.
ProDesigner BM320 has two inbuilt inner speakers with 2 W for the channel.
The panel is based on the technology of In-Plane Switching (IPS), and promises rich colors and wide viewing angles. For comparison, the oldest and most widely used Twisted Nematic (TN) technology provides better brightness and response time, which makes such screens more suitable for computer games. IPS panels are ideal for precision in color applications, such as photo editing, graphic design, etc.
The monitor provides 6-axis color control for better adjustment of color tone and saturation of exact colors which designers need. It also offers «super-sharpness» packages, that’s why low-resolution images have a bit better edges.
Can you imagine that Acer tests each panel before sending? They want to be sure about the accuracy of the Delta-E color rendering with the smallest difference in hues the human eye can see.
ComfyView technology diminishes screen glare and, as a result, decreases visual stress caused by watching a bright monitor for a long time.
Acer ProDesigner BM320 is accessible at the official website for not small price of $ 1300.
As for usability, the monitor is provided with one of the «ErgoStands» stands by Acer, which allows bending the monitor from -5 to 25 degrees, turning ± 90 angle degree and 45 degrees to any direction. The movements are easy and soft. A portrait mode is possible too.
It is also supplied with the frame named «ZeroFrame», that assures the minimal distance to the monitor. Such a service allows users to connect several BM320 monitors. Additionally, ProDesigner is adapted for the VESA wall fixation.
In case you are searching a huge reliable monitor and not eager to spend time on calibration, this device will be perfect for you.
Conclusion
ProDesigner BM320 4K displays the Adobe RGB gamut to ideal extent and has equally accurate presets for sRGB and Rec.709. Acer has made a leap in a more suitable 2.4 gamma for 709, which will be interesting to photo and video editors.
The BM320 is a solid monitor. Its factory-calibrated modes are more than adequate and are simple in regulation. Also its brightness remains adaptable in different modes.
It’s difficult to find a good buy in this category, especially when the customer requires a wide gamut. The new desktop monitor Acer ProDesigner BM320 should be a perfect solution for graphic designers, video editors, and for those who are not afraid to spend quite a big sum of money. For the price the BM320 offers good performance and accuracy.
It is the first monitor in the new line of Acer ProDesigner BM Series, so we are to expect the following ones.
