Tommy, one of the differences with new MacBook Pros is the absence of a separate graphics card. Graphics are handled by the M1 chip. Also, there is no display port on that computer. The preferred connection is though the USB-C port on the cable BenQ supplies.

Since I never had a mac computer or laptop , I wasn't sure . I hope using the USB-C port will allow calibrating and then correct validation of the calibration . The Benq monitors I got also said to use a USB 3.0 to connect to the monitors .
Thanks for the info for MacBook , Tommy

My BenQ came with all of the proper cables to connect my iMac. For my MacBook Pro with the M1 chip, I just had to buy the cable for the new MacBook that plugs into my port on the side and it has the HDMI to plug into the BenQ. So my desktop is connected and my MacBook can be connected if I want to edit photos after I come home from a two day trip.

Yes just plug in your calibration device into the usb 3.0 into your BenQ, then run it. Most newer desktops have a USB 3.0 port. Actually, and don’t do this with your computer. Just download Pallet Master on your computer as you will be running off of it. But, plug your calibrater into the side of the BenQ to calibrate or which ever device that you buy do the same steps as I have put here. I’m in the middle of something right now so if you need better directions just let me know. I will tell you how to set the calibration steps or the numbers on how to do for a proper calibration. It si very easy.

I use a Benq SW2700 for calender, book publications plus normal photo editing. I have two profiles set. 1 is set for my prepress work (5,800K - 80 luminance) and 2 is set up for photo editing ( D65 - 120 Luminance). I can switch from one calibration to another at any time and the Palette Master Elements software calibrates directly to the monitor not the video card. It's a excellent monitor.
I set my luminance to 110. BenQ says that you can use the Luminance from 80-120. Make sure to check System level and set to V4. Also set the monitor to advanced. One final note, make sure that you set to large patch and 16 bit LUT. Black level should be set to relative. I have mine set to Adobe RGB as all of the best labs like BayPhoto and Artmill can run Adobe RGB, you can always use rsgb for web use, as you can save the edit in TIFF upon export to Lightroom Classic CC library and and a folder in your computer. Then you can pull it up and send the srgb to the web and you will still have your TIFF image that you can send to the Professional Lab.

I think I missed led some members . I don't have any Mac computers . I use windows 10 and Linux Mint 19.3 . I have no problems calibrating my Benq monitors ,Tommy
