I honestly have no idea what causes this error. The many markings in the ICC profile mean little to me. However, the only thing I noticed is that the ICC profiles generated with PMU take up a lot of space compared to others – 12.6MB. It is strange why so much, it can cause an error?
Still, we can’t complain – the software calibrates very well. But for idealists like me, such partial clipping of animations is annoying and contradicts the assumptions of macOS.

Which error? PMU calibration errors on white point? It is likely to depend on WP variation across brightness scale (QC). Ask benq to make more steps in the WP+luminanbce target aproximation, then measure the 18 calibration patches for the LUT. Or apply an xy offset.
But by statistical chance, yours was not affected by this PMU issue, so you meant macOS animation issue.

Qcal tag, report to BenQ both profiles and your issues.

You should because it does not… actually mievaan2 should complain to them because due to these QC issues his PME does not (fail to aim to target and PMU acknowledges it, by stored WP in profile), and you should complain about profile compatibility, ask for an option on PMU to create vanilla, simple, over idealized matrix profile.

macOS assumptions is “buy our HW and out of the box it wil behave close to what it should” … and this assumption does not apply with a benq (or an eizo, there where issues aboyt wrong prixel format on first macOS for M1 and it was apple’s fault)

I keep talking about the animation bug…
Of course, I’m going to write to BenQ Support.You should because it does not… actually mievaan2 should complain to them because due to these QC issues his PME does not (fail to aim to target and PMU acknowledges it, by stored WP in profile), and you should complain about profile compatibility, ask for an option on PMU to create vanilla, simple, over idealized matrix profile.
Honestly I asked a few other BenQ users. Models SW240 and others. None of the 8 people encountered this problem. Each model gets the perfect WP when calibrated with the PMU. Mievaan2 seems to have encountered a single problem with a faulty monitor. Or he just didn’t wait for the monitor to stabilize after turning it on – I can’t see any other explanation here…
So I calibrated again using a small offset as suggested by @Vincent. Results look better now.
It seems good! The gray balance is fine. Let Vincent take another look at it.
And I have a personal request – can you check the uniformity of your panel on as many control fields as possible in DisplayCAL?. I would appreciate if you do the first test in factory AdobeRGB mode and the next test in hardware calibration mode. Thank you in advance.
