Sure.
- Make sure to use DisplayPort and never HDMI. Alternatively, you can use the USB-C (data cable) port if your GPU has one (VirtualLink on RTX-Cards), or when connecting to laptop.
- Use sRGB preset primarily if you want to see correct colors in 3dsMax/Corona (they lack color management currently, so only sRGB will look correct and has to be enabled by monitor, not from Windows), selected from monitor's OSD menu (but BenQ has some Windows App which lets you select it from Windows as well).
- Then you can optionally (you don't need to!) calibrate the monitor using almost any sond on market (because it's W-LED backlit panel), but I prefer X-Rite.
- If you calibrate, use that calibrated profile in Windows (type 'Color managment' into start menu and override into manual mode for selected monitor and select your new profile). Keep sRGB in monitor's OSD.
- Don't be alarmed if your 3dsMax will look different after calibration. 3dsMax(and Corona) ignore Windows color management, they show the fullest gamut of OSD selected profile. Only color-managed applications like Photoshop will show correct colors.
- Alternatively, you can just keep sRGB profile in Windows as well, making your life simple. This effectively disables color managnement in Windows, but the factory calibration (in OSD) is good enough (for at least a year). So your colors will be still correct, or very very close.
- The accompanying BenQ app can automatize some of this, like correctly pair color-profile in Windows, with color-profile in Monitor OSD. They need to match. You can't select P3 mode in OSD menu for example and have sRGB profile in Windows.
(For every profile in OSD, you need individual software calibration and resulting profile. But you don't need to make them yourself, they come together as a driver from BenQ.)
- Outside of the app (which I didn't try), you can use the puck to switch between modes. I don't know if it automatically switches both Windows and OSD profile at same time.
If the above sounds complicated, that's because Windows color management is shit.
