High Dynamic Range BenQ PD2700U Professional Monitor with Anti Glare Screen - 3840x2160 HD Review

My original intention was to buy a monitor that would allow me to play and stream UHD (4K) content on a decent sized desktop monitor. I did some research on 27 inch monitors and found that for the price listed in the specs, the BENQ is hard to beat. The specs are clearly laid out, as are the various test reports, from printed texts to videos (on YouTube etc.). I currently have an older model. Macbook Pro (connected and higher quality streamer is NVidia Shield TV which can stream 4K as well as…

OVERVIEW A good everyday monitor for all visual creatives who need decent picture quality with 4K capabilities. I liked the solid construction, easy height adjustment. Not the best color accuracy (Delta E < 3) and contrast/detail in tonal ranges. Not the brightest monitor. WHY DID I BUY? I'm a full-time commercial photographer and filmmaker. Display quality and color accuracy are what I look for in my monitors. I only bought this monitor for work to make my screen bigger when editing…

The PD3220U is perfect for digital imaging as BenQ says next to nothing about Adobe RGB performance but offers P3 performance. It's also an improvement over the PD3200U. It may lack a variable refresh rate, making it not gaming oriented. That particular omission aside, it pretty much has everything you need: a puck controller for control, USB3.1c, a KVM switch, multiple inputs, the ability to swap color profiles on the fly, and even display two profiles at the same time. It's relatively…

The BenQ PD3200U monitor was purchased after experimenting with other monitors like the VIOTEK GN32DA 32-inch monitor which was dull, grainy text and ghosting even at 144MHz. I needed a business monitor for graphic design (Adobe and Office apps) that could also be used as a gaming monitor for the Battlefield franchise, specifically the "V" game at the time of writing this post. I'm using Windows 10, so I'll give some hints on how to set it up. Click Settings > Ease of Access > Display and

I've been using the Asus PQ321Q 31.5" 4K Display with various Macs since 2014. Back then, the picture quality was better than anything I've used and I was very happy with this monitor. It had its quirks, including a complicated user interface, but the picture made up for it, and once set up I was rarely confused.Various OS updates caused problems when resuming from hibernation and required sudden turning on and off.It got more and more annoying as time went on, but eventually did I always…

I had a great 24" Viewsonic but it's about 5 years old. I'm older and have poor eyesight which is made worse by sitting in front of a computer 12 hours a day. Did I want to go to 32"? I've read so many reviews about monitors that my eyes are crossed. If I went to 32", I would have to upgrade my graphics card, which I really didn't want to do. I'm not a gamer, so I didn't think it was worth the extra cost. That was my deciding factor in choosing a 27 -"TV. Enough of my background. Now here's…

TL;DR: Great monitor. Large stand, prone to shaking, monitor hum is not conducive to working with sound. I originally bought this to replace an outdated 30" Apple Cinema display in my home project studio. I mainly work with audio and occasionally edit images/videos. Thing is pretty amazing. The picture is good and crisp, the screen size is definitely a plus, I like the built in USB hub (one less thing on my desk) and the included washer is actually very handy. Overall this is a great monitor…

It's hard to choose a monitor. Ratings are everywhere, depending on the person's usage. And review sites (with the exception of Revain) can't always be trusted. However, I focused on the BenQ PD3220U and ended up buying another one. While they don't have as many NITS brightness levels as Apple's OLEDs, they're still great for photography, design, and writing. I use them for all three, and I particularly like the ability to set options through the BenQ app. This allows me to segment the screen…

I was very nervous about buying another brand - I've always used an Apple display for my graphic design work for the past 15 years, but this time I just didn't want to spend that much money. A photographer friend of mine recommended this monitor to me and I read a lot of positive reviews online. This monitor has exceeded my expectations and I really can't tell my Apple display from this one, at least in what I do. I highly recommend it for graphic designers.

I upgraded from a 27" Benq 1080p to a PD2500Q. 1080p is great on a TV but a bit washed out on a monitor. The new monitor works as expected: no dead pixels, colors are great and the picture is sharp. I have explored the resolution/screen size issue quite closely. Here I provide a handy table that will minimize the blizzard of resolution numbers. I will discuss the 4K option. Finally, there was a setup issue that was easily resolved and I will specify the steps I followed. First the solution. If…

We use them for CAD, we've tried many monitors over the years but none of them even come close in terms of image quality. On a scale of 1 to 10, everything else is 1, this monitor is a 1000.

We have 3 of these and we love them. We use them in a dual monitor setup where they are paired with a much more expensive graphics monitor. Aside from the very picky colors, which we're probably only seeing because we have a comparison, they're very similar in quality to high-end monitors.
