BenQRD320U 32” 4K 3840x2160 Programming Monitor with 2000:1 Contrast Ratio, Nano Matte Panel, Backlight, 90W USB-C, Coding Modes, Night Hours Protection, Ergonomic Design, and Eye-Care Technology

Pro’s: amazing vertical resolution on this monitor; those extra 256 pixels really come in handy. The aspect ratio makes it very useful to put side-by-side terminal windows for multiple machines. Quite a great monitor for productivity. The version with the Ergo arm has decent reach and makes it easy to turn to portrait orientation. Note that the portrait orientation only works in the counterclockwise direction, and that there is no way to set the monitor with the Ergo arm to the counterclockwise direction. While I originally expected to buy two of these monitors to use in portrait orientation, I no longer expect to do this given that a portrait orientation causes these monitors to be quite tall even at 28 inches. The last pro to mention is the beautiful and sturdy packaging of this monitor. BenQ makes incredibly intricate and robust packaging for all their products, from light bars to lamps.Cons: The color rendition of photos is quite lacking. There are often blown highlights compared to reference monitors like the Apple Studio display or the MacBook Pro m1 rscreen. The gamut of this monitor appears quite limited. Bright areas seem to have blown highlights rather quickly. I would not recommend using this monitor for any sort of photo or video editing. Many of my photos needed re-editing on a calibrated monitor despite using the Mac OS default color profile for this monitor. Other significant con would be that the price of this monitor has significantly increased over the last couple of months, possibly due to.

Owning the monitor for 5 months I can definitively say the this is the best monitor in the market. The resolution is impeccable. The antiglare coating makes placement near windows possible. The contrast and brightness levels suite every environment condition. The 28" condenses all the resolution into one eye pleasing monitor. Coming from a 38" ultrawide and having tested OLEDs, Q-LEDs, Nano-IPS, this outperforms all of it in eye care settings and in clear text. Eye strain is no more. Well worth the price.

The media could not be loaded. When I put this monitor in my office and connected it to my MBP, I felt like it was the right one. The setup and connection were quick, and the accessible port design made plugging cables easy.BenQ advertised this monitor as an ideal option for programmers, especially to reduce eye strain in the office, which is why I bought it. The finely coated panel and anti-reflective screen, along with eye care features like night protection mode, low blue light mode that adjusts from sunrise to sunset, and the back circle lighting, help save my eyes during long coding sessions.Another thing i like about this monitor is the 3:2 aspect ratio, which lets me see more code at once. The display pilot 2 is also useful for adjusting settings without constantly pressing buttons on the monitor. The color modes are good too, with Macbook mode and coding mode being my favorites. Macbook mode matches my MBP well, and coding mode makes the characters stand out, making it easier to read.Overall, if you work in an office with minimal natural light and care about eye protection, this monitor is impressive and helps reduce eye fatigue. I highly recommend it.

Pros:The text quality is outstanding sharp and clear, perfect for extended coding sessions.The monitor is heavy and pairs well with a strong monitor arm.The screen size allows for better productivity, displaying more lines of text at once.It reduces fatigue even after hours of work, making it ideal for tasks involving extensive text editing.BenQ Display Pilot 2 software works well on macOS.Cons:Although the monitor arm is sturdy, the monitor shakes slightly.The built-in speakers are of poor quality, with sound resembling mono output.The Display Pilot 2 software has minor glitches when used on Windows.A vertical line appeared on the left side of the screen, which seems to be a defect in this particular unit.Conclusion:Despite the defect in this unit, I would recommend this monitor to anyone working extensively with text due to its superior display quality and ergonomic design. I plan to exchange it for another one and give it another chance.
