Really looking forward to an in-depth video on this monitor. 😀
:D
Got mine a week back. was using the 2700U earlier had to upgrade to 32. it's a good monitor for the price. I do graphic design work.
Very nice!
Thank You @@ArtIsRight
Always appreciate your knowledgable and in-depth videos Art, especially when it comes to monitors since I'm still looking to upgrade. Looking forward to the full review along with the EX3210U!
I appreciate that!
Great as usual. Looking forward to the complete review. The price seems to be very interesting, as well
Thanks
You bet!
Please show a full white screen and a full black screen. Eizo CG319X has a terrible vignetting on the sides and the top, but it has pretty good blacks.
Monitor reviews should get Vincent Teoh level of review. The only way to really know the product value with their strengths and weaknesses
This is just the unboxing. Full review to come later. As far as review goes, I'll give it my level of review which is more than many of the skimming the surface type reviews out there.
@@ArtIsRight I'm aware of the "UA-cam Monitor Review Standard" and you're on the Top, Art. Based on this concept I think that creative targeted monitors could get much more detailed information on reviews as TVs get.
With that said I think that you set a great mark on this topic and I really hope that you can improve it as things goes on.
Thank you, always looking to add new and varying perspective! And yes you are right, there's always room for more granular details. Thanks for the feed back! :D
Thanks for the preview Art! I am in the market for a display for my 16" MBP and this looks like it might fit the bill. The main uses would be graphic design and photography. I didn't see a mention of Adobe RGB coverage. Hopefully you will cover all of that in your review. Looking forward to it!
Thank you!
Mac os has a very wierd scaling and due to that reason 32inch 4k display does affect your performance . And it is quite visible performance hit if you are into graphic intensive work...
Watch this video it explains much better than I could explain in the comment section here.. hope it helps
ua-cam.com/video/kpX561_XM20/v-deo.html
Hi Jovis. Yes, I am aware of the way Mac OS scales. I had already watched the video you linked as well. I am currently running a 4K display for my MacBook and haven’t seen any noticeable difference in performance. Lightroom, Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator are very responsive without any lag or performance issues that I can see. Thank you for the heads up though as some people, like yourself, may notice the issue and have it bother them.
The reason why it is based on this ua-cam.com/video/OmY89orgzuQ/v-deo.html the intro talks about scaling and resolution. This said the M series chip are much better than intel and will run into way less issues but it is not issue free. The thing is that 5K scaling does almost the same thing, you are pushing more pixels out. Apple computer since the retina displays came out have been pushing the GPU to the brink of what is possible. This said, a lot of people tend to forget that the M series chip has a Display Engine on the chip in addition to the GPU that helps with this load as well.
@@jovisjoseph The person who posted that often mentioned video is running a 13inch M1 MacBook Pro, I am not sure anyone running a M1 Pro/Max/Ultra or even an M2 would notice or complain about the scaling slowdown. I have never seen actual data on what to expect as far as a performance hit. Meanwhile a huge number of professionals use 4k monitors on macs. I am shopping for monitors and I am only interested in 32inch color accurate monitors, so if I go for more that 4k, that limits me to what the $6000 Apple offering or a couple of even more expensive choices? No thanks, I will take my chances with one of the many 32inch 4k monitors on the market that offer great color accuracy.
Hey, great video. Is there a full review of this display?
This would be it for this model
@@ArtIsRight Aaahh, too bad. I really wanted to know more about this panel.
Thank you, i bought this monitor for my M1 macbook pro. I am not sure why i have these issues
-There is an option to choose USB Configuration in the menu
if i choose USB C 3 GEN1, the full screen play back of any video will be stopped after some seconds and system will stop working. The SSD speed i can achieve through the the usb c port on the side of the monitor will be half of the speed of a normal usb c port on M1 MacBook and USB A port is almost useless in terms of speed.
- If i choose USB 2 option in the menu, the fulll screen error will be gone and both USB ports on the side of the monitor is really slow.
It has to with 4K and a limited USB C bandwidth limit. And it has to do with choosing between those 2 options.
Hi, at the end of video you mention a review of the pd3205u. I cant find it. Did you ever complete a full review? Regards
my apologies, I have not on this model.
I just bought the PD3205UA. I have it hooked up to my Mac Studio running Ventura. I can’t get it to connect to my Mac. All I get is the “please press the monitor button to select correct input source”. Which one is the monitor button? There’s nothing that indicates what the monitor button is in the brief setup manual. I can’t connect either by hdmi or usb-c. If a product is this difficult to set up in 2023, shouldn’t this be revisited and corrected? I mean, WTF?
Any button really, there's a joy stuck in the back just toggle it left/right/up or down, it will show an input menu, choose the corresponding one.
Having just received y BenQ 3205u display I can say setup is not for the faint at heart. The Quick Start guide supplied was insufficient for me to get a working display with my M1 14” MacBook Pro using USB C to USB C connection. This is my first use of an external display; I am mostly unfamiliar with the many port connections available on an external monitor. My first attempt showed the MacBook recognized the BenQ as a connected device. I could see it in the Display panel. In the Preferences/Display panel when I selected the BenQ, the MacBook display dimmed and the BenQ display said “no cable connected”. So I’m left with a dimmed MacBook screen and a non-working BenQ display. No way to control anything. We if I turned off the BenQ the MacBook came alive and showed only its display screen.
Contacted BenQ support who replied quickly I power cycle the display along with checking all the connection, something I already did. Power cycle did nothing, They did inform me that the display does not auto detect a signal, so you must manually using the five-way controller cycle through the three available inputs. That did the trick, the screen displayed the Mac screen. Nothing in the Quick Start guid suggests this choosing the BenQ input step necessary. Did easily find the full manual on the internet, someone essential to understanding this display.
Once I had a working display I found the text too small for my vision. By adjusting the screen resolution I did get an adequate text size at the expense of a less than full screen. I do need to gain a better understanding of the resolution adjustment. I did a quick Lightroom edit i and am very happy with the display image and its color compared to the MacBook. I understand the BenQ has many additional ports, but at the moment don’t have an understanding of “upstream” and “downstream” when describing a port. I would like to connect to my Epson P600 printer using a USB B cable between the monitor and printer. Can I do that?
To summarize I think that customers unfamiliar with external monitors will struggle to get this working. Better instructions are needed. Also the the provided base is quite sharp. I cut myself trying to position the screen to insert cables, which are in an awkward location. The base has sharp edges, enough that I only recognized the cut when blood appeared on the Starter Guide.
Still I’m hoping this reasonably priced monitor will suit all my needs for editing photos.
Thanks for sharing.
Having had to set up hundreds of similar Dell monitors; I'd add the cables first, clip in the stand (all while the screen is still flat and with the protective plastic covering on) then, using the stand strut as a handle, flip it upright and remove the protective plastic. Made computer setup easier, faster and safer from finger prints. However; perhaps not as friendly for videoing for UA-cam. :D
Also; back then, about half the computers still used VGA so access to the thumb screws was a real PITA unless the screen was facing down.
👍🏼
nice I want to buy it
:)
I have been considering the PD3205U, but have been waiting for the full review. Will it be coming soon?
At this point, you may see a comparison with it and the PD3220U but that would be about it. You can find more about the model in this video ua-cam.com/video/om6Hat8w32Y/v-deo.html
art , love your work! I'm looking at a PD 322 . May I ask you what you feel about the quality of refurbished monitors with a one year limited warranty. Your opinion counts for a lot
I have purchased and received refurbished units from BenQ numerous times, they are still of great quality. I would give it a try.
Thanks for this - bit confused as to how this compares to the 3220 though! That has no 'chin', but I think it's more expensive. I wonder if the panel quality is actually better, though. I find the BenQ line pretty confusing - almost too many options...
Like any displays brands that is not Apple. PD3220U is better and has a larger color gamut coverage.
Happy new 2023! Great introduction to this monitor.
One thing I am wondering about, which I don't find any information about, is if it's possible to daisy chain a second monitor from the PD3205U. I am not looking for the KVM feature as I am only using one computer, but I would love to avoid the extra cables as daisy chaining keeps things so much cleaner. Can the DP port on the monitor be used as an output port to a second monitor, or is the DP strictly an in port? Would be great to get some info on this. Thanks in advance!
You can't with this one, because it is using a USB base connection and not Thunderbolt. For that you have to choose PD3220U or PD2725U
Nice & Thanks :)
Welcome!
Unfortunately we did not get a review from you of this monitor, people say that this monitor is not bright enough, what would you say ?
it depends on what you do... for photo and most SDR video this is just fine. For HDR video, it is not quite there. This is largely dependent on your workflow.
Enjoy your instructive review. My PD3220U is connected to an M2 Max Mac Studio with a thunderbolt 4 cable. I want to get a PD3205U as a second monitor. The PD3205U does not have a TB port. How to daisy chain the two monitors. What cable is needed ? Thanks.
USB C 4K compatible or Thunderbolt cable. The second the display does not need to be daisy chain compatible, just the first one which is the PD3220U, there's a second USB C port on the PD3220U just use that to output the cable to the second display usb c, in your case PD3205U
Thanks for the "Preview!" Very promising.
Question: I've seen a couple videos that say running 4K monitors from Mac Studio Ultra has diminishing returns due to refresh rate (I believe). "They" say that the Studio lineup just can't push the 4K signals properly and you can't take advantage of true 4K (I'm thinking 4K video, in this case).
Any thoughts?
I don't know what those videos are talking about. I'm able to get 4K 60 Hz on these display without issues. Without knowing the specific that the others are referring to, I am unable to comment further. I don't think that it is an issue in daily used. I have been using the Mac Studio with 2 4k displays and it works just fine. Some one is always going to find something to complain about ;)
@@ArtIsRight Thanks!!! I look forward to your further info on this model and especially how it might compare to the SW line (i'm in need of a new duel monitor setup for video and photo editing). Always happy to see content from you!
I just got my BenQ PD3205U monitor and everything is fine except one thing. I am really concerned about color temperature of my monitor. When I put PD3205U to another IPS screen that my laptop has, the colors on PD3205U look way warmer. You can really see the difference between whites in interface on the monitor and on my laptop screen. So what is right? Are color really supposed to be that way and my laptop screen is the one, who had colder color tones than my new monitor? Since the monitor is Calman color calibrated from factory, I suppose it should be that way, but may be there's a mislead in calibration? I just wanted to double check.
Laptops generally are much cooler calibrated from the factory and less accurate overall. Monitor is Calman Verified but not necessary Calman Calibrated - different thing. I would personally defer to the PD for color
Hey Art :) im excited for the full review of the pd3205u! I have access to only the pd3205u and the pd3220u where i live and i want to do color grading work. What would you recommend? I know the sw is the onw to go with but that's very hard to get in the country i live in :)
Either one will do if you only use REC709, if you, however, need more color then PD3220U would be the one to consider instead.
@@ArtIsRight super thank you :)
Hello Art! Thanks for posting such helpful and informative videos. My question is… I own the Pd3220u and I would like a second monitor in the PD lineup. I was wondering would this be a good option and could this monitor be daisy chained to my current monitor? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
Daisy chain is support with this model and works well!
@@ArtIsRight Thank you so much.
😁
hi art , your videos are just phenomenal ,excellent,verey deep insights.
i am looking to buy mac studio base version for stock trading,for that i need 4 displays.one 27inch Qhd monitor rest 1080p (24 inch) monitor is what i am thinking
(after watching so many videos) .would it work fine with mac studio.
because i have been hearing on youtube about multiple display issue , scaling etc .
what would you suggest with which resolution should i go for 4 display setup .27 inch monitor what i want.
Would be great if you suggest some monitors too .
27" QHD or 24" HD or FHD does not have any scaling issues, it does not scale at all. As far as model, any one would do really. Since you are needing 4, I would look for one that is priced within your budget and possible USB C input.
@@ArtIsRight thank you art for much needed confirmation.
👍🏼
Hi Art, another great review. I am looking for a new monitor for either my Mac Air M1, or a new Mac Mini. I was looking at the LG 23.7" Ultrafine IPS 24MD4KLB-B which has 5 USB-C ports, all on the back. It was apparently designed to work with Mac's, as I'm sure you know, but I see you seem to be a fan of the BenQ line. Just curious what your thoughts are between the LG Ultrafine and the BenQ Pro design PD2705U? Maybe there is a video here to make as both appear to be good matches for Macs....
Many thanks if you have any thoughts on which might be better for general use and some photo/video editing.
Spencer
All of them are compatible with Mac really. You should know that I am BenQ global ambassador for their pro display line. However, I'm not preferring their display because of this. I prefer them because of the calibration that they do to these panel at the factory. BenQ Pro line both SW and PD are rigorously calibrated compared to other brands and that is why I prefer them. PD2705U is a good display. Another thing to note is that BenQ display is matted and others including LG will most of the time lean toward glossy. Glossy display will always show more color and contrast, it will make what you view looks flattering, however, it is not necessary accurate. And that is something to be aware of. If you are a pro or dapple in the creative arts, having a matted display is generally better because what you are seeing is honest and if you can get images to pop on matted display, it will look amazing on glossy as well. But the reverse is not always guaranteed. Hope this helps. If you have any follow up question please Start a new comment this way I'll see it.
@@ArtIsRight Your point on the matte finish and photo editing is something I was not aware of, so I will definitely go with the BenQ now.
Many thanks again Art - you have saved me time, and the hassle of a return!
You're welcome. If you have any further questions please start a new comment this way I'll see it!
Hi Art Love your BenQ reviews. I currently own the PD3220 connected by thunderbolt 3 to a 2018 MacBook Pro and would like to daisy chain it to the PD2705U. Is that possible?
If you have the PD3220U then yes, that display support daisy chain and M1 Pro and up can handle that as well.
Is there a video elaborating the usb-c one connection for all functionality in detail. Is there any limitations to that over display port.
If your USB C and output signal it is the same as display port because USB C itself does not carry display signal, it uses display port overlay, which is the same signal as regular display port
I'm looking to get either the PD3205u or PD3220U, doing mainly 4k video editing professionally. So far in your testing, is the PD3220U worth getting over this model even though I may not use the P3 colour space?
I would say so, better panel.
@@ArtIsRight Hey Art thanks for the response. I eventually got the PD3220U and it's been great and have set the colour mode to Display P3. However I noticed that the contrast is lower than the display on my macbook and I can't adjust the contrast level in the settings. Also, the colours are also slightly different from my iphone and macbook - does it mean I'd have to get a hardware calibrator? Appreciate your help!
Hardware calibration won't match your color and no display will match one another. ua-cam.com/video/QmyDEHNB1pQ/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/NxTNSkxgVP8/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/8PJYT-R-TLM/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/8qHYsJDSKWM/v-deo.html each of these 4 videos will partially answer your question. As a whole it will tell you the answer that I gave you in more detail and the why behind it.
@@ArtIsRight Cool. Thanks for sharing! They've helped greatly
As an mbbs student which one should choose for MacBook Air m1 BenqPd3205ua or Pd3220u
not sure what mbbs is, between the 2 would look at the color gamut and what you need. If you need high P3 then 3220U, otherwise 3205UA
Will there be PD3220U replacement? Thanks.
:)
Several users have reported there's really no advantage to the 3205 to the 3200... what's your take? I'm a little reluctant to buy a 7-year old monitor (3200)...
3205 is the update to the 3200 so they are the equivalent just with an update panel and electronics like USB C and PD
Sir, can this monitor display 4 monitors like the Benq 3220u ?
yes
Considering Color grading for theatrical film should i go with PD series or SW Series. Can you suggest models for 4k 27inch & 32inch.
If your work generate you income, I would choose SW for the best color possible.
HELP ME ART! I'm really torn between the PD3205U and the PD3220U. Is Thunderbolt 3 and 1% better color accuracy really worth $400? I use my display for photo and video editing with a late-2021 Macbook Pro 16".
for sRGB and REC 709 it is 1% but for P3 color space you are looking at lower double digits. TB3 will also allow you to daisy chin another display to the PD3220U something at PD3205U Can't. It all comes down to value proposition and what you are looking for. I am still in the testing process for this display. I'll have more to comment on this once I am done with my testing.
@@ArtIsRight thanks for the info. It's still a tough call for me. Being a third more expensive. I've run my business on a 27" Apple Cinema monitor forever so anything is likely a significant upgrade.
@@ArtIsRight I just scored a PD3220U used for $750. It's in perfect shape. Awesome monitor, but man, those speakers are the WORST. Thanks again for your help. Keep up the great work - your content is really fantastic.
They are good for displays and not speakers ;)
What about wall mount
For that you have to use a vesa compatible arm. Not the one that this display comes with.
Any follow up on this monitor? Im looking to purchase a monitor and am looking at this one or PD3220u.
Review coming later this month, earlier next month
Hello art, i just pre ordered the pd2705u yesterday do you think its worth it if i cancel it and order the pd2725u? Or the difference isn’t worth, Thanks.
I would say if you want something with a higher P3 color coverage then go with the PD2725U
Just purchased pd3205u and may say it is nice display but there is some issue with sound control. I am using M2 Pro Mac mini and sound controlling is blocked, can't increase or decrease from from menu bar neither from keyboard. If I use sound control from monitor everything work but from macOS it is not. Display firmware upgraded to to latest 024 version. Mac mini use macOS Ventura 13.6 operating system. Does anybody encountered same problems?
That is because the sound via the display is handle on the display by the chipset / dac and it does not communicate wit the Mac.
@@ArtIsRight Is there any way to force chipset to communicate? It is specific to BenQ displays?
I think this is a dac specific issue through various IO, this is an issue that will happen on all 3rd party display. What is your setup and what are you trying to do? Are you using the display speakers or the 3.5 mm headphone jack on the display?
@@ArtIsRight I am just connected Mac mini M2pro via USB-C cable which came with display to the USB-C port of display. Sound working well but not controlling from macOS menu bar either from apple keyboard. I have reconfigured benq hotkey puck controller key dial from default brightness to volume control and use it that way until find other solution.
Great Video!! I wonder how does it compares to the LG-32UN880-B? It would mean a lot if you reply me 🙇🏻♂ . Thanks in advance 🙏
Calibration from factory and uniformity wise, I think this would be better than LG. P3 Coverage wise LG is better than this model and is more inline with PD3220U than this model.
@@ArtIsRight Thank you so much for your reply!! Your video is so insightful!
Hi ART, I would like to buy the new model of BENQ PD2506Q (QHD). One question ... In your opinion, for video and photo editing, is there much difference between an 8BIT panel and an 8BIT + FRC (10BIT) panel? From what I read on the net it would seem that an 8BIT panel shows a lower chromatic scale than an 8BIT + FRC one.
8BIT> Display colors> 16.7 million colors
8BIT + FRC> Display colors> 1.07 billion colors
I would go for the 8 bit + frc model.
@@ArtIsRight @ArtIsRight when to expect the screen calibration and full review am I missing that in your upload videos or is it yet to come and is this model a 10bit monitor
Aside from the size... are all of the features the same as the 27"
yes
@@ArtIsRight Thank goodness. I ordered with hopes that it would be. P.S. I followed you on Twitter and messaged you on there as well....
If you do any videos regarding Davinci Resolve and how the handling is on BenQ monitors (especially for "Metal 3" GPU rendering on Effects updates... as they don't seem great on "Metal 2"), then I'll definitely tag you and share them.
Got it and thank you! :)
This monitor looks nice, but it’s 140ppi, which is not great for macos UI scaling.
You’d want either 110 (for non-retina) or 218 (for retina) .
How do you find it with a mac?
There's a range, if you are fixed with the PPI that is ok too, just won't have a lot so options.
Heyy
This is such a great video. I am currently upgrading my set up. Wanted to know the difference between the pd2527u to pd2705u. Are they for a different target audience? or same target audience but with lesser features? There is a substantial price difference between both of them.
Would love to know your thoughts.
Thanks in advance
PD2705U is an entry model, primary the variation between this and the higher end model comes down to color gamut coverage, 99% sRGB vs 95%+ P3 in the higher end model and connectivity. This one use USB C, where as the PD2727U uses Thunderbolt when you can do display daisy chain on supported computer. Otherwise, they both can show great colors and etc. This is also the variation in the price point as well.
@@ArtIsRight thank you. I am not worried about connectivity. Want the colours to be right. The SW range is very expensive
Then I would look at the PD series.
@@ArtIsRight yes. Hence, I am looking at the PD2725u or the PD2705u. In my country, we don't have BenQ stores, only distributors. So it's difficult to understand how different the colours are between both the screens by just watching UA-cam videos because both have been equally praised on UA-cam. Don't know how to compare.
Like I said, mostly it has to do with the P3 coverage. Will you see this in person, may be, but it would be hard to tell. This would be something that you look at the spec based on what you need. What you might see is that the PD2725U has more saturation in P3 Gamut compared to PD2705U. But I would look at the need vs budget when considering this.
Salve, chiedevo se un Mac Mini m1 da 16gb e 512gb di HD sia in grado di fallo funzionare bene. Grazie
Depending on what you do
Hi, I am trying to decide between PD3205U and PD3220U. I know that PD3220U support 95% P3 color space and you can daisy chain 2 more 4K monitors with that display - but in my workflow i do not need that. My confusion is the aesthetic look : is PD3205U Stand made of metal or it's plastic? And is there any other major difference between PD3220U & PD3205U. Also PD3220U is a 2 year old monitor while PD3205U is a new release. I tried searching whole internet but no one has made a comparison video among PD3205U and PD3220U model. I see in your comments you promised to make one but I could not find it on your channel as well. I need to make a decision by tomorrow. Thank you & your videos very helpful.
PS : I am going to use it with Mac Studio.
PD3205U stand has a metal core and plastic over lay. Color gamut would be one of the variation in addition to the connectivity and display placement PD3205U entry, PD3220U Premium. Had not make a comparisons yet, Either one will work with Mac studio. 2 years old is 2 years old, it really means nothing because you are still get a display that was manufacture recently from the factory. It is not like you are getting a stock 2 years old display. The panel and connection has not changed at all in the past 2-3 years when it comes to LCD ISP LED Backlight. So either one is good really.
@@ArtIsRight Thank you - I decided to go with PD3220U. Beside the premium panel - this monitor looks great - what convinced me most was the metalic base and no bottom chin - just plain bazles. it looks great.
Great display
How reliable benq is? This will be my first benq I buy. I’d used it for coding, is this a good choice for programming? I’m not a designer.
They have really great hardware. This will work for coding just fine, there are cheaper one for that purpose as well.
Art I have the sw271c and I keep having an issue where the monitor is connected to the m1 max 14 in and it’ll say it’s connected but no video is coming through. It’s happening everyday and is making the monitor unusable. How do I fix this issue? I’ve already tried multiple cables. 😩😩😩
DM me on Facebook page or insta. We'll go from there
@@ArtIsRight doing it now
Is it capable of being hardware calibrated?
PD line no, SW line yes
Hi. Firstly, Thanks for all. I will buy new monitor but I cant choose still. I have Windows system with 3080 graphic cards. I do 60 prosent photo 40 prosent video. I cant choose still 27 or 32 inch? 2k or 4k? I am going between sw270c or pd 3205u. Please help. Thanks.
SW vs PD they are in a different league and when you talk about these 2 models they are at the opposite end. SW270C is toward the top of the SW line up and is known to have one of the best panel. PD3205U is an entry PD display. So if I have to choose I would go with the SW270C for greater color gamut coverage and better accuracy with hardware calibration.
@@ArtIsRight Thanks alot. I will go with sw.
wow
👍🏼
Whats the length and specs of the type c to type c cable?
USB 3.2 And I believe 2 feet
Please guide I am torn between sw270c and this PD3205u as those are the only budget option for me, and majorly my workspace includes majorly photo and video editing for online content. To be used with my macbook pro 14inch
SW270C is a much better panel. I would go with that. It has hardware calibration.
@@ArtIsRight when to expect the review for this monitor , it would help in my purchase decision and I had a question whether the 270c benq is a true 10bit monitor or its FRC 8+2 FRC
@@ArtIsRight just a quick query i have got PD2725U on sale in my country so is it good to go comparing with SW270c or should i stick to your suggestion for the SW270C, considering better brightness and better PPI with 4k on the 2725U.
Please sir reply as I need to buy today to grab the offer
@Suha Parveen all BenQ proline as of is now is 8 bit + FRC. PD3205U review coming at some point. It is an entry PD so don't expect much interns of color gamut coverage beyond sRGB and REC709
@Shahbaz Ahmed SW & PD comes down to hardware calibration and color gamut coverage. SW cover 99% Adobe RGB where as PD does not. ua-cam.com/video/nKajHQh4eFE/v-deo.html I would choose the display based on your workflow for color gamut and whether you need hardware calibration or not, more so than pixel density at the same price point. Hope this helps.
Curious to know which resolution settings do you use 3080p , 2k , 1080p ( scaling ) .
use the one that you can work comfortably with, everything is a compromise between being able to read (scaling) vs 4K native.
@@ArtIsRight should i use the benq as main display setting or extended display setting.
You can do either, but I would probably use the external as the primary
what is the difference to the 3220U
ua-cam.com/video/om6Hat8w32Y/v-deo.html Connect type, color gamut coverage, design and possible ergoarm.
@@ArtIsRight Thank you. Which connect type is 05U missing?
Thunderbolt vs USB C, TB can 4K display daisy chain
Pitty the Benq dont have cable management
There's a clip on the back and cover for the cable. Not sure how much managing is needed really, Also a velcro wire hardness works well too.
@@ArtIsRight are u referring to the specific benq monitor for the clip?
On the stand there is a clip for wire management.
compare to u3223qe
I'll make a note of it
Brightness in this monitor is bad joke. Benqs monitors from this series has worse values comparing to the past, brighness, contrast. Why ? Cost saving?
great questions for the PM
