I wish manufacturers would come up with sensible names for their products. They always sound ridiculous. Almost as though they used a Password Manager to shoot out some random characters.
Thank you! Loved the amount of detail, the comparisons with other models, and discussion of subjective experience vs graphs. This is probably the most useful monitor review I've seen.
great review. as you said nothing we havent seen before, the problem with 32 4k 144 right now is they are not fast IPS… ought to wait for 32gq950. gotta say, this one though lacks quite a bit in the looks department.
I just ordered mine brand new. Shipped from and sold by Amazon. I currently have three BenQ monitors. I have been using their monitors for right around three or four years. They are the highest quality monitors I have ever experienced. My current specs are as follows: RTX 3090 Founder's Edition, Intel i9-10900KF, 64 GB Team Force ARGB XTREEM DDR4 3600 MHz. That being said I think my system will dominate gaming on this monitor.
I really like this (sadly small known) channel, very professional and classy, thanks to Nada ! Way less nerdy messy stuff many others do 🙃, and European as well !
I really love this monitor since I don't love too bright monitors. And IPS Glow is very acceptable due to this low SDR brightness. When HDR is ON IPS glow is more noticeable but games look very beautiful event it is not true HDR, I tested on Cyberpunk, Elden Ring and GOW so far, it is stunning, and the HDRi extra HDR modes offers something more, but it's all about subjectivity and feeling. Yeah it is overpriced but I managed to buy it at 1089 euros, almost same price as PG32QU so I'm very happy with it ! I would recomend it if you have the money :)
I have a BenQ 240hz 1080p monitor, I love it! Eventually when I get a rtx 3090 I might get this or I might wait for the later on released 4000 series and wait for a 8k monitor
Thank god for this video. Neither Rtings or Hardware Unboxed have spoken about this thing and every other review I’ve seen and read of this thing just felt like shills that all glossed over some important specs and details. Really really appreciated. Just a question, do you know how the Mac compatibility is with this thing? Finding a nice all-in-one monitor to switch between Mac and PS5 that doesn’t look like a black alien box is really tough so I’m kind of forced to consider this but I’ve not seen any mention anywhere about potential compatibility issues. Had you tried it at any point at all?
Thanks for the compliments and always happy to hear a video helped! But I can't say anything about mac compatibility since I didn't look into that, sorry!
Great review once again Nada 🥰👍🥳wtf is with the monitor colour combinations 🤢🤮? It’s great to see independent reviews and comparisons to other brands & their respective models. Many people simply look and says “looks good to me” but as usual, many tech stores show cartoons to show colour vibrancy and not what you would actually use the monitor for (even tv’s) which is simply deceptive 🤬. Look first at numerous reviews and when your close to your final decision then maybe check out the physical item in store for that final confirmation. I’ve always checked many online videos, editorials, independent product reviews etc before making all of my purchases. Yes researching takes time, but ultimately it’s who best deserves my hard earned money!
I have the PD3220u monitor for two years now. I'm just waiting for them to release their gaming version of it. And finally! I'll order it right away. Thank you for the review.
This was a very cool and informative video. I just got the monitor and I was going to ask what calibrations did you use for this monitor for a better color reproduction?
Great reviews, I found this monitor interesting but I feel that every review I see about it shows me that the picture quality isn't that good... I find it kind of dull even though reviews are good...
You should consider ordering the OSRT tool from fellow UA-camr TechteamGB. Response time testing ftw :) Nicely filmed video otherwise :) Its still curious to me that BenQ decides to limit SDR brightness on its Mobiuz monitors so heavily. Even if more is not universally needed, choosing to turn the monitor brighter should really be an option.
Oh man what a question, but how do I turn the microphone ON? Can't enable it through the menu options and pressing the button doesn't work, either. Thanks!
The MSI Optix MPG321UR-QD seems like a much better option and probably still the best 32 inch 4k monitor so far. The colors are amazing and it has great brightness, It still lacks FALD but it does offer a great experience. I just wish the minimum brightness was a bit lower to make it a bit better for darker environments.
Nice review. But can u recommend a 4K colour accurate monitor for content creation (3D animation and rendering). 60Hz with decent HDR. My budget is not very high around 700$.
This panel was high on my list but now with the recent CES announcements with all the forthcoming miniLED OLED QD, and 4k 175hz with Acer or even 240hz 4k G8 all coming later this year, this class of regular IPS LED 4k144hz (many just hdr400 and a couple are 600) monitors all seem pretty pointless to get. Glad I returned FI32u and G7 28" 4k I tested out, nor bought the xg320u m32u nor this BenQ. Sticking with my xg27aqm for now...
@@UnboxerofWorlds yeah the price will definitely be more and north of 1k for sure, but the coming panel improvements are a major enough leap I think to make it "worth it". And that's only if you already have a 3080/6800xt or higher too I think
@@pishni259 I have a 3070 laptop. Never owned a gaming monitor before and would like to buy one. But north of $1K isn't in the cards right now lol. Maybe I can be happy with a good 1440p gaming monitor.
Mike I’m looking for a decent 28” 4K 120hz+ with hdmi 2.1 I’m not sold on what’s on offer right now, do you have any info on what is coming out this year that I can look out for my budget I would like to be around £800
Great informative video!! It looks like you have tested alot of montors!! I was wondering if you could steer me in the right direction. arround 750.00 for 27-32 inch, RGB 10 bit 4K does one exsist? for printing some video editing. Two weeks and just lost. Thanks
Thanks! For gaming too? Because that gets a bit hard, M32U is nice and that price range, but not a true 10-bit panel. U2723QE/U3223QE maybe if you're not gaming? I haven't tested it but I've often liked those high-end Dell 4K monitors.
I like the colors of the stand, I don't like the shape. Too...aggressive for my taste. The back is gorgeous. I would have liked the front to be also white (perhaps with red or orange or yellow), but even the BenQ brown is a good color, definitely better than the usual boring black. The bezels are of course black and I would have liked them a different color, but funnily enough only Apple has recently dared to do something about it. Which is something we usually make fun of Apple for how "brave" they are. In general, interesting monitor, though not the best. Thanks for the good review.
Good question, but I mostly focus on faster monitors as I also like to play games. I usually ended up with LG's range for mid-range 4K 60Hz monitors. If you have a few options from your market I could take a look? :)
Has anyone tested the range of the remote control? I want to know if I could possibly use the remote from my sofa about 8-10 feet away from the monitor.
i have the xiaomi 34'' monitor and a lenovo idea pad gaming but i have only one hdmi port and, i suppor only 4k@60hz what can i do to support higher hz like 100 or 144hz with only hdmi port?
Yeah I've heard great things about that monitor but the lack of full bandwidth is why I didn't pick it up. This one seems good but I'm just worried about the uniformity and IPS glow that comes with these larger displays. Not sure If BenQ is a good brand, Never bought any of their products before.
@@mtbjd3046 Yeah but those are going to be even more expensive than this one, Plus there is also the MSI Optix MPG321UR-QD, Which is a great monitor and offers better brightness than this one. Plus it's only $900. Not saying the LG and Acer monitors won't be awesome, But if you're like me and are mainly buying the monitor for console gaming with some PC gaming on the side, Then there is really no need to spend over $1000 on a display.
Quality of these ips monitors is terrible and looking at the price is outright laughable. I've bought couple of days ago Samsung S28AG70 to replace my 12 year old monitor and I was very dissapointed to still see bad contrast with greyish blacks with ips glow on top. I was still on the fence if I should keep it when I found a dead pixel. For 800 euros this is really mind blowing.
I agree, bought a LG C1 OLED and been using it as a gaming/media monitor for 2 months in a week. My Asus PG279QZ and Dell S2721DGFA, both 1440p high refresh IPS monitors, look really bad in comparison. I mean, they are not the absolute best IPS monitors, but they are not that far from them in image quality. Never getting an IPS, VA or TN ever again.

At least every monitor name contains a display size number.
Like this one, for example: EX3210U = 32"
Thank you! Loved the amount of detail, the comparisons with other models, and discussion of subjective experience vs graphs. This is probably the most useful monitor review I've seen.
Maybe I am wrong, but it seems to me that BenQ always came strong with the price, even when it's not justified.
you're definitely right.
Yeah its always expensive without reason.

The thing this also one of the few monitors with actual full bandwidth hdmi 2.1 ports. Which probably 98% of those on the list don't have.
For consoles, they have a feature for "Hdr always on" so every game will have HDR applied to it.
Backlight strobing can make some panels brighter.
👍wow thanks for posting on this! Have been waiting for this for a long time!
