BenQ DesignVue PD3205UA and PD2705UA 4K Monitors for Designers

BenQ is a well-known brand in the world of monitors, and their DesignVue PD3205UA and PD2705UA 4K monitors are no exception. The BenQ DesignVue PD2705U (REVIEW) released last year received a “Good” grade from us and, with the PD2705U A, has an offshoot that comes with an Ergo stand.

The BenQ PD3205UA and PD2705UA 4K monitors share similar specifications, with the main difference being their display sizes: the PD3205UA has a 32-inch display, while the PD2705UA has a 27-inch display. Both monitors have a resolution of 3840×2160, a 60Hz refresh rate, and a wide color gamut of 99% sRGB and 99% Rec. 709, allowing for a vast array of colors and shades to be displayed.

These monitors also feature a USB-C port for easy connectivity to laptops and other devices. Both monitors also feature BenQ’s Eye-Care technology, which includes a low blue light filter, flicker-free technology, and a built-in brightness sensor. These features help to reduce eye strain and fatigue, making them ideal for long work sessions.

In addition, both monitors also feature a slim bezel design, which provides a sleek and modern look. They also have a wide viewing angle of 178 degrees, which allows for clear and accurate viewing from any angle.
