The Taiwanese company BenQ has launched two new best 4K business monitor models that are perfect for pairing with MacBooks and other Apple devices. These models are specifically advertised for this purpose. Firstly, the BenQ MA270U, with its 27-inch screen, and secondly, the BenQ MA320U, featuring a larger 31.5-inch display. Both models come equipped with an IPS panel, a 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K) resolution, and cover 99% of the sRGB color space.
Both new business screen models also offer 10-bit color depth and include image modes such as “Display P3” or “M-Book”. While the small business monitor comes with DisplayHDR 400 and 95 percent DCI-P3, the larger one shines with DisplayHDR 600 and 97% DCI-P3.
According to BenQ, “perfect color management” is guaranteed between the Mac and the monitor. You can easily adjust various screen settings with the Display Pilot 2 software, which is available for download on macOS.
The interface selection includes two HDMI 2.0 inputs, a USB 3.2 hub (Gen 1), and USB-C with DisplayPort alternate mode and 90-watt PD. The best 4K business monitor models excel in ergonomics with key features like tilt, rotation, height adjustment, and pivot. They also include a VESA mount (100 x 100 mm), blue light filtering, and a flicker-free backlight for enhanced comfort and productivity.
The manufacturer has also thought of a mode for people with color vision deficiency and an ambient light sensor (Brightness Intelligence Plus Gen2).
Price and release date
BenQ’s MA270U and MA320U monitors each come with a two-year warranty. They are available for pre-order on B&H Photo Video in the USA, priced at approximately $459.99 and $599.99, respectively.
Samsung also expanded its ViewFinity S8 series with the ViewFinity S8 S80UD. Available in 27″ and 32″ sizes, both models offer exceptional performance, but each has unique features that cater to different user requirements. These monitors are designed to meet the needs of professionals, creatives, and anyone seeking a premium visual experience.
