BenQ PD3220U review

The BenQ PD3220U has graphic designers mostly in mind for this 32-inch 4K-res calibrated display, but there’s lots to like if you’re a photographer or videomaker too

Review: The BenQ PD3220U 4K HDR Thunderbolt 3 display is a good option for designers | AppleInsider

The BenQ PD3220U 4K HDR monitor is a dream for designers, and with the very-high end Apple Pro Display XDR looming, we spent some time testing this powerful alternative.

The BenQ PD3220U ticks off a whole lot of things for creators, as well as a lot of features. But at that price, are they enough?

Print designers steer clear, but a classy IPS panel makes this a fine choice for others

The name BenQ DesignVue PD3220U is for 'creators' and others that want 100% sRGB, 95% P3 and HDR10 colour accuracy. But is offers lots more.

The 6 Best 4k Monitors - Summer 2022: Reviews

The best 4k monitor for gaming that we've tested is the Gigabyte M32U. It's an excellent gaming monitor with a 32 inch, 4k screen.

Apple's only monitor is $5,000. BenQ has a great alternative for thousands less

Most photographers and videographers still use MacBooks, but even expensive 4K monitors don’t always match the colors of those laptop screens. The BenQ PD3220U is a monitor specifically made to solve that problem. But can that possibly be worth its $1,200 price tag?
