BenQ PD2705U 4K 27” Monitor for Designer, IPS, AQCOLOR, 99% sRGB, 99% Rec. 709, Delta E ≤ 3, Factory Calibrated, Uniformity, 65W USB-C, HDMI, DP, KVM, Compatible with MacBook

I bought it during Black Friday sale and the price was really good. I'm very satisfied with this monitor - my first 4k monitor! The quality is brilliant and it has Macbook mode, which is perfect for my Macbook laptops - to maximise the best colour performance. It came with HDMI, USB-C and Displayport cables. I only used USB-C and HDMI mainly. Noting that I have the second monitor in my set-up, I can conveniently use either HDMI or USB-C, i.e. the HDMI cable is connected to the dock station for two extended displays but sometimes, I want to use a single monitor that can be done via USB-C whilst not using the dock. The BenQ monitor has button to quickly switch between HDMI and USB-C input - quite convenient for my use. Plus, USB-C can charge my laptops well at good charging speed. The monitor has three ports on the side (USB-C, USB-A [both downstream] and headphone jack) - so convenient to reach to for charging a couple of my devices. There are more USB-A ports at the back of monitor, which I don't use but useful if I need more ports to connect with. Also, it has dual view meaning I can connect bot of my Macbook laptops (Intel 2019 and M1 2020) via USB-C and HDMI simultaneously as well as setting monitor to dual view mode. I can confirm that it worked well but it is not useful for my case - mayble, this is a good option for someoneone who wants this mode in a single monitor. Overall, I'm loving this monitor so far! I would recommend this for Macbook users due to being Mac-compatible.

This monitor has a great screen with true color reproduction and built-in speakers that deliver quality sound. The KVM switch is incredibly convenient, allowing me to connect both my work and personal laptops while sharing a single keyboard and mouse. It includes all the necessary ports, so there's no need for extra hubs. Go for it!

Works well with my Mac. Reasonable price and good image quality.

i've ordered BenQ PD2705U after returning back 2 other brands after had some issues. this monitor is reliably working up to now (10 days of usage for 10-12 hours a day) and have had no issues so far. pros: - very sturdy monitor - colors are very good and correct (calman verified) comparing other budget 4k alternatives - stand is very sturdy and strong - has a great and handy hotkey puck which makes adjusting settings very easy - comes with all type of connection cables you may need - supports kvm for easily switching between 2 computers - has a great Display Pilot (and pilot 2) software (you can adjust everything needed from app) - has a mac display mode which is really good (also srgb for content creators) - power cable long enough for adjustable desk - usb c power delivery is a big plus if you want to retire your usb-c power cables. 65 watts more than enough for 16 inch mac as well cons - no hdmi arc or earc for soundbars (hdmi it has is for display only) - very heavy monitor (at least 20-30% heavier than alternatives) - monitor is 2022 release meaning is about 3 years old, so looks a bit old style - monitor frame is looking old as well - supports uhd but not as good as similar alternatives - stand allocates more space than alternatives, a bit bulky base overall, i was (and still am) a bit concerned due to flickering problems people have noticed but up to now no issue on my usage. but will keep eye on it and will update here if see any issues. i liked but would be better to get more up to date design with similar price range.

Honestly, I didn't like this at first. The packaging and initial setup were fine and on initial thoughts, there was a lot too.love about the monitor. However, connected to a Mac I found some programs didn't play nice with it (Adobe Illustrator for one) and it flickered. I also couldn't get the screen to match my MacBook Pro (M1 Max) after messing about with it a while, putting it in the specific MacBook setting. I downloaded DisplayPilot from BenQ and things were a lot better as you get more granular and easier control and can also match the ICC Sync settings of your Mac. That said, as great as I now find the monitor, it won't match the brightness of the MacBook Pro and its Mini LED screen so don't expect it to. I've got used to the slight difference but have managed to get it pretty decent, especially for design and video/rendering purposes using the DisplayPilot software. Overall, it' a great monitor for the price - it won't match a £1k+ monitor but the features, ports, looks and pretty great screen are fantastic for the price. The Puck is great too - I can swap between Mac and Windows easily rather than reaching round the back of the monitor each time and the USB-C connection is great too. 4K is a bit small text size wise so I have mine set to 3008 x 1692 which is a happy medium and allows plenty of room for artboards and pallets on screen without squinting to see teeny tiny text when it's at 3840x2160. Overall - pretty happy with it - despite the initial niggles that nearly made me send it back. Stick with it, customise the settings yourself and you'll find it a great monitor. =)

Excellent monitor great picture and easy to set up. Has every connection port you would want . I use mine for Mac mini m4 and Xbox with great sound and picture on both. Some people have mentioned sound quality on the monitor as bad but I think the sound is good and certainly can be watched and listened to perfectly fine. If you want better sound put your sound system or Apple Music system on it but the monitor speakers work and sound ok. Overall I would recommend this monitor.

Very good monitor. I purchased a returned 27” one which was in mint condition. Some damage to packaging as stated by amazon but that is trivial. KVM switch works well and is very useful as I have pc and mac. Bit fiddly fitting all the cables through the cable tidy mechanism. I am very happy with the monitor. The screen is bright enough for me, but may be an issue for others. That is the only potential problem area in my view.

Impressed with the image and build quality of this screen. Very easy set up and works well with my Mac mini. Addition of the puck for switching control is a useful feature. Very happy with this purchase.

Estou usando para edição de fotos e vídeos. Tenho obtido resultados muito fiéis para publicações em redes sociais e impressões. Também é muito confortável utilizar o monitor para edição e a tela muito nítida.

Bildqualität Der BenQ PD2705U überzeugt mit einer sehr scharfen 4K-Darstellung, natürlichen Farben und einer gleichmäßigen Ausleuchtung. Für Büroarbeit, Entwicklung und gelegentliche Bildbearbeitung ist die Darstellung hervorragend geeignet. Mac-Kompatibilität Im Einsatz mit MacBooks (Apple Silicon) funktioniert der Monitor problemlos. Die Skalierung passt, Texte sind klar und es gibt kein Flackern oder Darstellungsprobleme. Anschluss & Alltagstauglichkeit Der Monitor wird per Thunderbolt-Kabel angeschlossen. Darüber laufen gleichzeitig das Bildsignal, die Stromversorgung des MacBooks und angeschlossene USB-Geräte (z. B. Tastatur oder Maus). Dadurch reicht ein einziges Kabel, ein zusätzliches Dock ist nicht nötig und der Arbeitsplatz bleibt übersichtlich. Zuverlässigkeit im Betrieb Nach dem Standby wird der Monitor zuverlässig wieder erkannt, Verbindungsabbrüche oder Aussetzer hatten wir bisher nicht. Auch im täglichen Einsatz läuft alles stabil. Verarbeitung & Ergonomie Der Monitor ist hochwertig verarbeitet, steht stabil und hat ein dezentes, professionelles Design. Höhenverstellung, Neigen und Drehen funktionieren sauber und lassen sich gut einstellen. Fazit Ein sehr zuverlässiger und hochwertiger 4K-Monitor, der sich besonders gut für den Einsatz mit MacBooks eignet. Dank des Ein-Kabel-Anschlusses ist er ideal für einen aufgeräumten, produktiven Arbeitsplatz im Homeoffice oder Büro.

Uso una MacBook Pro con pantalla Retina XDR y sin embargo, al editar video o foto, prefiero usar el monitor porque le tengo más confianza a la gama final de colores que me entregará, ya que básicamente está diseñado para eso. La base es bastante pesada, por lo que no da miedo de que se vaya a caer, normalmente siempre lo uso en horizontal porque es más cómodo para mi y hasta ahora simplemente son buenos momentos con el monitor. La pantalla es mate, por lo que no refleja la luz de alguna lámpara y el único detalle es que tiene un brillo de 500 nits por lo que debo editar con la ventana cerrada para evitar tener que forzar la vista para ver los colores.

Deze 27" BenQ PD2705U levert erg veel voor een erg scherpe prijs. Makkelijk in gebruik, eenvoudig te installeren, veel aansluitmogelijkheden en met een misschien wat saai, maar degelijk design is deze monitor een erg goede combinatie met Apple systemen. Meest gebruikt voor digitaal design-werk en beeldbewerking, niet als gaming monitor. Rustig, scherp beeld, met voldoende kleurruimte. Na een aantal maanden in gebruik een tweede besteld.

Solid performance and great picture. Easy to use. The grille cover over the ports area was a bit fiddly to put back in place if you took it off to get at cables.
