Thanks for the review! I am in doubt should I buy PD3205U (which is now 500e) or should I wait for MA32OU availability (as it's out of stock) for 600e? Regular wfh/office usage + some Lucid diagramming on MacBook Pro m1
Hi just gone to download the display pilot 2 app but there are 2 identical downloads except one is 10 times the file size, every bit of information is identical - so a bit confusing
It looks like the BenQ PD3205U and this BenQ MA320U are quite similar. But the BenQ PD3205U is cheaper and has a better colour range, I guess I will go with that one.
Did you purchase it yet? I'm curious to hear your experience. I'm not sure where the trade of is, why is the PD3205U cheaper when it has better colour range?
@ Not yet I’m waiting for a black friday deal but I think the only différence I have seen is maybe the max brightness of the screen and there is only one usb c in the PD
I have a different Q please: 270u vs 320u vs pd3205u/any other 4k Dell in 27 . MBP M2max. Logic user/EDM music production and some general browsing. No idea what to get but yeah I would love 2 monitors. Not interested in games or movies as I have a qled tv anyway. Would you be kind and let me know your view on this please?
Technically this video lacks any testing on the nano-coating as well as color accuracy measurement, but thanks for giving us a detailed overlook of this new monitor, I do have a calibrate plus and will be testing its accuracy since I don't want to spend over 600 dollars on a good monitor. If the price is higher then why not go for the c4 42 oled and use Calman calibration instead, or go for Asus's Pro Art mini-led that can do budget Dolby vision monitor and can be hardware calibrated by affordable methods. Since Eizo and Benq are SDR panels, even with hardware calibration included, I still believe that Pro Art min-led shares better value than both of these manufacture's offerings. Any other Apple monitors that require an industrial spectrometer for the calibration process.
Appreciate the feedback. Personally I don’t have the technical prowess to engage in such measurements, but more-so providing a general consumer perspective on the panel as that’s who it’s targeted for. Those monitors you mentioned like the C4 and Ezio are totally not in the price range of this panel
Great video thanks so much! I have a MacBook Air M2 and a Dell 2721QS 4K monitor that's half the price of the Benq, and to me (mac/monitor tech newbie) the specs look pretty close, and it's half the price. Do you think I would notice a big difference with the Benq? I know it has the built in "mac mode" the Dell doesn't . . . Reason I'm asking is I go to a store and look at a 4.5K iMac display and it (to my untrained eye) looks 1000 times better than my Dell at home. The studio display is lovely, but I might as well buy an iMac instead of that so wondering how big a difference I would see with the Benq?
Ordered one today, looking forward to receiving, I did look carefully at the PD but my own colour perception isn't great, according to my art teacher "Are you Colour Blind!" he shouted at me in class one day. so I'm saving some money and going for the MA instead. Who'd of thought a teacher could have saved you £550
Thank you for your review. I realise it is not your primary area but if you could spend a minute or two on potential Mac Monitor reviews to consider text and DPI scaling it would be very useful for those like me whose work is text based. I am a translator and until recently a teacher so spend a lot of time reading and writing text on screen. I l bought a 5K 27in iMac ten years ago and realized that extra1 K is great for establishing a sweet spot in terms of text scaling (DPI) and 4K monitors often have problems in that regard. When I upgraded to an M1 MacBook I bought the Apple Studio Display. This month I have bought the new M4 Mac Mini Pro and was thinking of buying a second monitor but woondered if I can get away with saving some pennies which another Apple Display would involve. The M4 Mini entry model is so cheap there are going to be a lot of people interested in budget Mac Monitors (hello Apple?) but also for text-based activities. I live in Portugal and in the Iberian pensinsula the MA270U and MA320U are currently sold out so looking like another Apple Display as for me it is a false economy to save money but end up with inadequate DPI. Sorry to ramble on but interested to hear your thoughts on this.
Hey David, monitors outside of the typical Macos scaling. 5K at 27" or 4K at 21.5" won't be ideal for MacOS text but still usable. There's quite a few video resources out there detailing scaling and their impacts on usability, so best to have a look at those. If you've got the budget and scaling + text UI is ultra important for you, go with the ASD
@@DesignedbyKirk My comment was really a suggestion to extend your reviews to consider those for whom text is the primary consideration. My doubt was whether I needed to buy a SECOND ASD for my second monitor. Your comment about "5K at 27" or 4K at 21.5" won't be ideal for MacOS text but still usable" is very strange. The whole point was the iMac 27 in 5K machine was wonderful for text. So is the ASD. After watching your review of this BenQ MA320U monitor, I am not sure whether it would be good for text work with a Mac Mini. I recounted past problems with standard 4K machines and their scaling issues. I guess I should save up for another ASD. Not sure what those buying the entry level Mac Mini primarily for text-based work should do who have more financial constraints.
Looking to add this with a Mac Studio M2 Max (mid 2023) to replace my wife's 5 year old iMac 27" that's been plagued with failures as of late. Mainly using it for Photoshop/ Lightroom and DaVinci, for real estate photography. Would this be a good combination? I would love to get her a 5K Apple but we're trying to keep costs low until we free up more income.
I think it would be a great option! You'll notice a drop in resolution though versus the old iMac but I edited and graded a few projects just using this and didn't mind too much at all!
The speakers on BenQ monitors can only be described as better than nothing. Otherwise, the monitors are exceptionally good for the price. I purchased my BenQ 32" monitor mainly because of the blue light filter mode that helps with reducing eye strain.
I prefer my 27” Dell monitor. One cable solution, 4k is better on a 27” monitor than on a 32” monitor, Ethernet port on the back, thunderbolt and USB-C ports at the back and bottom edge…
I am a designer, and my job involves designing for digital, graphic, and motion projects. Could I ask which monitor I should choose between the BenQ MA270U and PD2705U? My MacBook is 16 inches, and I need USB-C fast charging for it.
@@DesignedbyKirk But it doesn't support fast charging with USB-C (only 65W). I checked the specs of the MA270U which has sRGB 99%, color profile with mac, the same as the PD2705U.
If I have a mac mini when I connect an external monitor (e.g. a Benq) the color profile of the mac becomes that of the Bena so in that case how do I work on the P3? I have to select it as the color space of the monitor and leave the mac on the color profile of the Benq? Thanks in advance
hope with 120hz in the future, still using dell u2716d to connected with my macbook air, no way to match the color from my MacBook, and i had another notebook for gaming, 120hz would match both of my needs
if I connect my MacBook Air via usb C can I use the second USB C port on the monitor (15W) to connect a webcam to the monitor and will it work with my MacBook?
I’ve already pre-ordered one, but I still want to ask: Is the color of this monitor really close to that of the Studio Display or MacBook Display? It’s claimed that the brightness is 550 nits-can I assume the brightness is also similar to that of the Studio Display? Thanks a lot!
I’d say it’s fairly close but the panels on the MacBook and the studio display are definitely superior. This being a matte panel hurts contrast comparably a fair bit, plus the MacBook panel having Mini LED if you have the pros make a huge difference too. Brightness on the apple panels are definitely more too. I’d say you get 80% of the way there with this one, but it does miss the fines (and hence the cost savings)
@@DesignedbyKirk Thank you very much for your detailed answer! 80% completeness is good enough for this price range. If the difference is mainly due to the matte finish, then the more expensive PD3225U likely has the same gap to Apple panels. In that case, I’m completely fine with the MA320U.
Any display these days can be pretty color accurate, even most gaming monitors. A monitor in this price range, will definitely be color accurate, after a calibration. And if you want to compare it with a Studio Display, then the ASD must also be calibrated. They should look more or less the same.
I've compared this one with the PD3225U, which I believe is the step up from the PD3205U you mentioned. Go with the MA if you want to save money and you aren't too concerned about colour accuracy, PD if your concerned about colour more-so
Just bought the 3205. I am coming from a late model 2015 imac to a mac mini 4. The 3205 just isn't that bright. Very disappointed. Supposedly 350 nits. The reviewer on this video breezed over the 500 nits of the MA. Need more research. If it gets to 500, then its a slam dunk.
@ After watching your video I checked it again. According the German BenQ website the monitor does support Daisy Chaing. I couldn’t find this information on the English website. So I asked the German support which information is the correct one. Once I receive an answer I let you know.
Thank you for effort! IPS panels more even backlighting. Backlit can be somewhat uneven and inconcsistent. I guess that monitor is fine for most of users. Seems that for photography, video editing, graphical design etc, this monitor isn’t the best option. For other cases, I guess this is pretty useful.
@@DesignedbyKirkI was under the assumption that this ratio/resolution didn’t play nice with macOS scaling. Honestly was hoping for 5k considering the MacBook promotion the price isn’t that far from Samsungs and LGs
No still same. The retina resolution that matches the HIDPI scaling method of Mac OS is 27 inches 5k or 32 inches 6k. So, if you plan to use it at 2.5k(1440p) hidpi rather than at 2k(1080p) hidpi, it will be upscaled to 5k(2880p), which is twice the resolution of 2.5k(1440p), and displayed as 2.5k(1440p) HIDPI, which still puts a load on the CPU.
@@DesignedbyKirk Thank you for the review - are you saying Apple Pro Display is the only 32" option, because any 32" monitor that isn't 5k will suffer fuzzy text with a Mac M1?

I’m so tired of old tech being marketed as new. Innovation is dead in the monitor space. Even the new OLEDs have piss poor brightness and can only reach 250 nits full screen - unusable during the day. I’ll stick with my studio display - it has a glossy finish, 5k at 27” (218 ppi), and reaches 600 nits brightness.
I far prefer Matte as opposed to having a sheet of glossy reflective glass on a monitor. I like to see whats on the screen, not a reflection of myself. Each to their own, I suppose.
