Benq PD‑Series PD3205U 32'' IPS Flat 60 Hz 5 ms

Right and perfect first time.

It is good overall. It is a nice and solid piece of equipment with plenty of features, but some drawbacks exist. The matrix is not perfect. There is a visible grey shade. The colours are a bit flat and missing vividity due to a lack of DCI-P3 space.

After using this monitor for around a month now, I can say I am very pleased with its features and connectivity. The puck is far more useful than I thought it would be and the base provides a very useful space in which to store my laptop. The reason I have not given it 5 stars is because the overall colour is slightly subdued and the monitor does not perform brilliantly when faced with direct sunlight. However, these are minor and my true score is 4.5/5

Good Points: Excellent clarity & resolution. Height adjustable stand. Screen width means with Win 11 its easy to have two apps running together in a split screen. Ideal for video and photo content creation work. Easy to switch between HDMI (PC) and Thunderbolt (AppleMac). East to adjust brightness. Improvement Points: The Hotkey Puck is a great idea but complicated to set up. Control buttons are on the rear and impossible to see in normal use. Connections at rear not easy to access.

Good Points: Great colour and, because it's a certified monitor which comes with the individual monitor's report, you know that it's accurate. This is crucial for design and printing. It's not the photo version with a higher colour gamut, however, if your working with print or online graphics, the photo version isn't really needed - use the money saved to buy a calibration device instead! This is a great monitor, and the customisable puck comes in really handy to quickly swap to whatever your frequently used monitor settings are. The 32 inch version is excellent. The extra screen real estate it offers over the 27 inch comes in handy when having multiple windows open. It's also so much easier to see fine detail without having to zoom in. The monitor comes really well packed. The design of the packaging itself couldn't be better, everything has been thought through by the Benq designers, even down to the best way of attaching the screen to the extremely sturdy (and heavy) base. All in all, if you design, draw, or edit anything, whether for print or digital consumption, for work or leisure, I thoroughly recommend this monitor. Improvement Points: None

Good Points: Nice design, solid and easy to assemble. Excellent clarity when working in various design packages. Improvement Points: The major issue is flickering. Monitor is connected to a Mac Studio and at random points during my day I get an intense flickering. Also the ports aren't that easy to access, quickly.
