What customers say about "Key Specs"

BenQ PD3220U Graphic Design Monitor

Exceptional image quality with QHD (3840x2160) resolution.
Here, for most users the greatest features to look at is the resolution and panel type. Good resolution.
I was looking for a decent 4k HDR 27 inch calibrated monitor that can handle design work, coding, photo editing, and video editing. Awesome.
I looked at all the monitors in this price range, and chose it for resolution.
At this resolution working on multiple windows at once is practical, and it's great to see photos at high resolution in all their glory. QHD resolution!

BenQ PD3200U Graphic Design Monitor

This is a great 1440p monitor. I have no regrets purchasing this over the other monitors I was looking.
For office work, the monitor offers 32" of real estate, a 'low blue light' mode to take care of your eyes.
At this resolution working on multiple windows at once is practical - and it's great to see photos at high resolution in all their glory.
At the moment I am very happy with it, it is huge and you can really notice the resolution boost.
It is possible to work in 4K without increasing the size of the letters or icons much. On the other hand, I did not have any flickering problems.

What customers say about "Features"

BenQ PD3220U Graphic Design Monitor

No power light in sight (This is an amazing feature, especially when you're watching movies. No distraction!).
Very useful DisplayPilot software to quickly switch between picture modes.
Comes with Technicolor certified colour calibration out of the box.
There's a small hook to hang your headhphone behind the monitor.
Built-in speakers are not great but I don't think that should be a dealbreaker.

Great thing about this monitor is DisplayPilot software that allows you to switch between different modes such as RGB, Standard, Low Blue.
Built-in speakers are great enough for a monitor speakers.
The build quality is solid, The base is large without taking up a lot of desk space.
The control buttons for adjusting on screen menu work fine, no problems in using them.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

BenQ PD3220U Graphic Design Monitor

All the cables you need to connect up to graphics card are supplied.
I connect three computers to my monitor, a windows PC for gaming, my Mac Pro 5.1 for music production and my work MacBook pro.
Very flexible with good connectivity.
There's no VGA input for legacy connections, so keep an old monitor around if you might need this.
The HDMI connection occasionally cut out, but I think this was the cable connection with my laptop.

BenQ PD3200U Graphic Design Monitor

My laptop has an old GeForce 650M graphic card and surprisingly handles 2k resolution with this monitor very well so far through the displayport.
Decent port selection, I'd love to keep it as far as it can live.
All the cables you need to connect up to graphics card are supplied and, by the way, great connection options.
The USB ports placements on the back side of the monitor, facing down. It makes it a bit difficult to plug something in.
Since this monitor was released in 2017, it would be nice to be a bit more future proof.
