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.

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

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!
@DesignedbyKirk

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.

@@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 If so, the title “Best value mac monitor for EVERYONE ” would be quite less objective. I'm not saying the product is bad, but It's not worth it just because it's cheaper than Studio Display or pd3225u. It's worth it if it has advantages compared to competing products in the same price range.
