Description
The PD2725U DesignVue Designer 27″ 16:9 HDR 4K IPS Monitor from BenQ has been built to satisfy designers’ needs for color performance, with support for 100% of the sRGB and Rec. 709 color gamuts, 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and HDR10. Driven by BenQ’s AQCOLOR technology and an Ultra HD 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 with a 60 Hz refresh rate, the PD2725U helps deliver improved accuracy and productivity tailored for specific tastes. It does this using three special modes – CAD/CAM, Animation, and Darkroom – each of which is tailored for different scenarios, allowing users in different fields to achieve similar results.
The PD2725U features In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology, an anti-glare panel coating, 10-bit support for 1.07 billion colors, a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, a static contrast ratio of 1200:1, a typical brightness 250 cd/m2 and a peak HDR brightness of 400 cd/m2, 163 ppi, and a 5 ms (GtG) response time. Using the 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles, it is possible to watch content from virtually any position. There are also two HDMI 2.0 inputs, one DisplayPort 1.4 input, and two Thunderbolt 3 ports that each support DP alt mode for daisy-chaining multiple displays and data transfers. One Thunderbolt 3 port supports devices charging up to 65W, while the other supports it up to 15W. Additional connectivity is achieved using two USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A ports (downstream) and one USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-B port (upstream). Audio can be output using the dual integrated 2.5W speakers or the 3.5mm headphone jack.
BenQ’s PD2725U also supports HDCP 2.2, Flicker-Free technology, Low Blue Light technology, Picture in Picture (PiP), Picture by Picture (PbP), and more. To further help improve viewing and accessibility, it features a vertical tilt of -5 to 20°, a left/right swivel of ±30°, a clockwise/counterclockwise pivot of 90°, a height adjustment of 5.91″, and a 100 x 100mm VESA mount. It is certified for Mac, Windows 10, 8.1, 8, and 7, SolidWorks, and Calman.
Please note that the USB ports will only operate with data transmission speeds of 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2 when using the Thunderbolt 3 video input. If DisplayPort or HDMI is used, the data transmission speeds will operate at 5 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 1.

Look no further! I’ve searched tirelessly trying to find the best monitor to pair with my MacBook Pro M1. I’m a videographer and photographer and bought this monitor to have better color accuracy and help with video editing instead of working off a MacBook. After using the monitor for a month these are my opinions: Pros: – Excellent Clarity & Color (M-book profile is very comparable to MacBook color) -Screen size is very useful, especially for a video editor with its 16:9 ratio – Comparable resolution to previous iMac 5K Retina display. You can only see pixels if you’re extremely close to the screen – Easy setup and compatible with Apple devices – Delivered with Thunderbolt 3 cable Cons: – Base plate is quite large and deceiving in pictures. I would recommend buying a separate VESA monitor stand to cut down on desk clutter – Speakers are average – Plugging in cables (thunderbolt, usb, display ports) is quite difficult. Not user friendly. Overall, very satisfied with this purchase instead of buying a 5K monitor.

Great monitor and easy to calibrate using xRite. Fully adjustable height, tilt and even vertical. Nice alternative monitor.

Everything about the monitor is great (color, lighting, HDR, KVM, etc.), except for the fact that Brightness can only be controlled via the Display Pilot application, the Hotkey Puck G2, or the OSD. Volume can only be controlled via the Hotkey Puck G2, or the OSD. macOS can’t control Brightness or Volume of the display.

I’ve only been using this monitor for a week, but so far, it’s great—clear, brilliant, everything it’s supposed to be.

I actually love how simple this monitor was to inbox and get up and running in minutes. The clarity on my work station as a second monitor is making me say, why did I wait so long to get a good monitor? Watching 4K movies is just a plus. The colors and brightness levels are perfect during the day in sunlight and nice at night with lower levels of room lighting. All I can say is that this monitor is worth the investment. It’s got a sturdy build and looks great.

The HDR on this monitor is absolutely stunning in person, and the fact that it comes from the factory already calibrated is a huge plus. The KVM functionality works flawlessly, and has fixed a major stumbling point with my workstation where I’m frequently swapping between a MacBook and a PC tower. The power on the thunderbolt connection is enough to charge my 14 inch MacBook Pro, albeit slower than the official Apple adapter does. Also love that, unlike some monitors, there is a thunderbolt out port, so this doesn’t need to be at the very end of your thunderbolt chain.

We bought this monitor for our editing bay. We absolutely love it! Its dynamic in color gamuts and quickness in switching from either one with the switch control that is given is truly amazing. Highly recommend it!
