BenQ PD3225U 32-inch 4K Designer Monitor

The PD3225U DesignVue Designer 31.5″ 16:9 HDR 4K IPS Monitor from BenQ has been built to satisfy designers’ needs for color performance, with support for 99% of the sRGB and Rec. 709 color gamuts, 98% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, HDR10, and DisplayHDR 400. Driven by BenQ’s AQCOLOR technology and an Ultra HD 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 with a 60 Hz refresh rate, the PD3225U helps deliver improved accuracy and productivity tailored for specific tastes. It does this using three special modes—CAD/CAM, Animation, and DualView—each of which is tailored for different scenarios, allowing users in different fields to achieve similar results.

The PD3225U features In-Plane Black 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 2000:1, a brightness of 400 nits, 140 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 device charging up to 85W, while the other supports it up to 15W. Additional connectivity is achieved using one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port (data transfers only), three USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, and one USB-B 3.2 Gen 1. Audio can be output using the dual integrated 2.5W speakers or the 3.5mm headphone jack.

BenQ’s PD3225U 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.
