Creative professionals seeking a high-quality display with seamless integration with their Mac setups now have a new option from BenQ. The company recently launched the PD3225U, a 32-inch 4K monitor boasting several features specifically designed for Mac users.

The refresh rate is limited to 60Hz, but the monitor is not specifically meant for gaming

Building upon its predecessor, the PD3220U, the PD3225U offers several enhancements catered towards creative workflows. These include an improved DCI-P3 color space (98% coverage), ensuring accurate color reproduction crucial for tasks like photo editing and video production. Additionally, the monitor boasts “precise color matching for Macs,” aiming to deliver color fidelity consistent with what users see on their MacBook Pro laptops.

The PD3225U features a 31.5-inch IPS Black panel with a 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) and a 16:9 aspect ratio. The anti-glare finish minimizes reflections, while the 2000:1 contrast ratio promises deep blacks and vivid colors. While the refresh rate is limited to 60Hz, the monitor offers HDR support (HDR10/Display HDR 400) for enhanced contrast and color depth in compatible content.

Beyond the display itself, the PD3225U caters to Mac users in several ways. The included Hotkey Puck G2 allows for quick adjustments to various monitor settings, and the Display Pilot 2 software enables brightness control directly from the Mac keyboard. Notably, the monitor features one Thunderbolt 3 port with 85W power delivery, allowing users to connect their MacBook and power it simultaneously.

While some might have preferred a 5K resolution or higher power delivery via the Thunderbolt port, these features would likely push the price closer to competitors like Apple’s Studio Display and Samsung’s ViewFinity S9.

The BenQ PD3225U is available for purchase directly from BenQ, Amazon, and other retailers for a price of $1,099. While not the most feature-packed option on the market, it presents a compelling choice for Mac-using creative professionals seeking a high-quality 4K display with color accuracy and convenient integration features at a competitive price point.
