The BenQ PD2720U UHD monitor delivers a fantastic color reproduction and accuracy packed into a sleek design with an adjustable stand. Considering its price, be aware of the not-so-effective speakers and a limited refresh rate.

Overview

The BenQ PD2720U is the brand’s high-end 27-Inch 4K UHD monitor released in 2019. It promises good color accuracy, which makes it a perfect fit for designers and creative professionals alike. With nearly zero bezels on 3 sides, an adjustable stand, and wide availability of ports, its design is sleek and aesthetically pleasing. While it is an expensive option, the professional color gamut and accuracy paired with HDR10 make it worthwhile for serious users.

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

The BenQ PD2720U is a great choice for creative professionals, with its professional color accuracy and sleek design. It’s not the best for gamers, though, as its speakers are weak and the refresh rate is limited to 60Hz. But if you’re a designer, photo or video editor, it’s a great long-term purchase, with its adjustable stand and solid build. Just make sure you need the professional-grade color accuracy before you commit to the price.
