Review: Amazing - TL/DR: Amazing monitor. Great picture, Great Features. HotKey Puck - the accessory I didn't know I needed, but can't live without! Wish it had 1 or 2 more USB ports & Ethernet port. I shopped for a monitor for months. I have used dual 27" monitors for at least a decade. I've recently started to have trouble with vision - more than just my eyes getting old, but they are too. I thought getting a slightly larger monitor would be nice. Then my docking station for 2 laptops (built-in KVM) started to fail - and it had been discontinued and there were no replacements available. I had 2 choices, buy 2 docks, plus a KVM and all of the extra cables, or reevaluate my entire setup and consider a monitor with a built-in KVM. Frankly, it was a really tough decision. Lots of monitors with built-in KVM - not many that also have daisy-chain capability. And without daisy-chain capability, I'm back to needing 2 laptop docks and all the cables that would require. This monitor from BenQ was the only one that also let me take advantage of the Thunderbolt connection on my laptop. Another key requirement was 4K resolution capability. The Good: The picture quality is really good and the features are fantastic. The display is plenty bright, without being too bright. It is flicker-free and has settings to minimize blue light. The color calibration is far more than I need. All the various color settings and features are interesting and cool. I don't really use them but did find them interesting enough to check out. There is also a boatload of software that you can download, including eye care software that reminds you periodically to look away from the monitor etc. All good things to help preserve eye health. The Freakin' AWESOME The most exciting feature of the monitor is the hot-key puck. With other monitors that have a built-in KVM switch, the switch to changing computers is usually on the monitor itself - not always convenient or easy to reach. The hot-key puck has a 3–4-foot cord and allows you to navigate the on-screen menu without needing to reach the monitor. You can even customize the buttons (hotkeys). This handy-dandy device allows me to change the computer with a click of a button on the hot-key puck. While the cord is plenty long to be within reach without stretching, I do wish it was a tad bit longer or could use an extension cable, so that I could run the cord under my desk to minimize cord clutter. But that's a really petty complaint for a spectacular feature. The monitor stand is an outstanding feature with a well-thought design. The stand has quite a bit of heft to it - it's downright heavy. It has a flat plate that sits on the desk. It's suitable to place any number of small items you want to place below your monitor. It's almost large enough for my 13" Ultrabook to set on top of, but not quite. The monitor connects to the stand with a quick-release type of connection giving the back of the monitor a very finished look. Putting it together is a one-person job. The meh There is a single headphone jack on the side of the monitor. I made sure to get a right-angle plug to minimize the impact on the monitor alignment on my dual-monitor setup. Most of the connections are on the back of the monitor but facing upward - meaning it's impossible to see the connections with the monitor standing upright. It is much easier to plug everything in, then attach the monitor to the stand. I keep my user guide handy so that I can find the connection diagram if I need to unplug or reconnect anything. The Could-Be-Betters There is no ethernet port. You can certainly use one of those ethernet-to-USB adapters and plug that into a USB port. I found that to be slower than when I plugged the ethernet adapter directly into my laptop. It also uses a USB port. Which leads to.... There are only 4 USB 3.1 ports (3 USB-A, 1 USB-C) for peripherals. 2 of these ports (1 USB-A & 1 USB-C) are on the side of the monitor. Those are easy to reach, but when in use, they prevent smooth alignment with another monitor for multi-monitor set-ups. 4 USB ports are typical of many, if not most, KVM switches, but fewer than I need. I have a USB hub connected to one of the ports on my monitor. I do wish that there were an option for a monitor arm that was compatible with the quick-release feature. It is so easy for one person to attach, and it looks very finished. (One of the new BenQ monitors has an arm like another brand's arm that does fit. I haven't tried the other brand's arm long-term because there isn't enough room for all the cables with the monitor's KVM switch). I do wish that the new BenQ monitor arm was compatible and available to purchase without the new monitor. I would buy it in a second. Prior to researching for a new monitor, I had never heard of BenQ. Given my experience with this product though, they have moved to the top of my list for future monitor purchases.
Review: Excellent monitor for graphic design and video editing, great value - I've been using a BenQ PD3220U for over a year now (for graphic design and video editing), and liked it so much I bought another to pair with it as a second display. The BenQ compares very favorably to previous monitors I've used from NEC and Apple, but for less than half the cost. The color accuracy is excellent, build-quality is superb, and the display's brightness is more than adequate in my workspace. There's a good selection of ports, although accessibility to the ones on the back is a bit frustrating if you can't vertically rotate the monitor (mine sits under a bookshelf). Some of the setup instructions could use better clarification, particularly in regards to daisy-chaining displays and setting up the KVM switch, but BenQ's customer service has been very responsive to any questions I've had. The included Hotkey Puck is a convenient way to access the monitor's controls, however the icons on the buttons are nearly impossible to see, so I stuck my own P-Touch labels on them for better visibility (see photo). The monitor's stand is rock-solid and well-built. It's easily adjustable and has a good range of motion. The base is very flat and low-profile, so you can set things on top of it and it doesn't intrude on your usable desk space. For an excellent, color-accurate, yet still affordable monitor, I'd highly recommend it. There are three minor complaints I have with it: 1) At only 24", the included Thunderbolt 3 cable is effectively useless. If you plan on connecting with Thunderbolt 3, measure where you'll be installing your system before purchasing, so you can order a cable of the proper length. 2) If using more than one of these monitors together, each monitor must have its own dedicated Hotkey Puck. You can't control two monitors with one Puck (even if the monitors are daisy-chained together). Not a big deal, but it does increase desk clutter. (The Puck isn't required to use the monitor - there are buttons on the back to access the menus.) 3) I use the built-in KVMs to switch both monitors between two Macs. Mostly, it works fine. But there's an issue where if one of the connected Macs falls asleep, and I attempt to switch over to it, the Mac will not wake up and the monitor's entire USB bus and everything plugged into it will stop responding - keyboard, mouse, Puck, and all USB ports - and the KVM will get "stuck" on the sleeping Mac. If this happens, there are two fixes: 1) unplug/reconnect the USB (or Thunderbolt 3) cable going to the sleeping Mac, or 2) plug a keyboard directly into the sleeping Mac to wake it up. In either case, once the Mac is awake, the monitor's USB ports and all connected devices will start working normally again. BenQ customer support says this is a MacOS issue (which I fully believe).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Feature-packed, High-quality Monitor at a Fair Price
*by J***O on March 25, 2023*

While not inexpensive, this monitor's quality and features make it near-perfect. My workflow includes photo and video editing and the typical productivity tasks. I also switch between a Mac Studio and a custom PC, which makes the KVM feature super-valuable. Quality: After I purchased this monitor, I performed a side-by-side comparison with my Samsung UC3899, and it was no contest. The most striking difference was viewing 4K HDR video. The color accuracy, brightness, and contrast are all great. And while the pixel density isn't perfect for Mac OS (very few monitors are), the scaling works fine, and the text is crisp and clean. Convenience: My favorite thing about this monitor is the convenience its features deliver. The KVM switch makes it dead simple to switch between computers and have the speakers, microphone, and peripherals follow. The hotkey puck is also great for everyday tasks and adjusting the brightness throughout the day. Construction: This is one of the most solidly-built monitors I've ever owned. I planned on attaching it to the VESA arm already on my desk, but the stand is so well-built (and aesthetically pleasing) that I dispensed with the arm. It has greatly simplified my setup and allows me to easily slide the monitor down to expose the mirrorless camera hidden behind it when I need to turn on the webcam (see uploaded images). Value: I feel like this monitor's quality, features, and build ultimately justify its price tag. I'm very close to giving it five stars, and the refresh rate is the only thing holding me back. If this supported 120 Hz, it would be the perfect monitor (for me).
