I have 4 ViewSonic VP2768-4K. they came factory calibrated with the calibration sheet enclosed. They are 2 wide and 2 high. I am very satisfied with them. My main use for them is for civil design work. I use a real time 3D rendering of the design to check the design.
-
Not just helpful... but by far the cutest, funniest, relaxed monitor review I have ever seen. Your cool personality shines through.
-
This was really helpful, thank you! I'm in the same boat right now choosing a new monitor and feeling stuck with analysis paralysis!
-
Good choice. I have the smaller 27 inch version in 4k and it's awesome, said with a year of experience. Gives little to no eye strain.
-
I've had the P3200P at home for 3 years and I have to say that it's the best monitor I've ever used. I heard that the 3220U is a step up so I added it to my list for my workstation at work. I'm really looking forward to using that Puck!
-
I'm sure the studio display is very pleasing, but for the price tag they are asking I could not justify the cost for what we are getting in return. I ended up buying this same benQ monitor to go with my studio and still had nearly 500 left over which went towards a 24" iMac (base model) for another room which in essence gave me a 24" iMac plus a larger 32" over 27" display for about 500 (UK £) more. Excellent video.
-
I shot my first portrait session the other day and it went really well! Thanks for all the help :)
-
Enjoyed listening to your thought process and what was important for you. Have fun.
-
Your review came in extremely helpful! Been looking for a monitor with similar demands as you and the BenQ caught my attention. You have pretty much one of the more thorough and enjoyable reviews out there. Flash forward I took your advice and have immediately fell in love, they were running a LNY deal and I couldn't pass it up, excellent recommendation. Quick question I too am a photographer and was curious as to how you color cal'd.
-
With regard to wake time and typing your password in the dark, I changed my cable from 'USB-C to HDMI' to 'USB-C to DisplayPort' and my monitor now wakes considerably faster - almost instantaneous. Another DisplayPort tip, make doubly sure that that both connectors are fully pushed in. Mine weren't initially and I was beginning to think that the cable was faulty which it wasn't. Thank you for an informative video.
-
BenQs are great monitors for photography, I know few people that have used them for years and love them, I have one myself and even though is an older model I still love the picture quality. Great choice Omar!
-
😂 I moved from the PD322OU to the Apple studio display and no regrets. There is a known BenQ issue with the m1’s (I have a max mini m1) connectivity - I had to use the hdmi to get 60htz (the usb c would only give 30htz) switching off and on and getting the screen to work was a real pain - I would have to force a connection using the joystick on the back. With the Apple studio display being 5k I surprisingly I don’t miss the size difference over the 32” 4K.
-
Exactly the video I was looking for. Thank you!
-
Hey, just found your channel because I've been trying to decide on a monitor also. Even thought I went with the LG UltraFine 4K 32in Ergo I really appreciated your video and loved that you showed your personality here and there throughout the video, you wouldn't believe how many monitor review videos I've watched that were just boring and full of stats but your video felt different. Thanks for posting and you've gotten a new subscriber!
-
Fab review as always! Thanks!
-
I glad you found a monitor that fits your workflow and you are happy with it.
-
Yesss! I love my BenQ!! I was so excited that is what you picked!
-
I have two of these and I'm very happy with it. I don't know if anybody mentioned it in the comments, but there is a software by Benq to control your monitors called "Display Pilot". I find this very helpful.
-
Really helpful, thank you!
-
Good choice Omar! I have two of these and love them.
