Design and Build Quality
BenQ has the reputation of making sturdy functional monitors rather than going for styling and funky designs, and the PD2705U features the same design language. The frame and stand and made of robust matte-finished black polycarbonate material and the back of the monitor is curved. The monitor is compatible with 100 x100 mm VESA mount and is easy to unbox and set up. The cylindrical pillar does not offer a cable management duct but has a plastic clip that can be used to bundle a few cables together.
Key Features
The PD2705U is a monitor specifically made for designers but can be used for photo editing as well. The device uses a 27-inch IPS panel with LED backlight. The panel offers 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution, providing 163 PPI and has a fixed refresh rate of 60 Hz. The monitor supports HDR10 and offers 350 nits of peak brightness with HDR. The panel has native contrast ratio of 1200:1. It offers a wide viewing angle of up to 178 degrees and 5 ms grey-to-grey response time. The display comes with an anti-glare coating.
