    BenQ PD3200U Reviews

    Excellent Value

    By Steven

    I was looking for a color accurate monitor to process my astronomy CCD/CMOS images with and having bought 2 previous BenQ monitors which have been great I looked at their current lineup. The native frames are 4008x2672 pixels so a larger monitor made working with these at native size much easier. It also allowed the finer details to be seen which was important. I'm happy that B&H had this monitor in stock and at a great price. It meets my needs very well.

    Great Monitor!

    Very happy with this monitor! Not a single bright or dark sub pixel anywhere. Great color. I thought of the SW series but felt it would be overkill for video editing which is what I used it for. I'm using it with the Mac Studio and setting it up involved plugging in a HDMI cable and turning the computer and monitor on. That was it!

    Audio Jack malfunction, screen is dull

    I had the BenQ GW2765 worked for 6 year with great result. Just want to upgrade to bigger monitor, and got this one. Audio Jack malfunction, it won't play sound and the speaker keep playing the sound. The BenQ support won't be able to figure it out. It is so sad it breaks on the tiny jack. Screen is dull. I did a side by side of my old BenQ monitor with this one, the brightness of 40% on the old monitor is brighter than the new one at 60% ! Unbelievable. I have to return it back.

    Great Monitor!

    Excellent color right out of the box. Love all the extra real estate over my 27. Works with my Mac Studio and have plenty of easy management features.

    Terrible Light bleed

    I bought two of these monitors a few years ago and they worked fine (although picture quality was disappointing) for a couple years, and then light bleed started showing up on both of them. It's unusable now for graphics work. Never buying BenQ again.

    Awesome Monitor for the price

    I've had this monitor now for about 7 months. I bought it back around October of 21'. And sure it is a few years old, it originally came out back in 2017 and a new version has been released since. But I got mine for about $770 out the door. I was considering getting Dell's 32 4k monitor for about $950, but after some research. This one was the overall better choice. Better color accuracy, supports 10 bit color dept while Dell's didn't and it was more cheaper. Probably my only gripe is that it has thick bezels, but so what. Once you turn it on and start working, it doesn't matter, the bezels aren't something you focus on and the picture quality is AMAZING. If you're on a budget and looking for a really good 32 4k monitor, this one is it.

    Best monitor for the money, for my needs.

    The size is good for a single monitor set up, using it for work, play, and hobby of photography.

    Bought 2 of these on a recommendation and I'm VERY happy with the quality. Setting it up, the monitor feels very solid, controls are just ok, but the picture unity is really really good. I use it for Color Grading, Editing Video and Photos. Really good budget color grading monitor. I have to get a monitor calibrator to dial it in. You NEED an special cable to hook it up to a Mac so that wasn't the best thing, but 15 dollars later it was working great and looks good!

    The monitor is color accurate out of the box. It include the calibration report. You also can purchase a calibration device, and use software to calibrate the PD models to your liking.

    How does this monitor compare to the ASUS 32 inch PA328Q? Trying to decide whether to get the PA328Q now or wait for the BenQ PD3200 U.

    Asus PA328Q is better for color correction and Image processing. The BenQ PD3200U has a faster refresh rate for gaming and video editing with and additional kvm switch.

    Specific to 2016 to present MacBook Pros, have you experienced the flickering issue? I know this has been asked previously, but I want to focus answers to 2016+ MacBook Pros. After reading the most recent reviews on Amazon, it seems the flickering problem is still an issue. Please describe how you connected the MacBook Pro with the monitor. HDMI? DisplayPort (DP)? Other? Thanks
    Asked by: Michael
    Hello there, while there is no know issue with Macs and Flickering. There is a issue with some of the older PD3200U monitors where we had to upgrade the firmware to address the flickering issue. Some of the older versions still in Amazon stock had the older firmware, which is why you saw these older reviews with the issue. This has since been addressed and resolved. However, this was at the start of July that the upgrades were pushed, so all current units will have the up-to-date Firmware. You shouldn't have an issue with this monitor and flickering if you purchase from BH photo. Warm Regards Sean BenQ Support.

    Might be a silly question, but did you connect the USB A to USB B cable to a USB port on your computer? This in addition to the HDMI/Display port cable.
