Thank you so much for this terrific video Jordan.
I do a lot of graphics/digital illustration work, and was very close to buying the PD322OU but this model is significantly more attractive on cost and does plenty enough for my needs it seems.
It arrives tomorrow!
So awesome!! I’m glad this video was able to help. Enjoy the monitor!
Got the 3220U, definitely would recommend. Changing the colour profiles with the hub, I never knew I needed this and cannot now imagine being without.
Great review!! I’ve seen a bunch of monitor reviews lately and almost narrowed down my search to this 32” benq pd3205u. Looks like it will be really helpful for me as I’m a photography enthusiast. But still can’t decide on how much better this will be for my 9-5 job as I am already using a 27” Dell P2720.
I am still using your desk wallpaper. Love the setup!
Perfect timing as well, im looking for my first color accurate monitor. Out of curiosity, what was the delta e score? And what do you think of the PD3220u?
Thank you for the very good review.
Is the screen matte or glossy?
Great review and helped me make my decision to go with BenQ!
Any chance of getting a link to that desktop?
Thanks for the review! Just wondering if this one or the PD3220u is better?
Hi there, thanks so much for the review. So is the only difference between PD3205U and the PD2705U the size? I am looking for an affordable monitor - mainly doing photo and video stuff. This still seems to be a good choice in 2024 to me.. not really sure about the size tho. I currently have a 27" (BenQ EW277HDR), I think it's time for an upgrade. Thanks for the vid! Great stuff.
Love the review! Its amazing how you mesh style and function into your setup and that its not overkill like mine :D where i don't use it to its full potential :D
5 stars Jordan!
Aye thank you dude!! I disagree. Your setup is not overkill 🔥 it’s killer!
Great Review. What about the scaling issue?
This video in itself is color graded beatifully.
@JordanPulmano how would you rate this for bit depth? I have been going back and forth on a true 10 bit monitor or an 8 bit+frc, which this monitor seems to be. I also have found that the Viewsonic 3256 is a solid monitor that matches this BenQ pretty perfectly as an ips 8bit+frc monitor, my other concern is the brightness
Hi Jordan, thank you for the video, that's a great review! Reading reviews etc I saw a couple of issues that people reported - mostly on Macs. So I though to ask you:
Have you had any flickering and consistency issues through the USB-C connection? Also, does it work properly as a hub?
I really have my eyes on this monitor for some time now - it's gonna run on a M1 Mac Mini. Thank you in advance! :)
did you get it? and does it have any issue?
Does the Monitor have a light sensor (automatic adjusting brightness) ??? I have a Benq Office Monitor in Full HD.. Love this option. I know this one has a Brightness Control wheel...
Great Video!! I wonder how does it compares to the LG-32UN880-B? It would mean a lot if you reply me 🙇🏻♂ . Thanks in advance 🙏
Hi there, thats a great video.
I noticed you mentioned connecting two display SAME PD3205U models. via adaptor and diaplay port, like some dailsy chaining. Can you please Help me with which port you used . and how did you connect two as it didn't work out for me with USB-c hub . COULD YOU PLEASE HELP WITH THE CONNECTIVITY SOLUTION.
I'm buying a 32 inch monitor for photo editing and additionally for watching CZcams videos in my spare time. I have limited desk space and notice it has built-in speakers. I suspect they aren't high quality but are they acceptable for watching CZcams videos of singers performing?
Bought the 27inch today, watching video again, this review pushed me over the edge. Thanks 😎
Aye! Hope you like it!
Thank you for the video. How did you like the combination with the 27" in portrait mode? Any Mac scaling issues using both a 32" and 27"?
any update on scaling?
How would this compare to the ASUS ProArt PA329CV?
I am into making music and last year I got a Mac Mini M1 with 16gb ram... My main focus is ofcourse making my music and in making that I use a lot of plugins (I make House) sp my question is will this screen take some power out of my Mini so it will run slow or will I notice nothing ? I sit for many hours so I want things on the screen to look good also that is why I am loooking at this screen
Could you please give the dimensions of the stand (for the 32” one) and thank you.
How is the kvm switch functionality and scaling been?
Hi, how can i use KVM switch with mac mini M1 and mac book pro?
And what if you have a 27 inch 4k monitor (i want this one,lol) and een 1080p 27 inch monitor,will u get issues with scaling?
Perfect timing! I just stumbled across this monitor and struggled to find good reviews. Always enjoy your tech walkthroughs - objective, to-the-point, chill, and well shot. Are you planning to keep these in your setup?
Thanks Adam!! I’m glad it was helpful. Yeah I’m definitely keeping these in my setup atleast for a little while. I’ve been very happy with them.
hi man! I was wondering, if you could choose between the BenQ PD2705U or the Dell U2720Q, which one would you choose for photo/video editing? I think I’ve watched YT videos for six hours a day to search for a new monitor but I just can’t decide 😩 the only negative thing I’ve heard about the Dell is the backlight bleed. I hope you could give me the golden advice… thanks a lot!
If P3 is important to your workflow, I would consider either the dell or even the BenQ photovue!
I have not used the Dell, but I have heard great things
What is the arm model and brand attached to the 27in.?
Is it good for gaming?
What type of monitor arm did you use?
What about the blacks and the IPS glow?
is this monitor good for people who work with texts like programmers?
Where did you get the sick background?
It is awesome, I can't find it anywhere.
Next Question .... My PS3205U came last night... my 12 hour first impression is.. its WAY to dim for my liking. It's decent with HDR turned on, but for professional photo editing, I shouldn't be editing with HDR, right? This one might be getting returned. I love the 4k and 32" size though (coming from a 34" LG UW)
Did you find a good replacement?
You do realize that having a Very bright monitor is a Negative when Photo Efiting?
Does it has IPS Glow? Backlight Bleed? I'll buy it to watch the movie. would you suggest? Thanks for review.
Which one did you buy?
@@kumardeepanshu8503 Dell S2721HS 27" Bad for movie. Have ips glow.
have you check the LG 27UP850-W? I was about to get it, but this review made me think about it, what do you think about the LG 27UP850-W?
So funny, my friend literally texted me 30 minutes ago saying he bought one!
I’m a huge fan of LG monitors. Before I got BenQ, I used a similar LG model for 5 years. They are great and reliable.
@@JordanPulmano hope you’d be able to get one for testing/review. Regards
Did you get lg or benq ?
Lg no rec 709? Right?
can we have a updated setup tour plz
Absolutely! That’s next up on the list of videos.
Bought it as a solution for the M1/M2 MacBook fuzzy screen issue.
Thanks for the video! Can anyone advise what kind of cable you need for macbook pro (usb c) to displayport? Ta.
You can either get DisplayPort to usbc adapter or a cable that is DisplayPort to usb c. They have them on Amazon 👌
What your thoughts about 250 nits brightness, how screen becoms in daylight
I did notice that it can be dim during the brightest time of day in my office. Typically when using it I am video editing so I close the blinds and I have no issues.
How are you hooking up to the Mac Studio with DP? My mac Studio only has HDMI and and bunch of thunberbolt/usb-c slots....
Through my harddrive array! You can also purchase adapters
@@JordanPulmano word!
10 bit or 8bit +frc ?
What would be the main differences between the PD3220U and the new PD3205U ?
This is my question to! Did you ever find out?
B&H site shows the difference between the two!
@@Oakcitymedia Got the 3220U, definitely would recommend. Changing the colour profiles with the hub, I never knew I needed this and cannot now imagine being without.
how is mac scaling?
I am looking to buy a monitor and it's driving me crazy at i thought that the pd3205u was the best option, i know that you had it. It's a 32 inch that to me is going to be best for a single monitor and worked good with a mac but now i noticed that you switched to this lg. Can you compare the two models based on your experience. Please that would really help me decide because monitors are confusing af.... thanks dude
Both the LG and the Benq are amazing monitors. They both work with Mac about the same.
What I like about BenQ is the hardware calibration. What I like about my newest LG ultra fine is the brightness and that it has P3 which I’ve been using more of lately.
Benq has P3 options as well but I went with lG because it was on sale and I liked the features it had.
Look at what you use your setup for most and get the monitor you feel will be best for that!
Is 99% good enough for photo editing compared to 100% Srgb?
Same question
We would appreciate an answer please
1:55 No Adobe RGB so not really well suited for photography?
@Wilds Photo & Film yes your right, I agree.
What kind of chair do you have?
Autonomous Ergochair Pro!
Sounds like paid review .. did you get this one for free?
60Hz only, on these days? Sorry, but NO thank you
The only reason a 120hz monitor is necessary is for gaming or consuming high frame rate content. Which this monitor is specially not made for any of that. They do have a line of gaming monitors that do offer that though.
Gamers again. Just play your games. Not everyone games. Not everything is made for gamers.
@@bassyey No gamers... stop assuming what you dont know... 60Hz even to watch videos in a 32 inch screen is terrible... sorry, 60Hz nowadays is ridiculous. Unless you want to go to Apple ecosystem. For PC... sorry, but NO.
@@MrFLORESBR I’m a Mac only user. I have a dedicated gaming monitor and use this for daily work. CZcams videos is the only videos I watch on this. Other than that do you see anything else wrong with 60hz? No movies on it, no gaming on it, just productivity and photo editing.
Which monitor you use ?
Not once did you mention what 95% of people use a monitor for and that is GAMING! THE most important use for any monitor. What is it like for gaming? OK, you are a MAC user, so gaming is an alien concept, but I was hoping you could at least run a few.
Disagree
A ridiculous amount of people use monitors for editing photos and videos
And I’m a Mac user awn over 500 games
I have never once used a monitor for gaming and have been console gaming since I was 6. I use mine for editing, work, and content
Shut up Yogi.
