Please note that the monitor is FACTORY calibrated - not hardware calibrated as mentioned in the video, my apologies
you are my art mother always helping me and lighting my path, caring. THANK YOU ❤
Yup subbed straight away when you did that glare test. Surprised with all the channels i watch you showed the most competence to not just talk but show in precision
I love your tech reviews. Very inspiring and helpful!
Thank you so much for this review! Just ordered mine!
thanks for this review. it helped me decide finally to go with this monitor
By just seeing 2 of your videos, I immediately subscribed 😁 because your point of view really represents creative workers who are mainly in developing countries. The perspective to understand the latest technology & its features is returned to its ability to function & benefit according to needs & ease of use.
I'm using BenQ PD2700Q for 2 years now and it's amazing. I still have no reason to upgrade, but 32" 4k sounds great.
Very nice option. Thanks for your insights.
this has to be the best review on this monitor.
and im just a photography enthusiast.
cheers!
I like how you used the monitor in the background as a canvas for the text animation. I thought that was really clean looking.
Funny how I was just looking at BenQ monitors today (coz I wanna revamp my desk setup) and thought to check your channel, in case you had a review of these monitors ahah mindreader!! Thank you for sharing.
Great review. Thank you.
yet another great video, thank you
Adam I just got a refurb m1 max pro and sold my imac pro 2017 (and instantly was amazed at how fast m1 is vs intel) but yeah need a large display now so I just ordered one today since I trust your review as a fellow digital artist who deeply respects your work. Thank you hope it works out well!
Are you enjoying the monitor?
I can’t wait, mine is on the way :o)
BenQ makes great affordable monitors for creative professionals. I'm sort of waiting for them to update their top of the line 32" (SW321C) model to finally go to a 32" 4K one.
As for the LG Ultrafine, I agree. I think many Mac users liked or preferred that monitor was mostly because it was 5K compared to 4K, so you'd get an exact 2X in the MacOS UI. Aside from that, nothing much more for creatives.
Much appreciated😊
32" in portrait is a lot. In college I did it thinking it would help be get through a chapter in a textbook without needing to touch the mouse a lot. Didn't think the whole chapter would be on the screen at once.
Thanks for the great review Adam. If you have a second, I have a question for you. I'm also a digital painter (stills - no animation) and am looking at the PD2720U. Like the PD3220U, it covers all of the sRGB gamut, but doesn't include the aRGB gamut (outside of the sRGB space, of course). Have you ever found this to be an issue when having your work printed? For screen work, sRGB is what you want but for printing, wouldn't you need aRGB? Many thanks!
afterthought.
i first was concerned about where i could get the monitor repaired if the power failed. As rare as it might be, it has happened to me when i lived up the way from a substation. Brownouts were frequent and blackouts, in less than a year....poof! However, the city finally upgraded our power lines and our building upgraded its breaker boxes. Another reason to have an external power brick, less weight i
I have 35 years of working with computer graphics and have never experienced such a thing. Even on older technologies like CRT monitor and those old green phosphorus monitors. So I don't think that is something you should be concerned about. Unless you're e really unlucky person to have that happen twice.
Great review. what do you use for storage since you connect your MacBook ? thank you
I love this monitor so much, I have two of them
How far are you from the screen? I’m a video editor and was excited, but now thing my desk may not be deep enough. How’s it working out with your setup?
@@NatWallen-Realtor-Charleston I am one and a half arms length, so pretty far. I love it. But I wouldn't want it any closer.
i have the 2k version, fantastic monitors
@AdamDuffArt - Love the comprehensive review. Thank you. QUESTION: You mentioned ample desk space. I work at a desk with a corner section (IKEA). How far back would you say is a good distance for this monitor to sit from the eyes? My current view of my 27" iMac is about 30" from the screen. Would pushing it back to maybe 32-33" be possible? I just don't want to pass up the 32" because the price is so close to the 2725 model price right now/
What table is your workstation sitting on? Looks really nice!
Thank you for the review, Adam. I've been torn between this monitor and BenQ's 32" 4K Mobiuz monitor that you previously reviewed. I prefer the aesthetics of the PD32 along with it's much better color modes, but I also am an invested gamer, and anything less than 120Hz would be unideal... Decisions decisions. 🙃
SImple, get one of each XD!!
maybe you shouldnt be looking at a creator monitor then?
Hi Adam! Thanks for posting this. I'm looking at the 2725u and the 2700u and there's a price difference (about 430-840). Don't think the 2720u is avail now. Would the 2725u be the monitor which is closest to your experience with the PD3220? Just wondering if there's enough of a difference with the color to jump up in price. I'm an artist looking to upgrade my studio to something I'll be happy with for a while.
Have you experienced image sticking? Many users complain that if a static image is displayed on the monitor for 20 minutes or more, then it remains visible on other images for some time.
Does it has IPS Glow? Backlight Bleed? I'll buy it to watch the movie. would you suggest? Thanks for review.
If I can recommend an amazing vesa mount (I vesa mounted an Imac Pro years ago..) Ergotech Freedom Arm HD, it is amazing.
Hi :-) I am looking for a new screen for one of my music setups (I use a Mac Mini M1) I actually have two setups both have a M1 Mac Mini. I just bought teh BenQ PD3420Q (NOT 4k) and I love it! So now I am looking for one more to go with my second setup! I tried the new PD3205U but I was not super impressed! But it is newer compared to the PD3220U and cheaper regarding price. Right now I am trying a Dell ultrasharp 4k u3219q and I it great no doubt but will I be more impressed with the PD3220U ? On paper the Dell has better specs (but specs do not always tell what works for you) Am I right in that PD3220U was released in 2019 ? As I said i do not make film or do any foto stuff, but make music and I wnat everything on the scrren to look super sharp with great colors (almost like the new apples displays, but they are to exspensiv) Any thoughts ? What is the real difference between the PD3220U and PD3205U ? Sorry for the long message :-)
Any recommendation for a display that’s GPU agnostic, not Freesync etc?
Hi Adam (and everyone here),
Thank you for this great review and the amazing content, talks and thoughts you share in general. :)
I am a Graphic Designer and I'm looking for a monitor to pair it with my M1 Mac Mini and I was wondering:
Do you use the particular monitor for any printed applications? I know that the Adobe RGB coverage it's fairly limited (an unofficial 80% if I'm not mistaken.), but is it good enough for occasional printed projects in your opinion?
Although I don’t have consistent printed projects, when I do, I need the monitor to be trustworthy.. And monitors with 100% Adobe RGB coverage are significantly more expensive (with some exceptions from Asus.)
But to be honest I have my eyes on this BenQ for some time now!
Thank you in advance and I hope all the best! :)
Very expensive monitor… but, as someone who’s gonna do digital art as a career I must get this asap. Thank you for ur wonderful review!
Why not LG C2 42 display (OLED)?
So what does text look like on the PD3220U?
Adam, I love the composition of your camera videos. Is it too hot in that studio with many lights? And how long did it take you to make that studio? Because it looks quite pricey hahs
Not at all - they’re LED’s which don’t emit much heat
I just bought this monitor for my M1 Pro Mac and found it incredibly dim. At first I thought the backlight wasn't up, but it was at 100%. This is the dimmest monitor I've ever used. I work in a brighter room and struggle to read on it. even with the blinds covering the window. Am I missing something? I feel like I just wasted my money.
Hi, I'm undecided whether to buy the Studio Display or the BenQ PD3225U. Can you give me an objective opinion? Comparing them, excluding the difference in resolution, which one wins in terms of contrast and color uniformity beyond the numbers on paper?
For development, is a 60hz 4k better than a 1440p 165hz monitor?
Thanks for a terrific review. Are you recommending this monitor over the Mac Studio Monitor?
Are you using just Mac? If you are, you get the best image quality with Mac Studio Monitor. If you wish to save some money and have excellent picture quality, adjustable quality stand, more connectivity, Thunderbolt daisy chaining, this is a good choice.
Honestly those designer apple monitors you keep mentioning are what I've got my eyes on 👀
Is it good for ps5 is HDR bright and good colors?
what about the apple studio displays that you like are you still gonna use them?
I adore them - both :)
@@AdamDuffArt if you could only choose one? What would you choose?
Ich schwanke zwischen dem Asus ProArt PA32UCX-R mit integrierter Kalibrierungseinheit (neu 2024) und dem Eizo CG319.
Nur die permanente Kalibrierung (welches Zeitintervall: Minuten?) und temperaturunabhängige Farbtemperatur sprechen für den rund 1000 Euro teuren Eizo. ?
Ich kenne nur den Prad.de-Test des „alten“ PA32ucx-k mit WB = 5700 K beim Einschalten bis 6400 K nach 90 Minuten. Wie sieht der aktuelle Vergleich aus (Februar 2024)? Zumal sich der neue Asus auch programmiert bzw. manuell in kurzen Zeitintervallen kalibrieren lässt. Hat jemand Erfahrungen vor allem mit der Farbtemperaturdrift, die angeblich nur der Eizo nicht hat (Preis derzeit 3900.-)
I don't know if I should get the BenQ PD3220U 32" or the Apple Studio Display? Any suggestions, anyone?
Save the money and get the BenQ. The sooner you ween yourself off of Apple products the better. I have 4 machines with two each of these monitors in the office and they are fantastic monitors. More than half the cost!!
@@adamphillips6747 I feel you but my laptop is a Mac, it seems like if you want anything to work these days, you'll have to stay within the Apple Eco-system...but I appreciate the advice.
Studio Display is better?
Wanna know why he just glanced over the speakers of the monitors? Because they suck. They're "Meh" at best, sounding pretty bland and boring, no color to them at all. It's as if they're an afterthought, which is why it's more meant for professionals in color correction. Only way I would know this is because I have almost the exact same monitor, the BenQ PD3200U 32" 4K. The monitor puck isn't as nice as the one Adam is reviewing, but it really is awesome for Color correction.
You shouldn't be buying a monitor for the speakers.
If I wanted a good speaker I would buy a separate speaker lol
Righ
tHE INFLUENCER, NO MORE....
Why didn’t you mention anything about text and scaling? Poor review.
too much bass in audio, cant concentrate on your words
Hello! I wanted to share something really important with you: the Gospel message. You've probably heard it before, but do you really know it? God sent His only Son to die for His people's sin. Why did He do that? To make us right with God. Why? Because God created the world, but then sin came in through Adam and we are all born sinners. We have all sinned against Him and are His enemies. However, God sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for His people's sin and make us right with God. We aren't perfect, but He was. So why does that matter? Withouth Jesus we're all going to hell. So what each of us need to do is repent of our sins and turn to Him, asking for Him to forgive us and save us. He gives us eternal life and peace. Through Him we can get to heaven. No one gets to heaven by themselves. I hope you don't ignore me. God bless you!
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28
Bye forever. Thanks for backing evil blue
I'd rather be a hated artist than a professional. what an oxymoron "professional art"
