The verdict

The BenQ PD3220U is a professional-grade 32-inch 4K monitor praised for its excellent display performance, versatile connectivity including Thunderbolt 3, and a convenient KVM switch. Its sleek design and high-quality build make it a strong contender for creative professionals, though the built-in speakers are a weak point and its brightness is only adequate for HDR.

Strengths

  • +Excellent display performance with 4K resolution, high pixel density, and HDR capability
  • +Wide range of connectivity options including Thunderbolt 3, HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C
  • +Built-in KVM switch for easy control of multiple computers
  • +Sleek and modern design with thin bezels and a sturdy metal base
  • +High-quality build and solid construction

Watch-outs

  • Built-in speakers are not great
  • Brightness is only 350 cd/m2, which is not ideal for HDR content

How it compares

The BenQ PD3220U offers a unique advantage with its built-in KVM switch, allowing seamless control of multiple computers, a feature absent in the Dell U2723QE, LG UltraFine 32UN880-B, and ASUS ProArt PA279CRV. It also boasts Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, which is more advanced than the USB-C on the LG and ASUS, though its brightness is less ideal for HDR than some competitors, and it doesn't match the 5K resolution of the Samsung ViewFinity S9.
