BenQ PD3205U 32 inch 4K UHD IPS Monitor USB-C, 99% sRGB and Rec.709, HDR10, Ergonomic Design, Eye-Care, Built-in Speakers

Pros: - IPS with LED backlight has minimal bleed (there is some but it's evenly spaced, making it barely noticeable.
- Perfect calibration from the factory (100% sRGB, 100% Rec. 709, 2.2 gamma)
- It comes with a serialized calibration report - not an add-on to scoff at, imo.
- True 10-bit (10bpc) display (yes, it is NOT 8bit+FRC or other makeshift "10bit" non-sense), gradients are perfectly smooth. I don't know why this feature isn't advertised on their site? (and yes, the 10bit option is selectable in nVidia control panel).
- imo 4k on 27" is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. The pixel pitch is 0.155mm - which makes it among the tightest and most densely pixel-packed desktop monitors out there. (not considering mobile devices, of course)
- imo if you're working on anything web (photography, design or even prog.), you'll likely love the color accuracy - it's simply perfect, as verified by a spider calibrator.
- Has intelligently designed presets for various typical uses like movies, CAD, photography, browsing, etc.. (and the presets/calibration actually make sense)
- Only 60hz but that's as-expected. It still performs well for gaming and the color-accuracy + 4k makes games look absolutely stunning with deep blacks and vibrant colors.
- Low blue light modes (love this!)
- EyeCare and rest-reminders are always useful
- Not a single dead pixel to be found on my unit
- Extremely solid build quality. The best I've ever seen in a display in fact (except for Eizo, of course)

Cons: - Comes with a very short DP cable.
- Terrible on-board speakers but... who cares and when is that not the case on monitors?
- Don't expect this thing to sit small on a desk, it's fairly huge/heavy for it's spec.
- The touch power button is annoying (press and hold to turn on isn't 100% responsive - that's truly annoying)
- Haven't found a way to keep the display in standby mode, if it exists at all, to prevent from having to turn it on manually every single time I turn on my PC.

Overall Review: I've had this display for several months now and I've yet to be disappointed. I don't toss the word perfection lightly but I could not find a single flaw with the main component - the display itself. It's just... perfectly accurate and EXACTLY to spec. While I was shopping, I had created a complete spreadsheet of all the 4k/5k monitors out there to compare and I couldn't come up with a better price/quality outcome, imo. Many people often try to shop for the "full stack" (full 100% coverage of every color space) but that's often not required. If you work in sRGB or Rec. 709, you're in for a wonderful treat with this one... I think the pricing is fair, BenQ deserves to make a solid profit on this monitor, they've done a wonderful job here. I'd recommend and/or buy again without a second thought.

Pros: bright, vivid 4k screen

Cons: has the same dark vertical bands found on similar 32" benq models like the 3201PH/PT and the acer 326 (look up hardforum), unacceptable for this price range. would have been a great screen otherwise.

Overall Review: AUO/BENQ: Please improve your QC or start selling these for $400, not close to a grand!
