Best Monitor for Mac & Photos editing - I bought this monitor primarily for photo editing and running my Mac setup, and honestly, it’s been fantastic. 31.5-inch 4K screen gives you so much room to work. When I’m editing files, the detail and color accuracy right out of the box are amazing. The IPS Black contrast really makes photos pop without looking fake or overly saturated. What really sold me, though, was how clean the Mac integration is. Running a single Thunderbolt 3 cable for display, data, and 85W charging keeps my desk completely clutter-free. The color profiles match my screen smoothly, and switching settings on the fly is super simple. If you do any serious photography, visual work, or just want a crisp, reliable 4K monitor for a Mac, this one is worth every penny.

Customer reviews
Write a reviewI really loved the connection with my MacBook - This monitor is super versatile; I wouldn't change a thing about it.
I'm enjoying this monitor! - I use it everyday for work and am very pleased with the quality. I like the puck that comes with it.
Customer service is horrible. beware b4 purchase - Buyers be aware of BENQ product. I purchased 2 of these monitor in December 2024. After 13 months of use, one of them has vertical line. Monitor not dropped, or any signs of physical damage. I contacted BENQ via email because I could not find any phone number for them. they asked me to provide proof of purchase, serial number of the monitor and pictures of the issue. I provided all that. The next day I received an email that the warranty does not cover physical damage without any diagnostic test; and specific parts for the panels are no longer available and if even they available the total expenses for parts and labor will exceed the coat of one refurbished models. They offered me 15 % off on their refurbished models. I think because they no longer has the specific parts for the panels that is why they refused to honor the warranty. Please, if you are looking for computer monitor, Look for other alternatives. You don't want to buy a product that when something happen the manufacturer will tell the parts are no lomger available.
I love my self gift - The better monitor I hade ever. I’m videographer and I like to color grade. The size is perfect, the brightness, affordable, and the color than I see is the same to I get after render.
BenQ - Excellent color and detail. Easy to add a second monitor or switch back-and-forth.
best buy - ordering easy - the price was right - delivery was great - monitor excellent quality and works great
Benq 32 in monitor - I am really happy with my purchase excellent for my work flow and crisp colors.
Excellent monitor - Excellent for photoshop. Using with a Mac Mini M4 Pro
Definitely an alternative Apple Display Studio! - Cheaper by a couple hundreds and you get bigger size compared to apple studio display! So far Im happy getting this monitor! Very crisp and the color are just amazing! Side by side with my imac, this was better since it is bigger and more details are popping and plys color display are just phenomenal and very very close to similar if not exact! If budget is something you’re tight and wanted to save a few hundreds, I would encourage you to try this out first. Not certainly for gaming as it has only 60hz but for something who are more on designing and working on just photo or video rendering that is looking for sharpness and clarity of their work. Highly recommended!
