BenQ has unveiled its flagship monitor, the RD280UG, positioned by the manufacturer as a solution for programmers. What sets this new model apart is its atypical aspect ratio. The monitor features a 28-inch IPS panel with Nano Mate coating, boasting a resolution of 3840 x 2560 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Essentially, the monitor offers a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Programmers require displays specifically crafted for extended periods of focused work, and the RD280UG was created with their true visual needs in mind. Being the first brand to introduce eye-care monitors, the RD280UG offers cutting-edge eye protection technology, precise imaging, and well-thought-out design to maintain focus, comfort, and productivity in the long run.
Connectivity to PCs is facilitated through USB-C, which also supports 90W PowerDelivery. The rear features lighting designed to make working against a dark background more comfortable. Additionally, the monitor includes a built-in KVM switch, which is a critical feature for users managing multiple systems.
Currently, the product is available for pre-order at $760, making it competitive among high-end models like Dell UltraSharp and HP Z Series monitors. These brands also target professionals seeking premium features such as eye protection, USB-C connectivity, and integrated KVM switches, catering to similar demands in the programmer and professional markets.
Recent trends in monitor technology underscore the importance of features like eye care, which reduce strain during prolonged use. Meanwhile, USB-C connectivity offers enhanced convenience and cable management, and KVM switches streamline operations across varied systems, all crucial for developers juggling different environments.
“The RD280UG blends innovative design with practicality, meeting the diverse viewing demands of developers,” commented an industry expert.
As of yet, no user reviews have emerged, but anticipation is high given BenQ’s reputation for quality and innovation in display technologies.
