The wait is (almost) over: BenQ PD2730S and PD3226G monitors ready for pre-order

JANUARY 28, 2025

I've been waiting for BenQ's new monitors since they announced them at Adobe Max 2024.

People on Reddit wondered why BenQ had announced these monitors without talking about their release date or price.

I subscribed to receive news about the launch of these monitors. Today, I got an email announcing the price point and release date.

The PD2730S is BenQ’s first ever 5K monitor, featuring 98% P3 color coverage, Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, and Mac compatibility, providing Retina-like clarity and precision in your creative work.

I have been considering buying BenQ's PD2725U 4K display for some time. But the PD2730S has me waiting because it features a 27-inch 5K display, covers 98% of P3 color space with 10-bit color simulation (using a technology known as 8-bit + Frame Rate Control, or FRC), two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-C, and three USB-A, which renders an extra hub unnecessary. It's a great monitor for color grading with DaVinci Resolve, for instance.

The PD3226G is a 32-inch 4K 144Hz display with 95% P3 color space.

Both BenQ monitors are available for pre-order in the US today and will be released on March 1, 2025. The PD2730S will cost $1199.99 and the PD3226G $1099.99.
