My HONEST review BENQ Programming Monitor RD280U 

i hit this looking for reviews on this monitor and the first comments i hear are "it is squear and heavy" . how on earth are this negative criticism? the only reason i am looking at this monitor is that it is 3:2 and weight might very well be quality parts but anyway, who cares if it is 3.5 or 7kg?

Appreciate this honest review!!

Thanks for saving me money. I watched multiple reviews of this monitor, this one was the best and actually an honest one. You've got a new subscriber. 🤝 Tip: add timelines at the bottom of the video, so people can skip back and forth between parts of the video, that are important to them.

Thanks for review

This monitor uses the BOE MV282CVB-N10 panel - same as the Huawei Mateview 28" 3:2 monitor released in 2021. The BenQ listed brightness is 350 cd/m² compared to 500 cd/m² on the Huawei. As a Mac user, do you use BetterDisplay for scaling features on external monitors?

So which monitor will beat this one?!

the taller monitor, the more focus on code with less distraction on scrolling. I hope the other pros justify x1.5 the cost of Huawei 28 with the same killer feature, even the same display. Vesa mount is nice to have, but i guess that is not enough. More dim & color profiles on the same display? it can be programmably controlled

benq forgot some programmers are gamers

Your points about a higher refresh rate for movies or shows does not work since almost all of that media is locked at 24 frames per second, some go to 60 frames per second (eg soap opera tv shows) but never past that. Your opinion about this monitor is greatly invalidated when you make statements like this because now it seems like you have no idea what you are talking about, and you're just making a video to advertise a monitor with an affiliation kick back link.

I use macbook air m1 and m1 max interchangeably with studio display. Can I add this monitor for my current set-up?

Great review, and first one i see using a Mac. Thanks! A couple of questions: Did you have any problems with scaling and or text sharpness when using this monitor with a Mac? Also, what Mac do you use?

Nice review, can you confirm if MacOS scaling works with this monitor?

Thanks for the honest review. I had a couple of questions: 1. Is the text on this actually sharper than on other 27" 4k monitors? 2. Are the speakers loud and clear enough for audio calls?

So basically a COMPLETE waste of money since windows already has a black and white mode with any monitor

It should have 120hz
