Perfect for photo editors Best Value out there

Hey, lets be honest, this monitor was produced in 2017. If you need more than 4K keep looking. In the BenQ line your next best pick will cost you close to $2000, so this monitor is it, as long as they last!! The differences between the newest model and this one are not that big, 8K support perhaps and a few other cosmetic items. The colors are spectacular and the coming from a 27" to a 32" is a HUGE upgrade in real-estate. This monitor is very stable and kind of heavy, I like the solid build! This is NOT a good choice if you are a gamer, just not fast enough to take advantage of the higher end graphics. This is the perfect choice for photo and perhaps 4K and less video editing!!! Nothing else in the market comes close!!! I don't care if it was produced a few years ago, that is where all the value is in things!!! Moonpie

Big caveat on Picture by Picture

I thought the PBP (Picture by Picture) would let me see my pc on the full right side, and my Mac on the the full left side. Hold your horses. Not so fast, cowboy. It lets you see both on the screen at the same time, but it scales down both so they fill the width of the screen, but not the height. So you basically end up with two laptop size images. That's of no use to me. Shame on me for not knowing to ask that question in that way. (Ben Q support sent me a list of their monitors that do fill up the each side in picture by picture mode so they are quite responsive.) Other than that I'm a BenQ fan. Been using them for years in my design/photo business. Love having the extra real estate over my 27"

BenQ PD3200U is worth every penny.

Wonderfully clear and sharp. Some reviewers suggested 32" is too large. I'm definitely happy I paid extra to get it. Exactly what I was hoping for.

Looks like flicker issue is resolved with newer models

Was worried about things I found online that were saying this monitor has a flickering issue that needs to be sent back for a firmware update to fix. Those were years old and I took a chance with this monitor hoping that with new production they were fixed. So far so good and it looks like those issues have been resolved. (I hope I didn't jinx myself). Haven't had it very long but colors and size seem great for the price.

Good bargain and great performance

It's not svelte or stylish, and it's built more like a monitor from 10 years ago with thick boxy bezels - but I don't think that's why anyone is buying these. I think its worst flaw, and it's really a rather minor one, is poor viewing at an angle for an IPS display. Color rendition is great, it came precalibrated, startup is quick, it uses relatively little desk space for what it is, and all the performance is there along with a great price for the size.

Good Monitor

Pretty good screen. I like the size, went down from two 27" monitors to one 32" and works well for my needs.

A Video Editing Beast

This was well worth the investment for editing and color grading. Plus it’s a fantastic value that still keeps up with the newer versions of Benq monitors for my applications. I have plenty of screen space to edit easily. Best bang for the dollar in my opinion. I highly recommend the Benq PD3200u.

Good, but short of expectations.

User friendly, but video experiences some distortion and lag with an hdmi connection.

This is a top-of-the-line monitor that is ideal for use in photo editing and gaming. I use it mostly for photo editing, and the color and accuracy is outstanding. Very pleased with this purchase. Plus, I got it for a lot cheaper at Adorama than on Amazon or other sites.
