Shown, not counted
These sit inside an average we already count, or come from the maker's own shop.
Thin: only 1 review or buyer rating, so it is pulled toward the average.
80 is the field average. A part counts as 80 + (average − 80) × N ÷ (N + 1), where N is its number of sources. One source counts half of the gap from 80. No sources count as 80.

Notes
A cheaper 5K Thunderbolt 4 screen with 96 W charging, KVM, daisy-chaining and a 150 mm stand with pivot, which suits a mixed Mac and PC desk. The Nano Gloss coating reflects in bright rooms, brightness is only 450 nits, the speakers are weak and there is no webcam.
Brightness: BenQ EU/UK page says 450 nits typical, Asia-Pacific page says 400 nits HDR peak, some press says 500 (not found on a BenQ page). The Technovore review has no score. testberichte.de header 2.0 (2 tests, only TechRadar graded) differs from the 1.40 in its summary section; the header is used. Factory delta E and warranty not listed on the BenQ UK page. Read via testberichte.de: TechRadar. These tests are inside the testberichte.de grade, so they are shown, not counted.
