Notes

A 60 Hz 4K designer monitor with 98% P3, KVM, daisy chain and 85 W over Thunderbolt, at nearly the price of the faster PD3226G. PCMag gives it 4.0 and German press Gut (1.6), but at 140 PPI text is less sharp than on the 5K and 6K options.

BenQ's spec page lists Thunderbolt 3 ports (85 W in, 15 W out) while the cable list names a Thunderbolt 4 cable and the connection as 'Thunderbolt (3/4/5)', so the port generation is ambiguous; stored as TB3 per the port line. PCMag 4.0 (Editors' Choice) was read on the review page; its date field (6 Oct 2026) is probably a site update date. A RTINGS review exists but its score was not read.
