Shown, not counted
These sit inside an average we already count, or come from the maker's own shop.
Thin: only 2 reviews and buyer ratings, so they are 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
The coding-first panel: 3:2 at 3840x2560 gives extra vertical space, with 90 W USB-C, KVM and a 4.6/5 Amazon.de average from 85 buyers. It is limited to 60 Hz, 350 nits, 95% P3 and weak HDR, the stand has no pivot, and image uniformity is not high-end.
testberichte.de title says 1.8 but the page body shows 1.7 (used). TechRadar review (31 May 2025) was fetched but only sub-ratings rendered, no overall star score. RD280UA/RD280UG variants differ from the base model in ways not checked. BenQ page shows no warranty and no delta E. Read via testberichte.de: PRAD, PC-WELT, CHIP. These tests are inside the testberichte.de grade, so they are shown, not counted. Buyer ratings read via testberichte.de: Amazon.de.
