BenQ PD2706U: Great budget monitor for content creation!
In this review, I check out the BenQ PD2706U, a budget-friendly monitor aimed at creatives in the graphic design, photographic and cinematography workspace. This monitor is feature-rich for a relatively low price point while maintaining relatively high standards.
BenQ did send me this unit to test out and evaluate but did not pay to have it reviewed; all of the opinions on this monitor are my own.

The new Sony ZV-E1 just launched and one of the features I'm most excited about is the new Timelapse Mode that compiles a 4k 10-bit 4:2:2 timelapse right in the camera. There are also a ton of new features that even the A7S3 and FX3 don't yet have. #Sony #ZV-E1 #vlogger

I've spent the last 4 months using the Dell U3223QE IPS-Black 4k monitor and I have to say, it's probably the best sub $1000 monitor on the market for creatives looking for solid color replication for video and photo!

Sony Xperia PRO-I Timelapse Capabilities: The quality is INSANE!
Спасибо!
This screen is not working for the MacBook Air! You don’t get the 120hz.
It only works on the M3 chip (Apple limits the FPS on the M1 and M2).
Thank you so much for making this video. I needed to chop up a video to make meme's that are not currently available but your video helped me out and saved me hours of time. Thanks again
Yay! I'm glad it helped! Thanks so much for the comment and for watching!
Wish they would make a 16x9 version.
Woowwww 👏 Review that conveys honesty and sincerity. Short video that shows the best and worst of this monitor. Top Video. I really need your help and your opinion: I work with Webdesign (Figma), Content for social networks, Programming/Coding. To relax from work and the stress of deadlines, I also take the opportunity to watch some series or films on the monitor. I'm undecided between the Asus Proart 279cv, BenQ PD2706U and Lg 27un880-b or the Lg 27un880p-b based on your experience and knowledge, which of the four do you think is the best purchase? I would like to take this opportunity to ask what is the difference between the Lg 27un880p-b and the Lg 27un880-b?? I became a fan of your channel and you gained an active viewer. Best Regards
I'm a photographer and I already have an Imac. I now want a second monitor for my Macbook Pro so I can edit in my photo studio as well, and I'm looking at this one. Would the difference between the 2 screens be very different? My imac is really contrasty and shiny, and this one is matte. Any opinions about this?
Great video 👌Epic Channel 😃 Congratulations. I really need your opinion: I'm interested in buying the BenQ PD2705U monitor, what do you think about this model, would it be a good buy? My fear and doubt is that it has 250 nits. Based on your experience, do you think 250 nits is enough? I'm going to use this monitor for web design, programming, and also for watching movies and shows. My office has a window that I usually leave open. The window is 4 meters away from the monitor. What is your opinion?
It tops out at 400 nits, but the average is somewhere in between 250-350 for normal use; it's definitely a solid monitor and if I didn't already have better (more powerful monitors) I'd definitely buy this one, especially since it's fairly priced and delivers a ton of features.
@@District7DrewGeraciThank you very much. Super video. Super person. 👌 Best regards 😀
Purchased it recently with advanced 3Y paid support/replacement service. from the day one issue with TB connection to laptop. Warning a very expensive headache with poor TB4 KVM hub hardware. TB4 connection drops randomly disconnecting wired ethernet and most annoyingly in the middle of conf call. Only way to restore it by switching on/off monitor power. How embarrassing output from a £1.8k product. TB also stops PD to laptop. Otherwise it could have been an excellent buy. Dell support proved to be joke. They have been dragging troubleshooting beyond 14 day cooling off period for return so that online support team can wash their hand with it. They don’t even want to share a complain procedure.
What cords would I need to connect this to a M2 Mac mini? Like does it have to be thunderbolt or HDMI 2.1 to get full resolution?
So would you recommend this monitor for a graphic designer working with InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator?
@@dennisdeuster definitely! I use it quite a bit for illustrator and photoshop. Ultra sharp.
great video, very clear, I'm gonna buy this monitor
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and good luck with the purchase!
Nice I went with the PD2725U
Great choice!!
Everyone uses the same stock music, so stupid🤦🏻♂️
Look at the thick bezel. That’s not ultra slim. And DP 1.4 for that price is disappointing.
This goes at $1799 currently, I got the Neo G9 57" from BestBuy for the same price. 7680x2160, tons more room. Oh, and DP 2.1 and 240hz. It performs exceedingly for productivity and gaming. You're future proofed.
7780 is basically the same as this ? Just different intel generation processors ?
Pretty much; the 7780 has a little better thermal design but overall they're nearly identical.
I'm waiting for next gen CPU / GPU, and something like this.
Would be interesting to see how this processor stacks up in these real-world tests against a 13 or 14th gen Core i9
@@TheDesertsweeper great question! The answer is it does stack up and the threadripper is actually better in about 85% of the tasks. I just built an i9 14900k system and I'm super disappointed with it. Even at 6.2Ghz the TRP still outperforms the i9. I imagine the 7000 series TRP is even better since it utilizes Gen5 Pcie and speeds.
@@District7DrewGeraci interesting. Yes my i9-13900K has been a let-down so I am hoping to get better results with the (old:) new system that is arriving in bits and pieces.
I was going to get this monitor as i like the ports options. However for that price tag specially in the UK. £1605 its a lot for what you get. Its not an oled . 6k res would be perfect but 5k i find it weird. I had 49inch monitor for gaming its heaven for work not so much. I had 40inch 4k it was lovely but 60hz did my head in . Bought 48inch oled and its almost good apart from the text issue. So all these monitors i stated above were nowhere near dells price. So ya thags the only downside i see
Three years later I am building this exact system at a hugely lower price, sourced most from ebay for a fraction of the cost this poor man must have paid. 3975wx @ $600 and 8x16GB sticks for under $200 - open box SAGE for $650 etc etc. The only new item I bought is the Noctua cooler and the 990 NVMe Pro's
Ooof, yeah, you got a hell of a deal! This system is still viable in 2024 so good on you. I think I ended up paying close to $15k for everything. Sounds like you made out like a bandit!
@@District7DrewGeraci there is now way faster of course but bang-for-buckm as a render machinem it is going to be WAY better than what I use now. Any how thanks for the old video - got many installation tips from you!
But it always exports the clips at native FPS, I want them to export as the timelines fps.. I need to export a shitloadof clips with diffrent native framerates to 25 fps using the interpolation "Optical flow" effect added on all the clips, but it always renders at native FPS :S
Create a compound composition with the clips you want to conform to the timeline FPS. Easy day. Just right-click your footage and select "New Compound Clip" and you're set.
Just make sure to add the effect on the compound clip though and not the original.
Also, regardless of project type, you will only ever be able to export what the native FPS is of your timeline. You would need to create multiple timeline with multiple FPS varients to do mass exportation. Ex, you couldn't export both 24p and 60p on the same timeline (ever). You'd have to make a separate TL for each FPS setting you want to export.
super fast video all the best info needed!
All thrills no fluff! That's how I like to do it ;) Thanks for watching!
What is the model of the side screens you have?
Nice video, but you mispronounce your own surname! it is gggerajjjjii
LOL, Thanks for that ;)
The BEST Monitor for Creatives and Gamers is Samsung G9 57"
Great for gaming for sure!! It just lacks proper color spaces for creatives; that's its only downfall. Still an impressive monitor though!
Once you go, IPS black you never go back! 😂😂😂
Precision 7760 has 4 SODIMM slots for up to 128GB, 4x32GB modules, with 2x32GB crucial for 185€ . Precision 7770 has reduced that to 2 SODIMM slots for up to 64GB, 2x32GB, using an adapter or 1 CAMM slot for a single 16/32/64GB (crucial 365€)/128GB Ram module at an extreme high price.
Perfect but not perfect : 60hz comoooon 🫠 Not asking for 144, but 90 don’t know, wtf 60 for such screen and such price ?! 🙃
It's 120Hz... Not sure what you're speaking too.
@@District7DrewGeraci Okkkkkkay, 60hz for the U4021 at 1300€ and not the 25 ; thanks for repply/correction, good to know
I got this model for $325.00. But as soon as I found out that my kids want to play videos rather than hitting & reading the books. I sold it for $2.2K. I can't see why many adults want to buy this just play games /or making videos for posting on RUclips.
I literally just purchased the Mac M2 Ultra and have been wrecking my brain tryna find the best display monitor that would pull out the best on my new Mac. I like the ultra wide curve feel and this Dell 4025QW seems to be the best way to go. Is this something you’d recommend for the M2 Ultra and if so, any recommendations as to what I’d need with this monitor including connections?
I'm not sure how my work laptops would display. I'm not sure Intel integrated graphics could push more than 4k? I need PIP also with 2 hdmi. So not enough ports like my dell u 3818dw
You'll be able to get 4k 60p without and issues, but you may run into issues for 4k 120p.
How many kvm devices does it support?
Just two workstations.
$2400
@@Falcon5ive nah, they're $1799 now.
@@District7DrewGeraci that’s practically free

are you sure this is 100% Adobe RGB?, I don see this at Dell's web site
Andrew that is a sick setup.
Thanks mate!!!
The ports are outdated(
Cringe test
@@AsmodeusExx hahaha, nailed it.
Time for an updated video?
Hmm so why does this monitor only have a 3.5ish rating on Amazon? Ok it's up to 4 😅
@@03snafubar31 it had 4 stars on my side - dunno though. It's a great monitor!
ok good but NO ADOBE RGB . This monitor is a plus for video editing non for photo editing professional in adobe rgb 1998
This thing has a pixel density of 139 PPI, which is pretty bad for creative work. At 40 inches it needs to be at least 8k if you want sharp text from a desktop viewing distance.
Considering I own the only 8k monitor on the market (and it sits next to this one), your statement is incorrect. The PPI on this 5k monitor is quite nice and resolves beautifully for video/photo editing. Thanks for watching!
@@District7DrewGeraci Great to hear you're happy with the monitor. For my part, I prefer >200 ppi for creative work. 139 ppi is fine for gaming I guess, but text just looks too fuzzy and pixelated.
@@merlinsrobe4621 but it doesn't look fuzzy or unsharp. I highly recommend checking it out in a store ;)
Tell me what kind of monitors you have nearby?
I am in finance and am looking to upgrade my current Dell 38” curved monitor. I am guessing the clarity of text, graphs, etc is much improved? Or is there a better monitor for business applications? Thank you!
That's is an excellent monitor for anything and everything. The clarity and sharpness are top notch and reflect the hefty price tag of the monitor.
240Hz? On a 5K monitor? There's literally no hardware on the market to drive those pixels...
That's why it's called wishful thinking ;) This monitor is already near perfect.
This reviewer spreads false information without any measurements and fact checking. He claims monitor has 2-3ms response lag a value that he pulled out of his arse because that is completely false and is not stated anywhere. Nor will you see such numbers in any measurements because only the fastest of the TN panels get to that level of lag. Dell themselves claim 5ms G2G which basically puts a hard limit of 5ms on how low of a response time you can achieve. (G2G is not representative of real usage and is very optimistic)
Thank you for publishing this solution. I was going stir crazy cloning out birds frame by frame in Lightroom and LR Timelapse. 😊
Glad it helped out!
I must be the only video editor who doesn't do gaming. I'm looking into this display after my Mac Studio Display blew up in front of me. I just wish Dell would send me out a evaluation model as I see so many other getting. Your lucky to get free product, this display isn;t cheap in Oz. But hey neither is a Mac Studio Display.

_What is the vertical (height) of the just screen? Not the adjustable height?_ *Dig the amount of connections, especially the drop-down USB-A/C hub.* Thanx; Excellent & informative video!*👍👍
I have been looking for this information too...
Not sure where you got 2-3ms lag from. Response lag is 8 ms (Normal mode) according to Dell's website and 5ms lag on FAST mode, but fast mode may cause artifacts to appear.
