BenQ sets new standard for designers with UK launch of 5K and 4K 144Hz PD series monitors

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, 10 March 2025 – Today, BenQ, a global leader in visual display technology, has announced the UK availability of the 5K PD2730S and 4K 144Hz PD3226G, as part of the DesignVue PD monitor series.

While the new 5K PD2730S is geared toward designers and content creators utilising either Mac or PC platforms, the new 4K PD3226G features a high refresh rate (144Hz), ideal for designers, illustrators, game developers, and content creators, especially those who create 3D creatures or draw their creations on a tablet. Both new monitors also feature BenQ’s exclusive colour matching software, Display ColorTalk and Palette Master Ultimate, that deliver premium colour management solutions for designers and creative professionals.

Engineered to be the ultimate 5K colour accuracy monitor for 3D artists, the PD2730S monitor features a stunning 218 PPI display and 2000:1 high contrast ratio, delivering unmatched detail and vivid visuals. To further enhance user experience and workflow efficiency, the PD2730S is equipped with Thunderbolt 4 technology, supporting daisy chain and Keyboard, Video, and Mouse (KVM) functionality, making it easier for users to manage multiple devices with a single setup. Additionally, the PD2730S also features the BenQ-exclusive Nano Matte Panel, which reduces screen glare and reflected light while maintaining high-visual quality, and iKeyboard control for ultimate convenience in adjusting brightness and speaker volume via MacBook Pro keyboards, as well as ergonomic adjustments.

The new 4K PD3226G was created based on designers’ and creators’ feedback, specifically related to lag. With its 144Hz display, combined with FreeSync Premium technology, the PD3226G is optimised for fluidity in UI interactions, especially when paired with devices like a MacBook or a drawing tablet. The monitor’s higher refresh rate enhances the overall design experience, ensuring smoother pen strokes and seamless navigation, critical for professional designers.

“Our new PD Series models are designed to make visual creations easier for creative professionals with ‘Always Accurate and Consistent Colours,’" said Peter Huang, President of BenQ Corporation. "By addressing colour inconsistencies, shadow precision, and workflow efficiency, our groundbreaking monitors deliver unmatched accuracy and performance for 3D rendering, VFX production, and game design to bring your vision to life.”
