Things to Know Before Buying
- The manufacturer's listed screen size is 31.5 inches, and the resolution is QHD (2560 × 1440), not 4K UHD.
- The refresh rate is 75Hz, so this monitor is primarily designed for productivity and everyday use rather than high-refresh-rate competitive gaming.
- USB-C power delivery is rated at up to 65W; actual charging depends on the connected device and its power requirements.
- Daisy chaining requires compatible host hardware, operating-system support, and appropriate cables.
- The integrated speakers and microphone are convenient for everyday meetings, but they are not a replacement for dedicated professional audio equipment.
- Confirm the exact white-colour SKU and included accessories with the seller, as BenQ's regional pages may not specify finish and package contents identically.
