The BenQ PD2506Q is a 25-inch AH-IPS display that doubles as a laptop dock, thanks to 65 W USB-C power delivery.
Overview
The BenQ PD2506Q is a 25-inch AH-IPS display that doubles as a laptop dock, thanks to 65 W USB-C power delivery. It offers QHD resolution, 117 ppi pixel density, 350 nits typical brightness (400 nits peak), 1000:1 static contrast and 100% sRGB and 95% DCI-P3 coverage. The panel refreshes at 60 Hz and quotes 5 ms response. Inputs include 1× HDMI 2.0, 1× DisplayPort 1.4, USB-C 65 W and 3× USB-A. The stand offers 110 mm of height adjustment and swivel. 2 × 2.5 W speakers are built in, and it weighs 7.6 kg with the stand. It suits laptop users who want one-cable docking at the desk. The main trade-off: capped at 60 Hz, so fast games will not feel as smooth.
