Overview
Photo editors and developers who prefer a taller canvas should check the BenQ RD280UA, a 28.2-inch IPS monitor in 3:2 shape with 3840 × 2560 pixels. That works out to 163 ppi, so text and fine lines look very clean. It reaches 350 nits typical and 400 nits peak, covers 95% of DCI-P3, and carries HDR 400. A USB-C connection supplies 90 W to a laptop, with three USB-A ports and a KVM switch alongside. The stand lifts 130 mm, and weight is 11.4 kg.
