Overview

The BenQ BL3290QT is a 31.5-inch IPS display that doubles as a laptop dock, thanks to 65 W USB-C power delivery. It offers QHD resolution, 93 ppi pixel density, 350 nits typical brightness, 1000:1 static contrast and 99% sRGB coverage. The panel refreshes at 50–75 Hz and quotes 5 ms response. Inputs include 1× HDMI 1.4, 1× DisplayPort 1.2, USB-C 65 W and 3× USB-A. The stand offers 110 mm of height adjustment and swivel. 2 × 2 W speakers are built in, and it weighs 10.1 kg with the stand. It suits laptop users who want one-cable docking at the desk. The main trade-off: 75 Hz limits smoothness in fast action.

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • USB-C with 65 W power delivery charges a laptop over a single cable
  • Stand adjusts for 110 mm height and swivel
  • 99% sRGB coverage gives accurate everyday colour
  • 3 USB-A ports work as a small hub
  • Built-in 2 × 2 W speakers cover everyday audio
Cons
  • 75 Hz limits smoothness in fast action
  • QHD on 31.5 inches (93 ppi) is less sharp than QHD or 4K panels
