The BenQ PV3200U is a 31.5-inch IPS display that doubles as a laptop dock, thanks to 65 W USB-C power delivery.
Overview
The BenQ PV3200U is a 31.5-inch IPS display that doubles as a laptop dock, thanks to 65 W USB-C power delivery. It offers 4K UHD resolution, 140 ppi pixel density, 1000:1 static contrast and 100% sRGB and 95% DCI-P3 coverage. The panel refreshes at 60 Hz. Inputs include 3× HDMI 2.0, USB-C 65 W and 3× USB-A. The stand offers 115 mm of height adjustment and swivel. 2 × 2 W speakers are built in. 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.
