Review: BenQ's Affordable MA270U 4K Monitor Is Made for MacBooks

Quick Summary:

Key Display Specifications 27-inch IPS panel with Nano Matte coating 3840 x 2160 (4K) resolution 400 nits peak brightness 1200:1 native contrast ratio 99% sRGB, 95% P3 color gamut 60Hz refresh rate 5ms response time HDR10 with VESA Display HDR 400 certification 178° viewing angles Design and Build Quality Peeling the protective material off the "Nano Matte" IPS panel reveals a thin black bezel around the top and sides, and a slightly thicker chin with the BenQ logo centered in an inoffensive, almost hidden black finish.

Colors pop without appearing oversaturated, and BenQ's color-matching technology is impressive – the difference between my MacBook Air's display and the MA270U was barely perceptible when using the recommended color profile.

Professional creators might prefer BenQ's Thunderbolt PD series or the brighter image of a Apple's 5K Studio Display, but for everyone else, the MA270U represents excellent value.
