Mac display aficionados know that pixel count must scale with screen size to maintain Apple’s standard for “Retina” resolution.

That’s why the 24-inch iMac is 4.5K, the 27-inch Studio Display is 5K, and the 32-inch Pro Display XDR is 6K. These resolutions and display sizes each amount to 218 pixels per inch. The result is a balance of sharpness and screen real estate for the price of $1499, $1599, and $4999, respectively.

The pursuit of pixels per inch is also why the Mac community endured the LG UltraFine 5K monitor for so long, and why Samsung’s more featured version of the Studio Display gets our attention.

With that being said, is a larger display with less resolution always a compromise? I’ve been reviewing a BenQ DesignVue Design Monitor for several weeks, and this 4K 32-inch setup has solved a real problem for me.

BenQ has launched its latest monitor for designers today with a new 32-inch Thunderbolt 4K display. The PD3225U features 98% DCI P3, IPS Black, color settings that “perfectly match Mac and MacBook Pro laptop colors,” and more.

One of the biggest complaints I hear from Apple users when it comes to creating a desk setup is that it’s tough to find an affordable monitor made for Macs. Most affordable monitors lack color accuracy and end up having a different hue or tint when compared to the displays on MacBooks. Then when you want to get a nice, color-corrected display, you need to spend $1000+. But there is finally an option that is much more affordable and gives you everything these more expensive displays give you. The new 32-inch BenQ 4k Ergo Arm is worth considering!
