BenQ announced a dedicated screen for coders

BenQ has just announced three new monitor models specifically developed to target programmers, with a series of new features.

One of the three new monitors is 28 inches in size and has a 3:2 aspect ratio, a ratio rarely found on desktop monitors. The remaining two screen models are 24 inches (16:10 ratio) with 2560 x 1600 resolution, using IPS panels, and 32 inches (top screen), 16:9 ratio.

The 24-inch model has a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 300 nits brightness and 60 Hz refresh rate, and can display 95% of the DCI-P3 color range.

The highlight of the BenQ RD product line is the series of buttons arranged directly on the front of the screen, making it easy for users to operate.

In addition, the included Windows application allows users to use keyboard shortcuts to access most functions.

The monitor's menu not only offers brightness and color customizations, but also offers a programmable mode, optimized for both light and dark backgrounds that highlights colors commonly used in clips. code. In addition, this mode also adjusts contrast and color to help users' eyes feel less tired.

BenQ RD monitors also have the ability to automatically adjust white light balance according to the time of day, minimizing blue light emission, especially at night.

These monitors are all equipped with a USB-C port capable of providing 90W of power. In addition, they also support MST allowing a second display to be directly connected to the main display, and both can be connected to the PC via a single cable.

It is expected that three BenQ RD screen models will be sold in the first half of this year but specific prices have not yet been announced.
