When it comes to features, it’s difficult to know where to start W with this 27-inch, 5K resolution designer’s monitor. It has 218 pixels per inch for crystal clear images; for connectivity, there’s a Thunderbolt 4 port (90W), one HDMI 2.1 port and a DisplayPort, and at the base of the screen is a USB hub with three USB-A ports and a USB-C port. If you want a dual-monitor setup, you can daisy chain two 5K screens, assuming your Mac meets the specs. BenQ claims it’s the first 5K monitor that supports daisy-chaining. It comes bundled with a wireless hotkey puck too, which you can set up to open your most-used applications. A dial atop the puck can adjust the brightness, contrast or volume. For audio, it has two 3W speakers (which aren’t particularly good) and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
