Mac owners can find themselves in a dilemma over monitors. Sure, you can use an adapter on one of your machine’s fancy Thunderbolt ports and plug in any old £100 screen, or you can go for the Rolls Royce option and get the Apple Studio Display, a 27in 5K beauty with an integrated camera that starts at £1,499. There is, however, a middle ground, inhabited by the likes of this BenQ screen. The ‘Designer’ part of the screen’s full name (BenQ DesignVue PD3225U Thunderbolt 3 Designer Monitor) seems to refer to the fact it’s aimed at designers, rather than that it’s particularly fashionable, and it offers Mac-centric features, convenient USB connectivity, and excellent colour reproduction for a bit less cash than Apple’s lavish display.
