BenQ has just introduced the PD2730S, a 27-inch 5K monitor aimed squarely at creative professionals. Whether you’re a designer, a content creator, or someone who simply obsesses over visual clarity, this new display seems tailored to meet those elevated expectations.
With a Retina-class resolution of 5120 x 2880 and a pixel density of 218 PPI, the PD2730S offers roughly 77.8% more pixels than standard 4K monitors. That’s quite a leap when you’re dealing with intricate visuals or multitasking across design platforms. According to BenQ, it’s not just a monitor—it’s a new benchmark in screen detail and usable space.
Rajeev Singh, Managing Director of BenQ India, put it this way: the PD2730S addresses the creative community’s demand for color accuracy, seamless integration with the Mac ecosystem, and efficient multitasking. “With 5K resolution and Thunderbolt 4, this monitor is a professional visual platform designed with creators in mind,” he noted.
Color Precision and Glare Reduction
Color fidelity can make or break a creative workflow, and BenQ appears to have taken this seriously. The PD2730S incorporates the company’s AQCOLOR Technology, delivering 98% coverage of the P3 color gamut and Delta E ≤ 2 color accuracy. For professionals who live by color grading and visual consistency, the fact that it’s Pantone and Calman Verified will likely be a big checkmark.
Another standout feature is the Nano Matte Panel. It significantly cuts down on glare, which might seem minor until you’re knee-deep in a 10-hour editing session. The inclusion of a built-in KVM switch is a thoughtful touch, especially for users toggling between Mac and PC setups—it streamlines the whole process.
Connectivity and Professional Tools
One of the more forward-looking features of the PD2730S is its Thunderbolt 4 connectivity. It supports blazing-fast 40Gbps data transfer, provides up to 90W power delivery, and allows for multi-monitor daisy chaining. For those working in MacBook-driven setups or compact studio environments, that’s a real productivity boost.
BenQ also bundles in software tools like Display ColorTalk and Palette Master Ultimate. These help with intuitive calibration and ensuring color consistency across devices, which is particularly critical in fields like VFX, high-resolution photography, or cinematic video editing.
BenQ claims the PD2730S “bridges the gap between design imagination and execution,” and while that may sound lofty, the specs do make a strong case. If you’re a creator who prioritizes precision, consistency, and a smooth workflow, this could be a serious contender.
Pricing and Availability
The BenQ PD2730S is now available at an introductory price of INR 1,02,500. Interested buyers can find it on the BenQ e-Store, Amazon India, and a range of IT and electronics retailers nationwide.
