Panel Guarantee
BenQ offers a Professional Panel Guarantee that ensures no clear bright pixel defects on your purchased professional monitor. The Guarantee period is eligible the first 6 months after purchase, please find more information about the pixel policy in our warranty details.

A Simple and Efficient Creative Process Made Possible
The common scene in a design studio is a workstation littered by multiple cords, used papers and all kinds of tools, making it impossible for most designers to remain productive while searching for inspiration. But it doesn’t have to be like this. With a cable and several other thoughtful features, designers can now enjoy a whole new level of efficiency and productivity while trying to turn their creative ideas into realities.

An Upgraded Design Experience with an Added Level of Efficiency Thunderbolt ™ 3
PD3220U is integrated with Thunderbolt™ 3, which provides power delivery up to 85w and has 2 USB-C ports as connectivity, allowing designers to get daisy-chained up to two 4K monitors and enjoy a higher speed for data transmission. It tremendously boosts the productivity at every stage of workflow. By facilitating daisy-chaining and power delivery through Thunderbolt3, PD3220U lets designers to extend screens while ensuring the video, audio and data of the content are all properly extended, further enhancing the efficiency at work and charging your laptop at the same time.

DualView
Improve your workflow and enhance productivity by switching on DualView to showcase designs in two modes (e.g. sRGB and CAD/CAM) side-by-side without the need for two screens.

Effortless Control for a Productive Design Process
Keyboard Video Mouse (KVM) Switch
The newly upgraded KVM Switch function allows users to control one set of keyboard and mouse between two different computers that use one or two screens, ensuring users can seamlessly switch between different computers to execute complicated design tasks while further boosting efficiencies at work. Designers can also enjoy the added level of efficiency that comes with KVM by activating the feature through PD3220U’s embedded software, Display Pilot. With a few simple steps in Display Pilot, designers can instantly benefit from the elevated level of convenience that PD3220U offers.

Hotkey Puck G2
PD3220U is empowered by the newly designed hotkey puck G2 which allows designers to customize shortcuts to their preferred features through the upgraded OSD. The hotkey puck G2 leaves 3 single function keys as well as a rotation key to let users designate them to features that they require the most at work. Additionally, designers can adjust the brightness, contrast and volume of the monitor based on their preferences through the dial on the hotkey puck. To return to the previous level of the settings, designers can simply press the return key to instantly go back to the previous level.
