Our Verdict
Dell U3223QE
BenQ PD3225U
The Dell U3223QE and the BenQ PD3225U are both 32-inch, 4k productivity monitors. Both monitors perform similarly, and unless you're looking for special features, for most people the best option is whichever you can find for less. That said, the BenQ does have some unique features, such as a HotKey Puck for easier monitor control as well as some added software features.
