Our Verdict

BenQ PD3225U

Dell U3225QE

The Dell U3225QE and the BenQ PD3225U are both 32-inch 4k productivity and editing monitors. The Dell is the better option for most people, as it has a higher, more responsive refresh rate, gets much brighter, displays colors more vividly and accurately, and has better connectivity. However, the BenQ has some unique features. If you want to use its HotKey Puck for quick settings adjustments or its dedicated software for editors, you may prefer it.
