Our Verdict

BenQ PD3225U

BenQ MA270S

The BenQ MA270S and the BenQ PD3225U are productivity monitors with different features. The MA270S has a higher 5k resolution for sharper text, and its glossy coating results in clearer images and better overall reflection handling. They both have a large USB hub with a KVM switch, but the MA270S supports the higher bandwidth Thunderbolt 4 compared to Thunderbolt 3 on the PD3225U. The MA270S also gets brighter, making it the better choice to use in well-lit rooms.
