Extra vertical space!
The rare 3:2 aspect ratio is also ideal for anyone who deals with documents, websites and text. A very useful deep screen and super sharp text - I'm really happy with this monitor.

Big fan of this size, and the automated brightness control
I'm a full time software developer. I was using a 25" 1440p Dell (nice, but discontinued) and needed to get a second monitor for another location. I initially picked 25" over 27" on purpose, having read Nick Janetakis's article on the ideal screen size for developers (long, but worth a read). I find text on a 24" to be just as legible as my 16:9 25", but appreciate the extra height of 16:10. I also prefer the colours and contrast on the BenQ, and its ability to adjust itself to the ambient lighting conditions is superb. So in all respects, I prefer this BenQ to my Dell. I'm still using the Dell, but on a different desk. No need to buy stuff we don't need, right? I was also 28" curious, and did try the 28" version. It's got a very nice image, but (as a tiling window manager user) I found that I was turning my head left and right a lot, and rarely looking at things in front of me. It's tall too, so a lot of stuff I'd need to read would be near desk level, which has a fairly negative impact on my posture. Conclusion: I'm far better off when my windows (which fill my screen) are on a display whose edges aren't so difficult for me to see. This is also why I prefer a single screen. I usually put code on one workspace, documentation on another, and switch between them with a keystroke more quickly than I could turn my head to look at another screen. Occasionally I need docs and code side by side, in which case I'll put a browser next to my editor. That works great too. Often I'm working on an app, and will put the app's UI next to the editor so I can see the impact of my changes in real time. Also great. And if I need to see two different files, they're visible side by side in a full screen editor. End result: I'm pretty confident I've got the best monitor on the market for tiling window manager users who don't want to be turning their head a lot, looking up/down too much, etc. Also, on looking up/down, beware a monitor that's so tall that you need to read things above eye level. It requires your eye to be wider open than normal, which increases the rate at which the lens dries out. Combined with our tendency not to blink when looking at a screen, this can increase your chances of getting dry eye disease. I'm now an eye drop user, and I think it's because I used to position a monitor a bit high. So that's another reason not to get a bigger one.

Good, not excellent
Solid, but not blown away. Pros: good size, matte display, built-in options for different display modes for different lighting and work, which can even adjust automatically. Cons: speakers are pretty bad, missing a lot of the features that you get with the RD280 and RD320, namely moonhalo, nano matte display, KVM switch. Will be continuing to test and may report back.

I'm not sure why we ditched 3:2 aspect ratio monitors!?
As a lifelong software engineer I've used a lot of monitors. More recently the Apple Studio display (which is top of my leaderboard still). The Asus ProArt which is amazing for content creation (Photoshop, Premiere Pro) but alas they are all wide, very wide. When I first saw this "coding" monitor I thought it was a gimmick but after watching a lot of reviews and reading their literature I realised this is what I needed all along. Rear halo light aside, the ability to have a tall high resolution screen that at the tap of a switch change the display modes on was and is just a god send. I can now how modes that look terrible for content and surfing but awesome for the contrast of my pages of code and with a simple switch change back to normal mode. Brilliant idea for a product. You might have issues with some games but that's what my 16:9 display is for. As for ports again another great selection. Latest display port, HDMI and two USB-C one and a KVM feature to stop swapping mouse and keyboard connections! Perfect when you have a PC and Mac you switch development between! The speakers aren't great as is with most monitors display hence the 4 stars I would've given 4.5 stars but couldn't!

Jag gillar dessa, nu har jag nu tre stycken. Bilden behöver ändras till sRGB och ljusstyrkan sänkas och sen är bilden väldigt bra! Flimmerfri bild, bästa antireflex jag sett. Lite minus kring designen, klumpen i nedkant och hur knapparna sitter. Men inte värt prisskillnaden till något annat. Synd det inte är 120 Hz, men det blir förstås en helt annan prisklass. Gillar formatet 3:2, tidigare 16:10-användare. Lite tröga att starta upp, mjukvaran till Windows är inte perfekt, buggig, men inte betydande.

Ho acquistato il BenQ RD280U, monitor da 28" 4K+ in formato 3:2, pensato chiaramente per chi programma e lavora molte ore davanti allo schermo. Nel complesso, è un prodotto estremamente riuscito, con alcune scelte molto concrete orientate a produttività e comfort visivo. Uno dei punti di forza è il software BenQ Display Pilot 2, che offre una gamma ampia di impostazioni dedicate al benessere visivo. Molte funzioni si adattano automaticamente in base all’illuminazione ambientale e possono essere attivate o disattivate con un click, rendendo semplice passare da una configurazione all’altra senza entrare ogni volta in menù complessi. A questo si aggiungono numerosi profili colore preimpostati, utili sia per differenziare l’uso (coding, lettura, produttività, ecc.) sia per adattarsi a dispositivi diversi: nel mio caso, ad esempio, con un MacBook Pro la gestione dei profili risulta particolarmente comoda. Molto apprezzata anche la presenza della USB-C, davvero utile nella pratica quotidiana: oltre al segnale video, consente una gestione ordinata della postazione e, soprattutto, fornisce anche alimentazione in downstream, permettendo di ricaricare il MacBook quando necessario. È una soluzione che riduce cavi e alimentatori sulla scrivania e rende la postazione più pulita. Dal lato controllo fisico, oltre alle regolazioni via software, il monitor dispone di tasti comodi per accedere rapidamente al menù OSD e di un tasto dedicato che velocizza la scelta della sorgente: dettaglio tutt’altro che banale se si alternano più dispositivi. La qualità visiva è eccellente: immagine molto nitida, dettagli finissimi e ottima resa generale. Il pannello opaco è di alta qualità e fa davvero la differenza, perché elimina i fastidi legati alle luci ambientali. Nel mio caso, pur avendo installato una barra luminosa BenQ, non si presentano riflessi sul display: un vantaggio concreto nell’uso serale o in stanze ben illuminate. L’unica vera nota negativa riguarda il software: Display Pilot 2 non è disponibile per Linux. Considerando che una parte rilevante del target di questo monitor è composta da sviluppatori, e che molti lavorano su Linux, questa è una mancanza significativa. Sarebbe opportuno un supporto più completo per Linux, perché il monitor è chiaramente pensato per un’utenza tecnica. Infine, per quanto riguarda la luce Halo, è facilmente regolabile dall’app sia in luminosità sia in temperatura colore. Trovo sia una comodità reale: contribuisce a creare un’illuminazione della postazione uniforme e confortevole, soprattutto se abbinata anche a una barra luminosa. In sintesi, il BenQ RD280U è un monitor di fascia alta con un’impostazione molto coerente per la programmazione e l’uso intensivo: eccellente qualità visiva, formato 3:2 davvero produttivo, connettività USB-C molto pratica e funzioni orientate al comfort. Peccato solo per l’assenza del software su Linux, che andrebbe colmata.

Alt köşelerdeki parlamadan kurtulmak için 8 bine aldığım monitörü iade edip 18 bine monitör aldım. Aynı sorunla karşılaşınca 28 binlik bir monitöre geçeyim dedim. Yine aynı lanet sorunu görünce 30 bine çıkıp bu monitörü alayım dedim. Ama sonuç olarak daha fazla para vererek daha fazla glow (4 köşe) ile karşılaştım. Yani, şaka mı bu? Olmuyorsa yapmayın, üretmeyin ya. Niye paramızla rezil olup ayıplı mal satın alıyoruz ki? Kimse kalkıp da “ips böyle” diyerek normalleştirmesin! Kabul edilemez bir durum bu. Artık resmen monitör almaktan vazgeçtim.

hem 3D model hemde yazılım işiyle uğraşıyorum. 2 sis için en uygun monitör bu. Önce 28 inç 4k aldım ancak çözünürlüklerde sorun yaşadım baş ağrıları başladı. Bu monitör gerçekten en boy ve çözünürlük olarak ieal bir monitör. Keşke Halo aydınlatması da olsaydı. 28 olanda vardı.
