The base is rounded off at the corners and has a nice textured matte surface. The base is massive and I like it that way because I can put a lot of stuff on it. Note the anti-glare on the screen which can appear reflective from certain angles. The USB type C port is just normal USB 3.1 which means it cannot receive visual signal. On the right side of the monitor are two USB 3.1 ports and a 3.5mm audio jack. You can also use Thunderbolt 3 to daisy chain another monitor. If you connect a tablet or phone, it may even show the fast charge icon. There's 85W power delivery for one of the Thunderbolt 3 ports so you can charge your devices real quick. If you're using a Macbook or laptop with Thunderbolt 3, once connected, you can output visual signal to the monitor, and even use it as a Thunderbolt 3 hub. Having Thunderbolt 3 has several advantages. There's the usual USB 3.1, full-size HDMI and DisplayPort ports, and also Thunderbolt 3. These are the ports available at the bottom. The snap-on flap can be difficult to detach once it's snapped into place. I prefer leaving the back open to have easy access to all the ports. There's a snap-on flap included to cover the back to hide the cables. The cylindrical stand looks nice, has solid build quality, and comes with a hook for cable management. It's kinda thick, just like most IPS monitors, but it can be pushed to be quite close to the wall. This is a beautiful monitor with thin bezels. More specifically, because this is a 100% sRGB monitor, it's really targeted at creatives who output their work online. The BenQ PD3220U is part of the DesignVue series of monitors that are targeted at designers.
#Best 4k monitor for mac pro 2013 pro
In my case, I'm using a Mac Pro (2013) with FirePro D300 and while it can support 4K, the animation, eg, when minimising windows, scrubbing timeline in Final Cut Pro, is not as smooth compared the running a 2560 x 1440 monitor. NOTE: While most graphic cards nowadays can support 4K, how smooth the performance/animation will be will depend on how good your graphics card is.
#Best 4k monitor for mac pro 2013 update
The BenQ PD3200U 4K IPS monitor is the update to the PD3200U 4K monitor that was released a few years ago. My review is from perspective of a visual content creator, someone who does graphic design and edits photos and videos daily.
