Works great with MacBook Pro 2019 16"
I had been using an Asus PQ321Q 31.5” 4K display since 2014 with a variety of Macs. At the time, the image quality had exceeded anything I’d used and I was quite pleased with this monitor. It had its quirks, including a difficult UI, but the image made up for it, and once adjusted, I rarely messed with things. Various OS updates brought problems with waking from sleep that required hard power cycling. As time went on, these got increasingly annoying, but I was always able to get the monitor to work again, eventually.
Then MacOS 10.15.4 came along, and the monitor simply would not work. This is surely a bug with Apple software, but after a few days of fighting an uphill battle, I gave in and decided to purchase a Thunderbolt Display.
Given the relatively positive experience with ASUS and the forced opportunity to upgrade, I selected the Asus ProArt PA32UC 32". It was a comparable size but had dramatically better specs. Thanks to Amazon, it showed up shortly after ordering. My first impression of this monitor was that it was vastly more capable with its HDR capabilities, wide color gamut, and myriad input ports. But, the backlight bleed in the corners was noticeably worse than I remembered on the PQ321Q. Without a side by side comparison, I wasn’t sure but it felt worse for sure. And given that this device touted its deep blacks, I was immediately disappointed. I could live with this though, but worse, the first time I brought up a white screen, I immediately saw a number of black spots around the display. Dead pixels? Dust under the glass? I don’t know, but I do know that it drove me crazy. Every time I scrolled a white window across the screen, I fought the urge to wipe the dust off the screen. But I couldn’t. The next day, back to Amazon it went.
The available options in this display class are fairly limited. The other device I’d been weighing was the BenQ PD3220U 32 inch. On paper, it’s a lesser display, certainly in terms of color gamut. But I needed a display and this seemed like it could work, so I gave it a try. Much to my delight, this display has been amazing. As a Mac user, it feels as if it were made by Apple for your Mac. Plug it into the Thunderbolt port and it just works. There’s a color setting just for you. You can adjust all the settings via free software. The display looks great and free of artifacts. The stand is solid and feels rugged, and the bezel and elegantly discrete. I really like this monitor and every time I wake my Mac from sleep and the display illuminates as if it’s happy to see you, it makes me appreciate it even more. I don’t ever use the included puck but see that it could be useful for some. The speakers are terrible, but hey, it includes speakers that are good enough to alert you to system sounds if the audio out is selected for monitor output.

One year on, it's as good as new.
I've read a lot of negative reviews about this monitor that were written in 2017 and 2018. I purchased mine in December of 2018 (and I must not have read the reviews because if I had, I probably would not have purchased it). In any case, I've had mine for nearly a year now and am very happy with it and have not experienced any of the issues mentioned in the other reviews.

If you have an apple screen you won’t like the Benq. You are spoiled rotten, you have been warned.
I have an apple 27” Cinema Display that’s almost 10 years old. This monitor does have higher resolution and clearly shows more colors, but if I had to choose from both I would choose the Apple. The Benq is too dim. Whites are not true white. Maybe is the glass of the Apple monitor that gives it that beautiful sparkle, but the Benq has a cheap plastic “matte” anti-glare screen that just makes the monitor look and feel cheap. I’m disappointed that a 9 years old monitor looks better than this even with lower colors and lower resolution. No I would not recommend, but at this price point I really think is a fair trade of. My next monitor will cost no less than $1000 to keep it fair with my 9year old apple monitor.

Works perfectly
My beloved old 30" 1920x1200 monitor was starting to fail, and I decided it was time to upgrade to 4K. The price was great compared to similar models from well known manufacturers. It works perfectly with my Windows 10 PC. No dead pixels, even illumination, and I love the solid, fully adjustable stand.
I've been using it for several months now.
I'm not a gamer, so I can't rate it on that performance. But I edit and watch video and work with graphics, so I appreciate that the color is calibrated out-of-the box. Its default brightness is probably a bit too high for my taste, but that's true of most monitors and it's easy to adjust. I can also spend days on end using it to write code, do research, as well as mundane things like email and web surfing.
I like having the SD card slot in the bezel, which I got hooked on with my last monitor. Other than that, it has lots of extra features I haven't needed yet.
I'm considering buying a second one for working at home.

Excellent budget 4K monitor with color accuracy.
I bought this monitor after a lot of research on budget monitors with excellent color quality. I have had it a month and no problems. I saw that there were a lot of negative reviews for units that were flickering on and off, but it would appear that issue has been fixed
I also bought this because it touts a built kvm switch which would allow me to easily switch the monitor between my 2 laptops. No more switching wires around. There is very minimal documentation on the set up, and it does not come with 2 of every cable. I first connected one laptop via the display port input and the other laptop via hdmi cable. It worked, but I noticed that when I switched from the hdmi connected laptop to the display port, the cursor on the one that was using the hdmi cable got glitchy and was hard to maneuver the cursor. I solved this by switching the connection using the mini display port input.
I was slightly disappointed with the way the kvm switching works. You can switch using onscreen touch controls or use this puck device that has 8 buttons on it that you can assign to your devices. Unfortunately you can not switch the monitor and your input devices with a single switch. You have to program one button to switch monitor input and one button to switch your input devices (mouse, keyboard, pen tablet. It is not a deal breaker though.
One thing I did not realize is that the high resolution of the monitor makes all your GUI elements smaller and harder to read. While you can change your system to use bigger type and icons, you have to dig into all your other programs to see if there is a way to enlarge text within the app. You can change your monitors settings to make everything larger by reducing its screen resolution, but that is why I bought a 4 k monitor.
If you plan on watching movies on this monitor, you will probably want to run your sound through external speakers since the built in speakers are not the greatest.
I will also say that the controller puck they include is circular and black with numbers embossed in the buttons. You can not see the numbers in a darker environment and the circular form factor of the puck can cause you to lose the orientation of the keys, until you learn that the cord is the top of the circle.
This is definitely a great color monitor for the price.

A few minor exterior design issues mar an otherwise fantastic photography monitor
The quality of the picture is fantastic, but there are a couple of minor issues with the exterior design of the monitor that really leave me scratching my head.
Firstly, the bottom bezel is incredibly cheap-looking. It's this shoddy-looking strip of gray plastic that I sincerely thought was there to protect the real bezel during shipping. I tried pulling it off when I first saw it only to be frustrated that it was meant to be there. In the product images, the bottom bezel looks like it might be a strip of gray metal with a matte finish on it.
The second issue I have is with the side and upper bezels. When the monitor is off, the screen looks like it extends to a VERY thin outer bezel along the sides and top of the monitor. However, when you turn the monitor on, the screen doesn't extend to this outer bezel. The clear screen cover extends farther than the actual LCD display area, and it appears as if the display area is cut off, or not displaying as much as it should. In fact, one of the product images in the Amazon store page shows the screen extending to this outer bezel, which is misleading, and borderline false advertisement.
Lastly, the menu navigation stick in the back feels very thin and brittle when I use it. I fear that it might snap one day so I'll have to be gentle with it.
None of the above issues have much (if any) effect on the usability of the monitor during my photography editing. They're minor gripes, but for a 27" monitor that's $1000+, I would have hoped for no minor gripes at all.

Holds its own against 27 inch iMac Retina Display
Bought this monitor as an external for my 2017 iMac. Since I'm working from home for the foreseeable future, the idea was to connect work computer to one input and my Mac to the other so I could have a single desk setup and easily switch between work and fun. That meant I needed a display that had two 4K inputs and could hold its own against the iMac display in terms of crispness, contrast, and color reproduction. After a few days of tweaking settings, I think I've got the two displays nearly color and contrast matched and it is truly lovely. The little control puck makes it insanely easy to perform these adjustments and switch between my work and Mac setups. I really love it. This is a pricey monitor but I think it delivers in terms of quality and usability.

Very good picture, design is not perfect
The screen is beautiful and crisp - I also own a BenQ 32" 2650x1440 monitor, which has been great, but the 2k is not as nice on the eyes as this 4k. The price is good for such a large and clear screen. I'd definitely buy it again. No flicker problems as reported in other reviews - that seems to be a problem with an older version, based on what I read on the BenQ site.
The bit that is disappointing is the "KVM switch". It's not quite a KVM switch - it would be, if it were possible to configure a single button to switch between 2 K(eyboard)V(ideo)M(ouse) sets. Instead, you have to configure video switching and USB (keyboard/mouse) switching in 2 different buttons, and because there are no clear toggle options, you really need 2 buttons for each type of inputs/outputs, which would require 4 customizeable buttons - but, oops, there are only 3 buttons.
If my description is confusing, that's kind of the point. This product is soooo cloooose to being a hit - it has a beautiful 4k screen, and the ability to switch between 2 sets of upstream USB ports, (and of course the ability to switch between video ports) but it doesn't have the ability to switch between video inputs and USB inputs at the same time.

Loving this monitor
I've had dual screen setups for many years now but i find that for what i do at home this large size single monitor is perfect. I bought it mostly for photo editing, and it's absolutely fantastic for it. I ran my datacolor spyder calibration on it and it didn't make any appreciable changes to how it looks. At this point i'm using it with factory srgb settings when i edit photos. But I'll probably run the calibration again in 6 months or so. Lightroom and photoshop at full screen are fantastic on this thing.
As for other programs, i almost never run anything else full screen anymore. a word editor on this thing at full screen is ... well, ... ridiculous. But i'm sure a big gnarly spread sheet would be nice on it. I'm used to having multiple windows open at one time and spread over two 24" monitors. On this i run them floating and can just as easily switch between them without the annoyance of the division between monitors. And I actually have more desk top space now.
I do like that i have the option to rotate the screen to portrait, but honestly, even editing portrait oriented photos i don't really feel the need to do that.
It has lots of features that i don't use, like picture in picture, and the KVM switch. So i have no feedback on any of that at this time.
I do like the little puck as it does make navigating the setting menu super easy. But for me it's really an unnecessary feature. If your someone that switches from CAD to editing photos, to editing video multiple times a day it's probably pretty nice. Just click the button assigned to your preference and your good to go.
The SD card slot is nice and accessible, as are the 2 USB slots.
I guess the only negative I have is the built in speakers. I don't know why companies even bother to put speakers in monitors. They always, ALWAYS, sound horrible. But there is a headphone jack with the USB ports if you want to use the monitor as what essentially amounts to a headphone extension cord.
If you're a gamer i'm sorry, but i have no feed back for you. But for photo and video editing, this is a great choice.
I would so buy this again. And i wish i hadn't waited so long to get it in the first place.

Backlight bleed mars an otherwise fantastic monitor
The colors on this monitor are fantastic. The resolution, ports and Mac-readiness are make me WANT to like this monitor in so many ways. However, the model I received had terrible backlight bleeding in both corners. On a less expensive monitor, I could forgive this, but not on a professional monitor priced at over $1000. The build quality is excellent, but I shouldn't have to deal with these kinds of imperfections and lack of quality control at this price point. Back to Amazon it goes.

More detail than you really need in this size screen
I like the color quality, the screen size, and the high resolution. Surprisingly, though I wanted a 4K monitor, it turns out that at this size, that's slight overkill (though it's way better than lower resolution monitors). But the high color quality and wide viewing angle make this a good monitor that I'm very happy with. I also like the programmable puck, and the PIP function (which I only use occasionally, but can be handy). One thing I don't like so much is the bezel (it may protect the screen, but in low light, it also reflects the screen - I wish it weren't so shiny.

a non- gaming semi- professional monitor built for MacBook Pro.
The monitor is perfect for use with MacBook Pro. The colors are well balanced and the built in KVZ switch along with two extendable thunderbolt 3 ports is perfect to keep a clean workplace. It’s pricey, but the quality of the screen ( true 10-bit factory calibrated IPS panel ) is touching professional levels. This is a non- gaming semi- professional monitor, which particularly well attached to a MacBook Pro.

THE FLICKER -- Still Not Fixed
If this monitor did not have the flicker problem I would have kept it. I called customer service, they said it could just be a Mac problem (they don't know by now?) I called AppleCare and they helped me do a reset of my system, which fixed it for like 2 weeks. But now it's back and flickering every 5 minutes. Beyond annoyed, I must return it. The flicker is a problem where the whole screen goes black for 2 or 3 seconds. That's a long time when you are in the middle of something. I'm just going back to Dell, I'm never disappointed with their monitors.

Get this one - don’t cheap out on a 32” 4K
I have been experimenting with various sizes of monitors ranging from 27” to 43”, VA panels and IPS panels, cheapo TVs and nice monitors like this. What you will get here is a sturdy build, a clean and crisp picture, accurate colors, and a good field of vision when you’re close to it. Non-IPS monitors Above 27” are difficult to use close up because the corners/edges of the screen look gray/distorted which causes eye strain.
This is the best size/resolution/panel config I have used. Disclaimer: I write code and rarely game but when I do, it needs to be amazing.

Edited: it is not Benq's problem.
Good: no dead pixel, no bleeding. Color is very good and accurate. The low blue light is very useful.
Bad: I bought a Benq GW2765HT almost two months ago, which is a decent monitor. However, for this PD3200U, after I hooked it up with my dell inspiron laptop running windows 10, the monitor looks washed out, way worse than the GW2785HT. I then downloaded the .icm color profile for the monitor but there is simply no way to install the profile so that I can see the profile from display setting for the monitor. Luckily, I have a Plugable usb 3.0 to hdmi 2.0 to which I connected the pd3200u. Then, the .icm profile can be seen in display setting. Once windows 10 takes the correct color profile from Benq, the color of monitor shines! It is a fantastic monitor. So, if without the Plugable (which is a temporary solution) pd3200u cant work with both of my latops.
Edited two days later: The color profile can be shown in windows 10 display setting only when the laptop's built-in monitor is connected (I didnt make it connected since I solely use the two external benq monitors). One more note for future buyers: the Intel integrated graphics 630 with the i7 processor makes the monitor a little washed out. You need open intel's graphics setting and set the brightness to be -8. Then, the colors are perfect. Again, this is not benq's problem since I tried to connect the monitor with Plugable usb 3.0 to hdmi 4k adaptor and the monitor has just perfect color without any tuning.
There is no flickering issues and benq seems has a high quality control with the expensive monitors (for two monitors that I have bought in 60 days, no dead pixels, no bleeding, and colors are perfect).

Beautiful display that’s worth every penny.
Absolutely nothing bad to say about this monitor. It looks fantastic and I love being able to control the adjustment features from the puck.
Another underrated function of this beauty is the ability to connect two computers and use the same keyboard and mouse to operate them. I have a ‘built’ 9900K and a Mac Mini connected (one through display port and the other through HDMI) and switch between the two effortlessly. I keep a 5TB external connected through the monitor’s USB port that can be seem by both computers, so it provides instant access to files regardless of which computer I’m using.
Some things I like to do on a Mac and others can only be done by a PC. This monitor makes that possible and does so effortlessly.
Not to mention it looks fantastic doing it.
This BENQ sits between two 27” BENQ 2Ks. I have the 32 connected to the PC & Mac, and one 27 2K connected to the Mac and one 27 2K connected to the PC so no matter what I’m doing I have two monitors active with each computer.
Also - connecting keyboard and mouse to the monitor saved two USBs on the back of my PC. BONUS!

I wouldn't recommend it.
I needed a monitor and I can't justify returning it but I wouldn't recommend this monitor - particularly not at this price. My old Benq had a much more accurate and vibrant color to it. I have them side by side and can clearly see this isn't as good although it is the same price of the discontinued model. I've tried adjusting the gamma, color, brightness, contrast etc- it just isn't as good as my old screen. (Oh and the new menu system is unnecessarily tedious. I think I'll try another brand next time.

Solid Monitor
Most monitors these days have flimsy plastic stands and seem to be of poor quality. This works perfectly w/my MacBook Pro, 4K resolution and Retina down-sizing make the text sharp and crisp. I use this mainly for work & programming so cannot comment too much on the colors, though they look good to me. Very solid monitor, the base is metal, USB-C works great. After several poor experiences trying to get monitors that'd look good on MacOS, this one made the cut.

Glitches
This monitor gives a kind of pink glitches when playing or watching videos on YouTube ect (I have a good video card - GTX 1080Ti). Plus I think the picture is a little dark, I would like it to be brighter.

A significant noisy buzz is present at all times
Pros:
Excellent monitor for the price. Base is very heavy, but that is needed with a 32" monitor.
The hockey puck included is very convenient for shifting to desired shortcuts.
Con's:
Extremely noisy. A loud buzzy sound is constantly emitted when on. This renders it useless for any studio environment such as audio editing. The color is not quite white or able to match with the iMac Pro's 5K screen, even when setting custom temperatures.
There are no software for Mac, and the only software included is a a CD. That was useful a decade ago, not in 2019.
The BenQ website and support is pretty much non-existent. the site doesn't work and has no registration links, the QR does includes with the product ends in dead links as well so if you are looking for a brand with solid support I would look elsewhere.

Great computer with 100% sRGB
I'm an editor who needs a color accurate computer to color to. I didn't want to spend $5K for the Flanders and other top tier monitors, so I did my research and came upon this one. Some reviewers complain about a flicker issue. I've had this monitor for over a month now, and I haven't experience any flickering, and I'm using it at least 4 hours a day as my home editing monitor. I was worried about the flickering when I bought it, but I just thought 'I could ship it back, if anything'. Didn't have to come to that fortunately.
I can't speak for those who have experienced the flicker, but I can speak from my experiences with this monitor. It's amazing, and it compares well to the Asus P328q, which is what I use in office at work. It's been an amazing upgrade at home. I use it for games and editing.

Excellent for MAC for the money
I really like this monitor. It is not cheap but well-worth it. It made productivity SOOO much better for me. I am not as tired looking at a laptop screen. I attached to a Mac Mini and works well. The speakers however are terrible. You have to but another speaker for this thing. I read the review about the speakers but i didn't think they were this bad. Again, excellent for money. Well-worth it. Get a pair of plug-in or bluetooth speakers with your order. Thanks!

Great monitor for drafting and design work.
This is the second BenQ monitor I bought for my setup at home. I primarily use them for design/drafting, CAD, construction review and general office work. I never use it for gaming, other than poker when connected to my Mac.
Pros:
Control - The control puck is neat, but I never use it anymore. There is an app that you can download for windows (not sure about mac) is amazing. Full control over all settings in the monitors from windows and other the front panel buttons. I change the brightness of both displays several times of day and this makes that very simple
Image - I don’t get the ghosting on the 32 that I would occasionally notice on the 27, it’s got a very stable, clear, balanced image. I haven’t experienced any eye fatigue from long days of use.
Sound - I normally would never trust the sound from a monitor, but this is surprisingly good. I will probably get my speakers installed eventually, but these have been more than adequate for Zoom calls and just audio notifications from the PC
Ports - very loaded up on ports. I have it connected to my laptop dock and use the USB ports on the monitor to charge my wireless mouse and keyboard, and occasionally use the SD reader on the side
Build quality - solid chassis, good construction. The integrated stand is has a nice range of motion and makes setup easy.
Color - I’m not a color expert, but the colors look great. One note, make sure you find out what the gamma setting of your OS is, because if it’s set incorrectly, it will absolutely look weird and you’ll never get the colors right. I probably spent two days messing around with it, and once I figured out the gamma setting it looked perfect.
Cons
- I may only have one con, and it’s a little picky. Since I already owned a PD2700U, and wanted to add a second larger display, I wanted to keep it in the same family, so I went with the PD3200U. You might think they look similar, but they don’t. The bezel is thicker with a slightly recessed screen, and the 27 is flat with a very thin bezel. It doesn’t bother me too much because eventually I’ll add another 27 to the other side of the 32 and the setup will match.

Very nice 4k monitor with 2 thunderbolt3 ports . Unfortunately unable to serve my purpose.
BenQ PD2720U 27 inch 4K UHD IPS
It is a very nice 4k monitor with LOts of ports including 2 thunderbolt3 ports. Unfortunately unable to serve my purpose.
I bought this monitor for thunderbolt 3 daisy chain capability. (For doing Telehealth from home).
I was able to daisy chain this monitor with the LG ultra-fine 5K monitor. It drives the 5K monitor in 4K mode only. That was somewhat okay. However, periodically it blacks out causing interruptions. In addition, unlike LG5k monitor, the thunderbolt ports of this monitor do not charge my MacBook Pro (instead drains the battery).
Although it worked when I connected both monitor directly with my MacbookPro (separately) using 2 separates cables. Because of resolution difference (one 4k and anther 5k resolution), it distorts the image when moved a window between the monitors.
Sorry, I had to replace it with another LG 5k monitor.
