Purchased a new M4 Mac mini ( my first Mac ) that was the easy part. I was lost when it came to which monitor to buy as after doing a lot of research you come across all these scaling issue scare stories or people saying it’s not bright enough….ignore them all and buy this.I turned the Mac on plugged the monitor in via hdmi and boom perfect 4k picture and everything was scaled exactly how I would want it as it recognises this model of monitor automatically & sets it up perfectly. I have very poor eyesight but everything is already perfectly readable and all fonts are clear and precise so I didn’t have to change anything at all. The websites all load up big and crystal clear and web browsing and watching videos is a joy.I will point out I purchased this as a computer to work from home and browse the web etc with no gaming in mind but I’m sure it’s capable of good 4k 60Hz Xbox or Switch 2 use etc. I set the actual monitor on 100 brightness but it’s only actually at 75% via the Mac so can go far brighter ( it would burn my eyes though 🤣 ) plenty of headroom left. The speakers aren’t very good but some monitors don’t even come with any so it’s a plus to have them at all and I will be using external Bose ones anyway.The stand is amazing and the way to click it in and set it up is genius plus you get every connector you could ever want included.Unfortunately the first one I ordered had a dead pixel but Amazon instantly arranged a free UPS return and a replacement was delivered the next day ( this one ) . I know all monitors carry the dead pixel lottery so it was very important that I purchased from a trusted retailer who gave me the security of knowing any issues would be solved without fail which is why I would never buy expensive electronics from curry’s or less know online sites.To sum up, if you want a fantastic monitor for your M4 Mac Mini then buy this, it’s easily worth the £349.99, you don’t have to do any setting up or adjustments & it includes everything you need. To be honest this is probably far too good a monitor for my needs so I’ve probably missed out most of the other amazing things it can do 😊

Really good experience with the monitor so far (from this supplier anyway). Had it for 5 monthsMade of high quality materials, and a lot of great quality cables provided also. The colour is excellent out of the box and will hold up to most calibrators. If anything, they've overdone all the options here, perhaps given people too many necessary options to mess themselves up with here. I do colojr grading as part of what I do for a living.Anyway, Highly recommended.A few things to be aware of: The monitor is heavy to lift, a bi-product of decent quality materials I guess. The design of the ports at the back, they are hard to access, they haven't designed this part that well - But these are minor points and the device looks to be durable.

I've bought an m4pro mac mini and felt that the apple studio display was as good as my 27" iMac which was excellent. But £1500? For a monitor? It goes up to 600 nits but I never go that bright. When my iMac died I got the m1 iMac. Its been......OK but the screen is pinched. So I took a deep breath and orders a 3225U.Connecting it up to the iMac to check out (the mini arrives tomorrow) it connected instantly. Swapping between the colour options I clicked on m-book and was astounded.Loads and loads of room on it. The colours are gorgeous. Contrast and brightness fine, running well below maximum. Text is very crisp but a bit big on default - I'm sure I'll get used to it.The Mac mini arrived today and instantly saw and connected to the Benq. The big text has resolved itself because I was able to get the text size right.I found the overall picture a tad blue on the Mac mini so ran an x-rite profiler which corrected it.I'm very very pleased and can thoroughly recommend it - but glad I was able to create my own profile.After 1 monthStill delighted and impressed - printing was quite hit and miss with both iMacs but with the Benq what I see is what I get. With a recent print job of 11 different images on A3 Marrutt paper I saved a lot of time, paper and ink. And money. Oh and stress.I have no issues at all with text. I sit around 2 feet away from the monitor and text is crisp and sharp. I have downloaded the excellent BetterDisplay app which gives me the exact text size I want.But it is the size and quality of images that still blow me away. I set up my wallpaper in Lightroom to 3849 x 2160 with resolution at 163 ppi. Truly stunning. I don't think I can't go back to 27" for my main display now.After 2 monthsAlways in the back of my mind was the nagging feeling that I might be better with an Apple Studio display to go with my Mini M4pro.So, I bit the bullet and ordered a Studio display and set them up side by side. I ran a calibration using a SpyderPro which lays a software profile on the top of the default display. I used Lightroom to set up wallpaper at 3840 x 2160, 163 ppi for the Benq and a separate folder for the Apple at 5120 x 2880 at 218 ppi.The results were, well, almost indistinguishable. Both were razor sharp but the Benq is 32" as opposed to the Apple at 27" so the Benq was more dramatic and pleasing to look at. I can only describe the sharpness as....gentler on the Benq but not softer. But both images are beautiful.Text was predictably sharper on the Apple but a little small on default. Enlarging the text via display settings made the difference between the two negligible. They're both pin sharp.The sound on the display is about the same as on my old Intel iMac. Quite good but if you are serious about your music you will want better.I am puzzled about the complaints about the webcam. It's fine for FaceTime and Zoom - my iPhone 13pro connected via the Benq is a lot better but if someone calls its just so much easier to answer on the Apple and have the mic and camera ready to go.One odd thing that i have discovered is that YouTube videos are better to watch on the Apple than the Benq in full screen - I presume because the compressed resolution is less obvious on the smaller screen.So which will I keep?Them both.Bugger.If I had to keep just one I would keep the Benq but I would miss the Apple. I think if I kept the Apple I would miss the Benq more.

The Monitor is very vivid and sharp. a bit too plastic for the price but picture is good.

Well made with robust stand. Decent price for the specs. Easy to setup. Just in case you're wondering YES this is a Windows compatible monitor. The manufacturer's blurb and reviews might make you wonder if it's only for Mac. It works fine with windows. The Display Pilot software, not strictly needed, also runs under Windows 10/11.This is my second PD series monitor so I guess I'm a fan of the good quality and reliability

Not stretching to the ridiculous Apple monitor prices and did some research. This got consistently good results particularly for colour and graphics. Got one and was not disappointed. Lovely picture. Sound is not brilliant but my old Apple monitor didn't have speakers so I did without. 27 inch monitor is about right although my son in law suggested bigger but then I think for him it's a penile substitute. /joke.
