BenQ RD280UA monitor review. Never-before-seen features for programmers – Chapter 1

With some features you haven’t heard of before, the BenQ RD280UA monitor sets new standards and surprisingly useful functions for programmers.

If you imagine a completely ordinary monitor, you could probably program on it – after all, it is an activity like any other. So it doesn’t seem that a monitor for programmers should be any different from a regular one. But BenQ with the new BenQ RD280UA monitor will lead you astray and show in what ways programmers can still be met.

Don’t expect a description of a regular monitor on the lines below, the base in the form of a 28.2″ display is already different. It has a non-standard aspect ratio of 3:2 and a resolution of 3840 × 2560 px. Because programmers usually don’t have very long lines of code, but they want to see more of them. In addition, when the monitor is turned to portrait, with a 16:9 ratio, there is often not enough space for lines, this is the optimal solution for both cases. And this is just one example out of many, how the monitor can be customized for programmers.

So what are the main elements for programmers? In terms of connectivity, the standard is USB-C with 90W reverse charging and a KVM switch. You will be pleased with the possibility of chaining monitors, so you can easily connect more of them to the laptop. There are also many easily accessible USB ports. We will also show a huge number of software gadgets and we will make a special stop at the front panel with a touch surface and indicators.
