Thebest monitorsdon’t just give you great visuals. They immerse you in what you’re doing, so thebest gaming monitorsput you right in the middle of the action and the best monitors forMacBook Prosgive you a much bigger canvas to work, create or play on. But sometimes what’s right for one kind of job isn’t right for others, and if like me you wear a lot of different hats that can be a pain. BenQ may have the answer with the PD2706UA, its latest 27-inch Ergo Arm monitor.
BenQ’s Ergo Arm series monitors aren’t like other displays, because they have a whopping great arm on the back. That means you can move them about, spin them round and generally treat your work/creative/gaming area like a transformer. It’s fun with just one, but having seen the videos showing multiple Ergo Arms in all their possible configurations I reckon my perfect display setup would mean two of them.
I like to move it, move it
Many people these days wear multiple hats when they’re using their PC or Mac. I know I do. In addition to writing news and features for my day job, I live inside book and screenwriting apps and spend tons of time doing music recording and production too.
Finding a display to happily cope with all those very different things proved pretty tough for me, and the best solution I could find was anultrawide monitor. And while it’s great – it gives me tons of on-screen space – I’d like it a whole lot more if I could move it and twist it and reconfigure it to get some more real-world space too, because the desk setup I have for when I’m writing isn’t the desk setup I’d like for when I’m immersed in Logic Pro and using real keyboards, mixing desks and other bits of kit.
That’s why I like this new BenQ. The Ergo Arm enables you to get it into pretty much any position and orientation you like, so you can turn your workstation into a studio with a grab and a flip.
Specs-wise you’re looking at 4K UHD, DisplayHDR 400 and very accurate colours: BenQ says it delivers 95% P3, 100% sRGB, and 100% Rec.709 color spaces and along with “amazing” Delta E ≤ 3 color reproduction.
