Refurbished BenQ PD3225U 32" 4K Ultra HD IPS HDMI Height Adjustable Monitor With Speakers

32-Inch 4K IPS Black Display

The BenQ PD3225U is a 31.5-inch professional monitor designed around an IPS Black panel with a 3840 x 2160 4K Ultra HD resolution. Its 16:9 aspect ratio provides a spacious workspace for detailed visual content, documents, applications and multimedia. The display operates at a 60Hz refresh rate and offers a typical brightness of 400 nits, while the 2000:1 native contrast ratio provided by IPS Black technology is designed to produce deeper black levels than conventional IPS panels. The monitor supports 1.07 billion colours and provides 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles. A matte screen coating helps reduce reflections from surrounding light sources. With a pixel density of approximately 140 pixels per inch, the 4K resolution provides a detailed presentation across the large screen area. The display also supports HDR10 and VESA DisplayHDR 400 for compatible content, providing additional options for working with high-dynamic-range material.

Accurate Colour Reproduction

The PD3225U is designed with colour-focused workflows in mind and provides broad coverage across several commonly used colour spaces. BenQ specifies 100% sRGB, 100% Rec.709 and 98% P3 coverage, while the monitor supports dedicated colour modes including DCI-P3, Display P3, Rec.709, sRGB, HDR, M-Book, CAD/CAM, Animation, Darkroom and Black & White. The display is factory calibrated and has an average Delta E value of 2, providing a defined level of colour accuracy out of the box. It is also Pantone Validated and Pantone SkinTone Validated, while CalMAN verification and a factory calibration report are included. BenQ's Uniformity Technology is designed to maintain consistent colour and luminance across different areas of the panel. These features provide a practical set of tools for users working with photography, video, graphics, design applications and other tasks where consistent colour presentation is important.

Thunderbolt Connectivity and USB Hub

The BenQ PD3225U provides a broad connectivity selection centred around Thunderbolt technology. It includes two HDMI 2.0 inputs and one DisplayPort 1.4 input for connecting computers and other video sources. A Thunderbolt 3 port provides DisplayPort Alt Mode, data transfer and up to 85W of power delivery, allowing a compatible laptop to send video, transfer data and receive power through one connection. A second Thunderbolt output supports up to 15W power delivery and enables Thunderbolt daisy chaining. The monitor also includes a USB Type-B upstream connection, three USB 3.2 downstream ports and one USB-C downstream port. Thunderbolt daisy chaining can be used to extend the workspace across compatible displays. The monitor also includes a headphone jack and integrated 2.5W x 2 speakers. This selection of connections allows the display to serve as a central hub for compatible laptops, desktop computers and peripherals.

Tools for Creative Workflows

The PD3225U incorporates several functions intended to make professional display management and creative workflows more flexible. BenQ Display Pilot 2 software provides tools for organising display settings, application-specific modes, ICCsync and software dimming. The monitor also includes a KVM switch, allowing compatible systems to share connected keyboard and mouse peripherals. DualView enables two colour modes to be displayed simultaneously, which can be useful when comparing different working environments or colour spaces. Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture functions provide additional ways to view content from multiple sources. Dedicated modes include CAD/CAM, Animation, Darkroom, Black & White and Low Blue Light, allowing the display characteristics to be adjusted for different types of work. The monitor also supports M-Book mode for Mac-related workflows and includes a Hotkey Puck G2 accessory for convenient access to commonly used display controls.

Ergonomic Desktop Design

The BenQ PD3225U uses a black desktop design with an adjustable stand intended to accommodate different working positions. The stand provides tilt adjustment from approximately -5° to 20°, swivel adjustment of 30° to either side, a height adjustment range of 150mm and a 90-degree pivot function. This allows the monitor to be positioned according to the user's desk arrangement and viewing requirements, including vertical orientation when supported by the application. A standard 100 x 100mm VESA mounting interface is also provided for compatible monitor arms and mounting solutions. The assembled unit measures approximately 714.8mm wide, with its height adjustable between approximately 478.4mm and 628.4mm. The monitor weighs around 9.15kg with its stand and approximately 6.5kg without the base. Flicker-free technology and low-blue-light functionality are included, alongside TÜV certifications for these features.
