The general monitor if staring at a long time in front of the eyes will appear black spots or black shadow, etc., time will be on the eyesight of the damage. Able to visually test a screen whether there is a strobe is to directly open the cell phone video function and the shutter speed to the maximum, at this time, if the screen has a black streak, indicating that the strobe is serious.

Now most laptops have type-C ports, which can be connected to the monitor for data transfer and video output, and can also be used to reverse charge the laptop if it supports Type C charging. The whole process of connecting to the monitor does not require the use of any docking stations or adapters, which is definitely MacBook user-friendly.
BenQ PD2705U interface is rich, including HDMI2.0, DP, mini DP, and two USB ports, the most important is the addition of a 65W Type-C interface, can be directly connected to the laptop through the attached Typec cable, the transmission of video signals at the same time can also be powered by the laptop, the use of a more convenient, but also can output 4K 60hz video. Video. With its own M-book color presets, at least from the time I've been using it, I can feel the display is almost identical to a Macbook.
With BenQ PD2705U body USB3.0 interface can provide USB expansion interface for the notebook, directly insert the USB flash drive into the PD2705U can be read directly by the laptop, to achieve the data file copy, similar to the mouse and keyboard and other peripherals can be accessed on the display, for only two Thunderbolt interfaces for macbook users to eliminate an expansion of the docking station, it is more convenient to use.
After using the Type-C interface to connect to the Macbook, and with the M-book color preset, the display is almost identical to the Macbook, with 4K resolution, making the details in the sample better rendered, which is undoubtedly the most perfect rendering for designers.
BenQ PD2705U professional design monitor comes with a second-generation external OSD controller, Hotkey Puck G2, which uses a metal knob design on top with moderate damping to freely adjust brightness, contrast, and volume; with its other four custom buttons, it can also be realized in color mode, PBP, KVM, mute, and one-click switching of the source; and three custom buttons to switch the display with a single click. Custom buttons can switch display modes, switch functions, and switch signal sources with one key, which can be customized in the monitor's OSD menu. If my host is rendering video, I will directly through the OSD controller to quickly switch the signal source to the laptop to write scripts, or when there is a need to consult the information I am also accustomed to such switching operations, after all, the big screen still looks comfortable. After a while, I've gotten into the habit of not going to the monitor, and it's really convenient.
Of course, people who like the traditional way also have a choice, BenQ PD2705U still retains the OSD settings button, 4 buttons located in the back of the monitor right at the bottom of the back, the right hand can be reached to touch, because there is the existence of a 5-way OSD oriented rocker blind control is not a problem.
The BenQ PD2705U has a variety of built-in professional design modes for different areas of design work, including Rec.709, CAD/CAM, animation design, darkroom, and dual-color modes, etc., of which Rec.709, sRGB, and Low Blu-ray have been seen, focusing on a few other more unique modes.
Among them, CAD/CAM mode enhances the sharpness and contrast of lines in engineering drawings, allowing users to better design skeletons; Dual-Color mode allows you to preview renderings while looking at line drawings; Darkroom mode allows you to easily process details in dimly lit environments; and Animation Design mode provides 10 levels of brightness adjustment, increasing the brightness of darker areas of the screen while still ensuring that the brightest areas are not exposed to light. The newest addition to the UEFI DualBIOS? technology is the DualBIOS? technology.
In addition to the above color presets, the BenQ PD2705U also includes KVM, PIP/PBP functionality. KVM (Multi-Video Mouse Switching) functionality allows you to connect two hosts at the same time, allowing you to control both hosts with one set of keyboards and mice. In video editing, one host edits the effect, the other is responsible for rendering the export, the two hosts screen to do random switching, easy to view the rendering progress and export the effect, without having to change back and forth to the workstation. Usually I use both Windows and Mac OS systems, if you install a dual-system computer has to be switched by restarting, which is relatively troublesome. With the PD2705U's KVM function, I can seamlessly switch between the two hosts through a monitor, a set of keyboard and mouse, and the desktop is free of messy wires after using KVM, and the entire work surface has become clean and tidy. This feature not only improves efficiency, but also saves office space without the need to purchase a separate set of keyboard and mouse.
PIP (Picture in Picture)/PBP (Picture in Picture) function allows you to display two sources on a single monitor, and users can independently set the display area and size of the two signals: side-by-side, or a small window on the main screen.
BenQ PD2705U appearance design is relatively simple and atmospheric, pure black body color will never go out of fashion, three ultra-narrow bezel design to make it look more high-end, the entire front can not see any buttons.
The right side of the fuselage also has a TYPE-C, a USB port and a 3.5mm headphone jack, which can be used to read USB flash drive data directly and also charge cell phones and other devices. Currently, many laptops have canceled the 3.5mm headphone port, occasionally listening to songs and watching movies can be directly on hand 3.5mm wired headphones into the monitor to use.
BenQ PD2705U's base still uses a cast iron square structure, the center of gravity is relatively more stable, to ensure the stability of the entire monitor, the general shake basically unhindered.
The bracket adopts a cylindrical structure to change the previous square, looks more comfortable and beautiful, this bracket also has a lift, rotation and other functions, can be used to adjust the screen angle, described in detail below. In addition, the PD2705U adds a cable grommet that works with the cable manager on the stand, which makes the entire back of the unit look cleaner and more organized.
Every day staring at the monitor for too long, the screen height can not be adjusted, always feel uncomfortable neck, can only use a stack of books to cushion the height, and occasionally do a vertical composition or find the error code, but the monitor can not be rotated, but also tilted to work, although the cervical vertebrae can be cured for many years, but very much affects the efficiency of the work.
BenQ PD2705U professional monitor bracket can be described as "flexible", which can be used to adjust the height of the screen, and also adjust the screen left and right angle, up and down tilt, and horizontal and vertical screen, each user can find their own angle, while the vertical screen knocking code can be a few more lines, to enhance the work efficiency.
After using the BenQ PD2705U Professional Design Monitor for a while the entire desktop becomes neater and feels like it has less wires, thus saving desktop space. Because of its factory uniform color calibration, after the purchase of the complete do not worry about the color calibration problem, enough to worry about. In addition, the built-in color presets provide a variety of design options to meet the needs of different design jobs, which greatly enhances work efficiency. KVM system allows a monitor to be connected to two computers at the same time, and only use the same set of keyboard and mouse to control it, making it especially convenient for daily use.

Overall, BenQ's products are quite reliable, and the PD2705U is a professional design monitor with excellent color performance, an efficient and comfortable user experience, and a price tag that's not too expensive, making it an absolute smashing blow to similar professional monitors. However, I think the Hotkey Puck G2 is still not cool enough, for example, you can add more RGB lighting ring, in the dark environment can pull the sense of atmosphere. In addition, if you can add a wireless design will also be able to eliminate the shackles of wires.
