The BenQ MA270S 5K monitor features a 27-inch 5K Nano Gloss panel that perfectly reproduces colors on your Mac for a seamless experience.

The monitor’s screen offers 5K resolution of 5120×2880 pixels, a screen refresh rate of 70Hz, and a pixel density of 218 ppi. It offers 99% P3 color coverage and 2000:1 contrast ratio.
In terms of connectivity, the monitor comes with a Thunderbolt 4 port that delivers up to 96W of power. Users can use this port to connect, charge, and transfer data over a single cable.

We spoke to BenQ India Managing Director Rajeev Singh on the sidelines of the event to understand the product better and he told us that this 5K monitor is focused on creators. “…so we did a lot of research and identified these pain points [of Mac users]. One of the biggest pain points is color accuracy and color reproduction. So basically, whenever you connect any external monitor to your MacBook or iPad, the colors you see on the display are very different from the colors you see on your laptop’s display. So that’s been a major pain point… So leveraging our display technology, we designed a set of monitors primarily for Mac users. ” Singh told HT Tech, while adding that the company’s new monitors will not only work with Macs, but also MacBooks, iPads and even iPhones.
“All devices, when you connect them to our monitors, you’ll be able to see the exact same colors that you see on a Mac device,” he said.
