BenQ RD280U 28-inch
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Dell S2722DC is a 27-inch WQHD IPS monitor aimed at productivity and light gaming, featuring USB-C single-cable docking with 65 W power delivery, extensive ergonomic adjustments, and a sleek, eco-friendly design. While it offers sharp visuals and flexible connectivity, its 75 Hz panel and limited HDMI bandwidth keep it out of the high-performance gaming segment.
The BenQ RD280U is a 28.2" 4K+ IPS monitor aimed at developers, offering a unique 3:2 aspect ratio, strong color coverage and a 90 W USB-C docking solution with built-in KVM. Eye-care technologies and a fully adjustable stand make it comfortable for long coding sessions, though the 60 Hz panel and niche aspect ratio limit its appeal for gamers and general consumers.

Professional reviewers praise the S2722DC for its workplace versatility, highlighting the seamless USB-C docking, extensive ergonomic adjustments, and accurate color performance. While they note the monitor's 75 Hz panel is adequate for casual gaming, they point out its limitations for competitive play and the lack of HDMI 2.0, HDR, and a KVM switch.
Everyday users love the monitor's clean design, easy setup, and especially the USB-C charging for laptops, calling it ideal for remote work. Common complaints focus on the underpowered speakers, the older HDMI standard, and occasional insufficient charging power for high-end laptops.
Professional reviewers rate the RD280U 4.5/5, praising its developer-focused 3:2 aspect ratio, crisp 4K+ display and convenient 90 W USB-C docking, while noting the 60 Hz refresh and niche aspect ratio as drawbacks for non-technical users.
Everyday users are highly positive, highlighting comfort during marathon coding sessions, the flexible ergonomic stand, and the tidy single-cable setup. Complaints focus on slightly softer text, limited USB-A ports, and occasional firmware hiccups with the KVM or auto-dimming features.
