SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, April 14 , 2025 – BenQ, a global leader in visual display technology, introduced two new additions to its PD Designer Monitor Series today. It’s purpose-built to meet the exact demands of 3D artists, VFX animators, concept designers and game designers. The 27” 5K PD2730S and 32” 4K 144Hz PD3226G deliver industry-leading color accuracy, exceptional dark tone reproduction, and advanced color management solutions. This enhances workflow efficiency for intricate scene design and character concept development as well as empowering creators to produce realistic scenes with unmatched detail, clarity, and visual fidelity.
"As a leader in display technology, we understand the unique needs of Australian content creators, and the PD series has been designed with those needs in mind," said Shawn Zheng, Head of Division - B2C, BenQ Australia. "We are incredibly excited to release our first ever 5K monitor as well as a professional design monitor that is compatible with thunderbolt 4, which aligns with recent developments of the technology around us. We're proud to bring this innovative professional line-up to the market and can't wait to see how our content creation community embraces it."
Engineered to be the ultimate 5K color accuracy monitor for 3D artists, PD2730S offers 5K resolution, 218 PPI pixel density and 2000:1 high contrast ratio to deliver unmatched clarity and refined shadow details for pixel-perfect workflows. Featuring exclusive dark tone reproduction, PD2730S and PD3226G provide vivid clarity with richly nuanced shadows, offering gaming visuals with unprecedented depth and realism.
While professional monitors often compromise refresh rate for color accuracy, PD3226G features 144Hz high refresh with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technology for motion clarity to overcome limitations without sacrificing color fidelity. As the world’s first 4K 144Hz color accuracy monitor, PD3226G is a game-changer for gaming character designers and studios, instantly displaying every stroke on a tablet precisely to enable seamless scrolling, fluid animations, and pristine color fidelity.
With the ever-growing gaming industry and the capacities of gaming monitors improving, it is essential that game designers test their work against what their consumers are using and the 144Hz monitor allows for this. PD Series also benefits from BenQ AQCOLOR technology, delivering out-of-box color accuracy and comprehensive color management solutions tailored for professional use.
To address recent advancements in technology, PD2730S and PD3226G are equipped with advanced Mac-compatible features designed to elevate productivity and streamline creative workflows.

They have included thunderbolt 4 connectivity that transfers data, images, and video at ultra-fast 40Gbps speeds, supporting one 8K or dual 5K displays seamlessly to stay compatible and align with Apples new advancements. PD Series users can extend their workspaces with dual 4K or 5K 60Hz monitors via daisy chaining for multitasking, allowing for precision, and enhanced productivity. Further, their integrated KVM switch enables convenient control of dual systems for switching between PC and Mac-specific workflows or managing GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks. As a finishing touch, BenQ Display Pilot 2 software allows interface customization with smart tools like ICCsync and Desktop Partition to streamline tasks and enhance workflow flexibility.
