BenQ RD320U 32 inch 4k Monitor for Programming

Back in 2017 I wrote a post on how to pick a good monitor for software development. No one asked me to write that post but I felt compelled after finding, buying and using the monitor I chose back then. The tools we use as developers are important.

Just to get this out of the way, this is the first post in 9+ years and 500+ posts where a company reached out to me to request I write a review about their product and I accepted. They sent me the monitor for free in return for writing this post but I let them know I’d be writing an honest review and they were ok with that.

Over the years I’ve turned down $5,000+ worth of gear and services because I don’t want to suggest or recommend things I haven’t used personally or feel strongly about.

This situation is different. A monitor is a useful tool and I’ve always wanted to try a 4k monitor. If you read my other monitor post you know I was speculating to see if I could read text comfortably at 4k 100% scaling with a 32-36" monitor based on PPI calculations.
