It was first announced last month<\/a> without pricing or availability details, but BenQ has now shared all the specs<\/a> for its new 27-inch 5K display designed for Mac users. The MA270S matches the size and 5,120 x 2,880 resolution of the new Studio Display and Studio Display XDR Apple announced yesterday,<\/a> including a Nano Gloss surface providing improved viewing angles.<\/p>\n

The BenQ MA270S will be available through the company’s online store<\/a> and retailers including Amazon<\/a> this month for $999, making it $600 cheaper than Apple’s new $1,599 Studio Display. However, it’s not quite as fully featured as Apple’s latest monitor. The MA270S delivers 99 percent of the P3 color gamut, but is limited to 500 nits of brightness, compared to 600 for the Studio Display.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It has Thunderbolt 4 instead of Thunderbolt 5, but 4 USB ports instead of 2, plus 2 HDMI. There’s no camera. You do get a height-adjustable stand (that can also pivot) and a power button.<\/p>\n\n

BenQ’s MA-series is especially designed for color accuracy when paired with a MacBook.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
