BenQ has introduced the RD280U monitor as part of its RD Series, tailored specifically for programmers and developers in India. Featuring a 28.2-inch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio and 4K+ resolution (3840 x 2560), it supports 95% P3 color gamut, ideal for displaying more lines of code vertically.
The monitor includes BenQ’s Fine-Coated Panel with advanced anti-glare and anti-reflective properties, enhancing coding environments. Key features of the RD280U include a KVM switch, multi-stream transport, and BenQ’s productivity software suite.
A proprietary coding mode improves text clarity in various lighting conditions, supported by a Coding HotKey for streamlined workflows. The MoonHalo Backlight enhances late-night coding environments, reducing eye strain and glare.
Comfort-focused features include Night Hours Protection, minimal brightness settings, eye-care filters, and Brightness Intelligence Gen2 for automatic ambient light adjustment. Display Pilot 2 software enhances user experience with tools like Desktop Partition, Software Dimming, and Application Mode.
