BenQ Readies the BL3200PT 32-Inch AMVA Monitor
BenQ is currently preparing the release of the BL3200PT, a 32-inch monitor equipped with a WQHD (2560 x 1440) AMVA panel. This model makes use of Flicker-free technology to eliminate flickering at all brightness levels and also features four blue light reduction modes (Multimedia - 30% reduction, Web-surfing - 50% reduction, Office - 60% reduction, Reading - 70% reduction), an ambient light sensor (to automatically adjust brightness), and a stand enabling tilt, pivot, swivel and height adjustment.
The BL3200PT has a 3,000:1 contrast ratio (20,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio), a 4 ms GTG response time, 300 cd/m2 brightness, dual 5 W speakers, D-Sub, DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort 1.2 inputs, plus a USB hub with two USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 ports. BenQ's monitor is expected to ship next month but it's already listed with prices starting at just under 600 Euro.

24" 1080p:
Display size: 27.89" × 15.69" = 437.55in² (70.84cm × 39.85cm = 2822.93cm²) at 91.79 PPI, 0.2767mm dot pitch, 8425 PPI²
32" 1440p:
Display size: 20.92" × 11.77" = 246.12in² (53.13cm × 29.89cm = 1587.9cm²) at 91.79 PPI, 0.2767mm dot pitch, 8425 PPI²
Sharpness of this monitor vs a standard HD monitor is identical.
Even at ~$1000 USD its interesting IMO,...and possibly worth buying.
I'm not sure its an improvement in my use case though. So I would much rather have a 4K monitor at 32" then the current crop of cheaper 4K monitors at 28". So I'll put it this way, I would probably be willing to spend ~$1000 USD on 4K 32" but not necessarily this BenQ 2560x1440.
Something like this really should be seen up close and personal before making such a decision though.
thanks
The blacks mmmmm....
However, that's not to say that there aren't or won't be some compelling non-4K delays like the LG 34UM95 34" Ultra Widescreen 21:9 Monitor at 3440x1440
I'd personally prefer a 34" 21:9 3440x1440 monitor to this 32" BenQ 2560x1440 but its hard to say if I would prefer the former over a 28" 4K monitor.
