Reviewer score 88%HDR support is welcome, the brightness can't really be said to make the most of it. There's a 5ms response time and the top refresh rate is 60Hz, so this isn't going to appeal to the cult of high frame-rates currently sweeping the gaming world. But if you want something that's made to pair with your MacBook Pro as strongly as possible, this is largely overkill.

Pros

- HDR support
- Good value
Cons
- No HDMI 2.0
- No HDR support

Reviewer score 61%The BenQ PD2705Q uses IPS technology and has a 27in screen. It can be found on Amazon for £403.98 in the UK and $399.99 in the U.S. Most of the extra space around the sRGB zone is focused on the red direction. But the contrast levels are generally good and the brightness is close to the quoted level.
