BenQ is adding to the growing pile of HDR . The previously announced monitor will land on retail shelves on August 7 for $699.99 (MSRP), the company announced today.
The EX3203R will arrive with VESA's entry-level DisplayHDR 400 certification. Among other things, the certification requires that s be able to produce 400 nits of brightness. That is exactly what the EX3203R is rated to deliver (at peak). BenQ also touts a feature it is calling Brightness Intelligence Plus Technology, or B.I. + Tech. This is supposed to reduce eye strain by dynamically adjusting the brightness and color temperature in response to ambient lighting.
Other specs include a 4ms response time, 3,000:1 contrast ratio, and a claimed 95 percent coverage of the sRGB color space (90 percent of DCI-P3) for accurate colors. Connectivity consists of two HDMI 1.4 ports, a DisplayPort 1.2 port, and a USB Type-C port.
We have not spent any hands-on time with this display, though the paper specs look promising. However, BenQ may want to rethink its pricing. AOC's Agon AG322QC4. We're not seeing anything that would justify a $100 on the EX3203R, if that's what it ends up selling for on the street.
