- The MA270S offers 5K resolution with 99% P3 color coverage and contrast
- MA320UG combines 4K resolution and 120Hz refresh for smoother video motion
- Thunderbolt 4 connectivity enables daisy-chaining and power delivery to multiple devices
BenQ has launched its latest MA series business monitors, saying they offer Mac users a higher level of visual fidelity and workflow efficiency than ever before.
“We designed the new MA series with Mac users in mind, something that not only connects, but improves,” said Peter Huang, president of BenQ Corporation.
“These monitors bring true Mac colors to life with smoother motion and smarter workflows, helping users work and create more freely than ever before.”
BenQ MA series models and key specifications
The MA270S is a 5K monitor with a resolution of 5120 x 2880 at 218 pixels per inch, 99% P3 color coverage, and a 2000:1 contrast ratio.
This setting is intended to provide clear images and accurate color reproduction for design and editing work, addressing color inconsistencies that can appear on standard monitors.
The MA320UG is a 4K monitor aimed at video and multimedia creators, offering a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother motion.
It offers 98% P3 coverage and a 2000:1 contrast ratio, intended to reproduce motion more fluidly and colors more consistently across all media workflows.
Both models support Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, offering up to 96W for devices and an additional 15W for peripherals.
Smart KVM functionality allows users to switch between two connected systems using a single keyboard and mouse, which can be useful in hybrid setups involving MacBook Pro, Mac mini, or Mac Studio devices.
The MA series uses Nano Gloss panels to control reflections and maintain high contrast, and each screen includes a 150mm adjustable stand.
The monitors are tuned to match the Mac’s visual behavior rather than simply being compatible, with color profiles and brightness curves aligned with MacBook and Mac Studio displays.
The company is also integrating Display Pilot 2 software to enable automatic color synchronization and workspace management across multiple systems, and says this system will provide a single interface for adjusting display settings and managing workflows.
Additional MA series models, such as the MA270U and MA320U with Nano Matte panels and the MA270UP and MA320UP in Nano Gloss, offer panel options for different visual preferences.
The series combines a minimalist design with color calibration that aligns with Mac displays.
It also offers functionality aimed at supporting creative work while maintaining consistency across devices.
Although the MA series offers workflow features such as Smart KVM, daisy-chaining, and Mac-specific tuning, it remains uncertain whether users will replace Apple’s built-in displays.
The monitors provide incremental benefits in color management, motion smoothness, and workspace control, but convenience and integration with Apple hardware remain important factors.
Adoption will depend on price, availability and overall performance, as users weigh whether these external displays justify the switch from native solutions.
