The BenQ PD2710QC is the newest in the company’s PD series, that indicates it should provide functionality and features aimed at those who need precision and solid color support. Clearly, that’s where BenQ has focused with the 27in LED display, which covers 100 % of the sRGB color gamut and provide Technicolor certification to accommodate Hollywood and other constituencies in the media and entertainment industries.

The intriguing aspect of this display is undoubtedly the USB-C hub, which company has not yet fully detailed. BenQ says that the docking station will enable for the data transfers, laptop charging, broadband connections, and video and audio transmissions over a USB-C cable which also doubles as the display connection. That should keep the clutter on your desk to a minimum. The PD2710QC also supports DisplayPort 1.2 and feature an HDMI 1.4 port.
