29 Inch Monitors
BenQ RD280U 28.2" 4K IPS Programming Monitor
BenQ RD280UA 28.2" 4K+ Nano Matte IPS Programming Monitor
The monitors in this size are BenQ's two programming displays, the RD280U and the RD280UA. Both have a 28.2 inch IPS panel in a 3:2 shape that gives more screen height than a 16:9 panel. The RD280U is a 4K model with USB Type-C and 90W power delivery, and BenQ covers it with a 3 year warranty. The RD280UA is listed as 4K+ with a Nano Matte IPS finish.
Both suit coding, documents and spreadsheets rather than gaming, since the taller screen shows more lines at once. The matte finish on the RD280UA cuts reflections under office lighting.
