The BenQ MA32OU business monitor is a 32-inch 4K HDR monitor with MacBook-focused features that enhance productivity with seamless integration and remarkable color accuracy
The BenQ MA32OU is one of those monitors, and the moment I connected to it, I knew there was something special about this display. I rotate monitors like some people rotate their socks. I’ve gotten pretty good at knowing if any of the best business monitors will be a hit after only spending a little bit of time with it. The BenQ MA32OU is from BenQ’s line of monitors specifically designed for Mac users. It’s sleek, white, minimal, seamless MacOS integration and incredibly similar color profiles to the MacBook.
The BenQ MA32OU is packed with color calibration and integration software with Mac, solving the color inconsistency between MacBook displays and larger external monitors.BenQ MA32OU: Pricing & availability
The BenQ MA32OU is a premium external display option for MacBook users at $600. While it’s more affordable than Apple’s Studio Display, it still holds plenty of advanced features tailored to MacOS users. As of September 2024, BenQ has made the MA32OU available for pre-order with a general release slated for later this year.BenQ MA32OU: Unboxing & first impressions
Like every other monitor I tried from BenQ, unboxing the MA32OU was straightforward and clean. The monitor was securely packed alongside essential accessories including a USB-C cable, HDMI cable, power cord, and necessary documentation. Setting up the monitor itself is super easy, and it took only a few moments. The MA32OU was up on my desk and operational moments after arrival, fitting beautifully on my monitor arm.
The overall design language fits the Apple ecosystem, with simplified ports on the back, much like an Apple monitor. However, what is remarkable is that, unlike an Apple monitor, this display has an HDMI option.BenQ MA32OU: Design & build quality
Whether this is the best monitor for MacBook Pro is a matter of taste. But the BenQ MA32OU features a MacBook-like inspired design with a sleek white chassis and slim bezels, making it a stylish addition to any workspace.
