BenQ Launches RD280U 4K Developer Monitor: A Programmer’s Dream

BenQ has expanded its 4K monitor lineup with the RD280U, a cutting-edge display designed specifically for programmers and developers. This innovative monitor combines a unique 3:2 aspect ratio with customizable MoonHalo backlighting and advanced encoding modes to optimize the encoding experience.

Tailored for developers

The RD280U features a 28.2-inch 4K+ display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, allowing developers to view more lines of code vertically. The monitor’s Fine-Coated panel with EyeCare technology provides exceptional clarity while minimizing glare and reflections, increasing sharpness and reducing eye fatigue during long coding sessions.

MoonHalo Backlight: A revolutionary tool

One of the standout features of the RD280U is the MoonHalo Backlight. This innovative lighting system creates an immersive atmosphere that reduces eye strain when coding late at night. It also provides additional illumination in dimly lit areas and minimizes glare during the day, making it a valuable asset for developers.

Advanced Coding Modes and Productivity Improvements

The RD280U is equipped with advanced encoding modes, including a proprietary mode that enhances text clarity for better code differentiation in various lighting conditions. The monitor also comes with Coding HotKey for streamlined workflows, KVM switch, multi-stream transport, and BenQ’s comprehensive suite of productivity software.

User comfort and experience

BenQ focuses on user convenience and experience with features such as Night Hours Protection, which automatically adjusts brightness and color temperature to reduce eye fatigue in low-light conditions. Display Pilot 2 software allows users to easily personalize monitor settings without having to go through the on-screen display (OSD) menu.
