Overview
The BenQ RD280UG is a 28.2-inch professional programming monitor designed around a 3:2 aspect ratio and 3840 × 2560 4K+ resolution. Its 120Hz refresh rate, IPS panel, 2000:1 native contrast ratio, and coding-focused display modes provide a high-resolution workspace for software development, documentation, engineering applications, and productivity workloads.
4K+ 3:2 Display
The 3840 × 2560 resolution provides additional vertical workspace compared with conventional 16:9 4K displays. The 3:2 format is particularly suited to coding and document-intensive workflows where additional vertical screen area can reduce scrolling.
120Hz IPS Panel
The IPS display operates at up to 120Hz and supports a 5ms GtG response time. It provides 350-nit typical brightness, 2000:1 native contrast, 95% P3 color coverage, HDR10 support, and VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification.
USB-C and Connectivity
The RD280UG includes DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C connectivity. Its USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and up to 90W USB Power Delivery, allowing a compatible laptop to receive power while carrying display and data signals through a single connection.
USB Hub and KVM
The integrated USB hub provides USB 3.2 connectivity with Type-A and Type-C downstream ports. The monitor also includes KVM functionality, allowing compatible systems and connected peripherals to be managed from the display setup.
Coding and Eye-Care Features
BenQ provides dedicated coding modes and a Coding HotKey for quick access to coding-oriented display settings. The RD280UG also incorporates MoonHalo backlighting and eye-care functions including flicker-free technology, low blue light, Eye Reminder, ePaper mode, and Night Hours Protection.
Ergonomic Design
The supplied stand provides 150mm of height adjustment, tilt from -5° to +20°, ±15° swivel, and 90° pivot capability with Auto Screen Rotate support. A 100 × 100mm VESA mount is provided for compatible monitor arms and mounting systems.
