BenQ has introduced the RD280U monitor as part of its innovative RD Series, the first range of monitors specifically designed for programmers and developers. The RD280U is equipped with BenQ’s unique Fine-Coated Panel, which features advanced anti-glare and anti-reflective properties. This design offers developers an optimal and adaptable environment for coding.
The RD280U monitor boasts a 28.2-inch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio and 4K+ resolution, allowing for more lines of code to be displayed vertically. Key features include a KVM switch, multi-stream transport, and BenQ’s productivity software suite. The proprietary coding mode enhances text clarity, ensuring better code distinction in various lighting conditions. Additionally, the monitor is equipped with a Coding HotKey, enabling a focused workflow, which is ideal for experienced developers. The MoonHalo Backlight is included for improved illumination.
The MoonHalo Backlight enhances the work environment for late-night coding sessions by creating an immersive atmosphere and reducing eye strain. It provides extra lighting in low-lit areas and minimizes daytime glare. Overall, this feature is more than just a backlight; it is a revolutionary tool for programmer workspaces.
The RD Series emphasizes comfort with Night Hours Protection, which includes minimal brightness, an eye-care filter, dark room optimization, and Brightness Intelligence Gen2 for automatic ambient light adjustment. The Display Pilot 2 software further enhances user experience by enabling function adjustments without accessing the on-screen display (OSD). It includes tools such as Desktop Partition, Software Dimming, Application Mode, Direct Search, Focus, Circadian Mode, HiDPI, and Shortcuts.
Commenting on the launch, Rajeev Singh, Managing Director of BenQ India and South Asia, stated, “The RD280U represents a significant leap forward in our commitment to empowering developers with cutting-edge technology. The RD series, with its focus on eye care and ergonomics, exemplifies BenQ’s dedication to enhancing productivity and prioritizing the well-being of developers who spend long hours perfecting their craft.
