Description

Show Mac Colors, in Every Pixel

Engineered for Mac, this 5K monitor delivers 14.7 million pixels of precision, advanced color accuracy, Thunderbolt connectivity and blazing brightness for professional-grade results.

Colors Not Matching?Plug in and Get the Right Colors
Most external monitors display colors differently from MacBook computers. As the best color-matching monitors for all MacBook generations, BenQ MA series delivers a wide P3 color gamut and BenQ’s Mac color-tuning technology- making the MA Series the best monitors for MacBook users.

Sync with MacBook Control
Now you can synchronize controls between your MacBook computer and monitor with simple keystrokes, just like you would on your MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. Simply press the brightness or volume key, and both displays will adjust simultaneously.

Get it Done with Display Pilot 2
Experience Mac-like simplified settings with BenQ Display Pilot 2 software.

Nano Gloss Panel
Mac Colors, in Full Clarity
Love the way your Mac looks? You’ll see it here, all in stunning detail. The Nano Gloss surface brings crystal-clear depth, true blacks, and brilliant highlights, revealing every nuance with natural contrast. Even from the side, colors stay accurate and lifelike, so every angle feels unmistakably Mac.

A Powerful Hub Connects All
One cable brings everything together, display, power, and connection. You can keep your MacBook, Mac Mini, Mac Studio iPad, iPhone, and more charged and ready.

*USB-IF certified USB-C ports ensure safe charging and reliable connectivity without risking damage to your Apple devices.

Daisy Chain
Expand Your Vision
See more of your timeline, your creative space, your world. Up to dual 5K display support lets you see every detail with room to think and create.

*Since Apple Silicon M1 and M2 chips do not support multiple monitors natively, Daisy Chain cannot be applied on M1 and M2-based devices. Daisy Chain can be applied on Apple Silicon Pro, Max, and Ultra-based devices.

Built-in Smart KVM
Two Systems. One Control.
Switch between starting ideas and final touches without breaking your flow. With the built-in KVM switch, your MacBook and Mac Studio feel like one system. One keyboard. One mouse. One seamless workflow.

We Adjust Easily. You View Comfortably.
No more bad posture. BenQ’s best monitors for MacBook Pro and MacBook Air go beyond screen limitations, offering greater freedom with multiple angles and height adjustments for an improved viewing experience.
