BenQ’s 27-inch 5K Mac monitor is a $999 Studio Display rival

BenQ's MA270S is a 27-inch 5K display designed for Mac users, priced at $999—$600 cheaper than Apple's Studio Display. It matches the Studio Display in size and resolution and adds a Nano Gloss finish, Thunderbolt 4, multiple ports, and a built-in KVM, with macOS brightness syncing. However, it lacks a webcam, has weaker speakers, and only 500 nits of brightness (vs 600 nits), so it's a cheaper but less feature-rich alternative.
