National, 10 July 2024: BenQ, a global pioneer in display technology, has unveiled another innovative RD280U monitor in the RD Series — the first-ever range of monitors specifically engineered for programmers and developers. The RD280U is designed with BenQ$B!G(Bs unique Fine-Coated Panel, which features advanced anti-glare and anti-reflective properties tailored for coding, offering developers an optimal and adaptable coding environment.
The RD280U monitor features a 28.2-inch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio and 4K+ resolution, displaying more lines of code vertically. It includes a KVM switch, multi-stream transport, and BenQ’s productivity software suite. The proprietary coding mode enhances text clarity for better code distinction in various lighting conditions. Additionally, the monitor has a Coding HotKey for achieving a focused workflow, ideal for experienced developers, complemented by the MoonHalo Backlight for improved illumination.
MoonHalo Backlight aims to improve the work environment for late-night coding by creating an immersive atmosphere and reduces eye strain. It also provides extra lighting in low-lit areas and reduces daytime glare. Overall, it’s more than just a backlight, it is a revolutionary tool for programmer workspaces
The RD Series prioritizes comfort with Night Hours Protection, featuring minimal brightness, an eye-care filter, dark room optimization, and Brightness Intelligence Gen2 for automatic ambient light adjustment. Display Pilot 2 software also enhances user experience by enabling function adjustments without the OSD. It includes tools like Desktop Partition, Software Dimming, Application Mode, Direct Search, Focus, Circadian Mode, HiDPI, and Shortcuts.
