7.1/10verdict: good, not the best

The BenQ RD320UA is for people who want a large 4K IPS screen that docks a laptop over a single USB-C cable. It suits desks that share the monitor between two computers, thanks to the built-in KVM and 90W USB-C. It is a weaker fit for anyone who wants high refresh rates or convincing HDR.
