Question about BenQ PD3220U
Hello I need a monitor for my home office. Privately I use my Macbook Pro for graphics and in the business we have windows laptops. Until now I have always had a Thunderbolt screen from Apple and was always satisfied, but the PC didn't want to work with it. Now I don't want to have two separate screens but one that I can switch between both devices. I would have preferred the LG Ultrafine 5K but it doesn't have a KVM switch. The BENQ PD322OU has integrated speakers. Are these usable or rubbish? Thanks in advance. Frentz

I also bought the screen for my home office. My business notebook is a Lenovo T470p and my private one is a MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2016). Switching between the two works perfectly for me. The Lenovo is connected via DisplayPort and USB and the MacBook via Thunderbolt.
Now to the question of whether the speakers are usable: I think that depends a lot on your expectations. I'd say they're better than the built-in speakers on my Lenovo, but compared to the built-in speakers on the MacBook, they're clearly inferior (at least to my ears :)). So the speakers of the screen are ok for office tasks but nothing more. Hope this helps.
