Overview
BenQ announced its new 27‑inch 5K monitor, the MA270S, aimed at Mac users. The display matches the size and resolution (5,120 × 2,880) of Apple’s recently announced Studio Display and Studio Display XDR, and features a Nano Gloss surface for improved viewing angles.
Specifications
- Screen size: 27 inches
- Resolution: 5,120 × 2,880 (5K)
- Surface: Nano Gloss for better viewing angles
- Target audience: Mac users
Pricing and Availability
The MA270S will be sold through BenQ’s online store and major retailers such as Amazon starting this month. It is priced at $999, which is about $600 less than Apple’s Studio Display priced at $1,599.

While the MA270S offers the same resolution and a comparable size, it does not include all of the features found in Apple’s monitor. (The original source notes that the MA270S delivers 99 % … but the sentence is incomplete.)
