BenQ launches new Mac monitors with "Nano Gloss" display, Thunderbolt 4, and a 5K option

BenQ has expanded its MA series once again with two new models, the MA270S and MA320UG. To recap, the company released a new 4K programming monitor with a 3:2 aspect ratio earlier this year and later followed it up with two new 4K models in its MA series. The new models build on the 2026 MA series, adding a 5K option and a high-refresh-rate 120Hz model.

Like previous MA models, the MA270S and MA320UG are built specifically for Mac users. Both use IPS panels with BenQ's Nano Gloss coating, which is meant to deliver the same vibrant colors and clarity you get from a MacBook or Apple Studio display. They support the same P3 color gamut as Macs (up to 99% for the MA270S and 98% for MA320UG) and include built-in color tuning to keep colors consistent between your MacBook and the external monitor.

The MA270S is the sharper of the two. It packs a 5K (5120 x 2880) resolution into a 27-inch panel, which works out to around 218 ppi. That's similar to the Apple Studio Display, so text looks crisp and UI elements scale properly in macOS.

On the other hand, the MA320UG drops the resolution to 4K at 32 inches but bumps up the refresh rate to 120Hz, which should make scrolling, animations, and general browsing feel smoother and consistent with the latest MacBook Pros. Thanks to macOS integration, you can also control brightness and volume directly using your MacBook's keyboard, just like you would with an Apple display.

In terms of connectivity, both models offer two HDMI ports, two USB-C ports, two USB-A, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports with up to 96W power delivery, enough to charge most MacBooks. The included stand is fully adjustable as well, with height, tilt, pivot, and swivel support. The monitors are currently listed on the BenQ EU website, but there is no pricing or availability details at this point.
