If you use a MacBook with an external monitor, you probably know the pain. You plug your Mac in, look at the external screen, and think: “Why do all my colors look completely wrong?” BenQ Malaysia wants to solve that problem once and for all. They’ve just officially expanded their MA Series lineup here in Malaysia. Instead of making generic monitors and asking you to fiddle with the color profiles, BenQ literally built these screens to behave like an extension of your MacBook. No more messy calibration needed!
They have 6 different variants, covering 27-inch and 32-inch sizes. You can pick between a Nano Matte finish (great if you sit near a sunny window) and a stunningly vibrant Nano Gloss finish (which gives you that glassy, rich Apple look).
The Big Boys: MA270S (5K!) & MA320UG (120Hz!)
While the entry models give you crisp 4K workflows at 60Hz, BenQ brought out the big guns for the pro crowd.
First up is the MA270S. This is a 27-inch 5K monitor (5120 x 2880) with a beautiful Nano Gloss panel. At RM5,339, it’s aimed straight at people who want the crispness and high pixel density of a first-party Apple Studio Display, but want to save a ton of cash. Plus, it gets a 2000:1 contrast ratio, covers 99% of the P3 color gamut, and includes a highly adjustable stand out of the box.
If smooth scrolling and video editing is your jam, you’ll want to check out the MA320UG. It’s a massive 32-inch 4K screen running at a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
What makes the 5K & 120Hz models special?
Unlike the standard 4K models that use USB-C (90W), the premium MA270S and MA320UG come with true Thunderbolt 4 connectivity. That means faster data, 96W charging for your laptop, a built-in KVM switch, and support for Daisy Chaining multiple monitors easily!
Control Everything From Your Mac Keyboard
The absolute best part about the MA series is the Display Pilot 2 software. Once you download it, you can change the monitor’s volume and screen brightness using the actual brightness and volume buttons on your MacBook keyboard. It sounds simple, but if you’ve ever had to awkwardly grope around the back of a monitor for a tiny joystick just to lower the brightness at night, you know this is a massive quality-of-life win.
