BenQ PD3220U
Published 30 September 2026 · Feroz Sheikh, publisher · How we review evidence
BenQ PD3220U has USB-C video / DisplayPort Alt Mode, DisplayPort, HDMI inputs in this profile. Check the actual video input before choosing a laptop cable or docking station.
| Connection detail | Documented scope |
|---|---|
| Video inputs | USB-C video / DisplayPort Alt Mode DisplayPort HDMI |
| Display modes in this profile | 3840 × 2160 at 60 Hz |
| Cable evidence | No exact supplied-cable path approved |
The upstream Thunderbolt 3 port also documents DisplayPort Alt Mode. Its Thunderbolt output and downstream USB-C cannot replace the video input.
Choose the input before the cable
This profile includes a USB-C video input. A USB-C downstream or data-only socket on the same monitor is a different connection. Match the upstream port shown in the manufacturer manual and use a cable rated for video.
The 4K60 profile does not approve HDR, variable refresh, gaming modes or a two-screen dock path. Per-input bandwidth and monitor USB settings can change the available mode.
Check the complete setup
The monitor specification establishes its end of the link. Your laptop still needs a video-capable output and enough display streams; an adapter must work in the required direction. A power-delivery wattage is a maximum capability, not proof that every laptop will charge at that rate.
Manufacturer evidence
These are documentation findings, not NYBreaking hardware tests. A successful source fetch checks availability; it does not independently prove every connection.
