5K displays are currently quite popular. 5K resolution was only accessible via a few monitors outside of Apple’s ecosystem, even though it was scarcely new (Apple first debuted a 5K iMac in 2024). But that is beginning to change thanks to monitors like the BenQ PD27230S. This feature-rich monitor comes with a built-in remote control, Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, and 5K resolution.
