BenQ Unveils PD2506Q 25-inch 1440p Monitor with USB Power Delivery Input

[btarunr]

BenQ introduced the PD2506Q, a 25-inch monitor for creative professionals. The monitor offers several features useful for pros, such as 10bpc color, AQColor calibration, a "Darkroom" mode that adjusts settings to an image post-processing environment, Design and CAD-CAM modes that appear to add certain edge anti-aliasing to the screen; etc. Its key specs include WQHD (1440p) resolution, DisplayHDR 400 / HDR10 readiness, 178° viewing angles, and 350 cd/m² brightness. A stand-out feature is its set of inputs, which include HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB type-C. The monitor supports type-C for display input (as in DisplayPort passthrough), USB upstream input, and power delivery (USB-PD 65 W needed). It also supports daisy-chaining of up to two monitors. If you lack a USB-PD power source, you can just use the included power brick.

Based on this article I'm assuming that TPU has not found its proofreader yet. Because if the proofreader is hired, he must not be very good. If you have a decent amount overall tech knowledge, this article would raise a red flag. Simple because decent Monitors are relatively power hungry, let alone good one. Take this BenQ monitor above for example, the spec page rates it for 170W. USB PD currently maxes out at 100W, with 200W just recently standardized, it wont be out on products just yet. So how in the world can this monitor can be powered just by 65W PD? Our resident wizard using his magic to supply the rest of the power?

Briefly going through the product page, I can easily find out that it supplies up to 65W PD to a connected device via USB-C Displayport, usually a laptop or maybe even a USB PD powered mini PC/NUC or a smartphone. It doesn't use USB PD as a power source. It even doesn't have a power brick like the article implies. It connects directly a kettle plug into the monitor.

Want to confirm this further? Read the quick start guide or the manual. It only says to power the monitor is to plug in the included kettle plug into the monitor. No mention of USB-C PD at all.

Hurry up W1z, hire and certify that proofreader quick.

I'm not sure about this monitor or the one you're using, but my monitor consumes 14W being a 24" IPS QHD 60Hz.

I'm still waiting for the day when we can power our monitors and show audio/video data with one USB-C cable going from the motherboard and nothing else. No bricks, no thick cables.
