BenQ has been making excellent Mac-friendly monitors for years, and their new MA270S is the creme de la creme of their lineup. It’s a 27-inch 5K monitor, but with a feature that most monitors don’t ship with: a glossy finish. All of Apple’s displays ship with glossy finishes by default, but for one reason or another, matte finishes have dominated the external monitor market – and BenQ is bucking that trend. This makes the MA270S much more at home with the Mac. more…

I set an ambitious target of a fortnight for completing all the main home improvement work on my new apartment, and so far seem to be getting pretty close. This includes much of my new smart home setup … more…
