BenQ GW2475H Computer Monitor 24 FHD 1080p | IPS | Wide-Viewing Angle | Low Blue Light | Eye-Care Tech | Flicker-Free | ePaper Mode | Tilt Screen | Headphone Jack | HDMI | VGA

I love everything about this monitor except what I bought it for. HDR will not work. Cannot stream 4K or HDR from Vudu. Cannot stream 4k HDR from Netflix or Amazon Prime. Ive tried 3 different Displayport 1.4 cables to rule them out. I have a GTX 1080 which i know has dispalyport 1.4. BenQs website and several reviews say the monitor is comes with Displayport 1.4 connection, but other reviews say its only Displayport 1.2, which cant handle the data needed for HDR. I can turn HDR on in Windows 10, but the selection to stream in HDR is grayed out and cannot be turned on. I dont know if its a Windows problem or BenQ is lying about its Displayport capability or its HDR capabilities. Other than that....its a nice monitor. Update 2-10-19: Turns out there was a Windows 10 update that completely screwed up HDR streaming. Its become an issue for a lot of people. And Vudu doesnt support HDR or 4K to desktops. Games that are HDR capable WILL display proper 4K HDR.

Great monitor but the speakers are lacking on internet sound... will need external speakers.

Great monitor , use daily , great for everyday use

Great picture quality, has alot of features, if you go to benq site, check it out, but yeasterday twice, and today at least 8 times, so far, it just goes black screen for 3 to 5 seconds at a time, cuts off/out. WTH is up with that! Ive had to return alot of items here on Amazon as of late, starting to get a complexhere, lol. But this may be going back for a replacement. Not spending that kind of money on something the 1st and second day thats acting up like that. Best to find these things now, not after 30 days.

Given the price, this monitor is great. It wouldnt be ideal for gaming, but is serviceable as a 2nd monitor, working seamlessly with my laptop. Runs cool and quiet. When I ran into an issue connecting, customer service was great, responsive, and proactively followed up to make sure everything was working well.

love it

This monitor is a must have for console gamers. The 4k clarity is great, and the HDR makes colors really pop! In a dark room the screen is more than bright enough. In a brightly lit room, its on par with most TVs. It also makes a great 4k computer monitor as well, only 60hz so not best for PC gaming, but a very nice general purpose PC monitor. Not the best build in speakers, but thankful it even has them.

This monitor has great resolution, and color accuracy. It’s vibrant. No dead pixels that I could see upon arrival, even with a test. However, my unit came with a defective backlight. It’s a VA panel so I didn’t expect to have any backlight bleed, but alas it has bad bleeding in basically all the corners. I assume this is defective and not something you should expect with this display. The HDR on this monitor isn’t effective at all. In fact, HDR content looked better and more vibrant and lifelike with it turned off. I can only assume that’s because this monitor has no VESA certification for HDR. It definitely wouldn’t even support displayHDR 400 standards. I’m sure this monitor is decent with a non-defective backlight and if you don’t care to use HDR, but for me this was very underwhelming. Even if the backlight wasn’t defective, I would still unfortunately return this monitor because of the false HDR.

The screen initially was disappointing as indicated by many with white hue around the screen, but I noticed that the hue disappeared when I switch to my switch so I digged a bit deeper and experimented a bit and found out that macOS has HDR enabled by default for the external monitor and that HDR adds white hue around the screen. Once it is disabled the picture quality becomes better (there still might be slight white hue but it is a lot better) and really show its fantastic color depth. You can keep the emulated HDR that you set from the monitor buttons but you have to disable HDR within the display setting preference pane in the MacOS.

I had high hopes for the 32 4K BenQ HDR that is supposed to have more colors because of 10 bit. But its really not that great. Im surprised they get such good reviews. I have an ASUS 32 PQ321 from a few years back. Side by side you can really see the BenQ is not that great. Viewing angles are TERRIBLE, you move your head from side to side in front of it, or especially up and down, it CHANGES the brightness/contrast. I dont get that from the Asus. I thought the BenQ was going to be my new main monitor but no, went back to the ASUS and just kept the BenQ as a secondary monitor for email etc. Its ok for secondary duties for the price, so not sending it back. HDR seems pointless, I get more contrast and deep blacks and colors on the old ASUS. If I turn HDR off its washed out so I do keep it on. Whatever B.I.+ is thats useless too, just makes it washed out. Have tried all the settings. From below viewing angle, its matching my ASUS prettty well but as soon as I stand up it washes out. So if it werent for the bad changes with viewing angles, it would be ok - at least as good. But yeah, not that impressed. 2 stars for being better than SCEPTRE $200 POC i got a few months ago. Just dont try to skimp on monitors if youre doing professional work. :/
