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

Theres a glut of cheap 4k monitors, and quite frankly so far they havent been very impressive. I picked this up for $450 on a cyber monday deal and after plenty of delays it finally arrived. Simply put, next to my LG panel IPS 27 1440p display and my ancient but sturdy Dell Ultrasharp 2405FPW, its the weakest display. The resolution is fantastic. The size is great. The feature set is solid with multiple ports (I only need one but whatever) and USB 3.1c hub (sans some of the more extreme features like a SD card slot). FRC is nice, although it only supports 40hz-60hz meaning not an extreme range but still welcome. That said: Stick this next to a 27 inch iMac from yesteryear it looks cheap and its entirely due to the lack of uniformity on the panel. First theres the very striking shadow across the top 1/8inch of the screen. Then theres the color shift, no matter where you head is, just scanning across a uniform color shows the weakness of the panel as flat color looks anything but flat. Fast scrolls also reveal the overzealous low latency correction (you can see bizarre ghosting of red on a white background as a yellow halo). Also strangely, Mac OS doesnt seem to want to detect the scaling resolutions, (not a big deal as you can option click the scaled resolutions). Precision color this is not. If youre not a discerning type, this probably is a good enough for many users although I find the color shift supremely annoying. Basically, if youre happy with this display, never stick it next to a quality display as youll become very unhappy with it. Also I couldnt seem to get in Windows 10-bit to work at 60 Hz, which makes me believe that its only available at 30 Hz. In any case, its not true 10 bit as its an 8-bit panel with FRC, meaning, it accepts the 10-bit color space and simulates colors by switching between nearest-neighbors in the 8 bit range between each cycle. Over all, though the monitor is much easier to assemble/disassemble which will make my return quick and easy than other displays. I guess you get what you pay for, the BenQ PD3200u even at $200 more than the EW3270Us current price seems like money supremely well spent. Its IPS or bust at the 32 inch size as its too easy to see the color shifting.... /edit: looks like someone didn’t like this review and it was flagged for sensitivity?

The picture quality is overall ok, the main issue is that I have to completely unplug (not just restart) the monitor for it to connect to my macbook pro m1 computer. Makes it not very convenient to use, since I cant just connect computer to monitor for it to function.

This review is for the 27 inch 1080p HDR model. Overall I like this monitor. However, there is bleeding/clouding in the bottom left corner that is distracting on dark screens. I use this with my Roku and as long as I am watching a show/movie that isnt too dark then I dont notice this defect. At this price range I am not too disappointed. A USB port would have been a nice addition.

I bought this for a family member. They will not be gaming on it so I cant really give a review on that aspect of it but for consuming media and business its great. The speakers on it arent bad. They sound much better than my Asus monitors that cost 3 times as much.

love it

Let me start off with saying that I only use this monitor for working from home. I am a software engineer and there were 3 things that I was looking for in my monitor - 1. Text Sharpness - Text sharpness was one of the biggest reason I went with 4k resolution. With 4k resolution at 32, the pixel density (ppi) comes at 139 which is enough to not make this monitor inferior to the macBook display (ppi=227) when it comes to text sharpness. I had a 27 1440p monitor (ppi=109) before and I always hated the fuzzy text it produced. 2. Good contrast, especially with black background - Because of VA panel this has a very good contrast that helps with black backgrounds. On top of that, HDR mode (even though its not a true HDR) enhances the contrast and the colorful texts in intelliJ (Dracula theme with full black background) and Terminal look gorgeous. 3. More real state (especially height) - I feel either 27 or ultrawide 34 monitors have slightly less height than my liking. 32 nails it. Ultrawide 38 will do as well, but I am yet to see a good value 4k ultrawide 38. The auto brightness adjustment seems to work well so far and proved to be a bonus, that I quite like. No need to adjust the brightness manually anymore. This monitor is also flicker free which is supposed to be good for my eyes, but I am not sure I will be able to tell the difference from my previous monitor. No observable light bleed, no significant color fading and given that I only use it for work I did not bother the not so great viewing angles that VA panels usually have and some other reviewers have complained about. Out of the box settings for this monitor is great and I do not think I had to change too many settings. I did have to scale this display in the macBook System Preferences -> Display settings in favor of the larger texts because with 4k resolution your texts would look too small and given that my monitor is at least 2 ft from my eyes I had to select a Less Space & Larger Text option - https://www.macobserver.com/tips/how-to/4k-monitor-retina-mode/ Only downside for me is not so adjustable stand that comes with it but it does have VESA mount that you can make use of if you really want it to be adjustable. For me the height of this monitor was low and I remedied this by putting couple of books underneath it. Overall a very good 4k 32 monitor and I am quite happy with my purchase.

Very good 32 inch monitor. Definitely not an IPS, but I also didn’t spend $1000.00 for it either. It does what I wanted to do. Web surfing, movie watchingand a little game playing. Please notice I didn’t say anything about graphics design. It’s a good monitor.

Screen sprouted lines and interference just six weeks after I got this. Kept doing it no matter what computer it was hooked up to and nothing I tried (including consulting with my local computer expert) worked. So now I have a large broken monitor and I cant use my new computer.
