Greater than one weekThis 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.

> 3 day1) Customer Service was prompt and responded to my e-mail the next morning. (2) My screen kept going off/on for 3-5 seconds about 30+ times a day. Problem has been solved and has not happened again for over a week. I usually charge my phone very close to my monitor but needed to move the phone and charging cord to a different spot. Immediately I noticed the screen no longer went off/on at all. I am not a technical person at all, but nothing else was changed or altered (cords were checked prior). I do not know if my phone had some sort of interference or not, but if this happens to you, at least try moving your phone away from the monitor - cannot hurt to try.

> 3 day32 a great size for console gaming. I use it as both a computer and a console monitor and it isnt too big or too small for either. The VA panel type has a very small viewing window and just looking at this monitor a few inches off center made the picture look horrible. It changed the colors and added some really heavy banding in certain games. The max brightness of this monitor was too low for the colors to really pop well. Although, i had 450nit monitor from lg to compare it with. If you dont have a comparison im sure it will look great compared to no hdr. The eye-care low blue light kinda kills the color in this monitor. There are setting to modify the low blue light but even with it off its blues still looked bad. The speakers are bad, but im a gamer and always have my headset, so i just muted the monitor. The backlight bleed was there but only noticeable in complete darkness, it could get annoying if it was a very dark game. Overall, a nice monitor and the prefect size but falls short in picture quality because its a VA panel type and has low blue light. 3.5 stars. Alas, I returned it and bought LG 32Ud99-w.

> 3 dayOk, these are really high priced monitors for my simple productivity - I wanted the real estate space. So, while I stream movies, I do not game. I have two of these attached to a Dock which I use to switch between my MacBook Pro and an HP Laptop (personal and work). I have one gripe and one recommendation. I simply replaced some ASUS monitors for these and now when I switch back to my Mac, often the screens switch L-R and R-L (invert). I can reset this in settings, which I do. But it is odd that the Mac cannot identify the BenQs to know which is primary and which is extend. As for a recommendation, it would be nice to have a button for screen set up that covers all settings for a certain mode. In other words, I do Streaming and can click on both monitors and both are set exactly alike. Programming two monitors step by step on each simultaneously is a pain and fraught with uncertainty. If the inversion were not happening, I would give it 5 stars even with the high price tag.

> 3 dayThe picture quality is stunning for an IPS LCD, as well as the 3 HDMI ports, thin bezels, as well as the different implementations of HDR. Looks great for gaming as well for business. Cant go back to a regular 8 bit color LCD. Blacks are deep, whites are paper white and uniform. Although the monitor will need calibration (via your graphics driver or windows). Once complete though the color is very vivid and isnt over saturated.

> 3 dayI chose this monitor because of enclosed speakers and the position of the stand mount which was important because I wanted to attach a mini-PC to the VESA mount holes. Some monitors use the VESA holes for the stand. The display is very nice and sharp but the audio is a bit of a disappointment. I should have realized that small, rear facing speakers wouldnt be much for sound. I already had a nice, full sounding Bluetooth speaker that I now use for fuller sound when I play music or watch a video. I use this as a PC monitor and dont use the extra HDMI inputs at all. The built-in audio was a selling point but a disappointment. A cheap Bluetooth box sounds much better.

> 3 dayI bought this to use for work from home. Rather than use multiple monitors, I open and arrange multiple windows on this monitor. Its perfect for what I need. I would not recommend it for your sole source of audio. If I do decide to buy a second monitor, it will be a second one of these!

> 3 dayGreat monitor. I got this on cyber Monday and scored a deal. I use this to play my PS Pro and it looks unbelievably good. Great picture quality and the size is perfect for my set up. Good feature set as well and the HDR really shines. Sound quality could be better but I use my headphones and never have the sound on. I do wish it came with a remote but if you’re close to the monitor it doesn’t matter. Good pickup for gaming.

> 3 dayNice size display with good resolution and decent build quality, but Im returning it. We were looking to standardize on a high quality 4K monitor for use with the latest MacBook Pros and iMacs that have only USB-C / Thunderbolt 3 port for external displays. The specifications and price on this EW3270U looked good, and I called BenQ to confirm full compatibility of the USB-C with Macs . Unfortunately the monitor was a disappointment. I got past the rather confusing on-screen menu choices required to optimize the settings for our work and was immediately disappointed with the brightness of the BenQ. At maximum brightness it looks REALLY DULL & DIM when used next to the very bright, sharp retina display of any recent (2017+) 27 inch 5K iMac, especially in a well-lit room. The brightness alone would not have been enough to cause me to return the BenQ. We could have found a use for it, for example in a dimly-lit video editing bay. So I moved it to an iMac Pro... and immediately started having what appear to be USB-C related problems. Thunderbolt and USB-C HDs and SSDs that had been working just fine would now frequently fail to mount at boot time. The iMac Pro has four 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 ports with USB-C connectors supporting 10 Gbps USB 3.1 and DisplayPort 1.2. My storage devices had their own USB-C ports and the BenQ had its own port, but with the BenQ connected the reliability of the drives was degraded. Its unlikely a cable issue. USB-C cable compatibility is a disaster, however at one point I tried replacing ALL the USB-C cables with costly certified full 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 cables that should support anything needed by either the BenQ Display or the external drives. The problems persisted. I have no BenQ software installed, so thats not causing the low-level panics It got worse. Shortly after moving the BenQ to the iMac Pro the iMac had the first of many low-level panics, which dumps your work and forces a reboot. This persists at random but frequent intervals and either stops or is drastically reduced when the BenQ is disconnected. It happened at least 30 times on the iMac Pro. When I moved the BenQ and a couple of external drives back to a 2017 5k 27 iMac THAT computer started to have panic restarts, although not nearly as frequently. BenQ support was polite and seemed reasonably knowledgeable, however they had little to say, no fix and seemed rather unconcerned. Given the USB-C problems and the disappointing lack of brightness this monitor just wasnt worth keeping. Were purchasing more LG 5K Thunderbolt / USB-C monitors that work fine with iMacs (including the iMac Pro) and MacBook Pros. Theyre only 27 and cost 2x the price of the BenQ. But theyre 100% compatible with our new Macs and the LGs have screens just as sharp and bright as the latest 5K iMacs and MacBook Pros.
