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

the experience buying this monitor was really bad, I bought it and the carrier lost the monitor and they delivered me something totally different, the second time they sent it it arrived relatively fast but the audio was not working, one HDMI port works weird, however the image quality is very good.

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.

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.

I use this monitor strictly for gaming, response time is amazing but I feel like is not as clean or neat as I expected it to be. Definitely worth it under $350

What you are seeing is a EW2780-L 27 monitor after 6 months of use which had the back of a plastic coffee cup hit the corner (accidentally). Lets define accidentally, my 4 year old daughter has thrown hard plastic toys with more force, stepped on a Lenovo E485 laptop screen when it was layed flat and so much more with little to no damage. The force on against this screen was as much as you flicking the screen by pulling back your middle finger with your thumb and releasing it! To say that Im disappointed would be an understatement -- they just dont build them like they use to. I submitted a support ticket to BenQ and got a response back in less than 1 hr .... We appreciate you reaching out to us. We regret to inform you that our warranty does not cover any type of physical damage done to a display. Additionally, a repair would not be in your best interest as the cost of parts and labor will exceed the cost of one of our refurbished models. So as you can see, the support service isnt bad but just unfortunate that these monitors are made so cheaply nowadays. This specific monitor was built in Sept 2020 and I recommend looking elsewhere for comparably priced monitors!

Nice monitor, not used it for gaming. use mostly for watching videos, internet and displaying images which all seem to be good with, like the fact has 3 HDMI Inputs and has audio out and build in speakers. I use it more of a entertainment monitor, have a PC, Roku and DVD Player hooked up. No complaints.

Ok, 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.

With every spec I was looking for a relatively good price, and mostly excellent reviews on Amazon, I had high hopes for this display. However, lousy viewing angles brought me down to earth quickly. Advertised as 178 degree viewing angle, I was surprised to find a gleaming glow washed out blacks when not viewed straight-on. The 3000:1 contrast promised exceptional black levels, but unfortunately it sure didn’t look that way from my eyes. With such a big screen. The sides of the display are at a significant angle from my eyes looking straight on from normal desk viewing distance. Furthermore, if I got up from my chair the screen looked blown out from a slight vertical angle. Basically the whole image looked gleamy and weird, blacks looking silvery at modest angles, and the whites tending to look blown out. Playing full screen video looked pretty good, as did playing a game on PS4. But for my primary purpose, using it as a monitor for my Mac mini, the interface - windows and menus, looked bad to me. The dark mode windows suffered from the gleamy VA angles. Being spoiled by a lot of pristine images from an iMac at work, or iPad, where images look nearly printed on the glass, the BenQ just looked wrong, lacking a solid looking image. After much adjusting and getting used to the angles, it looked decent, but not satisfying, certainly not breathtaking. I saw a sale price on an LG 32MU99 ips panel, which had everything I was looking for, but lacking true 10 bit color and a lower 1200:1 contrast ratio, and $150 higher price. I got it, and the moment I switched I was exhilarated by the improvement. My Mac felt like a Mac again, with a solid, stable, true image that looked the same from side to side and up and down. I wasn’t trying to like it and reminding myself of the excellent specs, it just looked spectacular out of the box, and while not up to a 5k iMac display, pretty darn close. And the slimmer bezels and design look a lot better in room than the industrial, if non-offensive matte black plastic of the BenQ, which looked bulky and harsh. So back goes the BenQ. I don’t argue with the many excellent reviews, again when playing full screen video it looked great coming from 1080p. But I’m glad I upped my price limit and got the LG instead. IPS looks so much better to my eyes.

I got 3 of these over a month or 2 about 6 months ago. Im perfectly happy. The size and resolution are good for my purposes. Price seems reasonable for what they are. I dont need 4K, so these work fine. I like to pop financial charts to full screen and back down. I tried 32 inch at this resolution, but that was too big.

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.
