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

Ill admit, I didnt check what cables this comes with, so I didnt realize that it doesnt have the DisplayPort cable needed for an RTX-2080 video card. Cable is now on order. Received the monitor and its excellent. Very happy with this purchase!

The picture quality is superb. The audio turned out to be a big let down. I chased my tail for a week trying to get the monitors speakers to work. It turns out that you cant get there from here. The speakers will only work with a DisplayPort connection. A lot of PCs, like mine, dont have DisplayPort connectivity. And, you cant just buy an additional PC board with this connection because they dont exist. My PC has an audio-out 3.5 jack connection, but my Benq monitor DOES NOT HAVE a 3.5 audio-in! The solution is to buy some decent add-on PC speakers. Why Benq doesnt tell you about this problem up front is a mystery to me. And, I saw no mention if it in any reviews. If I had known about this issue, I probably would have bought the monitor anyway and not have wasted my time trying to get their speakers working. The documentation does mention that there can be some differences between some models, so I wonder if there is a model somewhere with an audio-in.

Well, I had been using a television as a second screen for work. That picture was not very clear. However for this monitor, the picture is crystal clear. I am really happy with it. When the machine it is attached to goes into sleep mode so to does this monitor which is good. Sound seems reasonably OK, but I havent really tested it with music. Set-up was slightly more difficult that I expected, but I think pretty much anyone can manage it with a wee bit of effort. I cant find anything to complain about, yet.

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.

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.

I bought it on sale for $349. If it still were that price, I would have given it 5 stars. Its 60 Hz refresh rate is great for media content, productivity and fine for casual gaming, but those into competitive gaming may want something with a higher refresh rate. Then again, 32 4k monitors with 144 Hz refresh rates are nearly 3X the price at this time. Mine came with USB C cable and a mini-DP to DP cable, neither of which work with my video card. If you buy a new cable, make sure that it is good quality and supports 4K. A couple of old DP cables I had used for 1080P monitors did not work properly (a short one caused flickering and a long one did not work at all), but a newer DP cable I had lying around worked perfectly.

This was a real letdown, coming from a 6 year old LG IPS panel (27EA31). Its a good size for gaming, movies and graphical work and the color performance is good right out of the box, but the nature of the VA panel and iffy uniformity just kills it for any kind of art, video or photo applications. Sitting in front of this display, even at dead-on center with a 50% grey full screen image, is like looking down a well of shadow. Oddly reminiscent of Samsung AMOLED phone screens, true black pixels never shift or suffer from off-angle issues because theres no light coming through, so if you have a color or monochrome image that has any real black, that part will remain jet-black while the rest of it shifts and lightens if you move off-center. Its a little weird -- and I assume its how they claim those amazing contrast numbers. Theyre tricking the tests. Color is accurate as long as you stay absolutely still and face the monitor with optimal angles, but if you so much as incline your head a bit in any direction the levels shift. Its almost like a TN or ancient STN display, like you got on old PDA devices where the viewing angle was different from your left eye to the right. It really is that bad. HDR is funky and changes settings, most of which you cannot adjust to taste, so it has limited practical use. Backlight uniformity is lacking, too. A grey image showed dirty screen effect and there were obvious darker bands/lines running vertically. Not sure if this is due to the coating/texture of the matte screen or what, but Ive noticed other BenQ models get dinged for this issue. If all I was ever going to do was play games and watch movies, this might be fine. The display is bright enough, despite that being a common criticism and contrast is good as long as you dont incline or move your head too much... But any time I load Photoshop or any other graphic editor the color-bleaching viewing angles and uniformity problem are dealbreakers.

PS4 and Xbox series S looks great on both console love it so far ..

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.

The 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.
