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

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.

A monitor with great color accuracy, brightness, sharpness, and a lot of customization features, plus a UI that isnt a nightmare to navigate. You wont find better without paying a whole lot more.

This is what Id call just an okay VA panel. It looks pretty good on axis at a distance but the viewing angle is not good enough at regular seated desk distances. Even straight on, youll see some color shift in the corners of the display. I find this very distracting in any darker content, games, photo editing, dark themed text editors, etc. Its far from the worst VA panel in this regard but I have also seen better. In testing this, I found the color depth reported in the EDID table is 8-bit, which is rather disappointing for a 10-bit panel. Its not clear if this is actually a 10-bit VA panel or 8-bit with FRC, but if your input device only connects with 8-bit you cant take advantage of either. When I did override the EDID, I was able to get a 10-bit input displayed but I imagine most users of this monitor are simply using it in 8-bit mode. The stand is bad but also easy to replace. The monitor itself is pretty well built so just plan to replace the stand if you need any flexibility and things should work fine. If you are mostly using this at TV distances, Id recommend it for use in darker rooms due to the low peak brightness. Its got very good color range and contrast if you are far enough away to stay in the viewing angle sweet spot. 10-bit color isnt needed for most uses. HDR is pretty useless here but it does technically work if you override the EDID color depth and dont expect accurate brightness representation (no LCD can do this without full array local dimming and this monitor is uniformly backlit).

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.

Visual quality is great. Works with my PS5 very well. No ghosting, input latency is very low. HDR could be brighter but it’s a good monitor for the price. Pretty big size, make sure you have space on your desk.

Great monitor , use daily , great for everyday use

El monitor tiene muy buena calidad de imagen para editar fotos,videos y ver películas o series y tiene un buen lHDR lo único que no lo recomendaría utilizarlo para juegos pero para lo demás es excelente

For the price, this monitor is a pleasant surprise. Few other monitors in this bracket can boast the same colour accuracy (there are many Youtube reviews where accurate colour measurements are provided in detail) or entry-level HDR10. At this price, one cannot expect high-level HDR, but the brightness remains a surprise delight, (300 nits as opposed to 100 for regular monitors) to make it a worthy contender in the gaming, as well as design environments. The HDR and 10-bit colour depth require some initial setting up work, partly because it is relatively new tech. With some software, for example, you will need to experiment with the monitor UI settings to find a sweet spot. In terms of games, The Division 2 and Sekiro both automatically picks up the HDR capability and applies it in-game, with remarkable results at 4K clarity. In one review the specs were related as being on a par with a Retina display and you can see why. It is important to ensure the latest HDMI (2.0) 18 Gbps high speed and DisplayPort (1.4) cabling is used, some of which are included depending on region. Even though it is a FreeSync monitor, an Nvidia card will happily run on it, albeit without the sync benefit. On the down side: the stated viewing angles are accurate, but to get the best colour representation it is best to face the monitor directly. Shifting around shows up some unwanted colour shifts, which you would likely not find in an IPS panel, but at a substantially higher price. Other than that, a fantastic buy. The 4ms response time balances well with the 60 Hz refresh rate, making this monitor ideal for work and play, especially if your budget does not stretch to professional designer products yet.

The right price, the quality is very good, and the speakers are also very good. I usually use it to play switch.
