BenQ GW2780 Computer Monitor 27 FHD 1920x1080p | IPS | Eye-Care Tech | Low Blue Light | Anti-Glare | Adaptive Brightness | Tilt Screen | Built-In Speakers | DisplayPort | HDMI | VGA

I am replacing my old iMac with a new PC but was very worried about finding a comparable screen for a reasonable price. I did a lot of research, read lists of budget editing screens, most of which were $300-$1000 -- still out of my current budget. Finally after reading tons of reviews on amazon I decided to try this one out and I am very pleased with this purchase! I got the 24 inch and played around with the settings a bit but really it was pretty great straight out of the box. I photograph portraits and weddings and I have a very vibrant style. Because of that I needed to make sure the color was pretty spot-on. I had used my husbands computer to edit a few times and found out the hard way that his screens color was way off and it can make peoples skin tones look sickly. So as soon as I get the monitor set up I pulled up images on both my iMac and the new BenQ screen and they looked very close! We actually noticed that my iMac whites are a little warmer so I pulled out a bunch of prints I have had made and started comparing and the BenQ seemed to be even More accurate to what my prints looked like! A lot of people complained that this screen is too bright, but I dont know if they have changed it since those reviews were written... it didnt seem too bright to me at all, I have it set to 100 brightness. Another reviewer posted settings to match the iMac display, but when I put the brightness level to 50 it was wayyy below the brightness of my iMac. So, I kept the settings pretty close to the automatic settings, I adjusted the gamma a little and a couple other things here and there. So I am very happy with this purchase, I will be sure to update if I have any issues or anything else to add!

Was able to buy these while they were on sale and they have performed beyond my expectations. I purchased two and wished I had purchased three. The room adaptive light feature works great and I very much like it. I didnt rate this for gaming because I dont use it for that but I cant imagine why it wouldnt perform equally well. I do a great deal of graphic work and though the computer these are connected to is not the computer I use do most of my graphics, I do use these monitors do quality control tests on graphics and video. As I stated in my headline, these are a great value.

The BENQ Monitor exceeds all my expectations for an ideal gaming monitor. The picture is crisp. The settings are user friendly making it easy to adjust to gaming settings. The sound is not great but it almost gets louder over time, and sounds just fine for me excluding music quality. The gaming mode setting is a really cool adjustment. The screen lets off a beautiful LED picture. The brightness adjustment setting is super great. I have sensitive eyes and can’t stare at screens for long although that’s not ever the case with that BenQ. Great purchase !

I’m not tech savvy so I can’t say much. But the monitor has a good look to it. It’s very well balanced, so I’m not worried about it falling over. I’m very happy it has a display port input, it also vga, & hdmi inputs, but I’m using the display port. It has a good sound quality too, but I using speakers just because they’re louder. I got it because it’s supposed to be easier on your eyes, I can’t say much yet because I haven’t used it much - I’ll just have to see later. I’m not using it for gaming, only school work, but honestly I think the picture quality uploads good.

I had to replace my 10 year old monitor when it finally blew up. I wanted something nice but affordable. This unit was indeed a good price at the moment I was shopping. I wanted to replace my secondary monitor as well, but wanted to try one of these before adding another. Bad decision. The first one arrived and I was instantly in love. Colors are bright, the frame is very, very thin, and the display is very crisp. Im no longer much of a gamer, so I cant comment on using one for gaming, but for all of my needs this one was perfect. The day after receiving the monitor, I came back to buy another one, but there were none to be had unless I wanted to pay double what Id paid for the first one. I was patient and waited. After a few weeks it came back at the lower price and I snagged a second one. An hour after I ordered my second one, they were out of stock at the low price again. Im not sure I would pay the regular retail price for this monitor, but then again Im frugal. For a monitor in my price range this was far beyond the quality that I expected. Ultimately I added an inexpensive dual monitor arm and Ive never been so pleased with a setup in my life. Ive had the first monitor about a month, so I cant yet speak to its long-term performance, but the initial impression is that these are the nicest monitors Ive ever used.

Get these regularly for our office, and 2 of these so far had the foam inside busted, a used HDMI cord with white.. paint? All over the cord. All the plastic baggies were just stuffed in the box, when normally each cord/manual has its own baggie. Dont know if these were returned and they re used them or something but was kinda iffy about using them. Luckily they still work as of now though....

I have known this Taiwanese brand for years and owned their accessories before from CD-Rs to their card media readers and the brand grew into me as trusted and dependable. The screen quality itself is superb for an IPS panel. The contrast ratio may not seem like the ones you see on Korean brands of the same type of display but the colors are bright and are faithfully reproduced if you can manually tweak the display settings bypassing their Eye care tech. The only thing that keeps me from giving this product 5 stars is the price for the refresh rate it has. We now have plenty of same-sized panels from MSI and even Asus with the same display for slightly above the price with higher refresh rates as of this review. Also, their built-in speakers are weak and you will have to provide your own. You cant increase the volume past a certain limit even if you plugged in your own speakers.

There is a discernible horizontal line cutting through the middle of my screen that shows through all applications, under it both side edges have a white halo effect coming in about half an inch and fading gracefully into what is a noticeably slightly lighter bottom half of my screen. Dont believe the hype on these. I have a second (same model) one that has other issues I wont rant about here. Best of luck, I would go with another brand. never had any other brand blow out so quickly in my many many monitors over my years.

This is the 4th 27 BenQ monitor I have ordered. I purchased two for my subordinates at an old job and 2 for myself in my new work-from-home position. They have proven to be reliable monitors though I THOUGHT I was going to have problems with this last one as it didnt power-up initially. However, it did and has continued to work seamlessly as the others have. The price is great for a large hunk of screen real estate. This monitor has great sound even without external speakers. It has both HDMI and VGA inputs to suit your needs. No USB input for an external USB camera but your computer should suffice. All in all, I would definitely buy a BenQ again, a name not many know but is a great buy for sure!

It was a great product up until recently. It’s been about 2 years and 8 months since I ordered two of these. Last month, the first one completely died. Plugged in with multiple cables, wouldn’t even turn on. Now the button appears to be stuck on the second one, meaning the menu is ALWAYS being scrolled through. I’ve tried closing it, cleaning around the button being pressed, pressing it from multiple angles to see if it was stuck. I’ve had cheaper monitors that lasted for triple the time I’ve had these. Support was useless when I contacted them and never responded to any of my emails. Embarrassing for a company like BENQ to still have these problems.
