Greater than one weekThis monitor is really bright, And it is worth mentioning that Its bezels are so much smaller than I thought they would be. If you are looking for a sleek daily driver monitor this is the one. Its worthy to note that the eye care features work but I usually turn them off. One minor thing that I really liked was the ease of cable management at the back. This monitor Is huge too, It is such a ease to my eyes to not have to strain my eyes on a small screen. My only disappointment with this monitor was the light that bleeds, Giving a gross yellow color on the sides of the screens while it displays black

> 3 daySo I had a ViewSonic Monitor before that running 60hz and similar dimensions but the LED had apparently been broken. I wanted a new monitor and then I came across this one. Its nice and has a clean feel to it. Games still work and are smooth at 60hz but I never really had experiences with 75hz +. So 60hz is what Im use to and comfortable with. Anything lower than 60hz would not be consider good for gaming. Set up was very simple took me less than 5 minutes I didnt even need the setup guide to figure it out. Brightness is average I recommend turning up the brightness and contrast if you like well lit screens. Overall its a nice monitor if your looking for a replacement or looking to buy a brand new one.

> 3 dayWhile not a high end monitor it is an exceptional buy for the money. Perfect for those who want the convenience of using a laptop that doubles as a desktop. This monitor allows you to to view your laptop desktop and is very sharp and easy to use. In addition the monitor has speakers which also is a plus. An excellent buy for the money and easy to hook up and use. This is the second one we have purchased. My husband liked my laptop/monitor setup that he asked for one for his birthday. I would recommend this product whole-heartedly

> 3 dayI am very impressed with this company. The monitor is immaculate. The shipping materials are A+. Monitor arrived 4 days earlier than expected. The monitor is great so far. I researched and bought it for its adaptive brightness controls and advertised anti-eye fatigue technology. Image is very clear and I like the stand. So far I am happy with this purchase.

> 3 dayPros: - 3 inputs: VGA, HDMI, DP - has speakers - Ambient light sensor - VESA 100 - Narrow bezel - Stand with cable management - Bright IPS and nice colors - Good OSD with DDC/CI (this is when you can adjust settings via software, in addition to the monitor buttons) Cons: - Only 60 Hz - Matte finish, not glossy (just my personal taste, although some people might find this a plus) Generally good feature set compared to similarly priced models. Honestly I had in mind other monitors but they were either out of stock or had issues with the connector locations when mounting to VESA 75 (meaning the mount plate on my VESA 100/75 dual monitor stand would block the connectors on a VESA 75 monitor, specifically the Philips 246E9QDSB). In any case, I settled for this one and cant complain. Im sure you can find others at this price range just as good or perhaps trading off features such as 75 Hz but only with two inputs for example. Or maybe no IPS or not VESA compatible. I use this for basic desktop applications, work, etc. Not a gaming monitor, although if you are not a hardcore gamer you may get away with this. If you have an nVidia card you can set the RGB dynamic range from 16-235 to 0-255. This means that youll use the full color gamut the monitor can handle and get (marginally) better contrast and more colors. Not a massive noticeable improvement, but its there. Image is pretty good and even (not much backlight bleed). The monitor is 60 Hz out of the box but I overclocked it to 75 Hz using the nVidia control panel. You can verify your refresh rate. I searched online for hz checker and used www.testufo.com. I confirmed the before and after refresh and it works fine. Do it at your own risk as I dont know anything about overclocking monitor refresh rate. The last thing Im gonna say is not necessarily specific to this monitor, but it grinds my gears that its so hard to find a gloss finish monitor this days. Most are matte finish. I personally prefer gloss because the colors tend to be more vivid. Reflections dont bother me as much as the washed out color effect you get on a matte monitor.

> 3 dayBack in 1982 I got my first computer (and monitor), and IMB Displaywriter dedicated word processor. Ive used a lot of monitors since then, and this one is the best ever. Period. I wanted an IPS monitor that I could adjust lower - almost touching the desktop - so I wouldnt have to look upward to see the screen. The stand on this monitor goes low. All the specs are great. I hadnt even though abut their eye care technology. My old LG monitor had some kind of blue-light reading mode that wasnt any good at all, at least not for me. This BenQ monitor has 4 different view modes, so I tried them out. The Reading mode lowers the brightness the most so I decided to use it. Wow! What a difference. With the other monitor, I was having to stop and rest my 80 year old eyes (only one eye still works) after about 15 minutes. Now I can go an hour - yes... 60 minutes - before I have to stop and rest. This stuff really works! When I need to do some image editing, or work on a video, I switch to the Multimedia mode - the brightest and most accurate colors - and when I am done, back to the Reading mode again. Whats really impressive is that this isnt even their top of the line monitor! I bought it for the stand, so I could lower the monitor. Shh... dont tell them, but... after using this monitor daily for more than 3 months, Id pay twice as much for it. If you have eye fatigue, like I do, this monitor might be what you need.

> 3 dayUsing this as a wall-mounted vertical (portrait) display monitor, HDMI input, showing a slideshow at a business, near the business entrances. It worked right out of the box. The wide 178/178-degree viewing angle was the selling point. Not using DisplayPort, so I dont see any of the DIsplayPort issues mentioned by others. Walking past the monitor horizontally, the brightness is not totally continuous, but its very good - just fine for my clients purposes. Ive had several unsolicited positive comments on the increased viewing angle since replacing the old monitor. So far, no quality issues. A big plus (typical these days) is that if the power fails while the monitor is on, it powers back up by itself. BTW using the Gofanco HDMI -> twisted-pair dual-monitor extender (plus HDMI pass-through, so Im really feeding 3 monitors), also purchased from Amazon, with shielded CAT6 cable, and that is working flawlessly. FYI, resolution of the Gofanco device is limited to 1024, which is not an issue with me.
