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

As a value monitor, I think its $20 more expensive than it should be. That said, its still not too expensive for a solid monitor that will hopefully last a long time and perform basic functions with predictable efficiency. Good response time, although I dont use this for gaming. I still think a good response time is needed for anything else you might want to do. As for the speakers, they are abysmal. Even on their loudest setting, its not much more than a faint, tinny echo. Do not come into this monitor hoping for an all-in-one experience when it comes to sound. If you intend for this to replace actual speakers, youll be disappointed.

Great picture. Was actually purchased to put into my portable gaming system. Perfect.

As a software with hardware integrator the BENQ 2480 monitor works well and looks great with the hi res graphics in our products,

I basically bought this because of Evans review. I also have a background in photography so hearing him say how decent it was spurred me to purchase it. My last monitor was some cheapo Best Buy garbage just so I could have a monitor. This naturally is leagues ahead. When looking at the photos I did in University using an iMac and comparing them to this monitor and my prints, I do feel like the vibrance is a just a tad too high, but its default settings are quite similar to what I used to use back then. The menu buttons blow my mind because it actually tells you what they do instead of the BB monitor where pressing them was a guessing game on how to navigate. Certain features seem to be locked an unavailable for adjustments, so I cant reduce the vibrancy on the monitor for whatever reason. My biggest complaint is the idea that I had to spend an extra $50 for a taller monitor because Im taller than most people, that just feels crappy. Also the Amazon community said you can adjust the height of the stand? But Im not seeing any clue on how and the manual doesnt explain this either. I just need it like, 2 inches shorter. Otherwise, I love and enjoy the monitor but the extra $50 left a sour taste in my mouth.

Just replaced my old monitor and this new one works great ! so far... hopefully will last me a long time.

Day 1. I will update the review as testing going. As you can see I installed these two guys on the dual monitor mount ( WALI Premium Dual LCD Monitor Desk Mount) and they sit pretty well. I am using them with MacBook Pro 2016 as extended monitors with two separate HDMI adapters for each monitor (each adapter is like $13). Otherwise, you CANT do extended dual screens on mac OS UNLESS you use pretty expensive hubs like CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 Dock ( I did pretty deep research on these things ). The brightness could be a little better but its fine for this price. The sensor on the bottom of the screen is a cool feature, pretty much the same as on all smartphones but with the ability to turn off/on/adjust the sensitivity, my kudo for this feature goes to BenQ. The picture in general pretty decent but not the perfect, again price. I got them for work and because I always promise myself to read all those articles Ive opened back in 2010. So now I can open all of them. So far the only problem I encounter is in my mount but not the screens. As you can notice in the last picture the gap between screens is hard to eliminate perfectly.

Im not a gamer, I bought it because I watch most things on my laptop and wanted a bigger screen. Really enjoying it!

I use this monitor to connect it to my work laptop through an HDMI cable, so I dont have to stare at a 13 laptop screen all day when working from home. The image on the BenQ monitor is not sharp. I can still read and I love the size (I can put 2 documents next to each other on the screen) but its just not as sharp as would be on my work laptop. Also as of a couple of days, the monitor goes to sleep when I shut the laptop closed, where is in the first week it would keep running which was great as I dont need my laptop open anymore when using the BenQ monitor, and it also preserved my laptop battery. Now BenQ just goes to sleep and I cannot wake it up so I can only work when laptop stays open. I didnt do any changes to the monitor settings so not sure what this is about.

I purchased this to use with my ps4. This is a 75 HZ monitor and the cap for PS4 is 60 so why not. It was very easy to put together.( 100% tool less) it does have speakers and honestly for a monitor under $200 i was surprised. I wouldnt recommend FPS on the speakers but it has better sound then my $400 pc monitor so thats a plus. The picture quality was great right out of the box. Normally you have to tweak the settings right out of the box but it looks great as is. I would recommend and purchase this again for console gaming. For PC gaming you are better off with a 144HZ panel. As always IPS screen looks amazing.

I have been using two of these at the office for about 6 months now and they work great for me. I dont do graphics work so I cant comment on color accuracy, but for standard office work they are great. I would order these again if I had need. Note: Although the bezel around the edges is thin (maybe 1/16?), the actual usable area of the monitor is NOT all the way out to the edges of the plastic bezel. The usable screen area starts about 1/4 in from the outside edges (top & sides). Its not a big problem for me, but I didnt realize this when I ordered it.
