Good!

Daily usage, hasnt worn out. Came in a nice box. One of the inserts is wobbly, I am fairly sure its on my desktop towers slot but then its got no signal detected until I jiggle it into place. Fairly frequent, Im getting my tower repaired soon.

Ive been pleasantly surprised with this Monitor. I mostly got this work on video editing, and Ive noticed that I dont have as intense headaches that I usually get from staring at a monitor all day. Ive seen prices jump on these from $120 to $200. Dont pay over the $120 price. I did order a second one because I do like the colors and it has helped with my migraines. For those of you looking for a gaming monitor, youll want to skip this one. It wasnt designed for it. I do some gaming on it, but only just for fun. 60Hz refresh rate and I tried to overclock the monitor and it cant be done. So youre not going to get over 60 fps on the monitor. There is also a 5ms delay. Again fine for everything else, but if you looking for a 1ms gaming monitor this isnt for you.

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.

11-3-2020 --I had email and phone conversation with BenQ Customer support. None of their recommendations fixed the issue, which is that the screen goes black for 2 seconds 20X -40X a day. This monitor is used for Work, so in addition to being irritating, the situation is also disruptive, as I work from home like so many today, and in front of my monitor from 8am to 6pm. After none of the recommendations worked, they asked me to ship back the monitor in the original box - yeah, like i kept that box. I have NEVER in 20 years had this issue with a monitor. So the next option required, pack monitor up in a box so that no damage occurs during shipping, otherwise you are responsible for damage. They did send RMA slip. I suggested that they ship me a new replacement monitor (same model) and I would then ship back the current dysfunctional unit in that monitor packing box as an exchange. The ONLY option is to be without a monitor for who-knows-how-long and ship back to BenQ. I need a monitor of some type to do my job, so it is challenging to ship this unit back, and wait indefinitely for another monitor. (no timeline was given for how long to determine issue, etc) . If you choose to buy BenQ and do not get a lemon, you are in good shape. But if you do get a lemon, the customer service options are TERRIBLE. For now, I am going to make-do until I can afford to buy another monitor from a different company than #BenQ *** If I could give a negative star rating, I would. Since my review, the issue is getting worse. I work from home, and on my monitor 8 hours a day. The monitor goes blank 5X an hour. 40X a day. I have checked every connection, changed the setup, etc. I bought this expensive monitor to replace an $80 17in that I had for 5 years, and never a problem. UNBELIEVABLY FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!! For some reason, the screen goes black for about 1-2 seconds about constantly. Suggestions are to check for loose connections. That is not the issue but the only explanation or fixes given for constant screen issues. Very annoying since I use this monitor for work, and during a presentation the black screen is incredible disruptive. I have never had other cheaper monitors to hav this issue. I cannot recommend BenQ.

Ive had this monitor for about two years now and its perfect. I have a smaller desk and it fits rather nicely. The display is smooth. This product is marketed perfectly, it does everything it claims. Definitely worth the price. :)

Video quality is top notch. I use for both work and video games and the quality is very good for both. There is zero glare from sunlight. They’ve earned a loyal customer.

I purchased this as a second monitor and decided to go a little bigger and this was a great price to size choice for me. The colors dont feel as good to me as my other monitor, but it delivers in its size, decently thin bezel, and the speakers are a nice addition too. (The speakers arent the greatest, but they certainly do the job of saving you a few bucks)

I recently started wanting a true PC setup for my streams. I had one of these monitors from a different website and loved it so much that I decided to buy a second to add a second monitor to my setup. The monitor came fast and was handled well. The packaging was well protecting the screen. The screen is so clean and clear. I have no issues with getting it to work with my setup via display port or HDMI. If you’re looking for something to just browse the internet with or to do gaming this is the perfect screen. The size is perfect for me. Would highly reccomend

I needed a new monitor, but nothing game-worthy, just something to use to read and write with without going blind. This monitor has lots of good eye-strain prevention qualities that are good for my 70-year-old eyes. Its also very well-built for an inexpensive 27 monitor. I connected it to my 2019 MacBook Pro with a Warrky USB-C to DisplayPort cable, and everything worked except the sound through the speakers on the monitor. I struggled with that for a while, and gave up, because I really didnt care that much about the sound, turned off my computer and monitor and went to bed. Today, when I turned on the computer and monitor, the sound worked. I guess the trick is to reboot if you dont get the sound to work at first. Knowing that would have saved me a lot of time. Anyway, I consider this a really great buy and just what I needed. Except for the initial sound issue, the process went very smoothly. Sleeping on it really helped!
