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

Works well with iPad Air. BUT there is no manual other than set up instructions!

I am very satisfy with this monitor. Picture quality is good. Sound quality also satisfying. Price is also good.

Like: If you are on a budget this is a really good monitor. I usually play games on my Dell G3 Laptop and I wanted a monitor with a big screen. Well, I found this monitor while its on sale. Finally received it and it was quick when it comes to shipping. The packaging was very clean. It was very easy to setup and you do not need any tools to set this up. The video looks great. I would have bought one with 144hz 1ms for gaming, but I’m on a budget. I would go all out if I was more into first person shooting games, but it does it’s job. I’m going to purchase another one. I also love how BenQ provided the hdmi cable. That’s a plus in my books since I don’t need to purchase one. Other than that I have no issues with it. Works great with my eyes since it uses that special feature to turn off the blue light. Great for long lasting gaming without stressing my eyes since I play World of Warcraft Classic. Also love how thin the boarders are. Dislike: The speaker on the monitor are way too low. Thats expected on any monitor in my books. That’s the only thing I dislike about this monitor. Other than that I’m still giving this monitor a 5 stars since I’m just using this as a monitor. If I wanted great sound then I would rather buy external speakers. I’m more in it for the picture. Check out the photos I posted and hope this helps.

Just recently stopped working after 3 years, but before that was a good quality for the price. I like the cable management on the back and the bevel style.

Great purchase, I like the easy way to access and control light and resolution etc. My eyes are no longer strained after working long hours on my computer

This monitor is great, and its great as a secondary monitor. It doesnt look bad next to an expensive screen. If youre looking for an additional screen under 27 good luck. Retailers are full of 22-24 1080p monitors which look the same as the ones that came with an HP/Dell desktop in 2007. Most have huge bezels. Most have a single HDMI plug. Most have a power brick. And many of them dont even have HDCP so you cant watch Netflix on them. This monitor has a 100 mm VESA bolt pattern so you can put it on any arm. It takes a regular power plug — no power brick. It has HDCP. Its a good IPS panel. Black looks dark. Theres slightly less light bleed than my more expensive LG screens. It has slightly smaller bezels than my other screens. And it has two HDMI inputs, so its easy for me to use as an additional monitor for both my home machine and work laptop. The menus are easy to use and you can even setup shortcuts to put your three most-used adjustments on the first menu level. The speakers are worse than most — which is quite the feat when you think of how bad built-in monitor speakers are — but I dont care about that. The only slight annoyance I have is that you cant dim the light on the power button. But its on the bottom edge of the screen, so its easy to put a little piece of black tape over it. Of course that partially blocks those awesome speakers LOL. This monitor is a 21.5 1920x1080 panel, so thats 102.5 dpi/ppi (pixels per inch). The bigger you go the worse itll look next to a monitor with higher resolution. My other two monitors are a 38 3840x1600 LG ultrawide (109.5 dpi) and a 25 2560x1080 LG ultrawide (111.1 dpi). 21.5 BenQ GW2283 — sqrt(1920^2 + 1080^2) / 21.5 = 102.5 dpi 25 LG 25UM58 — sqrt(2560^2 + 1080^2) / 25 = 111.1 dpi 38 LG 38WN75C — sqrt(3840^2 + 1600^2) / 38 = 109.5 dpi The 25 LG 25UM58 is also a good deal. It currently costs 50% more than the BenQ for 33% more resolution. Its 75 hz, but I think the BenQ might actually have a better response time if youre gaming on it. And the 25 LG has a 75 mm VESA bolt pattern and a power brick.

I was looking for a new computer screen, and I had bought one recently, but it was burning my eyes with just a few minutes of use. I have a vision condition already, so I needed a screen that minimized discomfort as much as possible. I only just bought this BenQ screen and started using it only recently, but right away I notice it is A LOT easier on the eyes. I imagine it will be a lot easier over time compared to the other screen I had, and possibly many other screens out there. All in all, very happy so far with my purchase. Great price for the screen size, and great for comfortability on the eyes. Thank you BenQ!

Its a good budget monitor, and I I dont have an issue with the reactive brightness. I can play with overhead lights and then completely in the dark and I never have to change the brightness. Its also not a drastic change thats immediately noticable, its a comfortable transition that doesnt bug my eyes or make me strain to see (and I have poor eyesight lol). Its also very sturdy and heavily built which makes it feel more expensive than it is. Ive played a multitude of games (valheim, skyrim, wow, rust, fallout etc) and they all look great running high graphics. I dont notice delays, shadows, or any other malfunctions and colors/textures seem true. The only complaint I have is that the screen came with a burned pixel which sucks. I decided not to send it back as its on the top left and I dont see it while Im playing games, but when I edit photos I can really see it and it gets annoying. Overall though, good monitor and Im happy with the purchase.

When I compare this screen to my old one, there is hardly a comparison because this one is so much better. It is bright and colors just jump. My old eyes appreciate the improvement. My only complaint is the touchy electrical connection. If I bump it in the slightest, off it goes. It has to be just so or youve got nothing. Also, there is a little plastic cover over the shaft where the electrical cord goes. It is useless and fall behind the desk at the first opportunity. Other than those two small things, I love it.

This Monitor is very good. But I would not pay way more than the 90$ I gave on black friday. Meanwhile there are several Monitors with Low Blue light adjuster and flicker free as well as brightness sensor. This Monitor has at least all 3 items although I have seen an Phillips Monitor for a Little more Money with These Features as well which has on top an colour gammut of 108% NTSC and has 75 Hertz refresh rate. I would probably take by now the Phillips as it is at 106$ by now - same Screen size and Display. But Overall this is an awesome Monitor. It is rated for 30000 hours backlight LED endurance and power on for MTBF of 60000 hours. My SSD has now over 10000 hs and is already a couple of years old (91% wear Level), so expect the Monitor to last about the same as an SSD with normal use. Colour gammut is 72% NTSC and is good enough for all Tasks. It came with an HDMI cable included. Stand is sturdy since it has metal underneath the plastic. I have the blue light filter on 50% (webbrowsing they call it) which reduces brigthness greatly (to which I am a bit sensitive as it seems). Auto brightness sensor is built in which does work (shining on the sensor with an flashlight increases the Screen glow and reducing it afterwards with lights switched off). Has DP and HDMI ports. Speakers are so so but work. On an Monitor like this Speakers are not really needed since I have an 2.1 T&V Speaker System. Built in Speakers are really important only in tablets where they have to be excellent and loud enough since one is not going to toss around a real estate of attached Speakers. On Desktop Setups built in Speakers are not important. 250 nits brightness is way enough for decent movie, Surfing and gaming experience. The 23.8 size is perfect for Desktop use (I come from an 17.3 Laptop Screen) and the IPS Panel makes the huge difference in eye care as well. The IPS Panel is the single biggest eye saver Technology of the last years which avoids the eyes to constantly find the sweet spot on an traditional non IPS Display as my Laptop Screen was. I coupled this Monitor to my older Laptop which is an wonderfull Setup - why throw away an 8 year old Laptop (Intel quad core, 8 GB RAM, SSD) when it still works perfectly and the Hardware is somewhat up to date still? For Youtube, movies, etc upgrade your old machines with an SSD and they will run for a decade more or so (avoiding electrowaste. No Need for the latest and greatest). I find myself being in front of this Monitor more without glasses which never would happened before with the traditional non IPS Laptop 17.3 Screen. Great Monitor but watch out for a step higher when the Price is minimal more. With 23.8 that is the Maximum to go with FHD (1920 x 1200) since at 24 Screens you are looking already for an 4K Monitor since the Pixels of this Monitor is only at 93 PPI while my Amazon Fire tablet has an PPI of 182 IPS Display. So an 27 Monitor should have an 4K Screen while with this Monitor you get away still with 1080p. Close up I can see with the naked eye (without glasses) the individual Pixels. But yeah, for the Price you can buy just a new one if it Fails at 60000 hours (MTBF as per specs. An SSD should have an Main Time Before Failure rate of about 2 Million hours for comparison). Set up was easy basically PnP (plug and play). Adjustment Buttons on Screen are fine. I like the power on light as it glows a whitish glow. I hope this Monitor lasts me Long as we will see the durability. Plastic parts of the Monitor are of high Quality and seem not cheapish and fit and finish is excellent. Awesome thin bezel. Darks could be darker but thats an inherent characteristic of the IPS Technology. No light bleeding or back glowing on edges or stuff but the blacks could be a bit darker. Otherwise an huge improvement from the Laptop Screen I come from. Bigger Screen and you will probably not see the edges since I sit about 30 cm away from the Monitor. Watching movies I get at least 40 cm to 100 cm distance. If the durability holds up I recommend this Monitor. I bought it because it is supposed TUV Rheinland approved and tested for flicker free and Low Blue light. Whatch out for newer models, better features and other brands for similar Price range. But you will be happy with this Monitor even for light gaming. Buy a cheapish Laptop if you cant afford anything else (or upgrade an existent one) like an cheap Dell Inspiron 11 (use the Laptop as PC), connect it to this big Monitor with mouse an keyboard, throw in a decent Sound System and you have a full Desktop replacement set up which serves as full home Theater and Entertainment System as well as gaming rig (depending on the Laptop Hardware). If one part Fails, Switch it for another part and no Need to throw the whole Thing away. I recommend this Monitor. But for retail Price of 149$ look for better deals and more bang for your buck. UPDATE 21.01.2020: On the right lower corner there seems to be the light a little dimmer than on the rest on the screen. No light bleeding but that corner gets a littler darker towards the corner (meeting point of horizontal and vertical edges). No noticeable pixels burned out on any Colour. So thats what I observed till now. Otherwise awesome monitor. I recommend for under 100$ although there are already several alternatives for this with a wider Colour gammut, a little more money and as well flicker free and reduced blue light eye care certification as well with an integrated brightness sensor. The 24 size is about the optimal monitor size.
