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

Good: -Its noticablly more colorful than traditional TN LED monitors -LIghtweight ultra slim bezel is sharp looking. -Blue light and zero flicker -Vesa mountable (which I use a dual monitor set -up) -I personally havent seen any limitations in lag or sloppy response times yet. I have my settings maxed in the games I play. BenQ has a three year warranty on there screens. Bad: -Not nearly as bright as traditional monitors -IPS screens in general and this one very much bleeds light out of the corners. -Trade of slim bezel smooth looking design for weakness and the potential of dust getting under the screen while cleaning -Speakers are awful but what can you expect. For who it was bought for its having sound where they dont now. My goal was to set up a dual monitor situation for my home office. So I wanted to have a matching set for ease of use and matching the screen settings. So I will be buying a second one to finish the pair. So even though this will be used on my business center, I first hooked it up to my gaming rig and did a little bit of photo rendering to see if I like the screen. I would use this with confidence for gaming , especially for working with photos. Games and pictures look much more vivid. I think the biggest drawback is how dark it appears in a dark room. I am still working with the settings a bit. I watched a Kong skull island on here, to test the special effects scenes, the bleeding on a wide screen with the black bars on top and bottom really, really stick out. You can definitely see corner bleeding. That being said the quality of the video was great, so it was a trade off. I would not watch TV on here much, or at least without getting some speakers anyway. I wanted to keep the price down and still get a quality product, I feel this was good fit.

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 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.

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

This had good reviews. But maybe mine was just defective. Dont know whether I want to take a chance on a replacement. see pic Edit after replacement: This has a great picture!

This monitor is clear and crisp. The price was right for a desk computer that is not taxed overly. I would not recommend this size monitor for gaming.

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.

My package arrived, banged up and torn. I was going to return it. So I called Amazon support. And with Amazon support, I was encouraged to open the box to see if it works or if there’s any damage. My screen wasn’t damaged. It looked great, and so we turned it all together. And I’m so glad I listen to the Amazon support person. Ethan. Thank you. My eyes are grateful to you. This is such a great product. If you have work from home, or if you have to do coding or you have to look at multiple screens at the same time. This doesn’t hurt your eyes. Or if you have a laptop with a crappy screen with high blue light and high flickering. This is a great alternative to add to it so you don’t have to look at that terrible screen. That was my case. And now I’m so glad. Within one day, my eyes are even better than before. So I might even return my glasses clipped that I bought just for this purpose.

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

My workstation consists of 4 monitors that I use to stare at charts and other small, fast moving data for hours at a time. Ive been getting headaches and having trouble focusing lately so I figured it may be time for an upgrade. I ordered one of these monitors to see if the eyecare technology was worth the hype. The difference in this display vs the 3 older ones I have is just incredible. The lighting is even and clean. I dont really know how to explain it but it just feels much more natural to look at. The issue Ive had with every monitor is probably the same as most people. I felt like I was always having to play with the brightness and contrast when bouncing back and forth between programs with a darker background and reading documents with a white background. This has solved that issue with its automatic light sensing and eyecare technology. The price is also spectacular for what this monitor offers. Ill be ordering 3 more to update the rest. Thanks BenQ! Update: Its been 7 months now with zero issues. Update: Almost a year now and still no issues. Also a small plus Ive noticed.. The plastic has a matte finish and is easy to clean. Other monitors Ive had start to look old quickly because the smooth plastic scratches easily while youre dusting it. Might not mean much to most people but Im a nut and thought it was worth mentioning.
