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

I returned this monitor due to the size. The fault was mine because I didnt fully comprehend how large it would be. I had envisioned a monitor half again larger. From now on, for something like that, I will buy on site rather than through the internet.

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

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.

I originally got this to have handy for my basement home server setup, and it has worked well in that regard. I made sure to get an otherwise decent monitor in case it needed to be deployed into more frequent use, and the recent COVID-19 pandemic has seen my wife and I now both working from home. Thus this has been promoted to daily use. The included stand only requires one screw, and its captive in the stand (I previously had this mounted to a ceiling vesa mount). Thus when I needed to put this to use, I wasnt hunting for a screw. Well done. Its a very capable monitor with crisp text, good viewing angles, and multiple inputs (one of my requirements for use with my servers). The refresh rate is more at home in the workplace than for gaming, but thats fine for our uses. The brightness, contrast, and color reproduction were good out of the box, and we were able to refine each to meet my wifes needs. Recommended if you need a quality monitor for a home office and do not need to switch to a portrait orientation (without using a vesa mount, which this supports).

Easy set up. Large. Good value for the price. I have an older laptop, so I wasnt looking for a top of the line gaming monitor with the best graphics. Having the built in speakers are nice, and the monitor worked right away with plugging it into my computer. No need to download drivers from somewhere else. Would recommend!

I felt my big 32-inch screen was burning holes in my eyes and dreaded coming to the office! This screen has made a huge difference. Though it is smaller, it is easier to face each day. The light is mellow, softer, and not painful. If you feel your screen is burning holes in your eyes, try this!

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

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.

I bought this monitor in April of 2021 and a few months later had my first experience of turning it on and the screen was rapidly pulsing. I called customer support and they led me through thirty minutes of troubleshooting that did not solve it. I was out of the return window with Amazon. Four days later I turned it on and it was fine. Fast forward another few months and same problem, wait a few days its back to normal. This cycle continued over and over. I contacted customer support a second time in mid October 2022 and ended up paying $20 to package and ship (they paid shipping) it back to them to fix. I just got it back and its working great - I hope it stays that way.

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.
