BenQ BL2420PT Color Accurate Design Monitor 24 QHD 1440p | 100% Rec.709 & sRGB | IPS | Delta E≤3 | Calibration Report | AQCOLOR | Ergonomic | Speakers | DisplayPort | USB Hub

Competition drives some companies to provide quality and features the professional wants. BenQ definitely did that with this monitor. Innovative, great picture, and easy-to-use features. I would have never considered using my MacBook Pro as my main PC at the office, but this monitor changed that for me. Took the iMac home...but Im even thinking about doing the same thing there. Great monitor...definitely woke me up to whats possible.

Great monitor for the price! Very bright and when looking over creative and advertising stuff, they really pop. The base and mount are top-notch and allows for easy movement and rotation. I may purchase another.

The positions that this can get into are Amazing. The portrait mode is crazy because it’s so high and skinny, but hey, some people might find it useful. Because it can do portrait mode, the vertical raising and lowering range when it’s in landscape mode is huge. ** Update: One little item of note, for some reason my monitor came with the default setting to limit the display of max and min RGB colors! I was noticing that some very light gray items werent appearing on my monitor (but were appearing on my other monitor when I dragged the window over to it) To fix this make sure this is set in the menu: Picture Advanced --> HDMI PC Range --> RGB (0~255)

This is a pretty good monitor, but as far as I can tell you cant control the volume on a Macbook Pro with 3rd party controllers like MonitorControl or Lunar. Im able to control brightness from my keyboard with MonitorControl & Lunar, but volume doesnt work. If you want to use the display speakers this is a huge pain because you have to use the stupid monitor control knob at the back and navigate through a menu for basic volume controls.

I LOVE this monitor!! I got it for work (graphic design) and the colors are brilliant the crispness makes every other monitor in my house look like butt cheeks even my MSI gaming monitor (that was twice the price) isnt as crisp and vibrant as this baby. It does only hit 60hz but I love playing games on it anyways because they look sooo good. When it comes to work - I can see color imperfections that you just cant see on other monitors - so it has improved the quality of my projects.

The image quality is outstanding. I love the programmable Hotkey Puck, with just one click I can switch between the mode I need for editing and for reading with low blue light. My eyes are less stressed and really got better since I am using this monitor. This was one of the best upgrade decisions I made.

I had been using an Asus PQ321Q 31.5” 4K display since 2014 with a variety of Macs. At the time, the image quality had exceeded anything I’d used and I was quite pleased with this monitor. It had its quirks, including a difficult UI, but the image made up for it, and once adjusted, I rarely messed with things. Various OS updates brought problems with waking from sleep that required hard power cycling. As time went on, these got increasingly annoying, but I was always able to get the monitor to work again, eventually. Then MacOS 10.15.4 came along, and the monitor simply would not work. This is surely a bug with Apple software, but after a few days of fighting an uphill battle, I gave in and decided to purchase a Thunderbolt Display. Given the relatively positive experience with ASUS and the forced opportunity to upgrade, I selected the Asus ProArt PA32UC 32. It was a comparable size but had dramatically better specs. Thanks to Amazon, it showed up shortly after ordering. My first impression of this monitor was that it was vastly more capable with its HDR capabilities, wide color gamut, and myriad input ports. But, the backlight bleed in the corners was noticeably worse than I remembered on the PQ321Q. Without a side by side comparison, I wasn’t sure but it felt worse for sure. And given that this device touted its deep blacks, I was immediately disappointed. I could live with this though, but worse, the first time I brought up a white screen, I immediately saw a number of black spots around the display. Dead pixels? Dust under the glass? I don’t know, but I do know that it drove me crazy. Every time I scrolled a white window across the screen, I fought the urge to wipe the dust off the screen. But I couldn’t. The next day, back to Amazon it went. The available options in this display class are fairly limited. The other device I’d been weighing was the BenQ PD3220U 32 inch. On paper, it’s a lesser display, certainly in terms of color gamut. But I needed a display and this seemed like it could work, so I gave it a try. Much to my delight, this display has been amazing. As a Mac user, it feels as if it were made by Apple for your Mac. Plug it into the Thunderbolt port and it just works. There’s a color setting just for you. You can adjust all the settings via free software. The display looks great and free of artifacts. The stand is solid and feels rugged, and the bezel and elegantly discrete. I really like this monitor and every time I wake my Mac from sleep and the display illuminates as if it’s happy to see you, it makes me appreciate it even more. I don’t ever use the included puck but see that it could be useful for some. The speakers are terrible, but hey, it includes speakers that are good enough to alert you to system sounds if the audio out is selected for monitor output.

Don’t even think about it just buy if. If you can afford this gorgeous monitor there is no better alternative to it for this price. I wish I could keep it but my room is a little too bright for this monitor. But this is…. Benq is uffff hot!

The best monitor for both my MacBook Pro and my windows laptop. Amazing colors and awesome resolutions. Overall experience is superb!!

Pros: - The stand is very sturdy and easy to install, it has plenty of options for orienting it. - The display looks great, very crisp and bright, it looks gorgeous for gaming (I know this isnt a gaming monitor) - Not noticing any issues with the 5ms delay time, works fine for gaming - Display Pilot software allows you to save multiple presets (for example I have a gaming preset, a low blue light web browsing preset, etc.) - Has plenty of input options Cons - Display Pilot software is a little slow to change presets (takes around 20-30 seconds sometimes) but once you get used to it, it is a helpful program. - The back of the monitor is angled in such a way that adding bias lighting will be a bit more difficult. Overall, none of the things I dislike about this monitor warrant docking any stars, Final Fantasy 15 and PUBG both look excellent on it, 1440p video looks incredible, the options for customizing it are excellent. I know this isnt marketed for gamers, but it works for a gamer quite well. What was most important for me was that I could find a high quality IPS display that had low blue light modes for browsing, and I was able to find that with this.
