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

I absolutely love the picture quality though a 27 inch might be have been a bit nicer, it is a great monitor if you are using two monitors like I am. I have a gaming monitor then this monitor is for video editing and content consuming.

For some inexplicable reason, Apple only put 1 Thunderbolt 3 controller in the 2021 iMac. so if you attach an LG ultra fine monitor, it grabs both channels to get the bandwidth it needs, causing the second port to turn off. This monitor supports DP 1.4 and the LG only supports DP 1.2. If you want to run two high resolution monitors on your 2021 iMac, this is about the only way youll get that done. plug in and go... thunderbolt 3 high bandwidth cables is all you need. as for the monitor, its beautiful. youll have to tweak the color settings a bit to get it to match the temperature of the iMac which is a bit colder (more awards 6500k and the BenQ defaults a bit more fun the middle around 4000k... but the BenQ displays the entire Rec709 color space, and does it beautifully. Great monitor. Great price.

Pros: No pixel problems - always a concern on any new monitor Has some interesting eye relief features - Mostly Ive disabled them at the moment but they are there for use Overall seems like a pretty reasonable 1440 monitor for the price - it is a value priced but probably comparable to most monitors in the mid price range. Stand is nicer than the most critical reviews here. They were far to harsh on it. I have had super $$ monitors that performed worse - just sayin Cons: The eye relief sensor even set to FAR doesnt see me when I lean back in my chair while watching a streaming video like a long Youtube or Philo etc.. Touch sensitive buttons on the front can be a bit fiddley. If they dont wear out like mechanical then I suppose its worth it. They just seem to lack the response a mechanical button has when scrolling through menus. Can be a bit annoying but not at all a show stopper.

HDMI socket was defective on my unit, which was a deal breaker. Otherwise the panel quality was extremely good. Even though the panel had 3 dead pixels, the very high pixel density meant these were barely noticeable. No problems with the color gradient or contrast. Super nice monitor overall. My unit having a defective HDMI socket was probably just a manufacturing outlier.

Usage Summary: Gaming -- 4/10. Doesnt blur much, but no g/f sync. Not great for hardcore gaming. Video Editing -- 8/10. DCI colorspace is probably _the_ next standard, if not there already. 95% coverage is very good. Online photo editing -- 10/10. 100% sRGB is nice and vibrant. Print photo editing -- 5/10. 84% is better than average, but not great. CAD -- Didnt really try this feature out. Office work -- 10/10. Ultrawide is amazing for multi-tasking. Slightly More Detailed Review: I commend BenQ for committing to flat ultrawides when the general trend is curved screens. Overall quality, IPS bleed, fit & finish, color consistency, and sharpness were all excellent. I would definitely consider this a premium product, as reflected by its price. I really wanted to love this monitor and had very high hopes once receiving it, but ultimately ended up returning it. In a nutshell, colorspace coverage and deltaE are not very good for serious photo editing (my most stringent usage case). 99.5% sRGB -- Excellent, as advertised. 84.2% aRGB -- Better than most laptops, but not great for lab prints. 94.6% dcip3 -- Slightly lower than advertised. I dont do video work, so this wouldnt have bothered me. 0.10 deltaE76avg -- Good. 2.61 deltaE76max -- Slightly concerning. 0.35 deltaE76rms -- Ok, but not great. Out-of-the-box calibration was very good, but was maybe 50 Kelvin too cool. For a general use monitor, though, all these numbers are actually good/very good. For professional work (photography in my case), it did not make the cut. Overall rating is 5 stars for general use, but 3 stars for photography.

A real first class monitor....many adjustments...fine picture quality... many adjustments to viewing position...

I work from home. This monitor easily supports my work Apple Mac Book Pro M1 and my personal Mac mini M1. The remote switch allows me to move from one computer to another. Also allows Picture in Picture control and more. Great resolution with Thunderbolt and HDMI. Easy to mount to VESA stand. Very pleased. Great monitor.

*Update: Shortly after this review, BenQ replaced my monitor. They sent me a new one first and then I mailed back the dying monitor. Very easy process and great customer service! No problems with the new one over the past 9 months. Updated rating to 4 stars. ______________________________________________ Bought this monitor about 4 months ago. Best looking monitor Ive ever owned! Use it for video and audio editing and production. Love all of the connection options and clarity of picture. However, about a month ago I noticed green/purple/pink lines creeping into my picture. Over the past month its progressively worsened. I can fix it temporarily by moving the monitor back and forth. Like Im relieving pressure from the back mount. But it always comes back. It is getting harder to fix and will probably be unfixable eventually. The monitor is stationary, so I dont believe it has been damaged. Its not a cord issue as it doesnt matter what type of connection I use, it always is present. Disappointed as I really like this monitor. Hope Im able to find a solution!

Most monitors these days have flimsy plastic stands and seem to be of poor quality. This works perfectly w/my MacBook Pro, 4K resolution and Retina down-sizing make the text sharp and crisp. I use this mainly for work & programming so cannot comment too much on the colors, though they look good to me. Very solid monitor, the base is metal, USB-C works great. After several poor experiences trying to get monitors thatd look good on MacOS, this one made the cut.

I was searching for a long time to find a profiled monitor that was affordable. BenQ is the only company that does this better than any one else. Its a good size and comes with many types of cables and is packed very well. You could buy any good monitor and the equipment to profile it, but now you dont have to try and make the color right; this one is color corrected right out of the box. Im an award-winning hummingbird photographer in Wyoming and would purchase this again in a minute! Visit my website HogbatsPhotography.com and see for yourself what good color should look like. This BenQ 24 inch PC monitor is the best, period.
