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 REALLY wanted to like this. I am used to an Eizo, or before that, Barco. I need color accurate REAL world representation of what will be printed. I do work for high end tv, streaming and theatrical advertising clients. The files I deal with have a bunch of effect and adjustment layers over composited images. It might be fine for single image photographs, but when I deal with crazy layouts created by art directors and designers that use 15 layers to create a single gradation, I have to see what kind of crazy banding or color shifts that I need to fix. I COULD NOT get this thing dialed in. I tried for 3 weeks to get it to show me accurate details, especially in the darks. This thing STRUGGLES with 3/4 tones. If I brightened the screen settings, I would get banding that wasnt there, and if I darkened the screen to reduce the banding, I could not see the difference between the 90-95% blacks and 100% black. A client pointed out to me that the finish that I was working on had issues with inconsistencies in the blacks. Once I switched back to my Eizo, it was clear as day. Maybe I needed to get a model with hardware calibration, but I wasnt going to take that chance and buy another BenQ when I knew what I was going to get with an Eizo. Ended up returning this and going with what I know works.

The picture quality is average. The trick to making fonts not look bad is to reduce the sharpness. However, I purchased this display solely for its KVM capabilities, and it falls very short in this regard—as in it generally doesnt work and I find myself plugging, unplugging, power-cycling, and setting KVM specifically (instead of using the puck), and it generally doesnt work. My trade-off in picture quality was for the KVM, but Im left with average picture quality and no KVM. Additionally, Im no embedded software engineer, but I dont think you should need to have a connected display in order to use the HUD. Thats just infuriating. Edit: Updated to 1-star. This thing is beyond infuriating.

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.

I bought this monitor to edit photos with a Mac mini m1. The monitor out of the box worked well and was easy to setup The manual was hard to find and there where little details of help on the website. However the user manual is listed on the page for the monitor on Amazon so download that. It explains how to setup the monitor for your needs. It like all monitors takes some adjustment for your use. I will be getting Datacolor SpyderX to adjust it. For my use The controls are easy to use once you understand the symbols. The monitor has a wide range of ports to suit your needs which is a help. The stand is very sturdy and the part than latches on to the monitor is metal which is good IMO vs plastic. So far given the price , color representation and features I am happy with it.

I was a little skeptical about this brand, but after some research in designer community blogs, I learned BenQ is a reputable brand. I was less skeptical when I committed to purchase the monitor. It arrived in time, worked right out of the box, set it up to my standards and so far it has been working great. I am happy with the product and quality to this day. I hope stays this way for a long time. If you are a designer in a budget and looking for a good monitor that will help you in your work. BenQ has you covered :) Perfect Size 24” Resolution is great 1440p Colors are perfect 100% RGB

Best feature: if you connect your MINI to BENQs HDMI port, your computer and monitor will find one another automatically; you will not need to program them or prod them into action. The cable isnt costly. Fabulous: my monitors picture quality is outstanding with no blemishes whatsoever. Adequate: BENQS Quick Start Guide has been printed in innumerable languages; so during construction, you must rely on diagrams in addition to words to guide you. Perform the steps in sequence. To avoid unnecessary fuss, be sure to connect signal, power and optional headphone or sound-system cables to their respective ports before attaching the stand to the base. Caution: base and stand are solid and probably durable; but though they will allow you to adjust the screens position, there are limits to this flexibility. If rotated too far, the stand will detach from the base and you will need to catch the screen before it tumbles to the desktop! Unexpected bonus: I disagree with criticisms of BENQs touch controls. They are easy! If the blinking sleep-mode annoys you, simply touch the signal to extinguish it.

The BenQ display I received has weird pixel grid problem all over the screen, especially noticeable on the different shades of the gray. Looks like every 2 horizontal pixel lines of the display comes in pairs one is darker another is lighter. It maybe hard to notice, but easy to notice for me as I currently have another display that is free from this defect U3219Q. Deffect is visible on the photos, I have Night Shift options enabled, but those lines present when it is disabled as well. Tried all of the settings on the BenQ - no luck, switched display refresh rate to lower - the same. BenQ Display is connected with Display Port Cable. Dont want to waste my time with it. Kind of disappointed, returning.

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.

EDITED/updated: its a decent monitor for the price. I have since resolved a few of the issues in my original review (which Ive now edited to now sway negatively). Its still not as sharp as the old Thunderbolt monitor which was 27, but this does have a very good cost ratio compared tow what you get for your money. Color is better and the white balance fluctuation has stopped. Still not 100% sold on it, but there arent many options in this size, resolution, etc that are this capable.

benq does it again! thanks!
