BenQ GW2475H Computer Monitor 24 FHD 1080p | IPS | Wide-Viewing Angle | Low Blue Light | Eye-Care Tech | Flicker-Free | ePaper Mode | Tilt Screen | Headphone Jack | HDMI | VGA

This was a real letdown, coming from a 6 year old LG IPS panel (27EA31). Its a good size for gaming, movies and graphical work and the color performance is good right out of the box, but the nature of the VA panel and iffy uniformity just kills it for any kind of art, video or photo applications. Sitting in front of this display, even at dead-on center with a 50% grey full screen image, is like looking down a well of shadow. Oddly reminiscent of Samsung AMOLED phone screens, true black pixels never shift or suffer from off-angle issues because theres no light coming through, so if you have a color or monochrome image that has any real black, that part will remain jet-black while the rest of it shifts and lightens if you move off-center. Its a little weird -- and I assume its how they claim those amazing contrast numbers. Theyre tricking the tests. Color is accurate as long as you stay absolutely still and face the monitor with optimal angles, but if you so much as incline your head a bit in any direction the levels shift. Its almost like a TN or ancient STN display, like you got on old PDA devices where the viewing angle was different from your left eye to the right. It really is that bad. HDR is funky and changes settings, most of which you cannot adjust to taste, so it has limited practical use. Backlight uniformity is lacking, too. A grey image showed dirty screen effect and there were obvious darker bands/lines running vertically. Not sure if this is due to the coating/texture of the matte screen or what, but Ive noticed other BenQ models get dinged for this issue. If all I was ever going to do was play games and watch movies, this might be fine. The display is bright enough, despite that being a common criticism and contrast is good as long as you dont incline or move your head too much... But any time I load Photoshop or any other graphic editor the color-bleaching viewing angles and uniformity problem are dealbreakers.

Had this monitor for almost 7 months. Then it starts to process slow and my FPS drops while playing games. Then I go to turn on my laptop and the pixels are messed up and screen appears to be not responding at all.

Saw this was 4K, financed it, made the purchase a hell of a lot easier. 60 frames at 4K, which is fine by me. Use it for my PC, switch and PS5. Also the size of the screen makes it feel like I have two monitors.

the experience buying this monitor was really bad, I bought it and the carrier lost the monitor and they delivered me something totally different, the second time they sent it it arrived relatively fast but the audio was not working, one HDMI port works weird, however the image quality is very good.

Ill admit, I didnt check what cables this comes with, so I didnt realize that it doesnt have the DisplayPort cable needed for an RTX-2080 video card. Cable is now on order. Received the monitor and its excellent. Very happy with this purchase!

I bought this to use for work from home. Rather than use multiple monitors, I open and arrange multiple windows on this monitor. Its perfect for what I need. I would not recommend it for your sole source of audio. If I do decide to buy a second monitor, it will be a second one of these!

Purchased this to go along with my 2015 iMac. Few things to understand, buy a displayport to thunderbolt2 cable. Only truly supported option for full resolution on this generation of Mac. The size of the iMac desktop is always set to 1440p. They say 5k but it is impossible to view such a small resolution. This is why this monitor is a perfect second monitor for a mac desktop. A 4k screen is not necessary. Other than higher dpi or better backlight options 1440 or 2k is the best option for a 27inch monitor. Emulated Hdr is ok but not necessary as the monitor doesnt have the peak nits to achieve true Hdr. People complain about the stand or lack of ergonomics i bought the amazon basics monitor arm. Perfect adjustment for an affordable price. I think it brought the total to around $350 for everything. Plan on getting another one for a full 3 monitor setup. Being used for daytrading setup, so perfect resolution. If youre doing any fancy video editing i would purchase the next level up of Benq monitor. This however is perfect for Clerical and regular display use. I use the iMac speakers because you dont need both. They arent great but if you had nothing else these are fine, maybe buy a small desktop speaker if the Benq is by itself and you want an upgrade. Not for gaming or editing but perfect for work from home or school option. I included a few pics from first setup to compare the quality vs the Imac screen.

Well, I had been using a television as a second screen for work. That picture was not very clear. However for this monitor, the picture is crystal clear. I am really happy with it. When the machine it is attached to goes into sleep mode so to does this monitor which is good. Sound seems reasonably OK, but I havent really tested it with music. Set-up was slightly more difficult that I expected, but I think pretty much anyone can manage it with a wee bit of effort. I cant find anything to complain about, yet.

After 4 27 inch IPS panel returns with issues, I finally decided to get a big cheap VA. This is the greatest monitor Ive ever used. In terms of color pop and ease on the eyes, its mind blowing how good it is. Not sure about HDR but I just leave the emulated on. The colors are too good. This is fantastic eye candy productivity screen with no nonsense like gamer branding. I will update this review but my first impressions is this is the monitor Ive been looking for. Contrast and viewing angles are not bad at all. Basically IPS in terms of usability, but not in terms of consistent accuracy. At least its not like a TN where you literally cant see the text on the screen from an angle without straining your eyes. 32 inches will have you push it towards the back of the desk where its not a problem anyways. Very pleased with this product.

I got 3 of these over a month or 2 about 6 months ago. Im perfectly happy. The size and resolution are good for my purposes. Price seems reasonable for what they are. I dont need 4K, so these work fine. I like to pop financial charts to full screen and back down. I tried 32 inch at this resolution, but that was too big.
