> 3 dayNice monitor, not used it for gaming. use mostly for watching videos, internet and displaying images which all seem to be good with, like the fact has 3 HDMI Inputs and has audio out and build in speakers. I use it more of a entertainment monitor, have a PC, Roku and DVD Player hooked up. No complaints.

> 3 dayLet me start off with saying that I only use this monitor for working from home. I am a software engineer and there were 3 things that I was looking for in my monitor - 1. Text Sharpness - Text sharpness was one of the biggest reason I went with 4k resolution. With 4k resolution at 32, the pixel density (ppi) comes at 139 which is enough to not make this monitor inferior to the macBook display (ppi=227) when it comes to text sharpness. I had a 27 1440p monitor (ppi=109) before and I always hated the fuzzy text it produced. 2. Good contrast, especially with black background - Because of VA panel this has a very good contrast that helps with black backgrounds. On top of that, HDR mode (even though its not a true HDR) enhances the contrast and the colorful texts in intelliJ (Dracula theme with full black background) and Terminal look gorgeous. 3. More real state (especially height) - I feel either 27 or ultrawide 34 monitors have slightly less height than my liking. 32 nails it. Ultrawide 38 will do as well, but I am yet to see a good value 4k ultrawide 38. The auto brightness adjustment seems to work well so far and proved to be a bonus, that I quite like. No need to adjust the brightness manually anymore. This monitor is also flicker free which is supposed to be good for my eyes, but I am not sure I will be able to tell the difference from my previous monitor. No observable light bleed, no significant color fading and given that I only use it for work I did not bother the not so great viewing angles that VA panels usually have and some other reviewers have complained about. Out of the box settings for this monitor is great and I do not think I had to change too many settings. I did have to scale this display in the macBook System Preferences -> Display settings in favor of the larger texts because with 4k resolution your texts would look too small and given that my monitor is at least 2 ft from my eyes I had to select a Less Space & Larger Text option - https://www.macobserver.com/tips/how-to/4k-monitor-retina-mode/ Only downside for me is not so adjustable stand that comes with it but it does have VESA mount that you can make use of if you really want it to be adjustable. For me the height of this monitor was low and I remedied this by putting couple of books underneath it. Overall a very good 4k 32 monitor and I am quite happy with my purchase.

> 3 dayThe BenQ 32 EW3270U is a 4k monitor with decent picture quality perfect for either home or office. The product arrived in perfect condition a day ahead of promised delivery date. It has a low input lag and fast response time to deliver clear images with minimal motion blur; however, the refresh rate is limited to 60Hz, Ive tried all sorts of games using Nintendo Switch, but yet to try the PS5. A friend tried his PS4 using this monitor and it worked like a charm, the weight without the stand is around 6kgs/13lbs and weight without the stand is around 7.5kgs/16.5lbs. The only real issue Id say this monitor has is the fact that its a dirt magnet and might require regular cleaning. Nevertheless, considering all the other perks, a 4K display monitor for this price range with eye care technology (which doesnt work as well as they claim btw). In addition, no washed up effects consider its not an OLED display, think it is a phenomenal bargain at the set price ($399, or 599 in my case including shipping, handling, and import charges). In the box: Youll find: Display, Stand, DisplayPort cable, USB-C cable, User Manual (minimal information QR code attached for more info), and Power cable Pros: Best 4k monitor for cost Good dark scene performance Very good gray uniformity 4k resolution is great for multiple windows 60hz refresh rate Built in speakers No washed up effect Built-in headphone jack Type-C compatible HDMI-compatible Wall mount compatible Highly gradient and low color bleed Good light reflection handling Flicker free Cons: Cant get bright enough for HDR Poor quality built in speakers Cannot accommodate anything beyond 60hz Image degrades at an angle Dirt and fingerprint attraction A little wobbly when nudged No swivel Tilt Range -15° to 5° Max brightness not that bright Verdict: Recommended even in 2021, if it fits your budget

> 3 dayVery good 32 inch monitor. Definitely not an IPS, but I also didn’t spend $1000.00 for it either. It does what I wanted to do. Web surfing, movie watchingand a little game playing. Please notice I didn’t say anything about graphics design. It’s a good monitor.

> 3 dayThe picture quality is superb. The audio turned out to be a big let down. I chased my tail for a week trying to get the monitors speakers to work. It turns out that you cant get there from here. The speakers will only work with a DisplayPort connection. A lot of PCs, like mine, dont have DisplayPort connectivity. And, you cant just buy an additional PC board with this connection because they dont exist. My PC has an audio-out 3.5 jack connection, but my Benq monitor DOES NOT HAVE a 3.5 audio-in! The solution is to buy some decent add-on PC speakers. Why Benq doesnt tell you about this problem up front is a mystery to me. And, I saw no mention if it in any reviews. If I had known about this issue, I probably would have bought the monitor anyway and not have wasted my time trying to get their speakers working. The documentation does mention that there can be some differences between some models, so I wonder if there is a model somewhere with an audio-in.

> 3 dayThis monitor has great resolution, and color accuracy. It’s vibrant. No dead pixels that I could see upon arrival, even with a test. However, my unit came with a defective backlight. It’s a VA panel so I didn’t expect to have any backlight bleed, but alas it has bad bleeding in basically all the corners. I assume this is defective and not something you should expect with this display. The HDR on this monitor isn’t effective at all. In fact, HDR content looked better and more vibrant and lifelike with it turned off. I can only assume that’s because this monitor has no VESA certification for HDR. It definitely wouldn’t even support displayHDR 400 standards. I’m sure this monitor is decent with a non-defective backlight and if you don’t care to use HDR, but for me this was very underwhelming. Even if the backlight wasn’t defective, I would still unfortunately return this monitor because of the false HDR.

> 3 dayGreat monitor. I got this on cyber Monday and scored a deal. I use this to play my PS Pro and it looks unbelievably good. Great picture quality and the size is perfect for my set up. Good feature set as well and the HDR really shines. Sound quality could be better but I use my headphones and never have the sound on. I do wish it came with a remote but if you’re close to the monitor it doesn’t matter. Good pickup for gaming.

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayWell, 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.
