> 24 hourBack in 1982 I got my first computer (and monitor), and IMB Displaywriter dedicated word processor. Ive used a lot of monitors since then, and this one is the best ever. Period. I wanted an IPS monitor that I could adjust lower - almost touching the desktop - so I wouldnt have to look upward to see the screen. The stand on this monitor goes low. All the specs are great. I hadnt even though abut their eye care technology. My old LG monitor had some kind of blue-light reading mode that wasnt any good at all, at least not for me. This BenQ monitor has 4 different view modes, so I tried them out. The Reading mode lowers the brightness the most so I decided to use it. Wow! What a difference. With the other monitor, I was having to stop and rest my 80 year old eyes (only one eye still works) after about 15 minutes. Now I can go an hour - yes... 60 minutes - before I have to stop and rest. This stuff really works! When I need to do some image editing, or work on a video, I switch to the Multimedia mode - the brightest and most accurate colors - and when I am done, back to the Reading mode again. Whats really impressive is that this isnt even their top of the line monitor! I bought it for the stand, so I could lower the monitor. Shh... dont tell them, but... after using this monitor daily for more than 3 months, Id pay twice as much for it. If you have eye fatigue, like I do, this monitor might be what you need.

> 24 hourIve had this monitor for about two years now and its perfect. I have a smaller desk and it fits rather nicely. The display is smooth. This product is marketed perfectly, it does everything it claims. Definitely worth the price. :)

> 24 hourWith a change in work from home culture due to COV19 I needed a replica of my office setup at home. 24 monitors, triple-monitor arm, standup desk, etc. I did extensive research as I didnt want to spend a fortune creating this setup but definitely needed it to be a long term office quality setup. With so many brands and options available in the market making a choice was difficult so started with requirements. 1. Needed 24 monitor 2. Needed multiple port options i.e. both DP and HDMI 3. VESA compatible 4. Thin bezels Most of the monitors provided only HDMI and DP was a must for me due to my docking station requirement plus also plan to use the monitors for light gaming. To my surprise, the options with these requirements started with $150 plus but only BenQ GW2480, Phillips, and Scepter monitors were in this range. Further analysis led to BenQ as my choice as it offered everything I was looking for at $130. Although the projected cost of this monitor is $119 I bought three of these at $130 each because the features were worth paying for. Have used it for office work and have no regret so far in buying these monitors. I will use them for gaming later and will update my review accordingly.

> 24 hourVideo quality is top notch. I use for both work and video games and the quality is very good for both. There is zero glare from sunlight. They’ve earned a loyal customer.

> 24 hourLike a lot of people I am working remotely these days and leaning forward and staring at my laptop monitor all day was taking a toll on my neck, back, and patience. This monitor met all of my technical requirements and its larger than the first three television sets I owned. Setup was easy and it has been functioning as expected. When I was shopping I was a little concerned about the adaptive brightness feature but you can easily disable it using the buttons on the bottom right of the monitor. The menus are easy to navigate and I was able to quickly adjust the settings. I use the monitor for standard office work: word processing, email, video conferencing, and some very basic graphic work (email mastheads and banners). It also came with an HDMI cable. I would recommend this monitor to anyone looking for an alternative or to complement your laptop monitor. I am not a gamer, so I am not sure how well this monitor would work with fast moving images.

> 24 hourThe size of the screen is perfect as well as the slick sliding motion to rotate and move the screen up and down. I wish the screen got a little brighter though since during the day it feels a little dim. At night though it looks great!

> 24 hourMy workstation consists of 4 monitors that I use to stare at charts and other small, fast moving data for hours at a time. Ive been getting headaches and having trouble focusing lately so I figured it may be time for an upgrade. I ordered one of these monitors to see if the eyecare technology was worth the hype. The difference in this display vs the 3 older ones I have is just incredible. The lighting is even and clean. I dont really know how to explain it but it just feels much more natural to look at. The issue Ive had with every monitor is probably the same as most people. I felt like I was always having to play with the brightness and contrast when bouncing back and forth between programs with a darker background and reading documents with a white background. This has solved that issue with its automatic light sensing and eyecare technology. The price is also spectacular for what this monitor offers. Ill be ordering 3 more to update the rest. Thanks BenQ! Update: Its been 7 months now with zero issues. Update: Almost a year now and still no issues. Also a small plus Ive noticed.. The plastic has a matte finish and is easy to clean. Other monitors Ive had start to look old quickly because the smooth plastic scratches easily while youre dusting it. Might not mean much to most people but Im a nut and thought it was worth mentioning.

> 24 hourI got these monitors for my home workstation so that I could work from home. Since we’ve had them my wife has confiscated them for her machine. She does a lot of spreadsheet and email work and for that they are great. Be aware that these are not height adjustable and the base isn’t exactly super sturdy or weighted in anyway. We are currently using them on the factory mounts but may be switching to a dual monitor mounting Bracket in the future. The lcd’s are clear from edge to edge with no blooming while working at night. The bezels are nice and thin so the footprint isnt to big. I don’t know about gaming with them as I have a dedicated tv I use for that. Overall for the price, these monitors are good.

> 24 hourI purchased this to use with my ps4. This is a 75 HZ monitor and the cap for PS4 is 60 so why not. It was very easy to put together.( 100% tool less) it does have speakers and honestly for a monitor under $200 i was surprised. I wouldnt recommend FPS on the speakers but it has better sound then my $400 pc monitor so thats a plus. The picture quality was great right out of the box. Normally you have to tweak the settings right out of the box but it looks great as is. I would recommend and purchase this again for console gaming. For PC gaming you are better off with a 144HZ panel. As always IPS screen looks amazing.
