> 3 dayI would definitely recommend these monitors to people. I bought two for a dual display setup. I use it for both office work and for gaming. I connect to the monitors using display port and a laptop docking station. The stands are very sturdy and setup took less than five minutes. The displays are much easier on my eyes than my other ones. I bought these to hopefully help with my migraines (since I sit at the computer for 12+ hours a day). I haven’t had them long enough to see if they really help with the migraines but I will update if they don’t really help. The frames around the outside are thin so a dual screen setup looks good with these displays. The material feels nice and it’s made of sturdy material and not flimsy plastic. There is a little bit of brightness fade near the outside but it’s not bad at all and it’s hardly noticeable. The only way I’ve found to completely avoid that is with curved monitors. Overall, these monitors are a great bang for your buck.

> 3 day**************UPDATE After 1-Full Day Using****************** My initial concern with this monitor (detailed below) was its poor text rendering--very fuzzy letters. After using the monitor for a whole day and night, another major problem has arisen: I cant adjust screen brightness when the room is dim (such as when using the monitor at night). The light from auto-adjust is so bright it makes it hard to keep looking at the screen. This was a great price for a 24-inch monitor, but between the fuzzy text and the too great brightness, the monitor will have to go back, sadly. **********Original Review************** We just got this monitor. Set up was VERY easy relative to other monitors weve bought. Up and running in 5-minutes. We appreciate the cord management system, too. We fit both the power cord and the audio/video cord in the slot inside the arm that holds up the monitor. Its also very easy to adjust brightness and color profiles using the buttons under the monitor next to the always-lit (but unobtrusive) white LED power button. What we werent prepared for, having used for many years now only retina displays, is how painful it is to look at a 1080p... screen. Makes me feel like Im back in elementary school with those ancient machines whose screens were difficult to look at for more than an hour. The resolution of this monitor makes it suitable ONLY for videos the quality of which we dont care about. We wouldnt want to watch a movie on it. More importantly, text renders very blurry (maybe this is just standard for 1080p). We wanted an additional monitor so we could separate our coding tasks, but the fuzziness of 1080p defeats the purpose since we cant look at the characters long without hurting our eyes. One marginal (still unsatisfactory) solution weve found is to stand at least 3 feet away from the screen. But still, looking back and forth between a retina screen and the 1080p screen almost gives us vertigo. Were floored at how poor non-retina, non-4K... resolution is (for text, especially). Why is there still a demand for fuzzy text-rendering screens in 2021? Were pretty sure well send this back and cough up the substantially higher fee for a 4K monitor that renders text suitable for many hours of screen reading.

> 3 dayThe monitor is nice and large but lacks in the deeper blacks (FIXED). On my laptop screen, it shows a nice and dark black, but on the monitor, it seems to be dulled out and grayed, but it isnt too bad. For PC gaming, Id highly recommend getting a higher refresh rate monitor such as 120-144hz because it would utilize those frames better. For consoles, this would be a perfect monitor as you probably wouldnt be going over 100 fps anyway. For others looking for a monitor to just surf the web, this would also be a perfect and relatively cheap option for a monitor Overall, a great monitor, but would wait until its under $120 if it wasnt already. A regular price of $150 seems a bit too steep for a 60hz monitor. EDIT I found the reason as to why the blacks werent as dark. For some reason, the monitor comes in with nightlight turned on by default, filtering out blue light. Also, the adaptive brightness was also off by default. Make sure to configure your monitor after installing it.

> 3 dayIf you are looking for a monitor that gives your eyes comfort-this is the best deal. For gaming, there are better monitors out there.

> 3 dayI’m not tech savvy so I can’t say much. But the monitor has a good look to it. It’s very well balanced, so I’m not worried about it falling over. I’m very happy it has a display port input, it also vga, & hdmi inputs, but I’m using the display port. It has a good sound quality too, but I using speakers just because they’re louder. I got it because it’s supposed to be easier on your eyes, I can’t say much yet because I haven’t used it much - I’ll just have to see later. I’m not using it for gaming, only school work, but honestly I think the picture quality uploads good.

> 3 dayI bought two of the same monitors, once in 2019 and have been using it since. I recently bought another one for work, and I noticed a lot of differences from the older model. The framework around the screen is a little bit bigger but the screen is a little bit darker.

> 3 dayFirst off, I spent weeks over analyzing reviews and when I finally went to buy them, they sold out. So I had to wait about two weeks, was about to buy other brands (Viewsonic, sceptre, Acer, and HP) because I was impatient. So glad I didn’t. I swapped out 2 (two) 22inch Dell monitors (which both were different bezels and models) one was brighter than the other and one had too much yellowing. It was definitely time to swap. I really don’t play any games on my work computer, so I can’t comment on the games or refresh rate being too low at i What I did try was some movies (At 720p and 1080p) and YouTube streaming. The picture, brightness, and colors are super crisp! The refresh rate at 60hz is fine for what we do. If you work in the office, this is more than perfect!! Surprisingly, the speakers are ok, definitely made for listening to a webinar or a team meeting... or music on low. But, to be clear, I won’t be using these monitors to watch movies, but it was a great test of the clarity and colors. I’ll be using this for Microsoft, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and company programs. The viewing angles are great too! My wife said I didn’t need new monitors but after I bought them anyway, set them up and she saw them set up, she told me she is going to use them too. We both use the same HP Docking station so works out! See the before and after pictures. I also attached these monitors on Amazon’s Dual Monitor desk mount for $39.99. So much cleaner and less crap on the desk. One thing I’ll say, the flicker free is for real!!! You may see some on the pictures that I uploaded but my wife and I literally DO NOT see any flickering! Also, we hated that the other older monitors had large bezels that prevented us from being more efficient and had to move out apps or word documents around so we could read them. Now, we can literally read everything with little to no distraction or disruption. Yes, there is at least just shy of a 1/4 inch bezel, but after dealing with a 2 inch bezel gap between the two older monitors, this is glorious!! The two bezels on the BenQ combined are still thinner than one of the monitors on the Dell. Trust me, Especially with working from home during the pandemic, this was causing more pissed off days. Also, the adaptive brightness is also working and very subtle but works! It does come with HDMI cables, but my HP docking station has two DP ports. Yes recommend!!!
