BenQ GW2780 Computer Monitor 27 FHD 1920x1080p | IPS | Eye-Care Tech | Low Blue Light | Anti-Glare | Adaptive Brightness | Tilt Screen | Built-In Speakers | DisplayPort | HDMI | VGA

With 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.

I returned this monitor due to the size. The fault was mine because I didnt fully comprehend how large it would be. I had envisioned a monitor half again larger. From now on, for something like that, I will buy on site rather than through the internet.

11-3-2020 --I had email and phone conversation with BenQ Customer support. None of their recommendations fixed the issue, which is that the screen goes black for 2 seconds 20X -40X a day. This monitor is used for Work, so in addition to being irritating, the situation is also disruptive, as I work from home like so many today, and in front of my monitor from 8am to 6pm. After none of the recommendations worked, they asked me to ship back the monitor in the original box - yeah, like i kept that box. I have NEVER in 20 years had this issue with a monitor. So the next option required, pack monitor up in a box so that no damage occurs during shipping, otherwise you are responsible for damage. They did send RMA slip. I suggested that they ship me a new replacement monitor (same model) and I would then ship back the current dysfunctional unit in that monitor packing box as an exchange. The ONLY option is to be without a monitor for who-knows-how-long and ship back to BenQ. I need a monitor of some type to do my job, so it is challenging to ship this unit back, and wait indefinitely for another monitor. (no timeline was given for how long to determine issue, etc) . If you choose to buy BenQ and do not get a lemon, you are in good shape. But if you do get a lemon, the customer service options are TERRIBLE. For now, I am going to make-do until I can afford to buy another monitor from a different company than #BenQ *** If I could give a negative star rating, I would. Since my review, the issue is getting worse. I work from home, and on my monitor 8 hours a day. The monitor goes blank 5X an hour. 40X a day. I have checked every connection, changed the setup, etc. I bought this expensive monitor to replace an $80 17in that I had for 5 years, and never a problem. UNBELIEVABLY FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!! For some reason, the screen goes black for about 1-2 seconds about constantly. Suggestions are to check for loose connections. That is not the issue but the only explanation or fixes given for constant screen issues. Very annoying since I use this monitor for work, and during a presentation the black screen is incredible disruptive. I have never had other cheaper monitors to hav this issue. I cannot recommend BenQ.

When I compare this screen to my old one, there is hardly a comparison because this one is so much better. It is bright and colors just jump. My old eyes appreciate the improvement. My only complaint is the touchy electrical connection. If I bump it in the slightest, off it goes. It has to be just so or youve got nothing. Also, there is a little plastic cover over the shaft where the electrical cord goes. It is useless and fall behind the desk at the first opportunity. Other than those two small things, I love it.

The BENQ Monitor exceeds all my expectations for an ideal gaming monitor. The picture is crisp. The settings are user friendly making it easy to adjust to gaming settings. The sound is not great but it almost gets louder over time, and sounds just fine for me excluding music quality. The gaming mode setting is a really cool adjustment. The screen lets off a beautiful LED picture. The brightness adjustment setting is super great. I have sensitive eyes and can’t stare at screens for long although that’s not ever the case with that BenQ. Great purchase !

Needed to replace my dual monitor setup to support me working from home. After reading reviews, took a chance with the BenQ monitors. I have never heard of the brand but seemed like they were trending in the right direction. Wow, really happy with the decision. Crisp images with brilliant colors and an edge to edge display. Packing (five stars): Monitors were packed really well with no parts bouncing or sliding around in the box. Contents could survive a short fall. Setup (five stars): There is not a lot to the setup. Comes with instructions and stand. Easy to install, took less than five minutes. Keep in mind it comes with an HDMI cable. If you have a different interface, buy the cable. Picture Quality (five stars): I am not sure it was because I was previously using such an old monitor from before but the picture is bright, vivid, and crisp. Really love the small of bezel. I tried a couple of games and it seemed the monitor kept up with the frame rate demand with no stuttering/shifting. Overall, a great product and would recommend to my family and friends.

Okay, take it from somebody whos into technology and knows quality when he sees it... these monitors are most definitely quality and at a very cheap price. I didnt want to upgrade from my old Dell 17 monitors, but when one burned out, I had to do it. It was time to go widescreen anyway. :-) After searching and searching, I decided to give these BenQ monitors a try mainly because of the reviews (okay, and low price too). Im SO GLAD I DID! Image is crisp and sharp. They produce little to no heat and they simply look gorgeous side-by-side! By the way, dont let the look of them when you unbox them fool you. The look of the screen almost seems like a matte, black finish. It seems like an old projector screen and you think, how can this finish create a clear image? But then, when you turn them on for the first time, they simply just Wow you! Trust me, it happened to me. Wasnt expecting that at all. LOL Also, when you connect the power cable, make sure you push it all the way in. Its a little hard, but its meant to be that way so that it has a solid and stable power connection. Seriously, couldnt find any cons to this purchase... Highly recommended! Jaime Ojeda

Being on a keyboard all day, I found that my dry eye problem was becoming worse. And working off a laptop led me with too small a screen to focus on. Being on a very small budget, there wasnt much choice in options. I chose this specifically because it talked about being easier on the eyes. Hallelujah! This truly is easier on my eyes. My eyestrain is seriously reduced and my dry eyes are no longer so dry. The size is ok for my work area, which is pretty small. I sit about the length of a full-sized bed away from the screen. Further away would be too far. Closer would be uncomfortable. Plan accordingly. There are two things that are mildly disappointing to me. First is the reduced sharpness of the picture. The one on my laptop is much sharper. Im trading off the larger size and reduced eyestrain for somewhat less sharpness. Ill live with it. The second is the inevitable near lack of speaker volume. Plan to either use headphones or attach secondary speakers. I use some small, inexpensive ones that are perfectly adequate to my admittedly unsophisticated and demanding needs. I use headphones when I am editing legal transcripts. All in all, Im perfectly satisfied that the product met my requirements. If I had the ability to get a top of the line eye-care monitor, Id jump at the opportunity. But in the beggers-cant-be-choosers category, this is surprisingly adequate.

I had a 27 BenQ and bought this to pair with. After a month, Costco selling other brands were much cheaper.

Daily usage, hasnt worn out. Came in a nice box. One of the inserts is wobbly, I am fairly sure its on my desktop towers slot but then its got no signal detected until I jiggle it into place. Fairly frequent, Im getting my tower repaired soon.
