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

    The first thing that my wife noticed as I pulled it out of the box was how little light reflected off the screen. And when we hooked it up the image quality was pretty darn great. I was pretty happy with how bright it was and then the next day, thinking it was a bit too bright for my early A.M. wake up I found out it was only at 30%. I can play World of Warcraft in the middle of the day and see the darkest of details in the game. Its amazing! And the blue light filter on it is a god send of technology, no more dry aching eyes and its easy to pull away and see the damn room in the dark. I can see why it sold out so quickly when we first got it. We had to wait a bit for my wife to get her own monitor as well.

    I bought this BenQ in March 2020 so have it for 2 1/2 yr. My constant problem has been the screen suddenly goes black and says no connection or I turn off the screen and then get this error when I turn it on. The cable into the Display Port is not working correctly. I have had to pull out the cable and insert it again, sometimes 3 or 4 times before it connects. The contrast is not sharp, just ok. It seems to be ok for eye care, I never felt any eye strain. This is my first and my last BenQ.

    This is a great monitor. Originally bought higher end 1440 monitor but my 5 yr old laptop was only capable of 1080 and refreshed at such a low rate that I was getting nauseous. Switched to this Benq monitor which is more suited to my computer, and it’s been great for the past wk - clear, no dead pixels, higher refresh rate. I use the low blue light mode in combination w auto brightness adjuster and have experienced noticeable improvement in eye fatigue after extended use. Monitor is also very responsive to computer waking up (prior monitor was not as responsive, and I had to fiddle w input selection button). Nice clean design too. Would highly recommend, esp at this price point.

    I am replacing my old iMac with a new PC but was very worried about finding a comparable screen for a reasonable price. I did a lot of research, read lists of budget editing screens, most of which were $300-$1000 -- still out of my current budget. Finally after reading tons of reviews on amazon I decided to try this one out and I am very pleased with this purchase! I got the 24 inch and played around with the settings a bit but really it was pretty great straight out of the box. I photograph portraits and weddings and I have a very vibrant style. Because of that I needed to make sure the color was pretty spot-on. I had used my husbands computer to edit a few times and found out the hard way that his screens color was way off and it can make peoples skin tones look sickly. So as soon as I get the monitor set up I pulled up images on both my iMac and the new BenQ screen and they looked very close! We actually noticed that my iMac whites are a little warmer so I pulled out a bunch of prints I have had made and started comparing and the BenQ seemed to be even More accurate to what my prints looked like! A lot of people complained that this screen is too bright, but I dont know if they have changed it since those reviews were written... it didnt seem too bright to me at all, I have it set to 100 brightness. Another reviewer posted settings to match the iMac display, but when I put the brightness level to 50 it was wayyy below the brightness of my iMac. So, I kept the settings pretty close to the automatic settings, I adjusted the gamma a little and a couple other things here and there. So I am very happy with this purchase, I will be sure to update if I have any issues or anything else to add!

    I recently started wanting a true PC setup for my streams. I had one of these monitors from a different website and loved it so much that I decided to buy a second to add a second monitor to my setup. The monitor came fast and was handled well. The packaging was well protecting the screen. The screen is so clean and clear. I have no issues with getting it to work with my setup via display port or HDMI. If you’re looking for something to just browse the internet with or to do gaming this is the perfect screen. The size is perfect for me. Would highly reccomend

    BenQ is a new brand to me, never heard of them before. But I saw the reviews and most people were raving about this one, so I thought I would give it a shot, considering the price was good on it. I bought this monitor for use with my tablet, I use it to monitor a security camera feed, as well as surf the web, watch videos, and do a little gaming. I have a 55 4K TV for my main computer, so I really only needed the monitor for the tablet. PACKAGING: The package that it comes in is certainly not thrilling to look at. It has a generic look to it to re-emphasize the fact that, you did not buy a high end monitor. However, they did package the monitor up very well in the box it came in, foam on both sides, and everything that comes with it neatly tucked away in the foam as well. WHATS INCLUDED: The box contains the monitor itself, a power cord, and a short HDMI cable. Also included, is a quick start guide, warranty sheet, and a driver disk, which also has the full product manual in PDF form. WARRANTY: BenQ monitors come with a 3-year warranty, which is pretty good! Oddly however, they changed their policy, and you no longer have to register your product with them, in order to validate your warranty. You are however, required to keep your purchase receipt as proof of ownership, if you should ever have to use your warranty. For online shoppers, that is your invoice page, take a screenshot. SETTING UP: Setting this monitor up is super simple, place monitor face down on the protective foam bag. Grab both pieces that make up the stand, connect them together, then screw in the built in nut, then push the stand into the monitor until it locks in place. What is great about this stand, is that it has a place to rout your cables for a neat install. Rout your power cable, and your data cable through the keepers within the stand, then plug them in. Then put the backing cover back on the stand, it only wants to go on properly one-way. PORTS: This monitor has the standard 3-pin computer cable port for power. This monitor comes with the ancient standard VGA port, the previous standard HDMI port, and the latest standard, Display port. It also has a speaker port, and a microphone port. I have it connected up to my tablet using HDMI at 1080P 60-hertz. SPEAKERS: Some people might not know that this monitor is a unique one, that actually comes with speakers. The built-in speakers however are pretty horrible, but this is to be expected due to the monitors size. The speakers cant be over 2-inches in diameter more then likely, which is why the sound is so weak in volume. The sound quality is terrible, the speakers do not produce quality bass, nor quality highs. The speakers pretty much just produce mid-range. Recommendation, use a pair of Edifier R1700BT bookshelf speakers, or a pair of headphones. SCREEN: The screen is an IPS (In Plane Switching) design that measures 23.8-inches diagonally from corner to corner. Unlike a TN (Twisted Nematic) panel which suffers from poor blacks, and major color distortion when viewed at an angle, IPS panels maintain quality deep rich color, with quality blacks, and practically no viewing angles. The only drawback to an IPS display, is that it has a higher response time, and as is with this screen 8ms, and is only 60 herts refresh rate, which is why its not great for gaming. GAMING: As an addition to the previous paragraph, this monitor would not be good for competitive gaming. A true gaming monitor should have a response time of 3ms or lower, and up to a 144 hertz refresh rate or better. The 8ms that this monitor supports, can cause you to see ghosting. And operating at only 60-herts, an action in the game, can happen quicker, then you can see it, which means, you have a higher chance of getting fragged in online play, rather then you doing the fragging. However, having said that, if your a non-competitive gamer, and you only play single player games like Dead Effect, or simple games like Plants Vs Zombies, this monitor will actually be fine for gaming. QUALITY: The quality that this monitor provides is pretty good for the price. While it may not be the best monitor for gaming, it does however produce rich color that actually looks really good. This monitor seems to prefer warmer tones to colors, even if I set the display to be a more cooler blue, it still is warmer then many other screens that Ive used. If your looking for a monitor that provides you 100% accurate color reproduction, this may not be the one for you. If your willing to deal with the warmer tones, then this will be just fine for you. The quality of blacks is probably one of the best Ive seen on computer monitors, there is very little light leak through on the edges, its hardly noticeable at all. With a TN panel, you would see greys instead of blacks, and there would be light leak all over the place. There are no dead pixels that I can see, and the screen is very smooth with a matt finish, which helps reduce glare. The monitor uses a thin bezel design as well, which I like. MENU: This monitor uses a simple menu system, with the use of 4-different buttons, to navigate. Its not the easiest, nor the most logical menu setup, that Ive ever used, but it works. Whats a cool however, is that the monitor displays what each button does on screen, so you dont have to look under the monitor with a flashlight to see its icon. (Icons only display on screen when in menu) I turned off all dynamic options, both brightness, and contrast, I dont need my monitor making choices on my behalf. I set the brightness to 50% and the contrast to 70%. EYECARE: This monitor comes with patented EyeCare technology. The company makes it seem so fancy in marketing. All it is, is there is a photocell under the monitor that senses light. When the light is low in the room, it darkens your screen. When the light is bright in the room, it razes the brightness of the screen. Basically, this EyeCare technology is best suited for those who stair at a screen all day in an office, and dont want to have headaches. You can turn this feature on/off in the menu. BEST SUITED FOR?: In my opinion, this monitor is best for people who do office work, production work, programming, security office camera feeds, web surfing, Youtube watching, and light gaming. Additionally, this would make a great streaming monitor as well. WHO IS THIS NOT FOR?: This monitor is not for people who are heavy gamers. Because of the naturally warmer color tones, this may not be the most accurate monitor for photo editing or video editing. However, if your not bothered by that, I still say its a good monitor for production work. WHAT WOULD I PREFER? Id prefer a menu layout that was more logical. Id prefer separate volume up and down buttons, instead of having to enter the menu to change volume. It would be nice if the monitor had a Tosslink port for audio input, most computers today have a Tosslink audio output port. Id also prefer higher quality speakers, if your going to put speakers in your monitor, do it right. And if you had a Tosslink connection, youd have a high resolution sample rate and frequency response, which could actually produce quality sound. CONCLUSION: This monitor has been working out great for me. I am actually surprised at how good the quality of the screen is, for the cost. It used to be you had to spend 400 dollars or more to get an IPS monitor of this size, Im very impressed, for the purpose I am using it for. While it may not be the best monitor, its a pretty good one for the price. Considering my usage of this monitor, I am going to give it a 5 out of 5 stars. PS: Picture of monitor showing rainbow color, is me running the tablet in Daydream COLORS mode, which is like a screensaver. And the other picture showing me playing a game on my tablet, is the game Dead Effect.

    I 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.

    My 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.

BenQ GW2780 27 inch frameless IPS monitor combines Ultra slim bezels with hidden cable management. Complementing BenQ exclusive eye-care technology with low Blue light technology and flicker-free performance for extended viewing comfort, industry-leading brightness Intelligence technology delivers exquisite details in any ambient lighting environment. BenQ patented brightness Intelligence technology sensor will automatically detect your ambient lighting surrounds and automatically adjust the screen brightness to protect your eyes from longer on screen periods.
