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

Was able to buy these while they were on sale and they have performed beyond my expectations. I purchased two and wished I had purchased three. The room adaptive light feature works great and I very much like it. I didnt rate this for gaming because I dont use it for that but I cant imagine why it wouldnt perform equally well. I do a great deal of graphic work and though the computer these are connected to is not the computer I use do most of my graphics, I do use these monitors do quality control tests on graphics and video. As I stated in my headline, these are a great value.

Pros: - 3 inputs: VGA, HDMI, DP - has speakers - Ambient light sensor - VESA 100 - Narrow bezel - Stand with cable management - Bright IPS and nice colors - Good OSD with DDC/CI (this is when you can adjust settings via software, in addition to the monitor buttons) Cons: - Only 60 Hz - Matte finish, not glossy (just my personal taste, although some people might find this a plus) Generally good feature set compared to similarly priced models. Honestly I had in mind other monitors but they were either out of stock or had issues with the connector locations when mounting to VESA 75 (meaning the mount plate on my VESA 100/75 dual monitor stand would block the connectors on a VESA 75 monitor, specifically the Philips 246E9QDSB). In any case, I settled for this one and cant complain. Im sure you can find others at this price range just as good or perhaps trading off features such as 75 Hz but only with two inputs for example. Or maybe no IPS or not VESA compatible. I use this for basic desktop applications, work, etc. Not a gaming monitor, although if you are not a hardcore gamer you may get away with this. If you have an nVidia card you can set the RGB dynamic range from 16-235 to 0-255. This means that youll use the full color gamut the monitor can handle and get (marginally) better contrast and more colors. Not a massive noticeable improvement, but its there. Image is pretty good and even (not much backlight bleed). The monitor is 60 Hz out of the box but I overclocked it to 75 Hz using the nVidia control panel. You can verify your refresh rate. I searched online for hz checker and used www.testufo.com. I confirmed the before and after refresh and it works fine. Do it at your own risk as I dont know anything about overclocking monitor refresh rate. The last thing Im gonna say is not necessarily specific to this monitor, but it grinds my gears that its so hard to find a gloss finish monitor this days. Most are matte finish. I personally prefer gloss because the colors tend to be more vivid. Reflections dont bother me as much as the washed out color effect you get on a matte monitor.

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 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.

Exactly what I wanted for a second monitor. Keep in mind the hdmi that comes with it was a little short for me. Has a great viewing angle and works perfectly.

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.

Works well with iPad Air. BUT there is no manual other than set up instructions!

I bought this monitor in April of 2021 and a few months later had my first experience of turning it on and the screen was rapidly pulsing. I called customer support and they led me through thirty minutes of troubleshooting that did not solve it. I was out of the return window with Amazon. Four days later I turned it on and it was fine. Fast forward another few months and same problem, wait a few days its back to normal. This cycle continued over and over. I contacted customer support a second time in mid October 2022 and ended up paying $20 to package and ship (they paid shipping) it back to them to fix. I just got it back and its working great - I hope it stays that way.

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

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.
