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

Back 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.

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.

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.

Get these regularly for our office, and 2 of these so far had the foam inside busted, a used HDMI cord with white.. paint? All over the cord. All the plastic baggies were just stuffed in the box, when normally each cord/manual has its own baggie. Dont know if these were returned and they re used them or something but was kinda iffy about using them. Luckily they still work as of now though....

I purchased this monitor to replace a 10+ old monitor on my work macbook. Im going from a 1920x1200 to 1920x1080 monitor and hate to lose the larger vertical space but thats what the majority of monitors are using these days! The only complaints I would have about this monitor are minor, 1. I perfer having an external clip behind the monitor as I have some cables that need to be run but out of the way that dont plug directly into the monitor itself (such as a camera and a mouse charging cable.) However, if this were a monitor that hat the back exposed I can see this being appealing and cleaner from both sides, just not something I would need. 2. The power button is big and bright underneath the bottom right edge of the monitor so its not obtrusive like the Xbox 1 controllers but its noticeable. If doesnt draw attention for the most part but is bigger and brighter than I would like. Neither of these is enough to ding a star since it does what I purchased it for and it looks great! Image quality is top notch (while IPS panels have a slower response time they produce much better color and image quality, Im not gaming but working so its just what the doctor ordered.) The imagine is nearly the same quality as the Macbook Pro retina display while using the proper profile. I really didnt have to do much to get it setup an working, unlike monitors of old where I could spend many hours tweaking to get just right. Im very happy with this purchase, especially since it popped up on my price watch at below $100!

I buy by warehouse 60$ in the pocket easy. i had scare first time was cheap for myself . I do Not regret REALLY , i see not default well i am not difficult lady . Thanks Warehouse AMAZON. light blue help my eyes ( astigmate and sensible pain on the monitor ) easy build heavy too! for 27 inch i see much better for me . Unique think miss me a lot, Asus have and i do not see on him ,The target for shoot for gaming like COD or may be not cheek on the setting monitor correctly But I am really happy and thanks

Easy set up. Large. Good value for the price. I have an older laptop, so I wasnt looking for a top of the line gaming monitor with the best graphics. Having the built in speakers are nice, and the monitor worked right away with plugging it into my computer. No need to download drivers from somewhere else. Would recommend!

Video 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.

Usually at this price you get a TN panel with lousy viewing angles and washed out colors. This IPS monitor has much wider viewing angles and much better color than typical TN monitors. The thin bezels and overall understated look are also nice. You also 2 digital inputs (HDMI and DP) plus analog which is more than most monitors of any type of this size and price. And its nice its certified flicker free and has low blue modes that work well. It also runs quite cool and is very energy efficient. And having a standard 100x100 VESA mount is also nice. Now for the bad news. The menu system is needlessly complicated and more like what monitors had 15 years ago. They went to the trouble to give you custom assignable buttons except theyre not one touch access, and youre limited to what you can assign each button to. You first have to hit any button (but be careful not the hit the power switch in the same row or youll shut the monitor off--the buttons are essentially unlabed) to bring up an on screen menu of what the assignable buttons do. Then you can hit the button you want, then you often have to either hit it multiple times or use the arrow buttons to navigate to what youre trying to get to. So much for quick access. Using the regular menus dives even deeper into button pressing frustration. So if you had fantasies about saying assigning Button 1 to be the HDMI input and Button 2 to be the Display Port input think again. You press any button (except power), then the button programed to be Input (which can ONLY be button 2), then you press again one or more times to select the input you want round-robin-style, then you press the check mark (apply) button. So what could have been one press of a single button instead requires up to 5 presses of multiple buttons. Its typical Taiwanese/Chinese poor user interface design. Auto brightness is really useful and reduces eye strain but the Eye Care Bright Intelligence has been rendered all but useless by more poor design. Every time the monitor detects the slightest change in ambient light it pops up a rather large annoying graphic with a stupid large eye on it in the lower right corner for a good 5 or 10 seconds to tell you it ever so slightly adjusted the brightness! Even with the sensitivity turned all the way down, even just the reflection of whats being displayed (say a screen with lots of white vs a dark screen) while wearing a light colored shirt triggers these frequent and highly annoying pop ups. Really BenQ? Why they had to ruin a perfectly good feature by constantly advertising it Ill never understand. Also, while the color gamut and dynamic range of this monitor is better than most TN panels, it falls far short short of what you want for serious photo and/or video editing. The backlight uniformity is also not all that great with some bleed and halo effect. In these regards you get what you pay for. But theres no excuse for the auto brightness pop up. The could have just left some code out of the firmware and it would be a great feature but instead they made it so annoying I doubt many will use it.

This monitor is really bright, And it is worth mentioning that Its bezels are so much smaller than I thought they would be. If you are looking for a sleek daily driver monitor this is the one. Its worthy to note that the eye care features work but I usually turn them off. One minor thing that I really liked was the ease of cable management at the back. This monitor Is huge too, It is such a ease to my eyes to not have to strain my eyes on a small screen. My only disappointment with this monitor was the light that bleeds, Giving a gross yellow color on the sides of the screens while it displays black
