BenQ PD2700U Color Accurate Design Monitor 27 4K UHD | 100% Rec.709 & sRGB | IPS | Delta E ≤3 | Calibration Report | AQCOLOR | Pantone | Ergonomic | Speakers | DisplayPort | Daisychain | USB Hub Gray

I have been looking at this monitor for over 2 years. All the flickering complaints had me sitting on it, and not ordering. I was looking at the PD3220U, which in May was still simply not in stock. And it was more money by a long shot as well. My primary monitor (Dell 6007WFP HC) finally died one day, and I needed a monitor. So, order it I did. Mine is as perfect as it can get. I havent calibrated it, but Im a photographer, and I can tell you the colors are very close. Its brigher than you need. Color and contrast is excellent. I dont notice any backlight bleed. There is NO flickering. Not once has it flickered. Ive had it for several months, BTW. Ive used display port and HDMI, both work wll at 4k 60 Hz. I like the puck for adjustment. Its quite flexible. I love this monitor. Win 10 is not wonderful with 4k panels in terms of scaling things. Quicken and some other apps they way they scale arent perfect. But none of that is the monitors fault, and honestly, everything I use works well enough at this point. If youve been thinking of this monitor, give it a go. Its great.

I am giving this monitor two stars only because I was shipped a used and faulty monitor! My order was fulfilled by Amazon LLC. and arrived with fingerprints on the case and screen as well as a dead pixel. The later is presumably why it was returned in the first place. If you choose to buy this monitor from Amazon test it THOROUGHLY before your month is up. BenQ does also warranty their monitors for several years but I am unsure if that extends to Amazon sales and what the process is exactly. Honestly, I would suggest purchasing a monitor from BenQ directly. As for the monitor: - Build quality is definitely on a professional level. - Screen quality is also on point. WQHD at 27 inches is a beautiful image, however, 27 inches is a BIG monitor so keep that in mind for your use. Maybe check some out locally or look up some pictures online. - The bezel was not as obnoxious as I expected and I did not notice it at all during use. I have also used the BenQ SW240 (amazing monitor) which has the ultra thin bezel and it is very aesthetically pleasing. Practically, the thicker bezel is fine and didnt affect my use but I hope BenQ (and other manufacturers) move towards bezel-less with all of their monitors. - Reliable color accuracy is why I chose to go with BenQ for my monitor and while I didnt do any testing myself I read a very through review at TomsHardware, definitely worth reading if youre considering this monitor. Overall, the ONLY reason I rated this so low is because someone dropped the ball hard on sending out not only used but also defective monitor.

Ive been using this monitor for more than a year now and I can say that its a very good monitor, almost great but couple of minor flaws dont let me call it that way. It is my first 4k monitor, previously I used only FullHD ones. But when I switched to MacBooks from windows laptops, I realized that MacBook + FullHD monitor is a shitty combination because of difference in picture quality. MacBooks have retina screens with high resolution and ppi. Thats why I started to look for a 4K monitor which will play nicely with my MacBook and finally decided to purchase BenQ PD2700U. Pros: - great picture quality - not expensive - good build quality - a lot of ports on the back Cons: - its heavy - monitor stand is big and takes a lot of space on your table and if you dont have a deep table, consider purchasing a monitor arm - speakers are abysmal (this is expected, almost all monitor speakers sound like garbage) - dont have a usb-c cable included (you need to purchase an extra usb-c to hdmi or usb-c to display port cable, if you want to connect it to a MacBook) Overall it was a good experience and I noticed that my productivity increased when I started using a big monitor with good picture quality. I recommend this monitor to anyone who is looking for a not expensive 4K monitor with great picture quality.

I needed a monitor to connect my 15 in MacBook for two reasons. 1-) A great quality monitor was needed for my daily visual projects (Photoshop and CAD softwares ). 2-) I used to deal with neck pains and headaches with my MacBook Pro. Im using this monitor for two weeks and all the aspects that I was expecting are checked; - True colors, great sharpness for CAD drawing and photoshopping. - 100% compatible with my MacBook. I plug and unplug the cable (mini display to usb-c) on my computer many times during the day and boom! my desktop view is on the screen in a second evertime I plug it. This was super important for me and I had to eliminate lots of monitor models for this reason. - The height adjustable stand is just a life saver. - It doesnt have a usb-c connection but the Mini DisplayPort is just does the job. - User friendly menu. Its straight forward. I didnt need to read the user guide. The only thing that I surprised was how the speakers sound terrible but I dont use / need them. All in all, I am so pleased with my monitor and definitely recommend it to everyone who are in my situation, looking for a good monitor but not too expensive one. Btw, I compared to my wifes 2020 27 in iMac and would say they are pretty similer in terms of the display quality.

Pros: Stand is solid. Build quality is excellent. Great color accuracy. Very bright. CAD mode is nice. Cons: Monitor has some vertical brightness imbalance. Only really noticeable on solid colored backgrounds. Not really noticeable on CAD/high contrast mode. Probably due to VA panel, and its size, as it is also not very noticeable when you adjust your head to look at it at a direct angle. A much more noticeable issue is, at full resolution, connected through either HDMI or DisplayPort, monitor has a scanning issue. There are websites that help you perform this test: you need to render a picture that simply alternates between white and black pixels at full resolution. Then you can shrink that picture slowly vertically, by grabbing the top and sliding down, and once it reaches less than half of the vertical space of the monitor, the monitor displays horizontal artifacts on the screen for the whole width of the monitor. I do not know what part of the monitor causes the issue, but it is not the cable or video card, it is definitely the monitor. Less artifacts are displayed as you lower the sharpness, but since the sharpness only goes down to 1, the issue remains all the time. It happens in all modes: sRGB, CAD, etc. Less artifacts are also displayed if you shrink the image horizontally, and the issue does disappear if the image gets small enough. Conclusion: If you can get used to the viewing angles of a large VA panel, and you do not often view images that alternate between black and white pixels, you may find this monitor to be perfect. It almost is. But if you do a lot of pixel accurate work, you should avoid this monitor, because you would encounter the pixel scanning issue all the time.

I purchased this monitor because I work a lot with photography and video editing + color correction. Its been a couple of months and I have no complaints. Brightness is more than enough for me, in fact I never use it above 60% even during the day. In the nights Ill use it between 20 - 30% depending on what Im doing. And although the main purpose was working on Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere and after effects, I have also tested it with different steam games, and they look beautiful, at least in my opinion. Great colors but not over saturated. Its not marketed as a gaming monitor mostly because its only 60hz, but that to me its more than enough as a casual gamer. I have even connected my switch to it and everything looks great. Also its a great device to consume any kind of video content (Youtube, Netflix, Prime Video, etc). I would definitely recommend this one!

I switched from a 28 ASUS PBPB287Q which I used for photo editing to the BENQ PD3200U 32 monitor. The BENQ is clearer at 3840 resolution because of the larger screen size. I also use it to play PC games at 60hz which is fine for me. Games played - Red Dead Redemption II, Cyberpunk 2077, MS Flight Sim. I was a little worried that 32 might be too big to see the whole screen, and it is if your eyes are less than about 22 away from the screen. But if you sit about 2 feet away you will be fine.

Holy moly, this is a killer screen. Blessed be Wirecutter. This is the first non-Apple display I’ve purchased since I upgraded to a Cinema Display from a tiny 4x3 Dell abomination. Colour accuracy is on point. Pixels are big enough that I can run OSX at 1x and still read the screen. Windows 10 looks great on this display (can’t believe i just typed that). Five star screen. It’s well built and feels solid. The included base is pretty big, but it does the trick and is flat enough to put stuff on. I highly recommend pairing this display with the

May 2022: The issue persists, with the addition of the burn-in effect for the entire screen area. The burn-in starts to show after several hours of static inputs and does go away after 10 min or so of normal usage, so its non-permanent. But, I would expect to see it getting worse in the future. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- April 2020: Everything works fine except at the bottom right corner, where horizontal white slashes starts to show. This issue is not obvious when using dark background and theme color, but does come up quite noticeable with white/bright background and theme. TBH it does not mean anything significant to me since I mostly do gaming, web-browsing, video steaming, coding, and some non-serious photo editing for upload to social media, but an issue is an issue. If you dont mind minor stuff like this coming up to you after 3 years of usage, I would still recommend this monitor for its sturdy stand, port availability, and image quality. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- August 2019 Has been almost two years since when I bought this monitor, and everything still works as it should. Love the color, build quality, and everything about it.

Very high quality monitor for photography/video editing, sRGB color preset is accurate and clearly was calibrated which is a great feature. Not a gaming monitor by any means, but the input delay is not bad, just doesnt have gsync and is only 60hz. IPS display is beautiful and has good viewing angles, no complaints. If youre using HDMI, MAKE SURE TO ENABLE FULL DYNAMIC RANGE IN NVIDIA SETTINGS (adjust resolution tab) otherwise everything looks washed out and awful Love the optional feature that reminds you to give your eyes a rest after staring at it for 30 mins. Im sure theres apps that do similar but built into the monitor means it bypasses fullscreen applications like games and f.lux so its always clear and visible.
