Colour accuracy is great, resolution is goo but there is little bit light bleeding from the corners that I don’t appreciate and also it’s not as bright as I would like.
This monitor has exceeded my expectations. I bought it as an alternative to the Apple brand monitor that costs twice as much. It’s has an excellent picture quality, good colour rendering, very good feature set and a decent set of cables with it.
This thing is amazing for the money ! Set up & hooked it up to my M3 MacBook Air 5 minutes after it came out the box. A absolute bargain & would recommend to anyone with a mac who doesn’t want to spend the best part of 2 grand on an overpriced Apple display. The stand & the puck are fantastic features as well & every lead you will ever need for it is also supplied. A lot of bang for your buck here & can’t recommend this enough.
This product worked 100% percent for me in everything I have asked it to do. Some photographic work and general internet use. After only a few days from setting up there is still a lot to do. Speakers are not the best so suggest a pair of bluetooth small speakers will enhance any audio that one may need associated with this monitor. Overall very satisfied and comfortable with the 5 star rating.
Going from a 2020 iMac 27 inch, I can’t believe how poor the speakers are in this model. Most people say they are good but you really do need to buy external speakers or use headphones. I wish the numerous Youtube reviewers who had this sent to them for free were more honest….
Quality monitor for the money. I don’t use it for gaming but Im sure if I did it would be more than adequate. Connecting to an Apple Mini Mac, only use the HDMI cable. I connected all three cables as they were included and confused the monitor and myself. By only using HDMI the screen powers up just by clicking the mouse or keyboard. If you add the USB and USB-C you have to use the toggle key at the back to select which connection cable you want to use. Not used the round thing to adjust colour as perfect out of the box.
Purchased because it was designed to use for designers on software. It’s a good screen, and works well with Mac. However, it is frustrating that the Mac resolution means I can’t use it in 4k without the screen resizing and everything appears far too small. So while it says 4k you probably will not be able to run it at full res. Quality is decent and it definitely feels it compared to my other monitor.
Honestly, I didn’t like this at first. The packaging and initial setup were fine and on initial thoughts, there was a lot too.love about the monitor. However, connected to a Mac I found some programs didn’t play nice with it (Adobe Illustrator for one) and it flickered. I also couldn’t get the screen to match my MacBook Pro (M1 Max) after messing about with it a while, putting it in the specific MacBook setting. I downloaded DisplayPilot from BenQ and things were a lot better as you get more granular and easier control and can also match the ICC Sync settings of your Mac.
That said, as great as I now find the monitor, it won’t match the brightness of the MacBook Pro and its Mini LED screen so don’t expect it to. I’ve got used to the slight difference but have managed to get it pretty decent, especially for design and video/rendering purposes using the DisplayPilot software.
Overall, it’ a great monitor for the price – it won’t match a 1k+ monitor but the features, ports, looks and pretty great screen are fantastic for the price. The Puck is great too – I can swap between Mac and Windows easily rather than reaching round the back of the monitor each time and the USB-C connection is great too. 4K is a bit small text size wise so I have mine set to 3008 x 1692 which is a happy medium and allows plenty of room for artboards and pallets on screen without squinting to see teeny tiny text when it’s at 3840×2160.
Overall – pretty happy with it – despite the initial niggles that nearly made me send it back. Stick with it, customise the settings yourself and you’ll find it a great monitor. =)
Most review say 1080p is fine for 24″ screens, but I tried some admittedly budget Dell monitors in that category and they looked very soft. These on the other hand are lovely and crisp. As others have mentioned the bezels are big and the energy star rating is poor, but the screens are amazing!
I have two of these monitors for design work and they are very good.
Lots of inputs, great colours and crystal clear.
Don’t rely on the sound though as it’s very poor.
Bought at a good price, for use mainly in portrait orientation. Fits the bill very well. The only problem I have is where to place it within my setup (not a comment about the quality of the monitor).
Great monitor, resolution, contrast and brightness are very good. The design is few years old but screen capabilities are still very good and on top of that there is lots of slots you can utilize and monitor comes with quite a few different cables to enable best connectivity.
For the price you pay this is amazing for a photographer, sharp true to life colours, easy to calibrate to your printer, after trawling lots of reviews of more expensive models I didn’t regret buying this one bit, just buy it and see for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
Needed a monitor for colour grading, editing and so on…this one was within my budget and I’m happy with it! Nice colour out of the box, and works fine for occansional gaming – there’s a response time setting that seems to work well enough
Best value 2K monitor on the market
Great quality n, real RGB colours ,so happy with the price & quality of this monitor
highly recommended for any creative. I use it for photo editing & I know im getting my colours right with this monito
Bought this as a second monitoring for work-from-home activities after my old Ilyama gave up the ghost.
A large selection of connectors from hdmi(1), DVI, D-sub and Display port.
I was also after a monitoring that would rotate 90 degrees which is great for document reviews/reading.
Colour quality looked great without any modifications out of the box, but still need to investigate / play around.
Not used heavily for gaming yet as been a bit too busy, but from a quick outlook is more than capable for my gaming needs (single player non-mmorpg).
Used for graphics/photo work on a WIN10 desktop.
Pros; sturdy base, colour accurate, built in USB hub, plenty of video input options, no edge bleeding or dead pixels.
Cons; mediocre speakers (if that is important to you)
Overall; good value at this price point happy to recommend
I don’t game so can’t comment on that. I do edit photos and videos and this screen is just lovely. Being able to turn it to a portrait stance is a actually incredibly handy, especially for editing for a mobile phone.
Cannot fault this product. For the price it’s probably the best all-purpose monitor around. Don’t do gaming though so no idea what it’s like for that.
So impressed with this that I am getting another to replace my ageing Dell, which is same resolution but 4″ bigger.
I’m a photographer and bought this display to edit my pictures on as I need a colour accurate display that can display 100% of the sRGB colour space. What a monitor this is. The colours are incredible and the resolution is fab, resulting in a sharp, accurate image, which is exactly what I wanted. It even came with a calibration report from Benq, showing how close the display is to being fully accurate, which I was very impressed with. I would recommend this to all photographers out there!
It is a very nise monitor! Easy to assemble and nice bild quality.
The only issue I have with mine is that it came with EU power lead (which is not a big deal)
Apart from that, everything is perfec
I bought this to replace an LG 27in 4K monitor and I’m amazed! The colour accuracy is amazing! sRGB using the Mac OS colour profile makes your photos look so beautiful. They look like a national geographic book. I preferred it to the 4K monitor as that was always set at 1440p anyway since the text was too small. So basically this monitor is more useful, half the price and so accurate. We’ve got an LG 4K oled tv and the colours are as vibrant, accurate and natural. Buying another one! It’s the best monitor for day to day work I’ve ever seen…
An excellent monitor. The only downside is that getting the picture 100% right takes quite a bit of fiddling in both the monitor’s settings and (in my case) Intel’s graphics controls.
what a great screen – easy to put together and setup, and it has all the common inputs, vga, dvi, hdmi and display port. The adjustments up/down tilt and swivel, and rotate into portrait are all finger light yet it’s stable and stays where you put it. The screen colours are bright without glare, and the OSD easy to use and navigate. Can’t fault it.
