I’ve got another Benq monitor that I have had for years and has been totally reliable so bought this to replace my main screen.
The recommended resolution is only 1920×1080, so the same as my 24″ screens, however the bigger screen size and very high refresh rate make the screen really nice to look at with the text being bigger and so much less strain on my eyes.
Excellent value for money and now considering upgrading my other screens.
I have always used Dell monitors but after one expired I thought I would try the BenQ, , good allround without being as good as the Dell for photo work, and anti glare, see no difference, for the money a decent monitor without being outstanding
Have used one of these monitors for quite a while now and really appreciate the eye car facilities as when in use for work – especially during covid period when working from home all the time – I was glued to it. Now and then you become of it managing light levels, especially where the environment around it changes rapidly like storm clouds coming over quickly and affecting ambient light levels, but otherwise its imperceptable in operation. I have in fact bought another three of these for various set-ups in the family becuase we have liked them so much. However on two of these I have gone for a different height adjustable stand to replace the one provided as it worked better for where thet were to be used.
When I first attempted to switch on this monitor it wouldn’t switch on. So I naturally gave the power lead a good wiggle and it started working, I thought nothing of it. Then the next day the same issue! The kettle lead was fully inserted but you only had to gently move it left or right to hear the power connecting and disconnecting.
I pulled out the power cable and compared it to a spare one I had. Well well! The picture tells the fulls story! The cable on the left came with the monitor and the one on the right is a spare one that I had. You can see clearly in the second picture that the pins are too far embedded into the adapter vs. the one I have on the right which means they aren’t mating in the socket of the monitor.
Now take a look at the first photo. You can see my cable on the right has an end so that you know you’ve pushed the cable in as far as it needs to go. The one on the left which came with this monitor doesn’t have that.
Conclusion: Freakin great monitor for the price but would rather pay a pound more for a decent cable! It’s a pretty essential part of any monitor and the quality shouldn’t have been skimped on here!! I’ll still give you 5 stars though…
