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

Im not a gamer, I bought it because I watch most things on my laptop and wanted a bigger screen. Really enjoying it!

Ive read a lot about the color reproduction being less than great and the lighting to be too low. Out of the box, the brightness was set to 85, lowered it to 75 and its perfect for my office. Ive tested the eye relief function and seems to work well. Blacks are pretty faithfully reproduced, minimal light leakage around the bottom bezel. Color reproduction is pretty great for this price range and video and games are vivid. I tested Doom, Skyrim, and (dont judge me) Minecraft and they all seem pretty clear. Doom is faster paced and the refresh rat at 60hz is not too shabby. I know 75 and up is the standard for gaming right now, but there isnt much visible difference in my opinion. Im happy with the build quality as well. It is all plastic construction, but sturdy.

I basically bought this because of Evans review. I also have a background in photography so hearing him say how decent it was spurred me to purchase it. My last monitor was some cheapo Best Buy garbage just so I could have a monitor. This naturally is leagues ahead. When looking at the photos I did in University using an iMac and comparing them to this monitor and my prints, I do feel like the vibrance is a just a tad too high, but its default settings are quite similar to what I used to use back then. The menu buttons blow my mind because it actually tells you what they do instead of the BB monitor where pressing them was a guessing game on how to navigate. Certain features seem to be locked an unavailable for adjustments, so I cant reduce the vibrancy on the monitor for whatever reason. My biggest complaint is the idea that I had to spend an extra $50 for a taller monitor because Im taller than most people, that just feels crappy. Also the Amazon community said you can adjust the height of the stand? But Im not seeing any clue on how and the manual doesnt explain this either. I just need it like, 2 inches shorter. Otherwise, I love and enjoy the monitor but the extra $50 left a sour taste in my mouth.

Ive got two of these now for my stream room theyre great for secondary monitors the sound quality is God awful but I dont use it for that so its a great product!!

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.

Ive had this monitor for about two years now and its perfect. I have a smaller desk and it fits rather nicely. The display is smooth. This product is marketed perfectly, it does everything it claims. Definitely worth the price. :)

When I compare this screen to my old one, there is hardly a comparison because this one is so much better. It is bright and colors just jump. My old eyes appreciate the improvement. My only complaint is the touchy electrical connection. If I bump it in the slightest, off it goes. It has to be just so or youve got nothing. Also, there is a little plastic cover over the shaft where the electrical cord goes. It is useless and fall behind the desk at the first opportunity. Other than those two small things, I love it.

The BENQ Monitor exceeds all my expectations for an ideal gaming monitor. The picture is crisp. The settings are user friendly making it easy to adjust to gaming settings. The sound is not great but it almost gets louder over time, and sounds just fine for me excluding music quality. The gaming mode setting is a really cool adjustment. The screen lets off a beautiful LED picture. The brightness adjustment setting is super great. I have sensitive eyes and can’t stare at screens for long although that’s not ever the case with that BenQ. Great purchase !

As a software with hardware integrator the BENQ 2480 monitor works well and looks great with the hi res graphics in our products,

To start, you have to enable the automatic light adjustment before it actually will adjust itself. Since day one, the monitor adjusts perfectly in all lighting conditions from a pitch black room to the sun flooding the room with light. It does take a pinch to adjust to. At first it might seem like its too dim, but as you use it, youll notice its just right. Speakers... i mean if you have no other option, theyre there, cant get very loud at all but in a pinch would help you out. The best feature in my eyes quite literally is the lack of eye strain. I dont know exactly what causes it but I havent had it since I used this monitor. To give an example. On my old monitor, I could use it for even as little as one hour and suddenly would get this sensation like i just couldnt keep my eyes open. My eyes felt annoyingly sensitive to light and Id have to walk away or take a nap to let my eyes recuperate.
