BenQ GW2475H Computer Monitor 24 FHD 1080p | IPS | Wide-Viewing Angle | Low Blue Light | Eye-Care Tech | Flicker-Free | ePaper Mode | Tilt Screen | Headphone Jack | HDMI | VGA

I got this monitor for Christmas and I got to say I am really pleased with it. It really delivers what I was looking for. The colors are accurate and the set up is easy. On games I am use to the 60 refresh rate and found it to be free of anything that would subtract from the experience. I would recommend headphones as the monitor output sucks.

I just received this monitor and I was very pleased with the ease of setting it up and the picture quality. I connected it to my MacBook Pro using the included Usb-C cable. The size of the display (32) is impressive, the clarity and brightness are superb. I am extremely pleased with my purchase, especially since I originally saw another comparable BenQ display for $1100. I didnt want to spend that much, and fortunately I didnt need to. This one is perfect!

Theres a glut of cheap 4k monitors, and quite frankly so far they havent been very impressive. I picked this up for $450 on a cyber monday deal and after plenty of delays it finally arrived. Simply put, next to my LG panel IPS 27 1440p display and my ancient but sturdy Dell Ultrasharp 2405FPW, its the weakest display. The resolution is fantastic. The size is great. The feature set is solid with multiple ports (I only need one but whatever) and USB 3.1c hub (sans some of the more extreme features like a SD card slot). FRC is nice, although it only supports 40hz-60hz meaning not an extreme range but still welcome. That said: Stick this next to a 27 inch iMac from yesteryear it looks cheap and its entirely due to the lack of uniformity on the panel. First theres the very striking shadow across the top 1/8inch of the screen. Then theres the color shift, no matter where you head is, just scanning across a uniform color shows the weakness of the panel as flat color looks anything but flat. Fast scrolls also reveal the overzealous low latency correction (you can see bizarre ghosting of red on a white background as a yellow halo). Also strangely, Mac OS doesnt seem to want to detect the scaling resolutions, (not a big deal as you can option click the scaled resolutions). Precision color this is not. If youre not a discerning type, this probably is a good enough for many users although I find the color shift supremely annoying. Basically, if youre happy with this display, never stick it next to a quality display as youll become very unhappy with it. Also I couldnt seem to get in Windows 10-bit to work at 60 Hz, which makes me believe that its only available at 30 Hz. In any case, its not true 10 bit as its an 8-bit panel with FRC, meaning, it accepts the 10-bit color space and simulates colors by switching between nearest-neighbors in the 8 bit range between each cycle. Over all, though the monitor is much easier to assemble/disassemble which will make my return quick and easy than other displays. I guess you get what you pay for, the BenQ PD3200u even at $200 more than the EW3270Us current price seems like money supremely well spent. Its IPS or bust at the 32 inch size as its too easy to see the color shifting.... /edit: looks like someone didn’t like this review and it was flagged for sensitivity?

The right price, the quality is very good, and the speakers are also very good. I usually use it to play switch.

After 4 27 inch IPS panel returns with issues, I finally decided to get a big cheap VA. This is the greatest monitor Ive ever used. In terms of color pop and ease on the eyes, its mind blowing how good it is. Not sure about HDR but I just leave the emulated on. The colors are too good. This is fantastic eye candy productivity screen with no nonsense like gamer branding. I will update this review but my first impressions is this is the monitor Ive been looking for. Contrast and viewing angles are not bad at all. Basically IPS in terms of usability, but not in terms of consistent accuracy. At least its not like a TN where you literally cant see the text on the screen from an angle without straining your eyes. 32 inches will have you push it towards the back of the desk where its not a problem anyways. Very pleased with this product.

First, the like.. The monitors size and screen contrast. Very sleek monitor. I have a very large desk. One of the reasons I went for the size. Now, I have a PlayStation 4 Pro and it’s very easy to setup. Enough ports to charge everything.. Now, my only gripe, the menu. Very tedious.. Having to click a small button 4,5,6 times to get to the menu I need is annoying but, I did know this was the downfall before purchase. The 4K display has “emulated” HDR which varies between games. Fantastic for some, a weird purple haze on others. You can control the emulation but, it also gets annoying. All in all, I do think the BenQ is a fantastic monitor and well worth the price “IF” it’s a display for your PlayStation or your Xbox.

With every spec I was looking for a relatively good price, and mostly excellent reviews on Amazon, I had high hopes for this display. However, lousy viewing angles brought me down to earth quickly. Advertised as 178 degree viewing angle, I was surprised to find a gleaming glow washed out blacks when not viewed straight-on. The 3000:1 contrast promised exceptional black levels, but unfortunately it sure didn’t look that way from my eyes. With such a big screen. The sides of the display are at a significant angle from my eyes looking straight on from normal desk viewing distance. Furthermore, if I got up from my chair the screen looked blown out from a slight vertical angle. Basically the whole image looked gleamy and weird, blacks looking silvery at modest angles, and the whites tending to look blown out. Playing full screen video looked pretty good, as did playing a game on PS4. But for my primary purpose, using it as a monitor for my Mac mini, the interface - windows and menus, looked bad to me. The dark mode windows suffered from the gleamy VA angles. Being spoiled by a lot of pristine images from an iMac at work, or iPad, where images look nearly printed on the glass, the BenQ just looked wrong, lacking a solid looking image. After much adjusting and getting used to the angles, it looked decent, but not satisfying, certainly not breathtaking. I saw a sale price on an LG 32MU99 ips panel, which had everything I was looking for, but lacking true 10 bit color and a lower 1200:1 contrast ratio, and $150 higher price. I got it, and the moment I switched I was exhilarated by the improvement. My Mac felt like a Mac again, with a solid, stable, true image that looked the same from side to side and up and down. I wasn’t trying to like it and reminding myself of the excellent specs, it just looked spectacular out of the box, and while not up to a 5k iMac display, pretty darn close. And the slimmer bezels and design look a lot better in room than the industrial, if non-offensive matte black plastic of the BenQ, which looked bulky and harsh. So back goes the BenQ. I don’t argue with the many excellent reviews, again when playing full screen video it looked great coming from 1080p. But I’m glad I upped my price limit and got the LG instead. IPS looks so much better to my eyes.

This was well priced for a 2K/27 inch monitor and provides a lovely, configurable picture. Has speakers, which I wanted, which is adequate. Doesnt have USB or usb hub which I would have liked. theres a sticky out bit underneath which looks like it would contain an IR receiver but doesnt seem to serve a purpose so just looks a bit ugly. Stand is sleek and sturdy. Overall recommended. n.b. Im on a mission to write genuine reviews (too many fake ones). I genuinely purchased this item with my own money without incentive or connection to the seller/manufacturer. If you find my review useful, please click helpful so I know, thanks.

This was a real letdown, coming from a 6 year old LG IPS panel (27EA31). Its a good size for gaming, movies and graphical work and the color performance is good right out of the box, but the nature of the VA panel and iffy uniformity just kills it for any kind of art, video or photo applications. Sitting in front of this display, even at dead-on center with a 50% grey full screen image, is like looking down a well of shadow. Oddly reminiscent of Samsung AMOLED phone screens, true black pixels never shift or suffer from off-angle issues because theres no light coming through, so if you have a color or monochrome image that has any real black, that part will remain jet-black while the rest of it shifts and lightens if you move off-center. Its a little weird -- and I assume its how they claim those amazing contrast numbers. Theyre tricking the tests. Color is accurate as long as you stay absolutely still and face the monitor with optimal angles, but if you so much as incline your head a bit in any direction the levels shift. Its almost like a TN or ancient STN display, like you got on old PDA devices where the viewing angle was different from your left eye to the right. It really is that bad. HDR is funky and changes settings, most of which you cannot adjust to taste, so it has limited practical use. Backlight uniformity is lacking, too. A grey image showed dirty screen effect and there were obvious darker bands/lines running vertically. Not sure if this is due to the coating/texture of the matte screen or what, but Ive noticed other BenQ models get dinged for this issue. If all I was ever going to do was play games and watch movies, this might be fine. The display is bright enough, despite that being a common criticism and contrast is good as long as you dont incline or move your head too much... But any time I load Photoshop or any other graphic editor the color-bleaching viewing angles and uniformity problem are dealbreakers.

This monitor has really impressed. The 32” size and picture quality is great. The added screen real estate has really helped reduced eye and neck strain. A couple of caveats: 1) If using with a MacBook make sure to turn off the HDR setting in the MacOS display settings. Having that setting on makes the screen behave like there’s a privacy screen installed and the viewing angle is very limited and hazy (this is not limited to just this screen, I’ve heard of other HDR monitors with this issue when used with a MacBook). 2) The stand is not height adjustable (only tilts back and forth).
