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

Materials, features, quality and packaging are all top-rated. Absolutely no complaints on that. Or maybe one little thing: whenever it starts to receive input, it should show the resolution and refresh rate of the signal. That is extremely useful for pro and geek users. The reason Im giving 4 stars is that this monitor is slow to operate. It has 4 inputs - 1x USB-C, 1x DP, and 2x HDMI. Guess what? I use it with 2 devices and I need to switch input among them. The automatic input detection feature doesnt work because one device is turned on all the time (never stops sending signal). So I need to control manually. The buttons take 1s to answer, which is just too much for the smartphone era of responsive interfaces. And whenever the monitor looses signal because some device is turned off, the screen goes off (not blank - really off) and then there is 3s to 5s without any response from the buttons or for input to be detected. Painful! The monitor is also slow to detect resolution changes, which makes it bad for looking at workstation startup screens that switch between text and low-resolution screens. If you need to press a bios key, you have to know upfront or just plug a VGA monitor just for that. This seems to be a norm in the industry. Nobody cares about setup and configuration UX. They only care about image, refresh rate, etc.

Outstanding monitor, very clear, sharp and good colors. I use it in low blue light/multimedia mode, still great quality. Used with apple OS, via usb-c mode, very happy, no problems. Gaming, web surfing, video watching, all great. Only downside is the monitor is not height adjustable and had to get a stand. Other than that, a great monitor with tons of features. Awesome value.

This is what Id call just an okay VA panel. It looks pretty good on axis at a distance but the viewing angle is not good enough at regular seated desk distances. Even straight on, youll see some color shift in the corners of the display. I find this very distracting in any darker content, games, photo editing, dark themed text editors, etc. Its far from the worst VA panel in this regard but I have also seen better. In testing this, I found the color depth reported in the EDID table is 8-bit, which is rather disappointing for a 10-bit panel. Its not clear if this is actually a 10-bit VA panel or 8-bit with FRC, but if your input device only connects with 8-bit you cant take advantage of either. When I did override the EDID, I was able to get a 10-bit input displayed but I imagine most users of this monitor are simply using it in 8-bit mode. The stand is bad but also easy to replace. The monitor itself is pretty well built so just plan to replace the stand if you need any flexibility and things should work fine. If you are mostly using this at TV distances, Id recommend it for use in darker rooms due to the low peak brightness. Its got very good color range and contrast if you are far enough away to stay in the viewing angle sweet spot. 10-bit color isnt needed for most uses. HDR is pretty useless here but it does technically work if you override the EDID color depth and dont expect accurate brightness representation (no LCD can do this without full array local dimming and this monitor is uniformly backlit).

I had been wanting a 4k monitor for some time, but hesitated due to needing a new computer with a good graphics card to support it, and the problem of having all photos shrink to 1/4 their size on the screen. This turned out to be the most significant upgrade in my 18 years of dealing with computers. I set the photo viewer to open to actual size, so photos that used to be limited to the screen size now are finally able to open at full resolution. But the best thing about this is the screen real estate. Previously I had to shingle multiple windows to fit them all on the screen - now they are spread out so it isnt necessary to click on one corner to move them to the foreground. I did my homework - this is probably the best 4K monitor available for the money. Look at the reviews - and heres one more.

Saw this was 4K, financed it, made the purchase a hell of a lot easier. 60 frames at 4K, which is fine by me. Use it for my PC, switch and PS5. Also the size of the screen makes it feel like I have two monitors.

The picture quality is stunning for an IPS LCD, as well as the 3 HDMI ports, thin bezels, as well as the different implementations of HDR. Looks great for gaming as well for business. Cant go back to a regular 8 bit color LCD. Blacks are deep, whites are paper white and uniform. Although the monitor will need calibration (via your graphics driver or windows). Once complete though the color is very vivid and isnt over saturated.

This monitor is *chefs kiss*. I Bought the EW2480. I am amazed and absolutely in love. The size, the clarity, the picture quality - everything is just the icing on the cake. Speakers are great! As for the HDR I cant decide between it being a gimmick or HDR..it improves picture quality yes but it just seems like a preset of picture settings? Casual non competitive gaming is great on this so dont fret or be scared away. This monitor is a very quality build for $180 (thats with tax) and to think I almost went with an Asus monitor thats 10 years old...for the same price..and not even a quality build. I also almost went with the GW2480 to save money but soooo glad I didnt. This monitor is a dream.

The monitor was easy to set up and delivers a great image. Unfortunately after about 30 days of use it developed a vertical line with missing green pixels. I reported this to BenQ support along with a photo of showing the defect. They immediately offered to replace the monitor and pay shipping both ways. The new monitor arrived quickly and has been working great.

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!

Purchased this to go along with my 2015 iMac. Few things to understand, buy a displayport to thunderbolt2 cable. Only truly supported option for full resolution on this generation of Mac. The size of the iMac desktop is always set to 1440p. They say 5k but it is impossible to view such a small resolution. This is why this monitor is a perfect second monitor for a mac desktop. A 4k screen is not necessary. Other than higher dpi or better backlight options 1440 or 2k is the best option for a 27inch monitor. Emulated Hdr is ok but not necessary as the monitor doesnt have the peak nits to achieve true Hdr. People complain about the stand or lack of ergonomics i bought the amazon basics monitor arm. Perfect adjustment for an affordable price. I think it brought the total to around $350 for everything. Plan on getting another one for a full 3 monitor setup. Being used for daytrading setup, so perfect resolution. If youre doing any fancy video editing i would purchase the next level up of Benq monitor. This however is perfect for Clerical and regular display use. I use the iMac speakers because you dont need both. They arent great but if you had nothing else these are fine, maybe buy a small desktop speaker if the Benq is by itself and you want an upgrade. Not for gaming or editing but perfect for work from home or school option. I included a few pics from first setup to compare the quality vs the Imac screen.
