> 3 dayGet these regularly for our office, and 2 of these so far had the foam inside busted, a used HDMI cord with white.. paint? All over the cord. All the plastic baggies were just stuffed in the box, when normally each cord/manual has its own baggie. Dont know if these were returned and they re used them or something but was kinda iffy about using them. Luckily they still work as of now though....

Greater than one weekI bought this BenQ in March 2020 so have it for 2 1/2 yr. My constant problem has been the screen suddenly goes black and says no connection or I turn off the screen and then get this error when I turn it on. The cable into the Display Port is not working correctly. I have had to pull out the cable and insert it again, sometimes 3 or 4 times before it connects. The contrast is not sharp, just ok. It seems to be ok for eye care, I never felt any eye strain. This is my first and my last BenQ.

Greater than one weekI am very impressed with this company. The monitor is immaculate. The shipping materials are A+. Monitor arrived 4 days earlier than expected. The monitor is great so far. I researched and bought it for its adaptive brightness controls and advertised anti-eye fatigue technology. Image is very clear and I like the stand. So far I am happy with this purchase.

Greater than one weekAs a value monitor, I think its $20 more expensive than it should be. That said, its still not too expensive for a solid monitor that will hopefully last a long time and perform basic functions with predictable efficiency. Good response time, although I dont use this for gaming. I still think a good response time is needed for anything else you might want to do. As for the speakers, they are abysmal. Even on their loudest setting, its not much more than a faint, tinny echo. Do not come into this monitor hoping for an all-in-one experience when it comes to sound. If you intend for this to replace actual speakers, youll be disappointed.

> 3 dayI am replacing my old iMac with a new PC but was very worried about finding a comparable screen for a reasonable price. I did a lot of research, read lists of budget editing screens, most of which were $300-$1000 -- still out of my current budget. Finally after reading tons of reviews on amazon I decided to try this one out and I am very pleased with this purchase! I got the 24 inch and played around with the settings a bit but really it was pretty great straight out of the box. I photograph portraits and weddings and I have a very vibrant style. Because of that I needed to make sure the color was pretty spot-on. I had used my husbands computer to edit a few times and found out the hard way that his screens color was way off and it can make peoples skin tones look sickly. So as soon as I get the monitor set up I pulled up images on both my iMac and the new BenQ screen and they looked very close! We actually noticed that my iMac whites are a little warmer so I pulled out a bunch of prints I have had made and started comparing and the BenQ seemed to be even More accurate to what my prints looked like! A lot of people complained that this screen is too bright, but I dont know if they have changed it since those reviews were written... it didnt seem too bright to me at all, I have it set to 100 brightness. Another reviewer posted settings to match the iMac display, but when I put the brightness level to 50 it was wayyy below the brightness of my iMac. So, I kept the settings pretty close to the automatic settings, I adjusted the gamma a little and a couple other things here and there. So I am very happy with this purchase, I will be sure to update if I have any issues or anything else to add!

> 3 dayI purchased this to use with my ps4. This is a 75 HZ monitor and the cap for PS4 is 60 so why not. It was very easy to put together.( 100% tool less) it does have speakers and honestly for a monitor under $200 i was surprised. I wouldnt recommend FPS on the speakers but it has better sound then my $400 pc monitor so thats a plus. The picture quality was great right out of the box. Normally you have to tweak the settings right out of the box but it looks great as is. I would recommend and purchase this again for console gaming. For PC gaming you are better off with a 144HZ panel. As always IPS screen looks amazing.

> 3 dayEasy set up. Large. Good value for the price. I have an older laptop, so I wasnt looking for a top of the line gaming monitor with the best graphics. Having the built in speakers are nice, and the monitor worked right away with plugging it into my computer. No need to download drivers from somewhere else. Would recommend!

> 3 dayDay 1. I will update the review as testing going. As you can see I installed these two guys on the dual monitor mount ( WALI Premium Dual LCD Monitor Desk Mount) and they sit pretty well. I am using them with MacBook Pro 2016 as extended monitors with two separate HDMI adapters for each monitor (each adapter is like $13). Otherwise, you CANT do extended dual screens on mac OS UNLESS you use pretty expensive hubs like CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 Dock ( I did pretty deep research on these things ). The brightness could be a little better but its fine for this price. The sensor on the bottom of the screen is a cool feature, pretty much the same as on all smartphones but with the ability to turn off/on/adjust the sensitivity, my kudo for this feature goes to BenQ. The picture in general pretty decent but not the perfect, again price. I got them for work and because I always promise myself to read all those articles Ive opened back in 2010. So now I can open all of them. So far the only problem I encounter is in my mount but not the screens. As you can notice in the last picture the gap between screens is hard to eliminate perfectly.
