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

Purchased for an animator custom build. It has a very small top,left & right border an a nice included stand, but using it with a basic NB arm 100x100mm VESA mount. I totally agree with other reviewers on the built speakers being weak, not just volume output lower than expected, the sound is very tinny, but functional. The good news, is I didnt buy it for the sound, since the animator has real reference speakers at each end of her desk. Initially was worried when I saw it was shipped with no outer carton, but everything was arrived OK. Would really like to see BenQ include a real printed manual vs include a CDROM with PDFs on it. I guess someone still uses CDROM? If nothing else, put a QR code on the double fold sheet to the URL for the PDF. I would but it again, it will be interesting to hear the feedback from the user once she uses it for 60-80hrs in a week. included HDMI cable is about 1m (3feet) long. Would be nice if it was 2m in length, and included 4 x VESA 10mm screws. It is a good quality mid range monitor that is easy on the eyes out of the box for a decent price.

I dont really see the sensor being useful other than if you want the brightness to adjust according to your environment.

they look okay, they aint no 144hz but they get the job done. ive had them for about 3 years and no issues at all. speakers are cheeks though. great starting out monitor

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.

This monitor is great, and its great as a secondary monitor. It doesnt look bad next to an expensive screen. If youre looking for an additional screen under 27 good luck. Retailers are full of 22-24 1080p monitors which look the same as the ones that came with an HP/Dell desktop in 2007. Most have huge bezels. Most have a single HDMI plug. Most have a power brick. And many of them dont even have HDCP so you cant watch Netflix on them. This monitor has a 100 mm VESA bolt pattern so you can put it on any arm. It takes a regular power plug — no power brick. It has HDCP. Its a good IPS panel. Black looks dark. Theres slightly less light bleed than my more expensive LG screens. It has slightly smaller bezels than my other screens. And it has two HDMI inputs, so its easy for me to use as an additional monitor for both my home machine and work laptop. The menus are easy to use and you can even setup shortcuts to put your three most-used adjustments on the first menu level. The speakers are worse than most — which is quite the feat when you think of how bad built-in monitor speakers are — but I dont care about that. The only slight annoyance I have is that you cant dim the light on the power button. But its on the bottom edge of the screen, so its easy to put a little piece of black tape over it. Of course that partially blocks those awesome speakers LOL. This monitor is a 21.5 1920x1080 panel, so thats 102.5 dpi/ppi (pixels per inch). The bigger you go the worse itll look next to a monitor with higher resolution. My other two monitors are a 38 3840x1600 LG ultrawide (109.5 dpi) and a 25 2560x1080 LG ultrawide (111.1 dpi). 21.5 BenQ GW2283 — sqrt(1920^2 + 1080^2) / 21.5 = 102.5 dpi 25 LG 25UM58 — sqrt(2560^2 + 1080^2) / 25 = 111.1 dpi 38 LG 38WN75C — sqrt(3840^2 + 1600^2) / 38 = 109.5 dpi The 25 LG 25UM58 is also a good deal. It currently costs 50% more than the BenQ for 33% more resolution. Its 75 hz, but I think the BenQ might actually have a better response time if youre gaming on it. And the 25 LG has a 75 mm VESA bolt pattern and a power brick.

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.

I buy by warehouse 60$ in the pocket easy. i had scare first time was cheap for myself . I do Not regret REALLY , i see not default well i am not difficult lady . Thanks Warehouse AMAZON. light blue help my eyes ( astigmate and sensible pain on the monitor ) easy build heavy too! for 27 inch i see much better for me . Unique think miss me a lot, Asus have and i do not see on him ,The target for shoot for gaming like COD or may be not cheek on the setting monitor correctly But I am really happy and thanks

Video quality is top notch. I use for both work and video games and the quality is very good for both. There is zero glare from sunlight. They’ve earned a loyal customer.

This monitor is really bright, And it is worth mentioning that Its bezels are so much smaller than I thought they would be. If you are looking for a sleek daily driver monitor this is the one. Its worthy to note that the eye care features work but I usually turn them off. One minor thing that I really liked was the ease of cable management at the back. This monitor Is huge too, It is such a ease to my eyes to not have to strain my eyes on a small screen. My only disappointment with this monitor was the light that bleeds, Giving a gross yellow color on the sides of the screens while it displays black

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