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

This monitor is super sleek and I have it attached to a dual monitor mount and it attached easily via VESA mounting holes. The only little thing I have an issue is that it is bit a slower to turn on and setup when I wake up my PC from a sleep. It takes about 5 seconds to turn on after my main gaming monitor. Also, the default settings for this monitor dont really show how nice and bright this monitor can get so I suggest tampering with the settings to your liking. Some dimming problems also exist when youre not centered with the screen, but that isnt too much to complain about as its fairly priced compared to other monitors of its kind.

With a change in work from home culture due to COV19 I needed a replica of my office setup at home. 24 monitors, triple-monitor arm, standup desk, etc. I did extensive research as I didnt want to spend a fortune creating this setup but definitely needed it to be a long term office quality setup. With so many brands and options available in the market making a choice was difficult so started with requirements. 1. Needed 24 monitor 2. Needed multiple port options i.e. both DP and HDMI 3. VESA compatible 4. Thin bezels Most of the monitors provided only HDMI and DP was a must for me due to my docking station requirement plus also plan to use the monitors for light gaming. To my surprise, the options with these requirements started with $150 plus but only BenQ GW2480, Phillips, and Scepter monitors were in this range. Further analysis led to BenQ as my choice as it offered everything I was looking for at $130. Although the projected cost of this monitor is $119 I bought three of these at $130 each because the features were worth paying for. Have used it for office work and have no regret so far in buying these monitors. I will use them for gaming later and will update my review accordingly.

I had to replace my 10 year old monitor when it finally blew up. I wanted something nice but affordable. This unit was indeed a good price at the moment I was shopping. I wanted to replace my secondary monitor as well, but wanted to try one of these before adding another. Bad decision. The first one arrived and I was instantly in love. Colors are bright, the frame is very, very thin, and the display is very crisp. Im no longer much of a gamer, so I cant comment on using one for gaming, but for all of my needs this one was perfect. The day after receiving the monitor, I came back to buy another one, but there were none to be had unless I wanted to pay double what Id paid for the first one. I was patient and waited. After a few weeks it came back at the lower price and I snagged a second one. An hour after I ordered my second one, they were out of stock at the low price again. Im not sure I would pay the regular retail price for this monitor, but then again Im frugal. For a monitor in my price range this was far beyond the quality that I expected. Ultimately I added an inexpensive dual monitor arm and Ive never been so pleased with a setup in my life. Ive had the first monitor about a month, so I cant yet speak to its long-term performance, but the initial impression is that these are the nicest monitors Ive ever used.

There is a discernible horizontal line cutting through the middle of my screen that shows through all applications, under it both side edges have a white halo effect coming in about half an inch and fading gracefully into what is a noticeably slightly lighter bottom half of my screen. Dont believe the hype on these. I have a second (same model) one that has other issues I wont rant about here. Best of luck, I would go with another brand. never had any other brand blow out so quickly in my many many monitors over my years.

Just recently stopped working after 3 years, but before that was a good quality for the price. I like the cable management on the back and the bevel style.

I got this monitor for eye protection as it has less blue light. It’s great! Very nice screen size & color. Delivered quickly & packaged well.

Works well with iPad Air. BUT there is no manual other than set up instructions!

It was a great product up until recently. It’s been about 2 years and 8 months since I ordered two of these. Last month, the first one completely died. Plugged in with multiple cables, wouldn’t even turn on. Now the button appears to be stuck on the second one, meaning the menu is ALWAYS being scrolled through. I’ve tried closing it, cleaning around the button being pressed, pressing it from multiple angles to see if it was stuck. I’ve had cheaper monitors that lasted for triple the time I’ve had these. Support was useless when I contacted them and never responded to any of my emails. Embarrassing for a company like BENQ to still have these problems.

I am very satisfy with this monitor. Picture quality is good. Sound quality also satisfying. Price is also good.

The monitor is nice and large but lacks in the deeper blacks (FIXED). On my laptop screen, it shows a nice and dark black, but on the monitor, it seems to be dulled out and grayed, but it isnt too bad. For PC gaming, Id highly recommend getting a higher refresh rate monitor such as 120-144hz because it would utilize those frames better. For consoles, this would be a perfect monitor as you probably wouldnt be going over 100 fps anyway. For others looking for a monitor to just surf the web, this would also be a perfect and relatively cheap option for a monitor Overall, a great monitor, but would wait until its under $120 if it wasnt already. A regular price of $150 seems a bit too steep for a 60hz monitor. EDIT I found the reason as to why the blacks werent as dark. For some reason, the monitor comes in with nightlight turned on by default, filtering out blue light. Also, the adaptive brightness was also off by default. Make sure to configure your monitor after installing it.
