Sound is not good

I bought this monitor for both gaming and productivity purposes. It is definitely not worth $500 I paid for it, but I still decided to give it a shot due to its sRGB color mode. Starting with the positives, this monitor has good picture quality thanks to its relatively high contrast. The sRGB mode is accurate and does not lock the brightness unlike majority of other wide gamut monitors, which is the main reason why I bought it. Other than that, I did not have any major complaints except the stand, which only supports tilt. The design is also great, without overly flashy gaming aesthetics, which I definitely like. Now onto the main issue: the monitor I received has terrible color uniformity. I have read the reviews and I was prepared for it, but I did not expect it to be this bad. My unit has a gradient from top to bottom with white becoming yellowish towards the bottom. It also seems that the bottom of the monitor is dimmer. This is not visible in games, but extremely annoying when using a web browser. White color is inconsistent, and other solid colors undergo large change when scrolling through a web page. I understand that it is difficult to make a uniform panel, but such level of uniformity is simply unacceptable, especially at this price point. I am definitely going to refund/replace this monitor. Maybe I have got a bad unit, but there are other people who have similar issue. Too bad it is out-of-stock right now.

I love the auto brightness sensor, but at its lowest setting the monitor is still to bright in a completely dark room. I wish the monitor gave you a offset for minimum, but sadly it does not.

This monitor works very well for gaming. The HDR switches on automatically and looks nice. The only issue I had with image quality is that the bottom of the screen looks yellow compared to the top which looks blue. It is a subtle effect but very distracting when reading text documents. Since your eye is always going up and down over the page (to compare sentences etc.) the screen never looks properly white. Aside from this issue, the color quality is great. Beware that the stand is completely non-adjustable. I had to prop some books underneath it to get it to the right height. I ended up sending mine back because the color temperature issue made it too hard to review documents.

Im upgrading from a benq GL2480, which would be a TN, 1080p, 24in monitor. Im not very knowledgeable on monitors but I had to return this monitor due to the screen randomly turning white all over while I was scrolling down a page. Reading other reviews Im wondering if its just an extreme case of backlight bleeding. But I enjoyed the screen so much that I will be trying my luck and buying another one which is why Im giving it a 3 out of 5 stars. Pros: -Speakers are a major upgrade from what I had in my prior monitor, and they are even better then the cheap amazon basic speakers if that helps anything. -I feel as though pictures really pop and colors seem so much nicer to look at when using this monitor. I tend to switch the hdri mode to display when viewing photos. -Improved brightness over my current monitor which is going from 250nits to 350nits. cons: -I would say the hdri itself isnt amazing for everything you do while being a selling point is a bit of a con. -The stand is a bit short, being able to adjust the viewing angle is nice tho. All in all I would have given this a higher score if there werent any defects, had the poor thing for a month.

nothing bad to say

As you can see in the photos I have attached it has noticeable backlight bleeding BUT it is not noticeable when playing video games. If you want this monitor for watching TV, youtube, netflix, etc it’s best you do not get it. With this type of monitor backlight bleeding is very common due to how the screen is placed BUT like I said before when it comes to games you do not notice it. I have this connected to my Xbox series X and it works incredible! I am able to play rainbow 6 with 1440p and 120Hz and it’s the same for Call of duty and Cold war. You can also play them all in 4K with 60hz. This is a rare monitor so get it if you are all about competitive gaming. The remote gives you easy control and the speakers are incredible! You have in the front and back and it’s louder than you expect with great balance. I have went through MANY tv and monitors and this one gives the best of both worlds! A decent size and with incredible control! Look this item up and watch reviews on youtube and you will find that all videos call it great! EVERYWHERE is sold out so I bought it here on Amazon. What a steal! The colors are breathtaking.

This monitor has an exceptional feature set with a fantastic price to match. This isnt a purely gaming monitor nor is it purely for professional use, but its overwhelmingly very good at both. This monitor should be held as a gold standard in which all other monitors should be compared to. Every monitor in the known universe has trade offs between picture quality and gaming performance. Youll have to pick a feature set which is most important to you. The BenQ has a focuses more on image quality and color calibration over pure gaming features. If you are a professional or content creator that also like to game... well listen up, and keep reading! The BenQ EX2780Q closest competitor is the LG 27GL850G. + you can actually buy this and have it delivered to your front door... The LG is either out of stock or overpriced from most retailers. + Excellent for photoshop, video editing, CAD, programming, gaming, spread sheeting, or word processing. + One feature that is mostly overlooked... 144Hz for non-gaming tasks will make common desktop apps nicer to use. Apps will feel more fluid, scrolling through web pages, documents, and spreadsheets is buttery smooth. Even the Windows 10 interface is so fluid. So even if you dont care about gaming... you will enjoy using this monitor. + colors are phenomenal and will blow most monitors out of the water. The LG might win here, but by only a small fraction. If you are looking to upgrade from a monitor that you bought a few years ago, I can almost guarantee that your monitor wont have the 95% DCI P3 color reproduction. If you dont know what that means... well its pure awesome. + The BenQ has great contrast (1000:1). The LGs contrast isnt as good (800:1), grey scale is a touch muddy for my tastes. For most applications this wont be a big deal. The BenQs better contrast will be most helpful for photo/video editing/watching. + the BenQ is rated for 144 Hz and the LG for 165Hz again the difference between here is very minimal for most. Pro gamers will want 240Hz, but on those screens; contrast and color reproduction will suffer greatly. So if you are a pro gamer making money or want to make money by gaming, and have decided that 240Hz is the upmost important feature... the BenQ or the LG isnt for you. + the built in speakers are actually good... really good! Nice bass, good vocal response, loudness is pretty decent too. If i were to be picky... the mid-high range suffers a little. Critical listening should be performed on headphones or studio speakers anyways. If you are able to eliminate an external speaker set by using the built in monitor speakers, the amount of wires on you desk is greatly reduced. + BenQ might not have the brand recognition as maybe Samsung and LG. If this is your first BenQ, you wont be disappointed. + On screen menu system is basic, easy to understand, and yet has a comprehensive adjustments. +BenQ has packed a ton of modern features into this monitor at a great price, you will be very happy with this decision. Downsides: The monitor stand. It only tilts up and down several degrees... does not pivot, does not raise/lower, or does not rotate. It is solid and stable, and out of the box set at an average height. I recommend trying the built in stand for a while, and if it doesnt work out for you, just buy a monitor arm. Great ones can be found as little as $50. Good luck on your monitor search... mine has ended with the BenQ EX2780Q.

All I’m gonna say about this monitor is. First impressions are everything. At 600 dollars I expected this thing to, at the very least come with everything needed to game at 1440 144hz. It came with some crummy hdmi cable and a usb c cable. Where the hell is the display port cable. Pissed is an understatement. Asus didn’t do this kind of crap and they’ll have my business in the future

It has been a few years since I purchased a new monitor. All of my past monitors and TVs were Samsung. Obviously the resolution was going to be better than my 1080P, but the color is also much better. This replaced an even older Samsung, now I want to replace the newer one also.
