Best for Eye care, can't beat the price.

Outstanding monitor for eye care, my eyes!! This is my second BENQ monitor, for my alternate office. I'm a software engineer, but this monitor is not just for gamers. I bought it because it is the best I have found for reading and coding. My headaches are gone and my eye fatigue is virtually zero now. Thank you Adorama.

Great WFH monitor for gamers

Got this monitor for a WFH setup as an architect and gamer. Looks great out in the open and the built in speakers are a huge plus for me to have some background music while working. Gaming response is great and the features are good for the price. Color is pretty good out of the box but could use some calibration for color-accurate tasks. The HDR and automatic settings are a little weird. If you turn on any of the automatic settings then you lose control over certain options, so I am not using those for now.

Very good monitor, BenQ seems to have above average QC!!

Went through a few other monitors before landing on this BenQ monitor. It has been great so far (outside of the weirdo HDRi setting stuff, just skip that) I love the colors, it's does a decent job at 10 bit, it is an 8 bit frc monitor! But for a mix of gaming and content creation, it has been great for the price! Quality control on this monitor, and others I have seen seem to be a bit higher than average and I haven't had issues with light bleed or bad pixels or anything really! Also, the inclusion of surprisingly awesome built in speakers is a bonus for anyone that might be using this as their sound system too! I have 5.1, but I didn't realise it at first and was blown away!

Best monitor for 500$

What a wonderful monitor, the display is extremely sharp and crystal clear I am a serious hardcore console gamer and was previously using a 50’4K tv when I switched to this monitor there was truly no visible change in clarity that’s how good this monitor is! I use this for my mac as well and again you’re looking at iMac quality within the screen it is truly an amazing monitor I 10/10 recommend the speakers are surprisingly great as well. Well worth the investment you will not be disappointed
