Good Monitor over all, but the USB hub stoped working I ordered on March 6 2025, today is May 19th 2025, less than 3 months old. I did get the Adorama coverage on it. but I can't send it back due to having 7 bookings for photoshoots. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue. This is my 1st BenQ, I use to have View Sonic LOVED them but I wanted something with adobe color. and the ViewSonics were out of stock so bought this. overall good monitor, just do not rely on the USB hubs working. I am using the suppled cables to my mac. and as of 3 days ago everything was fine. but today no usb, tried changing the usb cables nothing, and tried USB thumb drives and nothing. tested all of them right in the back of my Mac and BAM it works so it has to be the Hub in the Ben Q

This BenQ monitor is advertised as being for photographers. The packaging was fantastic and it went together fast. The stand is very heavy and well built, and the glare screen is very effective. My only concern is the Matt finish on the screen to reduce glare. It softens images and sometimes it's hard to tell if it's the screen or soft focus.
