Speakers are not great, but for the price and as a monitor, built in speakers on a monitor this size is a great bonus.
They report that the size has significantly reduced eye strain, and they had no problems setting it up themselves, which is at least some indication of ease-of-use
Wonderful monitor -- great size / great clarity / great color and brightness --
Perfect size for gaming and also just to use as a normal monitor.
Very pleased with this monitor has great size and refresh rate is excellent! could not be more happy!
Unlike my viewsonic which has its controls under the monitor and on the stand, something I truly hate as it is difficult to just turn the monitor off and on as you cannot see the controls, the BenQ has it's controls down the right hand bezel of the monitor making them easy to use
Overall It is a great value for the money, and a wonderful monitor.
The B.I. sucks as it darkens The picture to The point u can't see nothing
This monitor is a good size for watching videos and is the best value in its class
They truly are towards the top of the monitor quality charts and definitely still a great value
Out of the box, the monitor was set really bright and has the potential to go even brighter, however, I turned it way down to about 30 (with probably no noticeable loss of image, shadow, or texture quality); this lessened the strain on my eyes while editing/gaming
If you want a cheap gaming monitor this is one you should buy, or an Asus monitor.
I tried other games like FF TYPE 0 and it look beautiful sincerely i recommend this monitor for hard core gaming :D
I don't think you can find a better gaming monitor at this price
During this time the monitor was pretty great, rich colors and great for gaming, very responsive
The audio is trash but that's expected with these kinds of
It does have 3.5mm AUX input to plug in your own speakers as well as on-board volume/
I compared identical videos with identical settings on my laptop and the results on this monitor were noticeably worse, though my laptop has a smaller screen and higher resolution anyways, so that isn't a fair comparison, but still I would think that a good 27" monitor wouldn't have chunks of pixels and blur as you watch high quality videos
Good price but not as sharp as the Samsung and color not as good
Compared to my computer, the audio is very weak and 'weak' is the only word that comes to mind.
The bezels are pretty thick and not ideal for more than one monitor setups.-Verdict-Pretty good value for what you get: A very clear 4K picture, great color and pretty good contrast once the settings have been adjusted, and hit or miss HDR depending on the game
NOT A SINGLE STUCK PIXEL.Super impressed with that, not a single stuck/dead pixel on the screen
Pros-Xbox one plays very well, 2ms response leaves no visible ghosting.-Buttons on the back of the right side, nice not having an annoying LED sticking out of the front.-Headphone jack, and Audio out port in back to connect to other speakers (recommended.)Cons--Only one HDMI, but I knew before buying.-DO NOT rely on these built in speakers, very quiet.

I like the size and the 4K, but everything seems washed out on it
BenQ told me that the HDR issue is most often caused by firmware which makes me feel a little better.
I tried other games like FF TYPE 0 and it look beautiful sincerely i recommend this monitor for hard core gaming :D
When I turned HDR off, the Colors looked normal again and the monitor would try to emulate HDR.Luckily Amazon replaced the monitor for me without a second thought and the HDR issue resolved with the hardware replacement.
Read the reviews for this specific monitor, A significant number of people are having repetitive HDR issues
That is the only reason why it lost a star, if you only have one screen you would probably never know, but I watch youtube while I play and sometimes I have to make sure I'm at a loading screen between maps to change something on my other monitor.
Lost a star because it can't auto-detect the connected HDMI cable.
However, what really knocked the star off is it's lack of displayport
It does have 3.5mm AUX input to plug in your own speakers as well as on-board volume/
just don't forget about it's height and on/off switch location which are the reason for the missing star

It also shows vibrant colors that amaze and mystify me in games such as the Witcher 3
Picture isn't quite as sharp as I would like, and I had some trouble getting it working with my laptop via HDMI and VGA
No tearing or lag, dark dungeons are easily seen and bright glare from snow areas are eliminated
The picture for a 1080p tn panel is amazing and has a great refresh rate with no motion blur
Simply scrolling up and down webpages caused lines of text to leave rather long trails of ghostly color behind them, looking much like motion blur
Playing on this monitor gives me the competitive edge I've needed, and reduces the input lag to basically none and the motion blur feature is a great bonus as well
