    BenQ EL2870U 28 inch 4K HDR Gaming Monitor, 1ms 3840x2160 , Free-Sync Eye-Care, Anti-glare, Brightness Intelligence Plus, HDMI, DP, Built-in Speakers

    • Great colors as well
    • Amazing colors
    • Update: After using this monitor for about 2 weeks I could not longer stand the washed out image, blurry text, poor color, extremely slow and jumpy frames, etc. and ultimately ended up paying to return this monitor
    • Photos are rendered good with good color and smoothing so this would be a great monitor for gaming or viewing videos but unfortunately it's not working for what I need it to do
    • My monitor flickers when it is on darker screens, cannot see it when it's bright colors.
    • The 1440p aspect of it looks crispy but the weird colors make it look horrible.
    • Great gaming monitor, good colors
    • I love the deep color this monitor exhibits.
    • , however, its resolution is great, colors are really good
    • Honestly colors were horrible and I own a Ben q 24
    • So far so good, great viewing area, colors are bright and works perfectly with Windows 10.
    • When I go back to my plasma TV I realize how poor the color is on the monitor
    • So far so good, great viewing area, colors are bright and works perfectly with Windows 10.
    • The colors are very accurate and the color has a great range of colors that show up
    • Beautiful colors, great resolution.
    • Getting any decent accurate color is impossible for me, just not enough options to do so built into the monitor OSD and my AMD card doesn't seem to have very good options but again I should not complain for the price
    • great resolution and colors
    • But when I sit down directly in front of the TN monitor, it is bright white and colors are excellent just like an IPS display panel
    • The stock settings have beautiful popping colors and the 1080p resolution is extremely clear, I could never go back to a main monitor being bellow 1080p
    • If two people are seated next to each other in front of the monitor, they will be able to see the background white color start to appear as a faint yellow color, but not a lot until you get to a much wider viewing angle.
    • Very fast color changes, however
    • The colors are fantastic, and even at 50% brightness, everything is still vibrant
    • At first I didn't like it because the colors weren't looking right, but after a bunch of fiddling and the use of an external calibrator, this monitor rocks.
    • Vivid colors, low response time
    • Giving it five stars because I think the colors could be better
    • Great monitor for the price, beautiful color and no noticeable eyestrain
    • beautiful monitor of good colors my only problem was connecting ami pc that has a rx
    • Good budget monitor, the colors are very bright, but doesn't seem to be true to the colors
    • is it has taken me a very long time to get the monitor to display accurate color
    • Horrible everything: color, depth, sharpness, cheesy construction
    • The monitor only comes with a 15-pin (VGA) D-Sub cable in the box, which is annoying in 2014 - you need to buy your own HDMI cable (you don't want to use this with the MiniDisplayPort->VGA adaptor, those adapters stink, and the colors will be crap
    • During this time the monitor was pretty great, rich colors and great for gaming, very responsive
    • Very good colors on this monitor
    • I would imagine these would not be appropriate for anyone doing color-sensitive work; I mostly read & check email on my monitors so they work very well for me.
    • Small color bleed in the middle of the screen that is visible on black screens
    • my husband got this for his studio and likes its a lot, the colors are great and its a nice quality.
    • Color is a bit warm and should be calibrated/adjusted for photo editing, which is why I purchased this.
    • It has great color accuracy, noticeably less flicker than the monitor it replaced, and - sadly a rarity these days - it just worked, right out of the box, without any setup woes
    • No DOA pixels and it has a wonderful color range
    • you want accurate colors or dual monitor setup look elsewhereThis monitor is only good for watching movies or playing games (single monitor)
    • Wonderful monitor -- great size / great clarity / great color and brightness --
    • its not a very good color spectrum either.
    • the colors are bright vivid and everything is just on
    • Beautiful crisp colors in HD.
    • But the color and screen are awesome
    • From straight on they produce a very nice picture with rich colors that are easy on the eyes.
    • I think the color is a touch off, but not enough that I have gone in and played with the adjustments much.
    • The picture is perfect, crisp, clear with vibrant colors.
    • And even watching video with nice colors
    • I watch video presentations with nice smooth graphics and good colors with this one.
    • However, the only complaint I have is no matter what color settings I use, I still get that "static bounce" on darker colors (for instance: any website's dark mode, such as youtube).Amazing for the price, I couldn't be happier!
    • There is no angle from which the colors look right at both the top and bottom of the display, it's one or the other.
    • The colors are very good (although I have tried for video editing) the response time and refresh rate are truly for gamers who are budget oriented
    • Nothing to say really, they work well and have good color.
    • For the price, it has a great viewing angle range and good color rendition.
    • Excellent monitor, no back light bleed and good colors
    • , all together looks washed outBlack level: 7/10 - Darker colors all look

    • They have a nice clear picture, with good colors overall.

    • So far so good, nice color and brightness
    • The monitors are high quality and produce a very nice image and vibrant colors
