What I like is that it's big, almost too big - the size will take a bit of getting sued to; but it is an excellent monitor, images are sharp, it has features to adjust blue light (cuts down on eye fatigue), and several other adjustments such as brightness, etc.
Perfect size for gaming and also just to use as a normal monitor.
I got it at $70 which was a steal (Black Friday) and the size for that price is awesome
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 --

They truly are towards the top of the monitor quality charts and definitely still a great value
Overall It is a great value for the money, and a wonderful monitor.
This monitor is a good size for watching videos and is the best value in its class
I wouldn't however recommend it as an external if the laptop's resolution is higher than 1080p as it may make the eyes feel weird moving from monitor to monitor
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

During this time the monitor was pretty great, rich colors and great for gaming, very responsive
I play dota 2, and this has been a great gaming monitor
I dont care for the stand it comes with but other than that a very solid cheap gaming monitor.
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.

Good price but not as sharp as the Samsung and color not as good
Audio: the device does support HDMI audio output to a headphone jack, but it has no speakers, and no microphone input; this is not a problem for me, but it's something to be aware of if this will be your main monitor
The audio is trash but that's expected with these kinds of
I tried other games like FF TYPE 0 and it look beautiful sincerely i recommend this monitor for hard core gaming :D
Compared to my computer, the audio is very weak and 'weak' is the only word that comes to mind.

It's honestly pretty great and the only downside is the speakers
Once I disabled the monitor speakers as devices for the 2nd or 3rd time it finally stuck, though
It does have 3.5mm AUX input to plug in your own speakers as well as on-board volume/
For those of you who thought to make use of the headphone jack in the back: The monitor appears to have its own equalizer to make its speakers not sound awful (they don't sound awful, they're just weak)
These are great monitors, but the speakers are really quiet

I was looking for something cheap with next to no input lag for twitch reaction time playing FPS on my console(PS3) and this gives me not only beautiful picture
Its so good the quality is a must have and there is no input lag
Reasonable price, games look better than ever, and the 2 m/s input lag is great
The input lag on this is a drastic difference than a TV

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.
NOT A SINGLE STUCK PIXEL.Super impressed with that, not a single stuck/dead pixel on the screen

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
First one had dead/stuck pixel, replacement also did as well.

Read the reviews for this specific monitor, A significant number of people are having repetitive HDR issues
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.
BenQ told me that the HDR issue is most often caused by firmware which makes me feel a little better.

Good price but not as sharp as the Samsung and color not as good
However, what really knocked the star off is it's lack of displayport
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.
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
Lost a star because it can't auto-detect the connected HDMI cable.

I am a gamer and play some fairly high FPS games (think Fallout, Mad Max, Subnautica) and have had zero tearing or lag with them.
It also shows vibrant colors that amaze and mystify me in games such as the Witcher 3
It does have 3.5mm AUX input to plug in your own speakers as well as on-board volume/
No tearing or lag, dark dungeons are easily seen and bright glare from snow areas are eliminated
I wouldn't however recommend it as an external if the laptop's resolution is higher than 1080p as it may make the eyes feel weird moving from monitor to monitor

I began using it normally and also noticed the excessive motion blur
and it's nice and big thank u
got this a month ago and l are going great .
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
The picture for a 1080p tn panel is amazing and has a great refresh rate with no motion blur

amazing monitor for the price (paid around $200) clear crisp display, no ghosting, no dead pixels, great for gaming and everyday use, would purchase again.
Love this monitor but I took a star off because of one dead pixel
All 3 were free of any defects and so far no bad pixels.
The only reason its not 5 stars is the monitor arrived with a dead pixel.
This monitor had no dead pixels and looked nice on the outside
