Reviews around size (4.62 of 5)

  • 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 --

Reviews around product (4.55 of 5)

  • Overall this really is a fantastic product for the price
  • I love the product and I recommend it to anyone who wants to have a serious setup
  • Great product recommend if somone is looking for a basic 60 hz that will has the best quality you can buy this is it.
  • I guess that's what you get with a cheaply-priced product.
  • The one star rating is not only for FALSE advertising, but for a poor quality product and the suggestion that their customer service line is open 24/7

  • An all around excellent monitor at a very reasonable price.

  • but if you want a good monitor at a good price, this is it.

Reviews around value (4.32 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around screen (4.23 of 5)

  • The only things that I am not very happy about is how quite the speakers are and how bright the screen is
  • The issue I have run into today is that the screen is flickering and turning off A LOT
  • It's as if the entire screen has a haze of gray over it.
  • the dell is a little nicer design-wise but the screen on this is a little better
  • This is a very well made screen, no problems for me as of yet -

Reviews around quality (4.10 of 5)

  • The monitor has great picture quality plus all the visual settings
  • They mounted super easy and the quality is unbelievable
  • I like the great picture quality, ease of use and good size
  • If you just want a good quality panel and the speakers are not a big deal, this a great monitor.
  • Only reason its a 4 and not a 5 is cause of poor audio quality, but i use a headset any ways

Reviews around color (4.06 of 5)

  • Just adjusting yourself a few inches can ruin the colors and look of the monitor
  • The colors are very accurate and the color has a great range of colors that show up
  • During this time the monitor was pretty great, rich colors and great for gaming, very responsive

Reviews around gaming (3.68 of 5)

  • 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.

Reviews around bite (2.07 of 5)

  • buttons on panel for menu can be a bit stiff and troublesome to press every now and then
  • Love the display, the controls are a bit hard to handle and the speakers kinda suck.
  • Sometimes it looks like the color is a bit off & their seems to be some interference of some
  • The volume is a bit weak, but picking up some speakers would cover the one weakness that I find in this monitor.

Reviews around audio (1.95 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around speaker (1.94 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around input lag (1.93 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around stick (1.90 of 5)

  • 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
  • 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.
  • 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.

Reviews around hdr issue (1.87 of 5)

  • I tried other games like FF TYPE 0 and it look beautiful sincerely i recommend this monitor for hard core gaming :D
  • 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.

Reviews around star (1.83 of 5)

  • 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.

Reviews around tear (1.72 of 5)
