BenQ GW2780 Computer Monitor 27 FHD 1920x1080p | IPS | Eye-Care Tech | Low Blue Light | Anti-Glare | Adaptive Brightness | Tilt Screen | Built-In Speakers | DisplayPort | HDMI | VGA

I would definitely recommend these monitors to people. I bought two for a dual display setup. I use it for both office work and for gaming. I connect to the monitors using display port and a laptop docking station. The stands are very sturdy and setup took less than five minutes. The displays are much easier on my eyes than my other ones. I bought these to hopefully help with my migraines (since I sit at the computer for 12+ hours a day). I haven’t had them long enough to see if they really help with the migraines but I will update if they don’t really help. The frames around the outside are thin so a dual screen setup looks good with these displays. The material feels nice and it’s made of sturdy material and not flimsy plastic. There is a little bit of brightness fade near the outside but it’s not bad at all and it’s hardly noticeable. The only way I’ve found to completely avoid that is with curved monitors. Overall, these monitors are a great bang for your buck.

I had to replace my 10 year old monitor when it finally blew up. I wanted something nice but affordable. This unit was indeed a good price at the moment I was shopping. I wanted to replace my secondary monitor as well, but wanted to try one of these before adding another. Bad decision. The first one arrived and I was instantly in love. Colors are bright, the frame is very, very thin, and the display is very crisp. Im no longer much of a gamer, so I cant comment on using one for gaming, but for all of my needs this one was perfect. The day after receiving the monitor, I came back to buy another one, but there were none to be had unless I wanted to pay double what Id paid for the first one. I was patient and waited. After a few weeks it came back at the lower price and I snagged a second one. An hour after I ordered my second one, they were out of stock at the low price again. Im not sure I would pay the regular retail price for this monitor, but then again Im frugal. For a monitor in my price range this was far beyond the quality that I expected. Ultimately I added an inexpensive dual monitor arm and Ive never been so pleased with a setup in my life. Ive had the first monitor about a month, so I cant yet speak to its long-term performance, but the initial impression is that these are the nicest monitors Ive ever used.

This monitor is really bright, And it is worth mentioning that Its bezels are so much smaller than I thought they would be. If you are looking for a sleek daily driver monitor this is the one. Its worthy to note that the eye care features work but I usually turn them off. One minor thing that I really liked was the ease of cable management at the back. This monitor Is huge too, It is such a ease to my eyes to not have to strain my eyes on a small screen. My only disappointment with this monitor was the light that bleeds, Giving a gross yellow color on the sides of the screens while it displays black

This Monitor is very good. But I would not pay way more than the 90$ I gave on black friday. Meanwhile there are several Monitors with Low Blue light adjuster and flicker free as well as brightness sensor. This Monitor has at least all 3 items although I have seen an Phillips Monitor for a Little more Money with These Features as well which has on top an colour gammut of 108% NTSC and has 75 Hertz refresh rate. I would probably take by now the Phillips as it is at 106$ by now - same Screen size and Display. But Overall this is an awesome Monitor. It is rated for 30000 hours backlight LED endurance and power on for MTBF of 60000 hours. My SSD has now over 10000 hs and is already a couple of years old (91% wear Level), so expect the Monitor to last about the same as an SSD with normal use. Colour gammut is 72% NTSC and is good enough for all Tasks. It came with an HDMI cable included. Stand is sturdy since it has metal underneath the plastic. I have the blue light filter on 50% (webbrowsing they call it) which reduces brigthness greatly (to which I am a bit sensitive as it seems). Auto brightness sensor is built in which does work (shining on the sensor with an flashlight increases the Screen glow and reducing it afterwards with lights switched off). Has DP and HDMI ports. Speakers are so so but work. On an Monitor like this Speakers are not really needed since I have an 2.1 T&V Speaker System. Built in Speakers are really important only in tablets where they have to be excellent and loud enough since one is not going to toss around a real estate of attached Speakers. On Desktop Setups built in Speakers are not important. 250 nits brightness is way enough for decent movie, Surfing and gaming experience. The 23.8 size is perfect for Desktop use (I come from an 17.3 Laptop Screen) and the IPS Panel makes the huge difference in eye care as well. The IPS Panel is the single biggest eye saver Technology of the last years which avoids the eyes to constantly find the sweet spot on an traditional non IPS Display as my Laptop Screen was. I coupled this Monitor to my older Laptop which is an wonderfull Setup - why throw away an 8 year old Laptop (Intel quad core, 8 GB RAM, SSD) when it still works perfectly and the Hardware is somewhat up to date still? For Youtube, movies, etc upgrade your old machines with an SSD and they will run for a decade more or so (avoiding electrowaste. No Need for the latest and greatest). I find myself being in front of this Monitor more without glasses which never would happened before with the traditional non IPS Laptop 17.3 Screen. Great Monitor but watch out for a step higher when the Price is minimal more. With 23.8 that is the Maximum to go with FHD (1920 x 1200) since at 24 Screens you are looking already for an 4K Monitor since the Pixels of this Monitor is only at 93 PPI while my Amazon Fire tablet has an PPI of 182 IPS Display. So an 27 Monitor should have an 4K Screen while with this Monitor you get away still with 1080p. Close up I can see with the naked eye (without glasses) the individual Pixels. But yeah, for the Price you can buy just a new one if it Fails at 60000 hours (MTBF as per specs. An SSD should have an Main Time Before Failure rate of about 2 Million hours for comparison). Set up was easy basically PnP (plug and play). Adjustment Buttons on Screen are fine. I like the power on light as it glows a whitish glow. I hope this Monitor lasts me Long as we will see the durability. Plastic parts of the Monitor are of high Quality and seem not cheapish and fit and finish is excellent. Awesome thin bezel. Darks could be darker but thats an inherent characteristic of the IPS Technology. No light bleeding or back glowing on edges or stuff but the blacks could be a bit darker. Otherwise an huge improvement from the Laptop Screen I come from. Bigger Screen and you will probably not see the edges since I sit about 30 cm away from the Monitor. Watching movies I get at least 40 cm to 100 cm distance. If the durability holds up I recommend this Monitor. I bought it because it is supposed TUV Rheinland approved and tested for flicker free and Low Blue light. Whatch out for newer models, better features and other brands for similar Price range. But you will be happy with this Monitor even for light gaming. Buy a cheapish Laptop if you cant afford anything else (or upgrade an existent one) like an cheap Dell Inspiron 11 (use the Laptop as PC), connect it to this big Monitor with mouse an keyboard, throw in a decent Sound System and you have a full Desktop replacement set up which serves as full home Theater and Entertainment System as well as gaming rig (depending on the Laptop Hardware). If one part Fails, Switch it for another part and no Need to throw the whole Thing away. I recommend this Monitor. But for retail Price of 149$ look for better deals and more bang for your buck. UPDATE 21.01.2020: On the right lower corner there seems to be the light a little dimmer than on the rest on the screen. No light bleeding but that corner gets a littler darker towards the corner (meeting point of horizontal and vertical edges). No noticeable pixels burned out on any Colour. So thats what I observed till now. Otherwise awesome monitor. I recommend for under 100$ although there are already several alternatives for this with a wider Colour gammut, a little more money and as well flicker free and reduced blue light eye care certification as well with an integrated brightness sensor. The 24 size is about the optimal monitor size.

Ive been pleasantly surprised with this Monitor. I mostly got this work on video editing, and Ive noticed that I dont have as intense headaches that I usually get from staring at a monitor all day. Ive seen prices jump on these from $120 to $200. Dont pay over the $120 price. I did order a second one because I do like the colors and it has helped with my migraines. For those of you looking for a gaming monitor, youll want to skip this one. It wasnt designed for it. I do some gaming on it, but only just for fun. 60Hz refresh rate and I tried to overclock the monitor and it cant be done. So youre not going to get over 60 fps on the monitor. There is also a 5ms delay. Again fine for everything else, but if you looking for a 1ms gaming monitor this isnt for you.

I got these monitors for my home workstation so that I could work from home. Since we’ve had them my wife has confiscated them for her machine. She does a lot of spreadsheet and email work and for that they are great. Be aware that these are not height adjustable and the base isn’t exactly super sturdy or weighted in anyway. We are currently using them on the factory mounts but may be switching to a dual monitor mounting Bracket in the future. The lcd’s are clear from edge to edge with no blooming while working at night. The bezels are nice and thin so the footprint isnt to big. I don’t know about gaming with them as I have a dedicated tv I use for that. Overall for the price, these monitors are good.

Its an elegant design with very small frame edges. I like the easy change of functions from the control button. I bought an Asus for $275.99 here at Amazon a few months ago, identical performance.

I am comparing this monitor with LG 27GN800-B, which is about twice more expensive. So its not a fair comparison. Side by side, color is not so impressive compared to the LG monitor. But overall this monitor is pretty good for its price.

Being on a keyboard all day, I found that my dry eye problem was becoming worse. And working off a laptop led me with too small a screen to focus on. Being on a very small budget, there wasnt much choice in options. I chose this specifically because it talked about being easier on the eyes. Hallelujah! This truly is easier on my eyes. My eyestrain is seriously reduced and my dry eyes are no longer so dry. The size is ok for my work area, which is pretty small. I sit about the length of a full-sized bed away from the screen. Further away would be too far. Closer would be uncomfortable. Plan accordingly. There are two things that are mildly disappointing to me. First is the reduced sharpness of the picture. The one on my laptop is much sharper. Im trading off the larger size and reduced eyestrain for somewhat less sharpness. Ill live with it. The second is the inevitable near lack of speaker volume. Plan to either use headphones or attach secondary speakers. I use some small, inexpensive ones that are perfectly adequate to my admittedly unsophisticated and demanding needs. I use headphones when I am editing legal transcripts. All in all, Im perfectly satisfied that the product met my requirements. If I had the ability to get a top of the line eye-care monitor, Id jump at the opportunity. But in the beggers-cant-be-choosers category, this is surprisingly adequate.

As a value monitor, I think its $20 more expensive than it should be. That said, its still not too expensive for a solid monitor that will hopefully last a long time and perform basic functions with predictable efficiency. Good response time, although I dont use this for gaming. I still think a good response time is needed for anything else you might want to do. As for the speakers, they are abysmal. Even on their loudest setting, its not much more than a faint, tinny echo. Do not come into this monitor hoping for an all-in-one experience when it comes to sound. If you intend for this to replace actual speakers, youll be disappointed.
