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

Ive had this monitor for about two years now and its perfect. I have a smaller desk and it fits rather nicely. The display is smooth. This product is marketed perfectly, it does everything it claims. Definitely worth the price. :)

To start, you have to enable the automatic light adjustment before it actually will adjust itself. Since day one, the monitor adjusts perfectly in all lighting conditions from a pitch black room to the sun flooding the room with light. It does take a pinch to adjust to. At first it might seem like its too dim, but as you use it, youll notice its just right. Speakers... i mean if you have no other option, theyre there, cant get very loud at all but in a pinch would help you out. The best feature in my eyes quite literally is the lack of eye strain. I dont know exactly what causes it but I havent had it since I used this monitor. To give an example. On my old monitor, I could use it for even as little as one hour and suddenly would get this sensation like i just couldnt keep my eyes open. My eyes felt annoyingly sensitive to light and Id have to walk away or take a nap to let my eyes recuperate.

**************UPDATE After 1-Full Day Using****************** My initial concern with this monitor (detailed below) was its poor text rendering--very fuzzy letters. After using the monitor for a whole day and night, another major problem has arisen: I cant adjust screen brightness when the room is dim (such as when using the monitor at night). The light from auto-adjust is so bright it makes it hard to keep looking at the screen. This was a great price for a 24-inch monitor, but between the fuzzy text and the too great brightness, the monitor will have to go back, sadly. **********Original Review************** We just got this monitor. Set up was VERY easy relative to other monitors weve bought. Up and running in 5-minutes. We appreciate the cord management system, too. We fit both the power cord and the audio/video cord in the slot inside the arm that holds up the monitor. Its also very easy to adjust brightness and color profiles using the buttons under the monitor next to the always-lit (but unobtrusive) white LED power button. What we werent prepared for, having used for many years now only retina displays, is how painful it is to look at a 1080p... screen. Makes me feel like Im back in elementary school with those ancient machines whose screens were difficult to look at for more than an hour. The resolution of this monitor makes it suitable ONLY for videos the quality of which we dont care about. We wouldnt want to watch a movie on it. More importantly, text renders very blurry (maybe this is just standard for 1080p). We wanted an additional monitor so we could separate our coding tasks, but the fuzziness of 1080p defeats the purpose since we cant look at the characters long without hurting our eyes. One marginal (still unsatisfactory) solution weve found is to stand at least 3 feet away from the screen. But still, looking back and forth between a retina screen and the 1080p screen almost gives us vertigo. Were floored at how poor non-retina, non-4K... resolution is (for text, especially). Why is there still a demand for fuzzy text-rendering screens in 2021? Were pretty sure well send this back and cough up the substantially higher fee for a 4K monitor that renders text suitable for many hours of screen reading.

I basically bought this because of Evans review. I also have a background in photography so hearing him say how decent it was spurred me to purchase it. My last monitor was some cheapo Best Buy garbage just so I could have a monitor. This naturally is leagues ahead. When looking at the photos I did in University using an iMac and comparing them to this monitor and my prints, I do feel like the vibrance is a just a tad too high, but its default settings are quite similar to what I used to use back then. The menu buttons blow my mind because it actually tells you what they do instead of the BB monitor where pressing them was a guessing game on how to navigate. Certain features seem to be locked an unavailable for adjustments, so I cant reduce the vibrancy on the monitor for whatever reason. My biggest complaint is the idea that I had to spend an extra $50 for a taller monitor because Im taller than most people, that just feels crappy. Also the Amazon community said you can adjust the height of the stand? But Im not seeing any clue on how and the manual doesnt explain this either. I just need it like, 2 inches shorter. Otherwise, I love and enjoy the monitor but the extra $50 left a sour taste in my mouth.

Just replaced my old monitor and this new one works great ! so far... hopefully will last me a long time.

Daily usage, hasnt worn out. Came in a nice box. One of the inserts is wobbly, I am fairly sure its on my desktop towers slot but then its got no signal detected until I jiggle it into place. Fairly frequent, Im getting my tower repaired soon.

This monitor is clear and crisp. The price was right for a desk computer that is not taxed overly. I would not recommend this size monitor for gaming.

I’m not tech savvy so I can’t say much. But the monitor has a good look to it. It’s very well balanced, so I’m not worried about it falling over. I’m very happy it has a display port input, it also vga, & hdmi inputs, but I’m using the display port. It has a good sound quality too, but I using speakers just because they’re louder. I got it because it’s supposed to be easier on your eyes, I can’t say much yet because I haven’t used it much - I’ll just have to see later. I’m not using it for gaming, only school work, but honestly I think the picture quality uploads good.

My workstation consists of 4 monitors that I use to stare at charts and other small, fast moving data for hours at a time. Ive been getting headaches and having trouble focusing lately so I figured it may be time for an upgrade. I ordered one of these monitors to see if the eyecare technology was worth the hype. The difference in this display vs the 3 older ones I have is just incredible. The lighting is even and clean. I dont really know how to explain it but it just feels much more natural to look at. The issue Ive had with every monitor is probably the same as most people. I felt like I was always having to play with the brightness and contrast when bouncing back and forth between programs with a darker background and reading documents with a white background. This has solved that issue with its automatic light sensing and eyecare technology. The price is also spectacular for what this monitor offers. Ill be ordering 3 more to update the rest. Thanks BenQ! Update: Its been 7 months now with zero issues. Update: Almost a year now and still no issues. Also a small plus Ive noticed.. The plastic has a matte finish and is easy to clean. Other monitors Ive had start to look old quickly because the smooth plastic scratches easily while youre dusting it. Might not mean much to most people but Im a nut and thought it was worth mentioning.

I had a 27 BenQ and bought this to pair with. After a month, Costco selling other brands were much cheaper.
