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 have known this Taiwanese brand for years and owned their accessories before from CD-Rs to their card media readers and the brand grew into me as trusted and dependable. The screen quality itself is superb for an IPS panel. The contrast ratio may not seem like the ones you see on Korean brands of the same type of display but the colors are bright and are faithfully reproduced if you can manually tweak the display settings bypassing their Eye care tech. The only thing that keeps me from giving this product 5 stars is the price for the refresh rate it has. We now have plenty of same-sized panels from MSI and even Asus with the same display for slightly above the price with higher refresh rates as of this review. Also, their built-in speakers are weak and you will have to provide your own. You cant increase the volume past a certain limit even if you plugged in your own speakers.

Not blown away by the quality or anything. Works as expected.

they look okay, they aint no 144hz but they get the job done. ive had them for about 3 years and no issues at all. speakers are cheeks though. great starting out monitor

11-3-2020 --I had email and phone conversation with BenQ Customer support. None of their recommendations fixed the issue, which is that the screen goes black for 2 seconds 20X -40X a day. This monitor is used for Work, so in addition to being irritating, the situation is also disruptive, as I work from home like so many today, and in front of my monitor from 8am to 6pm. After none of the recommendations worked, they asked me to ship back the monitor in the original box - yeah, like i kept that box. I have NEVER in 20 years had this issue with a monitor. So the next option required, pack monitor up in a box so that no damage occurs during shipping, otherwise you are responsible for damage. They did send RMA slip. I suggested that they ship me a new replacement monitor (same model) and I would then ship back the current dysfunctional unit in that monitor packing box as an exchange. The ONLY option is to be without a monitor for who-knows-how-long and ship back to BenQ. I need a monitor of some type to do my job, so it is challenging to ship this unit back, and wait indefinitely for another monitor. (no timeline was given for how long to determine issue, etc) . If you choose to buy BenQ and do not get a lemon, you are in good shape. But if you do get a lemon, the customer service options are TERRIBLE. For now, I am going to make-do until I can afford to buy another monitor from a different company than #BenQ *** If I could give a negative star rating, I would. Since my review, the issue is getting worse. I work from home, and on my monitor 8 hours a day. The monitor goes blank 5X an hour. 40X a day. I have checked every connection, changed the setup, etc. I bought this expensive monitor to replace an $80 17in that I had for 5 years, and never a problem. UNBELIEVABLY FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!! For some reason, the screen goes black for about 1-2 seconds about constantly. Suggestions are to check for loose connections. That is not the issue but the only explanation or fixes given for constant screen issues. Very annoying since I use this monitor for work, and during a presentation the black screen is incredible disruptive. I have never had other cheaper monitors to hav this issue. I cannot recommend BenQ.

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.

If you are looking for a monitor that gives your eyes comfort-this is the best deal. For gaming, there are better monitors out there.

Got this monitor because my old one met a tragic fate of falling off of my desk (thankfully I have a monitor mount now). Overall its a pretty good monitor. I dont use it for gaming or anything, but the quality seems pretty decent. One of the downsides I see from the monitor is that the color is very almost washed compared to my main monitor, which, even after some color correction, I still cant seem to fix. The monitor isnt really good for gaming at all. Its 60hz, which is not optimal in the slightest for more intense games. Ideally, a monitor like h this is better suited to be a budget monitor or a second monitor.

I am very impressed with this company. The monitor is immaculate. The shipping materials are A+. Monitor arrived 4 days earlier than expected. The monitor is great so far. I researched and bought it for its adaptive brightness controls and advertised anti-eye fatigue technology. Image is very clear and I like the stand. So far I am happy with this purchase.

First off, I spent weeks over analyzing reviews and when I finally went to buy them, they sold out. So I had to wait about two weeks, was about to buy other brands (Viewsonic, sceptre, Acer, and HP) because I was impatient. So glad I didn’t. I swapped out 2 (two) 22inch Dell monitors (which both were different bezels and models) one was brighter than the other and one had too much yellowing. It was definitely time to swap. I really don’t play any games on my work computer, so I can’t comment on the games or refresh rate being too low at i What I did try was some movies (At 720p and 1080p) and YouTube streaming. The picture, brightness, and colors are super crisp! The refresh rate at 60hz is fine for what we do. If you work in the office, this is more than perfect!! Surprisingly, the speakers are ok, definitely made for listening to a webinar or a team meeting... or music on low. But, to be clear, I won’t be using these monitors to watch movies, but it was a great test of the clarity and colors. I’ll be using this for Microsoft, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and company programs. The viewing angles are great too! My wife said I didn’t need new monitors but after I bought them anyway, set them up and she saw them set up, she told me she is going to use them too. We both use the same HP Docking station so works out! See the before and after pictures. I also attached these monitors on Amazon’s Dual Monitor desk mount for $39.99. So much cleaner and less crap on the desk. One thing I’ll say, the flicker free is for real!!! You may see some on the pictures that I uploaded but my wife and I literally DO NOT see any flickering! Also, we hated that the other older monitors had large bezels that prevented us from being more efficient and had to move out apps or word documents around so we could read them. Now, we can literally read everything with little to no distraction or disruption. Yes, there is at least just shy of a 1/4 inch bezel, but after dealing with a 2 inch bezel gap between the two older monitors, this is glorious!! The two bezels on the BenQ combined are still thinner than one of the monitors on the Dell. Trust me, Especially with working from home during the pandemic, this was causing more pissed off days. Also, the adaptive brightness is also working and very subtle but works! It does come with HDMI cables, but my HP docking station has two DP ports. Yes recommend!!!

I purchased these monitors because I needed to work from home due to my states stay at home order. For the first week, I was only using my laptop for work and it was not a pleasant experience. Once I realized how unproductive I was and the SAH order was going to last longer than anticipated I knew I needed monitors. I did some research and at the time Amazon wasnt shipping most monitors for 3 weeks. I needed to receive something faster than that. I found these and ordered two because Amazon was shipping in a few days. I also saw the amazon reviews were generally positive. The cherry on top was that they werent terribly expensive. A few days later they arrived and I havent looked back since. Overall Im very please with the monitors. Everything looks crisp and I think theyre great value. The feature set is impressive particularly the low blue light and intelligent lighting. Theres a plethora of connector ports too for any situation. I would definitely recommend these again.
