Awesome for the price, definitely consider.

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2015

Verified Purchase

I got this monitor on sale and so for the price I paid (Just over $150) this is definitely a five star product.

This monitor is very good and provides you with a clear and crisp screen as well as a good viewing angle. The size of this screen is very nice and allows for a good resolution-to-size ratio. It reacts quickly and I have not noticed anything odd or wrong with the product thus far. I would like to state however that the button placement as well as the settings does bother me a slight bit. They are placed on the size and you can't always tell when the monitor is on as well as the settings being rather a pain to access as there are no clear indications as to what does what just dots. As for the technical details this screen is viable for almost any game as well as movies etc. It is only 60hz, which for some people isn't high enough, but for the vast majority it is more than enough.

A lot of people think you need the best graphics cards or processors or even monitors for video games, this is not true. The large majority of video games will play very smoothly on this monitor and unless you like to buy the best of everything or have a large amount of money to spend this will more than work for you.

Anything with an asterisk(*) I will go into further detail about below.

-View angle 5/5
-Resolution 5/5
-Bevel 4/5
-Settings 4/5
-Buttons 4/5
-Inputs 5/5 (includes HDMI)
-Compatibility 4/5*

So about the compatibility, this isn't a direct complaint to the monitor itself, however I felt it should be stated anyway. If you intend to use this monitor with windows 8/8.1 it will definitely work, but you may notice some oddities. Due to the nature of Windows 8 there is a lot of transparency and you may notice that some windows you will be able to see through slightly. This doesn't affect the use too much, however it may bug some people. I for one switched back to Windows 7 and do miss some features of 8, but I am going to wait for Windows 10 before changing again.

Overall this monitor is wonderful and if you can pick it up for under $160 I would definitely recommend it, I may at some point purchase two more and run three of them for gaming.

Easy on my eyes! Superb images & Easy Setup

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

I was experiencing horrible eye burning and fatigue after several hours of my 8-10 hour regiment behind a computer screen until I recently purchased a new PC system and included two of these monitors. What a difference on my eyes, immediately! No more burning! No more bright floaters! Feels like cool drops of refresher have been dropped in my eyes. Don't seem to have the eye fatigue problems anymore and the clarity of the screen compared to my previous is undeniable. I don't do gaming so have no idea if these do the job but for business purposes, these are the real deal at the right price point. Simply, when putting all that together, nothing beats them in my book!
The adjustment buttons are soft but crisp which makes adjustments easier to make. The resolution is sharp and easy to read finer details than my previous HP monitors. The larger size screen is a surprisingly robust display of anything on display and the double monitor set-up spans 50 inches. Using these primarily for my business is so much better than before and again I must emphasize the low level of eye strain.
Pros: Easy setup, clean imaging, screen turns dark at resting, adjustment buttons sooth & crisp, little to no eye strain.
Cons: Cable plugins are difficult to see, no horizontal adjustment, bezel too thin on top for camera ( my Logitech monitor base mount touches screen).

it's not just the product; it's also the seller

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

After having bought a few of these in the past couple of years, I knew what to expect: solid performance, reasonable price, reliable. Shipping was an issue the last time I ordered one. My first attempt to buy this had the box getting lost without a trace. Amazon contacted me to offer to send me another one, which arrived in just a couple of days. The person for whom I bought it was happy, I was happy, presumably Amazon was happy. Btw, this monitor is an excellent buy. It has flicker-free backlighting. Some people cannot tolerate the flickering. Most people can't see anything faster than 24-30 flickers per second (hence, the popular frame rates of 24 for film and 30 for electronic media). I've read that, even though one may not see the flicker, it can still contribute to fatigue or headaches. I can't say enough about BenQ monitors. I have several, including a 32 inch 10 bit VA panel (3000:1 static) with QHD resolution. It doesn't matter what is on the screen. Everything looks good. Skin of all complexions looks good. The 3x wider-than-IPS contrast range gives images an almost 3 dimensional appearance, despite not being stereoscopic. Only an OLED screen has better black. Those displays are still priced in the stratosphere. Color accuracy in the 27 inch version is not quite as good as that of the 32 inch versions. Apart from photographers and film makers, this is the monitor I recommend to most clients. 27 is the new 24, which was the new 21, that being the new 17, which started out as a 12 inch monochromatic CRT in the '80s. Who remembers the VT220? Vax? GCR? Pertec? Byte multiplexer?

At this price, you can't really go wrong.

Reviewed in Canada on April 7, 2020

Verified Purchase

Let me put you into context. I've been working in IT for 15 years, so I am not completely unknowledgeable about technology. All in all, this is a great monitor, but it really depends on several factors. For instance, I first plugged it into a Microsoft Surface through a docking station (not Microsoft, though). The picture was awful and I almost thought I'd received a defective unit. But then I plugged it in a gaming computer and it was much better. Although you need to remember, this is a LCD Monitor, not a LED (oLED) or IPS. The picture quality is really not going to be the same. But for what it's worth, I think this is a great deal for a regular, day to day monitor. Just don't expect the impossible :)

My old monitor died and I needed one than still used DVI, this one fit the bill. Has audio input, which I havent used, so more monitor than I needed. It could also be used to watch tv if you have a cable or satellite box.

Great for work/browsing, horrendous audio

Reviewed in Canada on November 12, 2020

For the price, this is a great monitor! It's not top of the line, but perfectly fine for work and regular internet browsing, watching videos or movies, etc. However, do not count on the built-in speakers as your main source of audio, it's incredibly bad, even for casual use.
