BenQ has impressed me since purchasing a top-of-the-line 32-incher for my professional photography, so when my sweetheart needed more visual real estate for non-photographic stuff, I purchased this super-affordable 24-inch 1080p. It is amazingly effective and well-designed. Excellent eye-care software, easy to set up and fine-tune. It's not 4K, but the 1080p is very useable for streaming, surfing, and regular work. Color fidelity is excellent.

The monitor seems well built. The colors look nice and consistent. I received my unit with no dead pixels and have had it for a couple of months now. It has some extra bells and whistles compared to other monitors in this price range; some are nice, some are kind of pointless. I go over the features and my impressions below.The Good:* Quality, consistent colors* DisplayPort MST: Excellent for multimonitor setups! This allows you to daisy chain DisplayPort monitors, allowing up to 4 monitors off a single DisplayPort connection on your computer.* Built-In Microphone: One thing I did not expect was that this also includes a button on the front of your monitor for muting the microphone. Handy for momentarily muting the mic or just in general for those privacy-conscious. Note: The microphone is off by default and you need to turn it on in the monitor settings.The Meh:* This monitor is capable of adjusting brightness based on ambient light. A neat idea often used on phones, tablets and laptops, but seems less useful for desktops where the lighting conditions don't really change as drastically. I turned it off and set my brightness manually, in part because it doesn't go as dim as I would like it to.* The monitor stand doesn't have a hole in the bottom for routing cables. It does have one in the top, oddly enough, but that's more useful as a handle than for actually routing cables through.The Bad:* The speakers are almost unlistenable, but that's the norm for monitor speakers.The Bad:* The speakers are awful, but that's the norm for monitor speakers.

Wanted a decent monitor for my kid and it turned out a great monitor.The screen is good on the eyes and he likes it.

Love these monitors!

I basically bought this because of Evan's 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 it's 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 can't 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 I'm taller than most people, that just feels crappy. Also the Amazon community said you can adjust the height of the stand? But I'm not seeing any clue on how and the manual doesn't 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.

I love this monitor. It meets are my hopes and needs. I came well packaged. It was easy to set up. Very nice looking. Quality picture. Vibrant colors.

It works for my purpose. I use Zoom, YouTube, and some logging programs so typing in data. I don't edit any videos or photos. Using a Mac Mini with the M1 chip. No issues so far. I like the stand is not huge and monitor can be adjusted up and down and many other positions.

As a programmer I wanted to try these but I was disappointed in how the text looks. These are a great value in terms of low cost / performance but it just wasn’t right for me. I’m using a MBP and the contrast boost for coding mode looked cool but I just couldn’t get past text looking pixelated. These monitors have standard thickness. It’s a nice clean white color that looks great! I’d say if you are a programmer and don’t mind the pixelated text then these are a good buy. They are versatile in that you can rotate them 90 degrees but even with a 27” monitor that was too vertically tall for me to feel useful. I didn’t have them for long enough to talk about long term performance but I’ve read these should last.I also ordered the 32” to use as a horizontal monitor but it arrived DOA with the LCD cracked so didn’t get to test it out but I imagine it’s equivalent to the 27 just bigger.
