BenQ GW2480 Eye Care 24 inch IPS 1080p UltraSlim Monitor | Optimized for Home & Office with Adaptive Brightness Technology | Speakers

Good: -Its noticablly more colorful than traditional TN LED monitors -LIghtweight ultra slim bezel is sharp looking. -Blue light and zero flicker -Vesa mountable (which I use a dual monitor set -up) -I personally havent seen any limitations in lag or sloppy response times yet. I have my settings maxed in the games I play. BenQ has a three year warranty on there screens. Bad: -Not nearly as bright as traditional monitors -IPS screens in general and this one very much bleeds light out of the corners. -Trade of slim bezel smooth looking design for weakness and the potential of dust getting under the screen while cleaning -Speakers are awful but what can you expect. For who it was bought for its having sound where they dont now. My goal was to set up a dual monitor situation for my home office. So I wanted to have a matching set for ease of use and matching the screen settings. So I will be buying a second one to finish the pair. So even though this will be used on my business center, I first hooked it up to my gaming rig and did a little bit of photo rendering to see if I like the screen. I would use this with confidence for gaming , especially for working with photos. Games and pictures look much more vivid. I think the biggest drawback is how dark it appears in a dark room. I am still working with the settings a bit. I watched a Kong skull island on here, to test the special effects scenes, the bleeding on a wide screen with the black bars on top and bottom really, really stick out. You can definitely see corner bleeding. That being said the quality of the video was great, so it was a trade off. I would not watch TV on here much, or at least without getting some speakers anyway. I wanted to keep the price down and still get a quality product, I feel this was good fit.

Using this as a wall-mounted vertical (portrait) display monitor, HDMI input, showing a slideshow at a business, near the business entrances. It worked right out of the box. The wide 178/178-degree viewing angle was the selling point. Not using DisplayPort, so I dont see any of the DIsplayPort issues mentioned by others. Walking past the monitor horizontally, the brightness is not totally continuous, but its very good - just fine for my clients purposes. Ive had several unsolicited positive comments on the increased viewing angle since replacing the old monitor. So far, no quality issues. A big plus (typical these days) is that if the power fails while the monitor is on, it powers back up by itself. BTW using the Gofanco HDMI -> twisted-pair dual-monitor extender (plus HDMI pass-through, so Im really feeding 3 monitors), also purchased from Amazon, with shielded CAT6 cable, and that is working flawlessly. FYI, resolution of the Gofanco device is limited to 1024, which is not an issue with me.

Install Flash Player Solid monitor for the price and looks really good. Didnt want to spend a lot of money on a secondary monitor as it would be for the kids and need to be able to put it away constantly when finished to save space around the house. The current idea is to use this monitor with a wireless hdmi transmitter/receiver running a VM+GPGPU to provide my kids with a extra computer. Test Configuration:[Receiving Hardware] BenQ GW2780 27 Inch IPS 1080p HDMI Monitor w/ Speakers OREI Wireless HDMI Transmitter Receiver Extender 1080P Kit with IR Remote IBRA Orange HDMI Cable 3ft - UHD HDMI 2.0 (4K@60Hz) Ready -18Gbps-28AWG Logitech MK345 Wireless Combo – Full-sized Keyboard with Palm Rest and Comfortable Right-Handed Mouse Configuration:[Test Source System] CPU: AMD ThreadRipper 1950X RAM: G.Skill 128GB DDR4 @2933Mhz GPU: MSI Radeon RX Vega 64 - Driver 18.9.3 NVMe: 2 x Samsung 960 PRO 1 TB Software: VMWare Workstation 15 Pro - Windows 10 NVMe Guest OS [1GB Shared Video Memory] Configuration:[Source System] "Not able to test yet, QNAP in RMA process" QNAP TVS-1282 4.3.5 GPGPU: GeForce GTX 1050TI Virtualization: macOS High Sierra / Windows 10 So since my QNAP is not here, I decided to test with my workstation machine just to see how well the OREI RX/TX worked for 1080p source/destination. As you can see from the screenshots attached, theres no more then 7ft between the source/destination, originally I tried putting it in a different area, but due to line of sight issues with my computer, the logitech keyboard/mouse input was very laggy, and the hdmi receiver dropped once, but that was due to moving the equipment around. But anyways, there was/is no latency from the video source and it successfully passes audio through the VM to the monitor with no latency. But wait, even better, the VM is running on the BenQ monitor as an extended screen from my workstation, so this is twice as intensive for image processing on the OREI. Other then the lackluster Logitech MK345 distance/input, even had to use an ASUS USB extender I found for the USB receiver to get a good input signal. Uploaded a 4K 15 second video running on the VM playing a youtube video with audio. The monitor colors stayed rich, good contrast and quality sturdiness (really needed because of the kids), hoping the gaming is smooth with no tearing, but will update once my QNAP is back. Will update once I get my QNAP back, and test a full blown DirectX game setup with the GeForce 1050 TI in passthrough, I hope others find this useful, as I was unsure of the power of this device due to the NAS/PC-to-VM requirements.

Great monitors. I purchased two for my workspace. You can tell they’ve been developed on a budget. For instance, screen can sometimes shift from inside the bezel. Only seemed to be an issue when moving the monitors to their mounts, however, it’s a fantastic deal for the price and it’s been everything I’ve expected so far. Great monitors at a great price.
