Review: Keep in mind this review is in comparison to my old benq 1080/60 monitor and a Samsung 4K/60 TV - neither of which cost me an arm and a leg and in truth this monitor cost more than my TV (by a small amount) - I am not a monitor/tv tech person so don’t expect detailed analysis on ghosting etc. Tested on a Series X and PS5 - 1440p works fine as does the 120hz mode! First off, delivery was fantastic. Got the box upstairs and unpackaged it - if it looks like it’s been previously opened this is due to a ‘benq power cord swap’ - I have no idea but hey ho. The monitor itself is sleek, beautiful and feels robust/very well built. Inside the box along with the monitor; Stand for monitor which seems to allow up and down movements, left to right turning not a huge arc and tilt. You can’t turn the monitor from landscape to portrait on the provided mount. One hdmi cable One display port cable One usb cable I’ll also add that the main power brick is external, so keep that in mind if cable tidying etc is a big deal. The monitor itself truly shows the age of my other pieces especially when loading up Apex Legends, Overwatch 2, Forza Horizon 5 and God of War Ragnarok. Crisp deep blacks that look lovely and ‘inky’, colours truly come to life on this 27” IPS panel and in all honesty it makes my games look even better. I didn’t fiddle with the settings much, having watched a video I set the HDRi to Game, AMA to 3 and audio to cinema. I tried out Overwatch 2 on the frame rate mode and holy smokes it is so darn buttery smooth! A moment that truly made me appreciate the upgrade and in my opinion justified my spending. It’s only as I was playing OW2 or Apex for example that I began to notice just how blurry the picture would get on my older pieces when turning/moving fast. A huge difference even if you still play games at 60fps it just seems more crisp! So yeah I was blown away, I didn’t notice any black light bleed on my panel which is an almost guaranteed thing on IPS apparently but nothing caught my eye. The speakers are actually incredible given the size and the fact they’re packed into such a small unit. Obviously not as good as a decent sound bar or sound system but definitely usable if not more than adequate! i did compare monitors before purchasing this one, some might say there are better offerings but having had BenQ before I knew I’d pick this one. I highly suggest those that are more inclined towards the technical details of monitors to search this model up on YouTube as there are a fair few detailed reviews. But all in all? 10/10 for me and worth every penny. My games have never looked so superb. If you’re looking to upgrade like me it is without a doubt the best move!

Review: I ordered this monitor to use in addition to my existing Benq GW2765 which I use for general office work for a little more gaming performance (Freesync 2 premium HDR and 165hz refresh). I didnt want to go to a larger size as it'll be used for both productivity as well as gaming and didn't want to get too carried away. The good - The screen is lovely, an even backlight with no bleed or dead/stuck pixels and a very vibrant display (although being IPS there is some glow), it also has a good range of gamma adjustment. I didn't find it dim as reviews and other contributors have mentioned, quite the opposite infact (although used in a north facing room, with a light source directly above, but not direct sunlight). HDR; *does* make a difference, although I generally leave it off, in God of War for example it does make the visuals "pop". The inbuilt sound is excellent for a non-audiophile, I've ditched my bookshelf speakers as it really is quite acceptable and produces enough clarity, volume and bass for gaming and other tasks when tweaked to my preference. The Bad - Although adjustable for height and rotation, this is limited (not quite enough height at 100mmor enough rotation at 15 degrees); I mention this primarily because I am used to productivity type monitors which bend every which way, so it was quite jarring. If I find it too limited in future the monitor has a standard 10x10 VESA mount so this is able to be remedied fairly easily at minimal cost. This is a nitpick really as the current fashion for pronged display stands in this type of gaming monitor seems to be pretty standard in this monitors price segment. The Ugly - Incorrect power cable in the box, not a big deal for myself as I robbed a cloverleaf (aka mickey mouse) IEC lead from an old laptop charger. But it would be irritating if I hadn't had one on hand. The box was even labelled "Benq power lead swap". Shame they swapped it with an incorrect IEC 13 lead. I am pleased with it and it does feel like a genuine upgrade over my existing screen for a relatively low price for what it has on offer, with the certain caveats mentioned above. NB. I purchased this on the Black Friday offer of <£290. At this price it is good value and was a genuine saving. At time of writing it is now >£400, at that price many other options are available.
