BenQ EW2780Q 2560X1440 Entertainment Monitor with Integrated Speakers, Flicker-Free Technology, HDMI, HD, IPS Display Review

Bought it with my 2015 iMac. A few things to understand, buy a Displayport to Thunderbolt2 cable. The only truly supported full resolution option on this generation of Macs. The iMac desktop size is always set to 1440p. They say 5k but it's impossible to see in such a small resolution. That's why this monitor is the perfect second monitor for your Mac desktop. No 4k screen required. Other than higher dpi or better backlight options, 1440 or 2k is the best option for a 27 inch monitor. Hdr…

It was a good price for a 2K/27" monitor and it gives a great adjustable picture. There are speakers I wanted that are perfectly adequate. There is no USB or USB hub that I want. Below is a sticky part that looks like it contains an IR receiver, but it doesn't seem to serve any purpose, so it looks a bit ugly. The stand is smooth and durable. Generally recommended. NB I have to write real reviews (too many fake ones). I actually purchased this item with my own money with no incentive or…

The monitor is easy to set up and produces great images. Unfortunately, after about 30 days of use, it developed a vertical stripe with missing green pixels. I reported this to BenQ Support along with a photo of the defect. They immediately offered to exchange the monitor and pay shipping both ways. The new monitor arrived quickly and works great.

For the price of this monitor, you really can't go wrong. It's very bright in standard mode and HDR, and the response time is great for gaming. Blacks aren't the best in the world and it's only 60Hz, but those are two things I was willing to sacrifice at this price point for 1440 HDR.

I was blown away by the quality and versatility of this excellent monitor. I like it so much that I am considering buying another one to replace the 22 inch Acer monitor. I love the fact that it has HDMI, DisplayPort as well as a USB-C port. When playing YouTube videos with the USB-C port connected, the video produces acceptable sound since the monitor has a rudimentary speaker.

The monitor was great until it stopped working. I now have four flickering columns if it turns on at all. I tried a new cable and connected it to two different computers. This is a very expensive monitor for such a short lifespan. I am really disappointed!

I got 3 of these within a month or 2 about 6 months ago. I'm perfectly happy. Size and resolution are just right for my purposes. The price seems reasonable for what they are. I don't need 4K so these work fine. I like opening financial charts to full screen and back. I tried 32" at this resolution but it was too big.

Broke after 10 months of use. There is no support, only emails are answered. I've been waiting for support for the second week to fix the issue or send a replacement monitor. --- 01/15/21 --- Still dealing with email support. No useful information was answered. The monitor worked fine for ten months, now the screen randomly goes black, then gray with noise, then black and then comes back again. This happened after it stopped working with a DisplayPort connection. I changed the cable to a…

It's hard to find a great monitor with built-in speakers, but the BenQ EW2780Q is perfect for it. I bought a used Revain - very good and basically like new as the only minor sign of wear was on the back. I mainly use it for surfing the internet and working from home, so I don't need cinema sound. The picture quality is excellent for my needs. This is a well built monitor.
