Review on BenQ EW3280U Entertainment Connectivity Speakers 3841X2160, High Dynamic Range, by Jay Hart

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Big design flaw

Let me get this straight, I bought it from Best Buy (maybe it matters to some), the HUGE design flaw or omission by Benq here is the BI+ feature. Believe me, this is NOT good. I ignored the comments of some online reviews thinking it was an attitude. But the problem is real and obvious. When I select any HDR mode (except Display HDR), the monitor's brightness automatically dims after a few minutes - ugh! Should at least be in control, the good things about the monitor are nice colors, remote control, speakers (but I use a Sonic Blaster Katana), looks good. DisplayPort cable not included. Excellent reading mode and paper mode. See, if you can only live with 1 HDR display setting, then you're good to go. By the way, it looks good on this display and without HDR. At $800 it's not cheap and I'd love to turn that feature off and recommend it to everyone, but that feature sucks. Imagine that the screen dims during the game, set your priorities and only then buy. I wouldn't recommend it, at least until Benq fixes it. I returned mine yesterday.
