Review on BenQ EW3280U Entertainment Connectivity Speakers 3841X2160, High Dynamic Range, by William Rogers

Revainrating 2 out of 5

For that! in my view

I've been using this monitor for 3 days and I'm already over it.1. To run this in 4K with FULL HDR you need to downsample. Big failure! To use 4:4:4 you need to downgrade HDR.2. Bleeding is noticeable.3. The light sensor in this thing is completely broken! They need to provide some kind of firmware update that will allow us to TURN IT OFF! I'm sitting here watching YouTube and with a very stable office light source I can see the brightness jumping around. Up, up, down, down, down, up, down, up, up. This is very annoying! I'm still waiting for Konami to step in and tell me I have extra lives.4. Every time I watch SDR content in full screen, the screen gets very dark. There is no way to change it.5. My monitor didn't come with a USB-C cable so it really stinks. 6. Worst of all, HDR is completely useless on this monitor. If HDR is enabled in Windows and then ANY HDR mode is selected, when playing content in full screen mode (HDR or SDR), the screen will dim constantly for a few seconds and then come back and display a different message (HDR: Emulation , HDR: standard, standard ). It just jumps between these settings. I will be returning this monitor. Unfortunately I'll have to wait for a replacement first, so I'll stick with it.
