Review on BenQ Proprietary Ultra Slim AmazonBasics DisplayPort 24", 1920X1080, Frameless, IPS by Rene Bowman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

combined with a great price for a monitor of this size

I bought this monitor to use with my new 13" MacBook Pro laptop - it comes in very handy when I need a bigger screen or when I'm working on projects for my graduate program. I have standard 24" Dell dual monitors at work, so I'm fairly familiar with the size, and I'm intrigued by this monitor's eye-care technology - anti-flicker and low blue light combined with a great Price for a monitor this size. I should also note that since I work on the computer for most of the day, I also usually wear special computer glasses (Gunnar brand) that reduce blue light, but I was hoping to keep these glasses at work if this care technology is eyes will be everything that should have been. For now (limited use over the past few weeks) this is an amazing monitor. I don't use it for gaming and won't use it for graphics work, but personally I wouldn't have a problem with either of those things, regardless of the specs. The multiport adapter works very well with my MacBook - just plug it into the laptop, close the laptop and it will automatically appear on the monitor. The display is bright and sharp, and I only notice one difference from my laptop because it's a retina display. It's a great monitor, I like the very thin bezels on the top and sides as well as its very light (as you'd expect) and unobtrusive looks. I've also found that using a computer without glasses gives me less eye strain than using a regular computer without glasses, which makes me very happy. This means I can leave my computer glasses at work and don't have to take them with me everywhere. In fact, I hardly noticed any eyestrain while using this monitor. I haven't played with the settings yet. Since I'm using it with a Mac, I know it works a little differently - I don't think there's a dedicated driver for it on an Apple computer.
