Review on Experience Stunning Visuals with BenQ EW2780U 27" Monitor featuring High Dynamic Range and IPS Technology with HDMI Connectivity by Mahendra Elias

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good monitor, Mac users beware.

Overall a good monitor. Good colors and a crisp display (personally I prefer the colors and features of the EX2780q, which I also own). Despite having a 4k display and USB-C, this monitor (depending on when it was made) may need a firmware update to run at 60fps on M1 Macs. Unfortunately, in order to update the firmware, you have to send it back to the manufacturer, which will take 1 to 2 weeks. There is no way to do the update yourself (believe me I've tried). It works perfectly under Windows, via Displayport and without updating the firmware. So if you use it for Windows then go for it. The stand might be a little disappointing, but I have an external VESA stand so I don't have to worry about anything. It's also a good monitor if you can find one for $400 or less.
