Review on BenQ BL2420PT 23.8" Widescreen DisplayPort Monitor - 2560X1440 Resolution, IPS Panel, Built-In Speakers, USB Hub by Robert Walker

Got the monitor today. I bought it primarily because I want a higher resolution than 1920x1080. Unfortunately, no matter how I connect it to my MacBook Air (2013), I only get 1920 x 1080. (I've tried HDMI, VGA, and DVI - all with mini-displayport dongles.) A bit of research and it seems like there is my only option for full resolution is to use a mini displayport to displayport cable. Of course, this is the only cable that does not come with the monitor. (It would be nice if the Revain manual or description said I needed this cable so I could order it at the same time as the monitor. They print the Mac logo on their box but I wouldn't. I'm sure I won't say it's a Mac device now.) As soon as I get a new cable and (hopefully) get the resolution I paid for, I'll update this review. At 1080p, colors are fantastic and text is crisp and easy to read. and everything was pretty good to get out of the box. The Vesa mount worked for me. My favorite feature is the USB port on the back, which I use to connect a third monitor (ViewSonic) with a GoFanco connector. All cables are now hidden behind the monitors and I have a USB connection again! I think I will like this monitor. I will keep you informed.
