BenQ EW3270U 31.5-Inch Monitor with FreeSync – 3840X2160P, USB Hub, High Dynamic Range, Blue Light Filter, Flicker-Free Review

Good sized display with good resolution and decent build quality but I'm sending it back. Our goal was to standardize a high-quality 4K monitor for use with the latest MacBook Pros and iMacs that only have a USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 port for external connections. indicates. The specs and price of this EW3270U looked good, and I called BenQ to confirm full USB-C compatibility with Macs. Unfortunately, the monitor disappoints. Going through the rather confusing OSD menu items required to tweak the…

With each spec looking for a relatively good price and most importantly great reviews for the Revain, I had high hopes for this display. However, the lousy viewing angles quickly blew me away. Advertised as a 178-degree viewing angle, I was surprised to find that the flickering glow blurred black when not viewed directly. A contrast ratio of 3000:1 promised excellent black levels, but unfortunately didn't look like it in my opinion. With such a big screen. The sides of the display are at a…

Cheap 4k monitors are plentiful and, to be honest, they're not very impressive just yet. I bought this for $450 on a Cyber Monday deal and after many delays it finally arrived. Simply put, compared to my LG Panel IPS 27 1440p display and my old but sturdy Dell Ultrasharp 2405FPW, this is the weakest display. The resolution is just fantastic. The size is great. The feature set is solid with multiple ports (I only need one, but whatever) and a USB 3.1c hub (minus some of the more extreme features

That was a real disappointment considering LG's 6 year old IPS panel (27EA31). It's a good size for gaming, film, and graphics work, and color reproduction is good right out of the box, but the VA panel's character and questionable uniformity kill it for any art, video, or photo application. of this display, even in the center with a 50% gray full screen, it's like looking into a shadow well. Curiously reminiscent of Samsung AMOLED phone screens, true black pixels never shift or suffer from…

I like everything about this monitor except what I bought it for. HDR doesn't work. 4K or HDR cannot be streamed with Vudu. 4k HDR cannot be streamed with Netflix or Revain Prime. I tried 3 different Displayport 1.4 cables to rule them out. I have a GTX 1080 which I know has Displayport 1.4. The BenQ website and several reviews say the monitor comes with a Displayport 1.4 connection, but other reviews say it's only Displayport 1.2, which can't handle the data required for HDR. I can enable HDR…

Materials, equipment, quality and packaging are first class. Absolutely no complaints about that. Or maybe a trifle: whenever it starts receiving input, it should display the signal's resolution and refresh rate. This is extremely useful for both professional and geek users. The reason I give 4 stars is because this monitor is slow. It has 4 inputs - 1x USB-C, 1x DP and 2x HDMI. Guess what? I use it with two devices and need to switch input between them. The automatic input detection function…

The BenQ 32" EW3270U is a 4K monitor with decent picture quality, perfect for home and office. The product arrived in perfect condition a day before the promised delivery date. However, the motion blur is limited to 60 Hz I have tried all kinds of games with nintendo switch but haven't tried ps5 yet friend tried his ps4 with this monitor and it worked wonderfully weight without stand is about 6kg and weight without stand is about 7.5kg The only real issue I would say is the fact that it's a…

Got this neat monitor mostly for coding/"business" not gaming/video. The previous monitor was the AOC curved monitor at 1920 x 1080. Overall: I like the BenQ EW3270U and I highly recommend it, especially if you are into software development. a noticeable improvement over 1920 x 1080. - Good color distribution, dark colors are particularly comfortable than the precious AOC 1920 x 1080 monitor - Less eye fatigue - Encoding is a pleasure Cons: - It took me a while to figure out what it was Mini…

I paid $299 for a BenQ EW3270ZL 2K 32-inch monitor in October 2018. I knew I wanted a 32 inch monitor and it was going to cost around $300. So after a few weeks of research I settled on the BenQ, mainly because of the price. It's a decent monitor, and at $299 it's cheaper than other monitors with the same specs. It had no dead pixels (which I could see), color saturation was good but a little faded in the corners, and while the speakers are cheap I was glad they were included. However, the…

The screen was initially disappointing as many pointed out with a white tint surrounding the screen, but I noticed that the tint disappeared as I flipped my switch, so I dug deeper and experimented a bit and found that HDR works on macOS is enabled by default for an external monitor and that HDR adds a white tint around the screen. Once it's off, the image quality gets better (there can still be a slight white cast, but it's much better) and really shows fantastic color depth. You can keep the…

For the price, this monitor is a pleasant surprise. Few other monitors in this group can boast the same color accuracy (there are plenty of Youtube reviews detailing accurate color measurements) or entry-level HDR10. You can't expect high levels of HDR at this price point, but the brightness remains an unexpected treat (300 nits versus 100 for regular monitors), making it a worthy contender in both gaming and design environments. HDR and 10-bit color require an initial setup, partly because…

The picture quality is excellent. The sound was a big disappointment. I've been trying to get the monitor speakers to work for a week. Turns out you can't get there. The speakers only work with a DisplayPort connection. Many PCs like mine don't have DisplayPort connectivity. And you can't just buy an extra circuit board with this connector because it doesn't exist. My PC has a 3.5 audio out jack, but my Benq monitor DOES NOT have a 3.5 audio in! The solution is to buy some decent extra PC…

This display is good enough for media consumption and the size is great for multitasking, but gaming is very limited on this display. Fast-paced games like first-person shooters are frustrating on this display due to the 60Hz refresh rate, meaning the highest FPS you can visually see on this display is only 60. Should care about the FPS, they are pretty good, even entertaining. .If you are looking for a cheap 4K pseudo big TV/multitasking screen/content creation tool then I would say the BenQ…

Excellent picture quality, has many features, if you go to Benq website check it out, but twice yesterday and at least 8 times today, so far only shows "black screen" for 3-5 seconds each, cuts/cuts . WTH is ready for it! I've had to return a lot of items here at Revain lately and I've started to experience 'complex' here lol. But it can come back for a replacement. Don't spend so much money on something so naughty on the first and second day. It's better to find these things now, not in 30…

I've wanted a 32 inch display for a long time but couldn't part with $$$$. This EW3270U was very affordable and I got everything except the IPS panel. But I really liked the VA panel. I connected my MacBook Air M1. with the included USB-C cable, and it's auto-detected and ready to use. Later you find adjustments for volume, brightness, contrast etc. Also a setting for a video mode called "MacBook" and it looks even better. VESA mount, the sound has a good volume but the quality is so-so. I'm…

This monitor is everything I was hoping for: easy to use and clear enough to read fine print. I use it as an external monitor on a Dell G5 laptop with an Nvidia 1060 chipset. The display is super sharp; I regularly use large Excel spreadsheets and can zoom up to 70% and still read cells (Calibri 11pt). I wear "computer" glasses set to 1 inch behind my fingertips with all blue blocking etc. The only complaint I have is that with HDR enabled (Windows 10 recognizes its HDR display) when the system

I've wanted a 4k monitor for a long time but was hesitant due to the need for a new computer with a good graphics card to support it and the problem of resizing all photos to 1/4 their screen size. It turned out to be the most significant update in my 18 years of working with computers. I set up the photo viewer to open at its original size, so photos that used to be limited by screen size can now finally be opened at full resolution. But the best part is the screen real estate. I used to have…

Great monitor with excellent clarity for a VA panel. I must have underestimated it. I was looking to upgrade my 1080p 32" VA panel and got more out of this monitor than I expected. Colors are deep, but I have to say that HDR can be a bit boring. Most experiences are better off without them because they don't get bright enough to be noticed. The HDR emulation feature offers better color depth than true HDR. Small glare but only noticeable on a blank dark screen. Works great on console too. The…

I bought it on sale for €349. If there was such a price I would give 5 stars. Its 60Hz refresh rate is great for multimedia content, performance and ideal for casual gaming, but those who enjoy competitive gaming might want something with a higher refresh rate. On the other hand, 32-inch 4K monitors with a 144Hz refresh rate are currently almost three times the price. Mine came with a USB-C cable and a mini DP to DP cable, neither of which work with my graphics card. When you buy a new cable…

Works great with my MBP x86 and M1. Comes with a durable TP3 cable that supports 4K@60hz4star because: 1. Inconvenient stand - had to buy a universal2. No USB hub3. Probably too much, but I would like at least 60 watts of power.
