Review on Enhanced BenQ EX3203R Monitor with FreeSync DisplayHDR - 31.5 Inch, 2560X1440P, Curved Design, HDMI Connectivity by Jesse Quigley

Gaming monitors have too many flaws right now to spend so much money on them. Just buy something for $300 and accept the flaws. The main disadvantage of this monitor is the light spots. They can hardly be seen in dim ambient light, especially in colorful games. For games/movies/screens where most of the screen is black, white dots appear on the screen. My lower right is particularly prominent. That's just unacceptable for a monitor this expensive. When the conditions are right (which is about 80% of the time), this monitor is great. But when it's not, it pisses me off to no end. Pros: - Great color - Very pitch black (3000:1 contrast ratio is much better than the 1000:1 TN panel I upgraded from) - Pixel density is decent. Just like a 24" 1080p monitor. I've heard that 27" 1440p looks sharper due to the higher pixel density, but 32" 1440p certainly looks good. FreeSync 2 (adaptive sync) works great with NVidia cards ( with RTX).2070).However, you need to edit the VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) with Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) or you may experience flickering (see this YouTube video on how to do it: https://youtu.be /EYcFKeiDzmM ). )-High refresh rate. Images look smooth at high refresh rates, see motion blur and ghosting in Cons: Backlight skipping is by far the biggest downside. VA panels are said to have almost no backlight. However, I think this one Monitor has characteristic backlight spots due to the curvature of the screen Spots are almost worse than uniform backlight blur because they are very annoying The contrast looks amazing in dark scenes EXCEPT for white spots in some places on the screen. My lower right corner especially you are bad. That's the main reason why I don't advise buying such an expensive monitor as panel technology hasn't solved the problem yet. HUGE SCAM. This can be improved by installing ambient lighting in the room. For example, if there is daylight in the room, you have to strain to notice that the backlight comes on. Even if the game is really colorful or something other than pure black (e.g. loading screens), it will be very difficult for you to notice. However, if you have a very dark game and your room is poorly lit, you will want to smash the screen. motion blur. Motion blur isn't bad, but it's definitely noticeable on a TN panel, even with overdrive. on the. Without backlight bleeding, this compromise would have been worth the increase in contrast, black and color compared to TN panel ghosting and anti-ghosting. Anti-ghosting (looks like black bars) with Overdrive (AMA) on max. It's not a deal breaker for me, but the trade-off between VA and TN contrast and colors is ghosting/anti-ghosting and motion blur. It's not a big deal to me, but it will give your monitor/games a very distinctive look that's hard to explain.
