To me and my kind:
I'm not very experienced or technically overly adept reviewer, nor do I have previously worked with a monitor from the higher price ranges. So I can only judge from an average user's perspective the product. I use the monitor principal for reading, surfing and sometimes to play and have connected him as external monitor via HDMI to my laptop.
Now for the device:
I bought this monitor after I had decided to send back the Acer S242HLCbid. When scrolling texts always attracted shadow of what it really bothered me. Perhaps the problem could be remedied with any setting, but I have nothing found Useful.
The BenQ does not have this problem. Even otherwise, the BenQ is doing well. Without that I had to change something about the image settings, the monitor image sharp and pleasing to my taste is. Reaction times or the like I have not measured, but it occurred to me until now also playing anything negative on. Pixel errors I have not discovered.
On-screen menu can be, at least compared to Acer, make many settings directly.
The case looks high quality finish. The height adjustment is very smooth, the screen is quite stable and even the menu buttons have no game.
As far as this monitor for its quite affordable price of about 170, in my view deserves 5 stars, were it not for yet a few things that bother me.
First I had to find out of the box, that the power cord is advised but quite short. Specifically, it has a length of about 1.3m. If an electrical outlet is not therefore just below the screen, then can already be a problem. Just as with me. For the power supply is nevertheless integrated in the monitor.
In addition, only a VGA cable is included. This is not a real problem, but if you already bought a FullHD screen, then you should not connect via VGA necessarily maybe.
That the screen many alignment opportunities is a fine thing and just for people who sit long before the display determines pleasant, but has the structure with the arm behind the monitor means that the display is removed from the wall with me at least 12cm. For people with no wall behind the screen, however, that should be irrelevant. Nevertheless, one would have the whole give an overall slimmer design, because it is precisely in the profile acts the whole bit clunky.
However, what has annoyed me most was that after connecting via HDMI initially no image could be seen. After briefly considering I then tried to connect the monitor via VGA and lo and behold - a picture. The solution to my problem: I had to select as inputs in the OSD HDMI. However, the menu is also only called if an image is available. So that the screen has no automatic input detection, or at least not work for me, I find it a little weak.
Even if my criticisms are rather minor, I give the product a total of 4 star. The perfect product, it is not enough, in my view, but it is worth buying anyway.
