Most importantly, this monitor has a beautiful picture and it is very easy on the eyes when using for long hours. My biggest concern about this monitor is it is a VA panel and not an IPS panel like the majority of monitors out there. VA panels have some trade-offs both positive and negative. One of the positives is it has great contrast ratio, and this monitor definitely has awesome contrast. The scary negative is that VA panels can have ghosting issues. This monitor has some ghosting when running at 60Hz. That said, if you buy this monitor I highly recommend you run it at 100Hz. It's a 100Hz panel so you should be running it at 100Hz anyway. As a regular user looking for ghosting, it appears to have virtually no ghosting at 100Hz.
As a gamer, I turn VSYNC off in games and use the RivaTuner app (suggested by a friend) to cap output frame rate to 96Hz. Then I use nVidia's new drivers that support Freesync for GTX 1080 and up, and have had great success with this. All of the games I like to play work without issue. Of course if you don't want to mess with Freesync, just leave your games frame rate uncapped and let 'er rip.
I paid full price for this monitor (around $750 USD at the time) and have no regrets. I give this monitor high marks all around. It's a beauty.
I also have a small NUC PC connected to the monitor that I use with the monitors built in PBP (picture by picture) feature, very handy.
I have run color and dead pixel tests recently, great color results and no dead pixels after 11 months.
Overall, for the $560 I paid, I still very pleased.
This monitor doesn't disappoint. I used my color calibration puck (Spyder 4 pro) and this monitor looks even better after calibration. at 100% sRGB, the colors are great and the deep contrast ratio helps this monitor look even better.
I have a 1080ti graphics card so I needed to make a custom resolution with a refresh rate of "98" to get rid of screen flicker. As long as you do this, enable gsync, and your game runs over 40fps you will not have screen flicker. However running Assassins creed Odyssey at ultra settings made the fps dip below 40 which resulted in screen flicker....Adjusting the graphics settings slightly improved performance which in turn eliminated screen flicker.
My second monitor is a Dell S2716DGR which is 1440p at 144hz TN panel. Playing the latest call of duty game on the BenQ, I can instantly tell a difference between these monitors for fast paced games. The BenQ feels slow and a bit blurry. Even with AMA on premium, there is ever so slight ghosting.. I only notice this in Call of Duty, so I will continue to play that on my Dell monitor. other single player games such as Odyssey are quite fantastic on this display.
HDR on the BenQ is nice even if it's not "True" HDR. It makes games look a bit more realistic and youtube HDR video's especially look amazing. I have yet to test a 4k HDR bluray.
I seem to have received a very good VA panel with no noticeable defects of any kind. I can somewhat see the dark side edges people are talking about, but I can't tell if I'm actually seeing it, or if I'm imagining it. Either way, it's not an issue for me.
In conclusion, if you are a competitive FPS gamer....This isn't the monitor for you...Sorry.. Everyone else will be extremely satisfied.

I’m using it primarily for gaming, and wow, Fortnite looks great on it. Fired up some movies too, and it fills the screen beautifully. I’m planning to use it for some other games and productivity too, but right now I’m just enjoying it.
It comes with a number of cables, but I did opt for a separate DP to USB-C cable. No problems recognizing it on both Mac and Windows at full resolution / 100hz. No dead pixels. There are a number of options for screen customization. I’m not crazy about the OSD menu navigation, but I don’t plan on using the menus much once I get it configured to my liking.
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. Thanks BenQ!
It very solid, sturdy and built well. Was easy to assemble and get up and running. Setting features are neat also.
One caveat, is make sure your laptop supports ultrawide resolution. My work laptop does not. But my Lenovo l340 i5-9th generatio with GTX 4MB and 16GB of ram is running top notch on this.
I was also lucky to get this on an installment plan so easy on my budget. I highly recommend to get this monitor for the price.

My summary:
- very good price for a 4K HDR monitor
- impressive connectivity with USB-C and A, HDMI and Display Port available. Also ships with cables so you don’t have to buy extra
- lightweight and easy to set up
- very good size of the screen
- curved design is really pleasing to the eye. Much better to work with compared to flat screen
- 3 year warranty included by default.
Do I recommend?
Absolutely, for both gaming and using as office PC/Mac monitor.
Gsync compatible works on this monitor on 100hz with a dp-dp cable 1.4. Tried some games and gsync works as it should be. I checked the gync range my self, it is around 40hz-100hz, which is not bad.
for my monitor, with g sync compatible off, there is frame skipping for 6 frames. So if i don't use gsync competible or freesync, I need to set a customize frame rate of 94hz. Then there is no more frame skipping.
The auto brightness sensor is great for working all night long, it will auto adjust the screen brightness means that you will have less eye strain.
The image is great, with no ghosting and great color accuracy.
Even though there is HDR, it is 'fake' hdr, it will enhance the picture color but loss some contrast of the picture.
Overall a great monitor, great for daily work and some non-competitive games.
HDR is nothing to write home about. That's a combo of HDR on Windows being basically useless, and this monitor lacking true HDR specs to begin with. Nice to have, though. Just don't expect to use it much.
On the down side:
The onscreen menu is atrocious. Oh my god. It's so bad I can't even believe it. Pray you don't have to spend much time in there. Woof.
Also, the placement of the ports on the back will ruin your day. You've been warned.
I'm very disappointed by the lack of vesa mounting support, especially because the stand that it comes with sucks. In the end, I ended up getting a different monitor. I got the Philips 346b1c, which had similar specs, but with additional features and a lesser price point.
Again, my product may have just been defective or damaged during transit, but after that, I didnt want to risk buying this monitor. ESPECIALLY because it comes pre-assembled in the box (which is great -not really) but it makes the box it ships in HUGE. If you dont have access to a card then good luck finding a way to bring this to the post office to do a return.
Pros:
-tbh I didnt experience any pros d/t the lack of time I had with the monitor and the amount of issues I had. Consider other reviews for pros. You may not have the same issues I had, so it would be good to consider the pros from others
Cons:
-came damaged
-washed out colours, poor colour accuracy
-no vesa mounting support
-the stand it comes with lacks adjustability
Consider: despite lack of vesa mounting, I found a product on amazon that is a universal monitor mount. It isn't ideal, as it clips to the front and back of your monitor and secures it that way, but if you need it and that is your only choice then maybe it will be useful to you.
The only complaint is VERSA mount bracket that not included and not available to buy due supplier issue.
The build in USB-C hub works without powering up.
Monitor auto power off to save power when I am away. Likes that
Hardware picture in picture to show other input port screen. The smaller screen rendering is poor but better than LG software control that depend on driver and mouse clicks.
Fine for casual gamer. My VGA can’t keep up with such high resolution when playing games that support ultra wide resolution. The extra wide does make games for my taster better to be able to see wider.
The curved screen works for me. No complaint.
It is not 10 bit colour but no software/movies/photos that use 10 bit yet. Only 1 sub-$1000 LG monitor that support it but sold out in Amazon
