    Customers are mixed about the color of the monitor. Some mention that it's excellent, matched on multiple devices, and great for photo/video color correction. However, others say that it suffers from light leak and disturbs color accuracy. The monitor is also not HDR and does not provide 10bit color.

    Customers are mixed about the ease of setup. Some mention that it's easy to setup and plug into their laptop, while others say that it takes some learning to understand the setup of the controls, is not intuitive, cumbersome, and annoying to put together.

    Glorious for photo editing, but hardware calibration a bit buggy on Windows
    4 Stars
    Glorious for photo editing, but hardware calibration a bit buggy on Windows
    Perfect screen and great uniformity when tested with stand alone software. A perfect monitor for photography. All the advertised features check out so I won't go into those details. This is about the best you can get for photography without dropping $5,000+. That said, if Eizo had a 32" 4K CS range monitor at this time, I might have gone with that one instead. But this BenQ is still close to as good as it gets.One thing, the hardware calibration with BenQ's Palette Master Element software is pretty darn buggy on Windows but works well on Mac. I've been working around color calibration software buggyness on Windows for almost 20 years... It's a common problem, so I'm not sure this all BenQ's fault. All calibrators seem to have quirks on Windows. I can say the BenQ hardware calibration is a good and long one. Unfortunately it doesn't offer uniformity test though. I ran that first with X-Rite software before I dove into the full setup.Part of my problem was Windows installed a 2017 BenQ monitor driver first even though I had installed the download driver for this monitor before plugging it in. It fixed after some reboots while I was mucking with settings. Come to think of it, I think it fixed itself when I changed to the BenQ USB 3.0 A/B cable.Oddly if I set "Output dynamic range" to "Full" in Nvidia control panel, the hardware calibration fails. If I set it to "Limited" the calibration looks fantastic and at least reports crazy low deltas (0.3 avg, 0.67 max). I'm not sure why I can't use "Full" range nVidia settings with this monitor. My other monitor connected to the same Windows machine (ViewSonic VP3881 sRGB+) does its hardware calibration just fine at 10-bit with output range set to "Full". This impacts the darkest/lowest range, allows more near-black detail when set to full theoretically. I believe I can see more gradation steps at the low end on the cheaper ViewSonic monitor but I'm not certain of this. It's not a big deal, but the OCD in me will try again some day. It's possible this doesn't matter depending on how the BenQ is doing things with hardware and software I suppose. The Calibration could be failing because some conflict happening. There is definitely a wider color gamut on the BenQ than the sRGB+ Viewsonic, not yet sure about bid depth though. Pretty happy though.I've been doing a lot of printing with this monitor so far. I would say while a large gamut monitor isn't required for printing anymore since some of the sRGB+ monitors are so good, it does still help. And it is amazing to look at images from a quality modern camera in the gamut that this BenQ covers. Photo editing in wide gamut is more enjoyable than it ever has been thanks to improved monitors, 4K workspace, and the improved depth and quality of RAW images. Big step up from 10 years ago.I did some Photoshop black to white gradation tests and confirmed we are in 10-bit/30-bit (3 channels). It doesn't have the banding on either monitor that you see in 8-bit mode. I'm just not sure I have the full bit range yet at the low end on the BenQ. I suppose I can test this by skipping hardware calibration next time and see what runing a software calibration using X-Rite's software that came with my i1Display Pro Plus produces. (Please add a comment if you know what's going on here with "Full" range causing hw calibration fails.)The hood comes in about 9 pieces and is a bit annoying to put together and take apart again for storage. Everything needs to slide and snap together. A bit cumbersome. It does the job but a hinge based solution would be better IMO. I'm not one who uses a hood all the time since my room lighting doesn't force me to, but I like hoods during calibration.
