Picked this up on a deal here because it checked most of my check list (Not much)
- Did at least 120hz
- 1080p+
- BUILT-IN SPEAKERS.
I love this screen, I was always told BenQ were supposed to be good products, and if this is where my expectations are set, I can only imagine how good of an experience a screen that's 2x the price is from them (Consoomer mindset)
Picture quality is crisp and sharp @ 1440p. If you prefer or need to step down to 1080p, it does appear to not be very optimized for it, which I guess makes sense.
Blacks look pretty good in most instances, when watching a Discord stream of a friend playing a dark scene in a game, the display seemed to struggle. But I don't fully consider that a fair test, First hand it will likely be dark enough and not too washed out.
The screen wakes up fairly fast I'd say. My old monitor was an Asus VN247 which probably took 2-5 seconds longer to wake up than this (If you care about that)
If you've looked up reviews for this on YouTube, I found a lot of them say "iTs NoT bRiGhT eNoUgH", yeah maybe if you're playing directly under the sun or something. It's plenty bright to me, I turned it down to 70%
The HDRi button may be of use to some people, but I don't really feel much of a need to use it personally. Most cases it will make it very dark and hard to see, but in well lit environments, it can flex it's muscles a little bit if you're into it.
The speakers are a godsend, my old screen had speakers as well, but were rear facing and hollow sounding. I got by like that for ~10 years. These are so much better. So much.. The 2 front facing speakers have good range and sound production for my environment and the subwoofer on the back adds a lot of depth to the sound. I use the "Pop/Live" setting and find it covers every listening situation for me.
For what I paid here for it, I have no regrets. Im hoping this will cover me as long as my ol' Asus did.
