So after adjusting settings in windows I have to admit this monitor is absolutely beautiful! The auto dimming is "Dynamic Contrast" and I was able to turn it off in Windows Registry Editor. After that and pairing this with a 2080 TI..... WOW!
The monitor has been great and given me no problems whatsoever. Beautiful picture, IPS and compatible with Nvidia GSync (Even though its not certified) I can report it DOES work and works great. Right now as of June 2020 you wo t find a better monitor than this for the price. I highly recommend this monitor.
I love 4K monitors and that's all I've owned for the past few years. I actually switched from my AW3418DW (Tried 1440P ultrawide for a year) to this for the 4K and "HDR". I was super excited about getting this monitor. I set it up and was immediately super impressed with the picture quality. Set Windows 10 to HDR and set the monitor to HDR and fired up a video. Colors really POP, but I noticed the screen kept getting dimmer and brighter on its own. No settings in windows were on for adaptive lighting. So I went into the monitor settings and when HDR is on none of the settings can be adjusted, no brightness, no contrast or the adaptive lighting. Only sharpness can be adjusted. If HDR is turned off (Whats the point of getting a HDR monitor if its off) the colors are very off and looks horrible with the "Simulated HDR" that comes on. After hours of looking and reading the entire BENQ manual its doing this because of the Ambient Light Sensor built into the bottom of the monitor. There is no way to turn it off when in HDR Mode. This does this when gaming as well. So i fired up a few games (YES This monitor is GSYNC COMPATIBLE) AC Odyssey won't recognize this as a "True HDR* monitor but Forza 4 will. It looks absolutely beautiful when you 1st switch one of the 3 HDR modes on but after a few seconds that Ambient light sensor kicks in and messes with the brightness and makes the picture dark. It goes back and forth and its highly noticeable. I will call BENQ and see if there is a fix but I've spent hours messing with settings to no fix. Overall the picture is amazing, colors are bright, viewing angles are great and the build is superb. The color of the monitor is actually very pleasing too. The speakers actually sound quite nice as well. Overall its very nice, a bit expensive and I wish they made a cheaper version without speakers. I will wait to see what BENQ says but if it continues to get brighter and dimmer when watching YouTube or playing a game I will unfortunately have to return and find myself another 32" 4K IPS display.
-PROS
-Beautiful IPS Display.
-Has FreeSync and works with Nvidia GSync.
-Out of the box the colors are amazing.
-Has built-in speakers that actually sound quite good.
-Has support for 100x100 VESA Mount.
-Framless design and monitor outer color (Reddish Copper) is very appealing.
-Deep Black's
-HDR 400 with 3 HDR Modes.
-CONS
-Only 60hz (Dont bother me) and if your not playing competitive FPS shooters its not noticeable.
-Stand has no adjustments (But I have mine on a monitor arm)
- BENQs HDR modes aren't that great. (Display HDR is the best)
-Not curved
Thats pretty much it. I looked for about a week before deciding on a monitor. Ive had ma y 32" 4K monitors and this one is by gar my favorite. If you are even thinking about this monitor I highly suggest you get it. When i had questions about the dimming, I called BENQ and a live person answered the phone and helped me fix it. When asking about the warranty I was informed I could send it in to BENQ and they would send me a new replacement.
As mentioned below I had my monitor replaced by BenQ due to an HDR defect. They have some of the best customer service I have experienced in a long time. They helped me out very quickly and with no hassle at all. I've been using their new replacement monitor since my original review date and haven't had any issues. I cant confirm that the firmware was indeed updated and that this was the issue as the monitor does not list the firmware version anywhere for me to compare. The monitor does however work as desired and their 3 year warranty and amazing customer service has warranted me to change my review from 3 to 5 stars.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Read the reviews for this specific monitor, A significant number of people are having repetitive HDR issues.
I ordered the product because it had a great review rating, I didn’t even bother to look into them much but wish I would have now. overall my final view of this product is going to based on how BenQ deals with the situation and if the monitor i receive fixes my issues.
Had this monitor for 3 months before the issues started. During this time the monitor was pretty great, rich colors and great for gaming, very responsive. The colors were a little off especially with blacks which aren’t very deep. Other than that, the HDR and 4k were very nice, it was nothing much more or less than you’d expect for a $400 gaming monitor until I ran into this issue.
The issue came when I turned my monitor on one day and all of a sudden, all the colors that were in HDR mode were washed out and flat. After reading carefully on Amazon and in forums I noticed that a lot of people have this issue with this specific monitor. You don’t see it reflected as much in the reviews because all the BenQ product reviews are twitstered together. This means that the star rating and reviews you see for this product are not all actually for this product, its for all the twistered products together. I contacted Amazon about it and unfortunately as of late at least, their chat customer service is getting increasingly more difficult to deal with and far less helpful than they used to be, every person you talk to gives you different answers and reasons as to why they decided they cant help you. So I contacted BenQ instead and their customer service was pretty Amazing. They had a new monitor being shipped to me within minutes of me contacting them and the monitor has a 3 year warranty. Their service is very good, I was very surprised at how fast they were and how easy they were to work with. Andy L. in their service department was really great and his service changed my mind completely about wanting to keep this product or buy future BenQ products.
Ill update this post with any new information after I receive my monitor. BenQ told me that the HDR issue is most often caused by firmware which makes me feel a little better.

Reviewed in Mexico on December 20, 2020
Trataré de ser muy objetivo con el anáisis de este monitor Benq EL2870U, de acuerdo a mi experiencia, el monitor es muy bueno para jugar en consolas playstation 4 PRO o Xbox one X, ya que cuenta con resolución a 4k y HDR, la imágen se ve muy bien, se dice que si bien no incluye un HDR "real", la verdad es que sí notas la diferencia, hay que tomar en cuenta que este monitor tiene muy pocas opciones de configuración de imágen, sobre todo si juegas con las opciones de HDR activadas, en este modo, el monitor no permite cambiar ninguna configuración, es decir, solo podrás configurar la nitidez, pero nada mas, no es necesariamente malo, ya que prácticamente sólo conectas tu PS4 PRO y éste se encarga de ofrecer la mejor imágen automáticamente de acuerdo al juego, algo importante a considerar, es que el monitor sí tiene bocinas incluidas, pero mejor debieron quitarlas para bajar un poco más el costo, ya que la verdad prácticamente NO se escuchan nada bien, recomiendo unos audífonos o una barra de sonido, solo la conectas por medio de cable auxiliar y listo, te olvidas de problemas de audio.
El monitor es de 28", es LCD, panel TN (para mejor respuesta en los juegos), si tienes una consola Playstation 4 PRO o un Xbox one X, éste sería el monitor ideal, si no eres muy "delicado" o "exigente" con las opciones de personalización de imágen, es una excelente opción, un monitor que ofrece 4K y HDR a un precio más que excelente y con una relación precio-calidad más que aceptable, no te vas a arrepentir, claro, siempre y cuándo tengas en consideración lo que comentado anteriormente.
