Supongo que he tenido mala suerte con mi unidad, pero el RD240Q me dio problemas desde el primer día, con pérdidas puntuales de imagen y algún “crujido” eléctrico interno bastante extraño. Al cuarto día el monitor dejo de dar imagen. Lo he probado con ordenador portátil y sobremesa, con el cable USB-C suministrado por BenQ y con dos cables más de calidad, siempre con el mismo resultado. Procedo a devolverlo… Una pena, precio razonable y buenas características para ser un buen monitor de trabajo durante muchas horas sin cansar la vista. Read more

I'm a full time software developer. I was using a 25" 1440p Dell (nice, but discontinued) and needed to get a second monitor for another location. I initially picked 25" over 27" on purpose, having read Nick Janetakis's article on the ideal screen size for developers (long, but worth a read). I find text on a 24" to be just as legible as my 16:9 25", but appreciate the extra height of 16:10. I also prefer the colours and contrast on the BenQ, and its ability to adjust itself to the ambient lighting conditions is superb. So in all respects, I prefer this BenQ to my Dell. I'm still using the Dell, but on a different desk. No need to buy stuff we don't need, right? I was also 28" curious, and did try the 28" version. It's got a very nice image, but (as a tiling window manager user) I found that I was turning my head left and right a lot, and rarely looking at things in front of me. It's tall too, so a lot of stuff I'd need to read would be near desk level, which has a fairly negative impact on my posture. Conclusion: I'm far better off when my windows (which fill my screen) are on a display whose edges aren't so difficult for me to see. This is also why I prefer a single screen. I usually put code on one workspace, documentation on another, and switch between them with a keystroke more quickly than I could turn my head to look at another screen. Occasionally I need docs and code side by side, in which case I'll put a browser next to my editor. That works great too. Often I'm working on an app, and will put the app's UI next to the editor so I can see the impact of my changes in real time. Also great. And if I need to see two different files, they're visible side by side in a full screen editor. End result: I'm pretty confident I've got the best monitor on the market for tiling window manager users who don't want to be turning their head a lot, looking up/down too much, etc. Also, on looking up/down, beware a monitor that's so tall that you need to read things above eye level. It requires your eye to be wider open than normal, which increases the rate at which the lens dries out. Combined with our tendency not to blink when looking at a screen, this can increase your chances of getting dry eye disease. I'm now an eye drop user, and I think it's because I used to position a monitor a bit high. So that's another reason not to get a bigger one. Read more
