Overview The BenQ 27” QHD Ultra Wide 1440p Monitor is a high-quality display designed for productivity, content creation, and media consumption. With a matte screen surface and QHD resolution, it delivers crisp visuals, accurate colors, and reduced glare. However, while it excels in video quality, it may not be the best choice for competitive gaming. Key Features 27-Inch QHD (2560x1440) Resolution – Provides sharp details and vibrant colors for work and entertainment. Matte Screen Surface – Reduces glare, making it ideal for bright environments. 16:9 Aspect Ratio – Perfect for multitasking, watching videos, and general computing. Multiple Connectivity Options – Features HDMI and DisplayPort for flexible connectivity, though it only includes an HDMI cable. If you prefer DisplayPort, you’ll need to purchase a separate cable. Performance Video Quality The QHD resolution and high-quality panel make this monitor an excellent choice for users who need sharp visuals and accurate colors. Whether you're watching 4K content, editing photos, or working with detailed spreadsheets, the display provides excellent clarity. Gaming Experience While the monitor delivers beautiful visuals, it is not the best choice for gaming, especially for fast-paced shooters or esports titles. If it has a standard 60Hz refresh rate and a slower response time, motion blur and ghosting may be noticeable in high-action games. If gaming is a priority, consider a model with at least a 120Hz refresh rate and a lower response time.

However, gamers looking for high refresh rates and ultra-smooth gameplay may need to look elsewhere. ✔ Best for: Office work, content creation, and media consumption ❌ Not ideal for: Competitive gaming or users needing a high refresh rate Would I recommend it?

Can’t believe it only lasted a month as a work monitor. The screen turned dark and flashed constantly. It has passed the return period. So disappointed with Benq product. Read more

This monitor offers incredible value for the price. It's truly impressive how well it adjusts to the surrounding lighting. This feature is particularly beneficial for home use, where we often have less control compared to an office setting, where desk lights are usually available. At home, you might find yourself sitting near a window, and as the clouds move, the brightness in the room can fluctuate. Even with ceiling lights, sunlight is generally much brighter, and this monitor excels in those conditions. I don't think the monitor simply adjusts brightness; I believe it also adjusts contrast and other settings in tandem as the screen dims or brightens. For instance, I usually have it set in standard mode, coding mode, or eye care mode. This way, I rarely need to manually adjust the settings. I have not felt the need to change the contrast or colors during usage. However, the speakers are very poor quality. They are virtually useless, and I wish the manufacturer had opted to exclude them altogether, as they are an environmental waste. Additionally, a more adjustable monitor stand would have been a welcome improvement. There is a Dell monitor that is quite similar with the same contrast ratio and superior speakers and stand. While the image clarity is comparable, it lacks the brightness sensor found in this monitor. If you prioritize eye care and the brightness sensor, I recommend this monitor. On the other hand, if sound clarity and a more robust stand are more important—or if you lack a monitor mount—then the Dell might be a better choice. I believe both monitors fall within a similar price range. I originally purchased this one for $200, but have since noticed it is now priced around $150. At the time, the Dell was priced at $150. It's also worth noting that they offer a programming series monitor with significantly better hardware. However, the color space on this monitor is quite basic, which I see as an advantage since much of the internet is designed around this color space. In contrast, the programming monitors support a wider color range, like DCI-P3. I initially tried a programming monitor and appreciated its features, but I don't believe it's worth five to six times the price of this monitor, which offers about 80 to 90 percent of the performance. I'm amazed by the advancements in monitor technology. I only wish they would produce a 32-inch model or at least explore other aspect ratios. A 16:10 ratio would have been ideal, but they currently only offer a 16:9 option. There is a programming monitor available in a 3:2 ratio, so I hope they eventually release a 3:2 monitor utilizing these technologies. Until the issues associated with OLED monitors, such as burn-in, are resolved, I see this monitor as a solid mid-range option. Mini LED technology provides excellent brightness, but lacks built-in eye care features. Overall, while this monitor is strong in most aspects, it could be greatly improved by removing the subpar speakers. If the cost of the speakers were allocated to a more adjustable stand, the monitor would be outstanding. Given the low price of $150, I don't think it's reasonable to expect features like a docking station or integrated power delivery. While I doubt they could incorporate a 65-watt or 90-watt USB-C power delivery system, a direct USB-C port would have been a nice addition. In conclusion, I highly recommend this monitor. It is fantastic and earns five stars from me, despite the minor quirks I mentioned. Read more

This is my first time writing a review in here, and this monitor truly deserves to stand out. I have used LG monitors before, the wide-curved 34" WQHD and the QHD 27" ones, they were great, up until i bought this Benq GW2790Q, it costs literally half the price of each LG or even lower that, and it performs better. My main uses are coding, reading and browsing, and this monitor works great for my needs. Don't skip it. Read more
