hello, I am using this monitor with Mac mini 2018. can you tell me which color profile in display preferences gives better color when using HDR. As the default one Benq3270u can't handle it. so far I use Display P3 and it does the job.
Awesome review! Also I have an old macbook pro, late 2013 model, it comes with 2 ancient thunderbolt 2 ports and 2 hdmi ports, I'm in need of a monitor and i was thinking of picking up this BENQ monitor, do you think it i can use this monitor with my macbook pro using HDMI? I'll be upgrading to MacMini in a few months
Hey there. Great vid and review! I’ve had this monitor for over 1 1/2 years and can confirm it is capable of 1080p 120Hz via HDMI. For XBOX, you must switch the Video Settings to Manual HDMI. For PS5, you must use an EDID Converter. The resolution trade-off is not worth it for me, but it is fun to know this awesome monitor can do so much more.
Hi - When using the EW3280U 4K Entertainment Monitor with HDRi Technology | BenQ with my MacBook Pro 2018. I have my monitor connected via USB C. When I go into the monitor menu some features are greyed out: Brightness, Colour Mode and Colour Temperature. When I connect the monitor to my Windows 10 Desktop I see those features. I thought this monitor was fully supported by Mac? I am running macOS Catalina v10.15.7. How can I resolve this?
thanks for the review , I watched your earlier review of the BENQ Mobiuz 27 and Im now trying to make my mind up between that one and this , purely for PS5 gaming ... which would you choose and why ? Would something like COD cold war be playable on the EW3280U ? many thanks
If you want primarily for gaming depends on what you prefer … high frame rate or high fidelity. If COD aid your primary thing probably the möbiuz with the 1080p 120 htz screen. But personally I would take the 32” screen any day
Thank you so much for this awesome review. I have been looking around for a review for this particular monitor and you are the only one has pretty much answered each and every question I had in mind. Keep making awesome video!!!!!
What an amazing review 👍. In the meantime, I'm planning to run at least 4 windows on this monitor for some programming stuff but I'm not sure if the sizes are too small if I place the distance 2 ft away from my vision. Can you suggest some solutions? Looking forward to your amazing reply, thank you in advance ✌️.
4 windows should not be an issue. You get plenty of horizontal space but might feel a little cramped vertically for coding. You can think of it as 4 MacBook 13” screen.
That's a very good question .. I'm struggling in deciding which one to go for the older 32ew70 VA panel or the newer 32ew80 panel which is IPS . Usage would be mainly for PS4/5
@@luzifero va would produce deeper blacks and ips has better viewing angles and more colors,also backlight bleeding is common in ips.But if u r looking for hdr this will be too a hit or miss.Its brightness is 350 nits and peak brightness is 400.At such brightness hdr couldnt be properly implemented.Minimum should be a vesa 600 hdr certified panel and ideal would be a vesa 1000 or above hdr certified panel or mini led panel with full array local dimming(the more the no of dimming zones the better)

Yup … should work great with hdmi
@@varerkars Cool. thanks
Great review. One small thing - HDRi doesn't convert SD content to HD content, but SDR content to HDR content at the viewing layer.
Oops my bad … that’s what I meant

Thank you for the review. Very helpful. I think I well save up for this monitor 👍

I have the Benq 32ew70u would it make a difference to upgrade to this version? The HDR on the 32ew is a hit n miss.
from seeing the specs, they look like pretty similar monitors. don't think it's worth the upgrade if you already have a 32 incher.

@@varerkars there should be some differences as one is a VA panel and the newer one is an IPS panel

you can look at the Asus pro art displays or asus rog gaming monitors with vesa 1000 or above certifications
