here's me thinking the colors look better than my monitor's colors while watching the video on my monitor
Maxi because these videos are edited with all video measures adjusted via professional video software’s. here is the thing. I have been using this panel for two weeks. Very happy purchase. Let me know what do you feel ?
Usually companies increase the vibrancy to fool uneducated consumers. If you look through HDRen’t monitor you cant see hdr colours. Yet lots of people get fooled by that.
100th like
Vijoy Vv are you still enjoying this monitor. I am looking at this model for my rtx 2070 rig...
The spec sheet says 400 nits brightness, is this an error? Did they update the screen?
To your headphone jack question, I use them to plug speakers into my monitors directly, so if I'm using a game console or anything plugged into the monitor, I get audio through my main speakers.
Same here. I plug in my Bose Bluetooth speaker
And it better then switch you Speakers a round to pc to ps4 to switch and Xbox so a you got to do switch display
This monitor is AMAZING. I might order another one only because I was lucky enough to buy the last one in stock.
I have this monitor and love it!
I had $50 speakers with a sub woofer and recently sold them because the built in speakers were so good and I needed the desk space. Would recommend.
in fps games when you turn right and left fast, do you get ghosting(and eye strain) from ghosting ?
@@omuleanu no it has no ghosting I think
@@ericgarcia3315 I already bought 1 year ago, it's great
The headphone jack on a monitor is likely used to connect speakers. Some motherboards like the ASRock Rack X570D4I-2T don't have an audio out jack, so sound is passed through via the DisplayPort or HDMI jack on your discrete GPU.
the audio jack allows you to have less cables from the computer unto the desk in case you have speakers, or if the computer is far away, or at floor level, you can just plug in your headphones to it. It actually makes a lot of sense.
I have bought this one in April and I’m really happy I have made that education. This is absolutely a gem, great all rounder
Great review! I use the headphone jack to plug into a head unit to stream music at work... Video editors probably use it for headphones when they are editing audio files... So nice to know it’s there.
TYVM! I have a BenQ 27 144Hz/1MS that I have been very pleased with for several years. But my gamer lean can make the TN a bit problematic; I think I will give up some response time for better viewing angles on my next monitor.
YAY! I have it! bought it last week and I LOVE IT! The speakers are fantastic!
exactly.
Fantastic monitor, watching this on it now
I bought this one as my main monitor for mostly AAA games/fighting games and the contrast and richness of the colors is just amazing. I also love to watch movies and videos from over the kitchen a few steps away and I can enjoy everything even looking from a sharp angle.
Its fast enough for non professional gaming, displays a beautiful image with rich colors and is bright enough for office work with different light sources around (I find it a lil too bright sometimes, which is amazing for an IPS panel, so I lower the brightness when browsing at night for example). Its just all in all an amazing monitor for everything imo. Dont see any significant drawbacks to be honest. Best monitor Ive had so far. Bought it for 350€. Feels like a rock solid quality purchase.
Would you recommend this monitor or do I look at viewsonic vx2776 4k mhd or LG monitors
I have had this monitor for a few months, and it is great. I really cannot fault it for the price. Also, the 5ms compared to 1ms response time is weird outside of competitive sports. It is more than good enough for the average gamer. I am glad you highlighted the speakers/soundbar. They blew me away for quality. I only use the monitor speakers now. The sounds is quite good and it frees up space on your desk. Win win!
@UFD Tech I use the headphone output of my monitor for my Creative Gigaworks t20 II. Why not my PC? Because I have all these different devices hooked up to the monitor like PC, Laptop Dock and Playstation. I'm looking at your review for my second 27 Inch monitor as well as my primary screen for PS5. Make sense?
Headphone jack is for speakers. Audio from ANY output
Would this be a good monitor for the PS5? I currently have a Benq RL2755 for my PS4.
I had a job meeting this morning and couldn't get manage to connect my headset to my computer. How can I connect my headset to my monitor? The microphone is not recognized at all, although I've tried all options in the sound settings.
How would you rate it over ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A 27”. I’m trying to decide between the two. Thanks
Great review! I really wish it could charge my work laptop through the usb-c. I have experience with the Dell P2720DC and that is an awesome monitor. But this BenQ seems to be a great unit for combined work and gaming use 🤔
The jack on the monitor is for external speakers
I've been using a acer 27" 144Hz G-SYNC XB270HU for many years now, but recently been thinking of going with a high refresh rate ultra-wide.
I recommend the msi mpg341cqr or the mpg341cqrv, the one that has V on it is similar in specifications, but it only supports 120hz refresh rate in contrary to the non V version which supports 144hz refresh rate!
i got an ultrawide. i love it for content and "productivity." just know that a good amount of games still either do not support ultrawides at all or fully. most newer aaa titles arent a problem. console ports usually are.
Great monitor, have you used an .icc profile with it?
samsung g7 240hz
I went from a 1080 165hz 0.5ms monitor to the ASUS VG35 which is 3440x1440 35" 100hz and I love it for multitasking, but honestly if you do any sort of FPS games online, its terrible. And also a lot of games don't support ultrawide, which makes it even less worthwhile.
Added to my amazon wishlist!
Good day! Thank you for the review. Would you still suggest this monitor in 2024?
Does the 5 ms response time a bad thing for this moniter was looking at the curved 27" benq 2710R va curved moniter but saw this one aswell
I have this and use it for coding and gaming. The auto-lighting and color adjustment (True Tone like) feature is a pleasure for late night coding. The built in speakers + woofer is great for gaming and watching movies. HDRi feature makes graphics vibrant but not oversaturated.
Got this monitor and i am pretty happy with it. But i dint wanna use the stand as it dint have height adjustment. So i bought a monitor arm to get the monitor right where i want it. Tried out the HDRi stuff and for me i dint like it, the colours became abit wierd. So i prefer the low blue light mode instead and my eyes like the benq low blue light. Just remember to get DP 1.4 cables for 144hz at 1440p res. The speakers are okey if you like just wanna hear sound from the monitor if you are tierd of having your headset on. Have not noticed any ghosting in most of the games i play.
As someone who likes high contrast displays, I'm planning to game on my OLED in the media room when I build my PC this fall with one of the new HDMI 2.1 graphics cards (most likely a 3070). If I do get a monitor for downstairs, I'll probably get a VA panel for the contrast.
Really good looking, but what about higher dimensions?
I got the same wallpaper, but in static. How did u get it animated?
After a long research I bought this monitor and I'm quite happy with it. Best all rounder for the best price.
But I would advise to check the corners for bleeding, I bought the first one and it was horribly bleeding at the left bottom corner. However, BenQ replaced it directly and now its great with unnoticeable bleeding, which is expected.
What is bleeding on a monitor? I’m new to monitors and I don’t really understand any of it
@@hunterdornan6086 Its regarding displaying black or dark colors, for LCD screens when displaying dark/black they apear to be gray or washed out because of the back light inside the screen bleeding to the front. You can try this by putting a completely black background and checking for areas in the screen that doesnt apear to be black.
IN DEFENSE OF 1/8" JACK ON MONITOR - I have studio monitors that go through an audio interface for my PC, but my consoles has to plug right into the monitor, so I use the 1/8" jack for that. Without it I'd have to use the speakers on the monitor and that would suck very hard
Is there any backlight bleed or ips glow issue in this one?
Cool review. In HDR mode it does go up to 400 nits (closer to 490 if I remember correctly), still not "true" HDR though, no local dimming for example
What’s the best gaming monitor period with everything just wondering
3 years later I still love this monitor really good for consoles gets you the 120 fps if the game supports it 120 hz 1440p gaming If you’d like, I still set mine to 1080p but good speakers
does it support nvidia g sync?
Bro where did you get that t-shirt? It's looking so cool!!
"Headphone" jack is meant to be plugged into your desktop speakers. Then when you switch between sources the audio from hdmi or display port get routed to they speakers automatically.
Finally someone said the facts about the HDR of this panel.
Maybe the headphone jack isnt just for headphones? I've got a cheap/small "soundbar" that could plug into the "headphone" jack on the monitor. So it could be used as a kind of passthrough
The LG GL850 contrast ratio is a bit lower than BenQ's EX2780Q panel. 800:1 vs 1000:1 for the BenQ. In testing I saw the ratio go as high as 1090 or so which for some people is a big difference. The LG has a slight upper hand on color range though (DCI-P3 of 98% vs BenQ's 95%. LG's brightness is only at 280cd/m2 vs BenQs 350. Both are good, but the LG has a small edge in color and response time, whereas BenQ has the sound quality, contrast, and brightness.
How is this compared to the LG 27GL850?
Definitely thinking about using this with the new Xbox x halo edition
I actually used to use the headphone hanger on my last monitor, but for my oculus rift.
I use headphone jack alot, it's a very handy feature! IMO, every monitor should have this.
i use the headphone jack on the monitor because the wire isnt long enough to reach my computer but it can reach my monitor it's like a usb passthrough but for audio its kinda useful.
I used to use the headphone jack on my monitor because I was using DVI so I had to plug the exit audio from my computer to the Monitor so the speakers could work.
is this better than the Samsung G5 would you say? I'm not sure which to get. The samsung has a curved screen though and I have no idea if I'd be into that. The BenQ is definitely the safer purchase.
How does the text look? :/ I have a monitor from 2009 and I really need to upgrade.
I have it, and it doesn't get signal in bios, only when windows login appears it gets signal, I have to switch monitors to access bios
I was seriously considering this monitor since LG monitors in canada are overpriced from sellers, I just cant get over the bronze coloring on it. Main reason I didnt get this was that the LG monitor I wanted that has the same specs as this BenQ had a price drop and I grabbed it. I'd rather the LG 4ms response time vs the 5-7ms response time of the Benq.
Which LG monitor did you pick up? 27GL850?
Headphone jack on the monitor would be a nice thing for me actually. Because of the Nintendo Switch. It doesn't like certain headphones and aux cables when it's in docked mode. The fan causes interference. So if I had a monitor with a headphone jack, I could use an aux cable to run that line-in to my PC so I only have to wear my headset and can chat to people that way while I game. Currently. I have to use my phone's earbuds and my headset at the same time to get this same experience. Not the most comfortable thing.
a great monitor i bought one last month
This is almost half the price of the LG 27GL850-B in Denmark, what's the catch?
This is perfect for someone like me who does a lot of content creation. kinda wanna jump to 1440p 144hz from 1080p 60hz.
hello is there a monitor better then this with better response times?
headphone jacks in monitors are a must for people who want to use external speakers on something like a console
Thank you.
Is the 5ms GTG time ok, or should I look for one with 1ms?
Not noticeable
Tvs are larger and larger, to the point my 50'' starts to feel small, yet monitors above 32'' are not very popular, am I missing something?
How do I get that wallpaper?
As a recent new BenQ user ( 3 x 27" 4k monitors ), I can say that BenQ DOES NOT stand behind their products. I suggest people look elsewhere.

7.7 Mixed Usage
7.6 Office

6.9 HDR Gaming
@@mgoldenboyz7942 its a ips screen :)
Mgoldenboyz that’s all you need for a monitor that has a refresh rate of 144hz. 1ms is all marketing bs anyways.
@@mgoldenboyz7942 you cant tell the difference between 1ms vs 5ms
how is the xv272u by acer in terms of response time, ghosting
They call it a headphone port, but it doesn't have to be only for headphones. I use the audio output port on my monitor to plug into my external speakers. This is beneficial because I have two different computers connected to the same monitor so audio from both can go to the speakers over one cable.
Headphone out and audio out are two different things. It's called a headphone port because that's what it is. You can use it for external speakers but the sound quality is trash because it's not a fixed line level and is totally the wrong impedance. You also risk burning out its amplifier.
does this come in 24 inch or lower?
This monitor is one of the best. Worth every penny spent.
Would this be suitable for the ps5???
is the difference between 1ms and 5ms a big deal? Will I even notice it?
If there is a version of this without the speakers 🔊 and at a lower price, that makes me happpy
I got this monitor and sold my speakers because the built in were so good and my desk space is limited
you can get the 4k version on ebay for $270
does it support hdr ?
wait , i use my headphones on my monitor? whats the problem with that? my pc is to far away and the cable doesnt reach
Yeah, cable management is an issue.
If you have a high end mobo.. you should plug your headphone on the motherboard itself
Would this be compatible with the PS5 features like Freesync on console ect without HDMI 2.1?
You can use free sync without hdmi 2.1 but you need a monitor with hdmi 2.1 for 4K 120hz and currently there are no monitors that have hdmi 2.1
@@erickabundis7952 games like cod and others ain’t running 4K 120 hz that’s ridiculous.
@@nobchopper9728 ik it won’t... barely any games will if any... I’m on pc tho so I’m chillin
I have this monitor, bought it a couple of months ago when it was on sale for $400. It's great for PC and One X, supports 1440p 120hz on the One X. It supports 4k input too so you can use it with a PS4 pro, it'll just scale the image to 1440p
Buddy. I am getting this one too for my PS4 standard. Do you change the resolution via the PS4 or by connecting to a PC? What is the best resolution to run on the standard according to you?
Will it be a good monitor for the PS5 as well?
3.5 in the monitor is usually used for speakers. :)
How does this compare to the iPhone X for watching high quality animated shows and movies on?like anime
recommended monitors for ps5/xbox x ????
Gimme a 24" 1440p 165Hz IPS 1ms... with a centered 3.5mm port below the chin, yes I used it for in-earphones while the one on the MTB is for the audiophile headset.
I use the headphone jack for my speaker set up its quite an interesting setup ngl
UFD Tech I have the same monitor and I am experiencing problems with it like when I connect my console on the monitor after every 30 seconds the monitor just goes black for 7 seconds an then it turns back on i just hate it when it happens do u have any ways that I can fix this thank you please reply back to me!!?
did you fix this problem ?
I had that same issue and resolved it by Switching my HDMI
I was gonna tell a time travel joke, but you guys didn’t like it
Had this 2 years and can't imagine upgrading for a long long time yet
shud i buy this
how is the support with nvidia cards, any g sync problems?
I got a 27GN850 a couple weeks ago. Pretty similar to this monitor so meh
i used to have my headphone connected to my monitor because i didnt want to have the cable connected to the pc and it was easier to just have it connected to the monitor
Yes... The bloopers are back.
Aight I’m finna cop this next week
Did you?
I just got one from Amazon for 300 used!
Nice monitor!
How many cm is the width and height?
Anyone knows where can I get a wallpaper like that?
Wallpaper Engine
Is this monitor good for rtx 3070?
Hey if I plug my Xbox series s to it will I get 1440p 120hz threw the HDMI I’m new to monitors
Yeah you should
I was watching among many monitors and this one seems like the LG one that i always liked for colours, but has 5ms at a better price, 100$ less, seems rly good, since HDR 10 and 400 are useless anyway that LG has.
hi what is the name of the lg model that you are talking about?
@@OryGma The one from video, but i took the 180hz one, was just a bit more expensive but i think more worth, nicer menu control, better response time.
it's for use external speakers with xbox for erxample
good brand for monitor.
headphone port for monitors is good if you're playing a console and want to use wired headphones.. Only use case I've ever used.
wtf are these bezels? 2:50
not bezels just Safezone downscaling, you can adjust this on ps4 settings
Nameless who?
Do you miss SA?
Can it do 4K?
What a BOLD statement
Actually tho, why does nobody plug their usb-headset into their monitor?
I'm gonna buy a 1440p monitor and I was planning to use the usb-port for my headset. Is there a reason I should not do that?
actually...I never thought of that
Is this a smart buy for a ps5 monitor?
