Had it about a week. I often move monitors around between computers, and wanted something light, affordable, and easy to switch around. It’s certainly light, and the two switchable HDMI inputs are very convenient. I particularly like the 4 mechanical buttons, far superior to the “touch-sensitive” controls on more expensive monitors I own. The image (I’m usually looking at pdf, or an editor screen) seems bright and crisp, without changing the default settings. Got it for £84.99 — astonishingly good value. Arrived promptly, in well-designed packaging.EDIT: actually, it has 5 buttons, besides the power button. Sorry about that. It is reasonably intuitive what they do if you fiddle around. The only thing you might need to do is select the input you are using. There is a manual online if you need it.. Search for GL2580H, as the variants of the monitor seem to be (currently) gathered under the name of the de-luxe version.

Purchased this product to work from home during Covid 19 largely on the back of other reviewers’ recommendations especially the review from Amazonian-001. Main features I like about this 22” monitor include how incredibly easy it was to set up, users don’t even need a screw driver to sort out the stand.The Eye-Care technology with Low Blue Light technology and flicker-free performance for extended viewing comfort was the other main draw for me given the amount of time I typically spend in front of the screen. Didn’t really need to play about with the settings at all, picture is crystal clear but may try out a recommendation on settings provided by one other reviewer. Really like the proportions of the screen and stand – make it an ideal choice for those with limited office space.My only minor quibble would be this product doesn’t come with an HDMI lead and for that alone I’d rate this product 4.5 stars. 🙂

This is my second Benz monitor, so I can vouch for their quality over time. I use my monitor for general stuff like Word, browsing etc. (having recently moved from using a Surface tablet) but I wanted a second monitor for use with my music software Reason 10 (which is fantastic by the way). Reason allows to use multiscreen, which is great as you can split the program into sequencer, rack and mixer and each will have more space.My other Benq is 21″ so I decided to up the ante and go for 27″, and I’m really glad I did. The 21″ is only on for rack or mixer duties when using Reason and this model I now use for everyday tasks. The extra size is really useful in ways I hadn’t considered, for example having a whole A4 page open in Word or PowerPoint – so less scrolling, and it’s great being able to see the whole design of a slide without having to reduce the size. So a bonus there for me.This monitor is very clear, and the Eye Care allows me to use them for extended periods with no eye strain or head aches (unlike my work monitors). The picture is detailed and the colours natural. It’s different from my Surface or Samsung S7 AMOLED screens, they are arguably more detailed but also more harsh if that’s the right word. Some of my deck top wallpapers look 3D. Very impressive. I don’t play games, so I can’t comment of screen refresh rates etc. I have noticed a big difference when working at night, as this screen is much easier on the eye than the above mentioned. Also, this monitor is near a window with lots of sunshine, (not directly on the screen), but I have no issues at all with reflections, and the screen always seems even in terms of details and brightness.I use this monitor via HDMI, and the other on DVI due to the configuration of my HD7000 graphics card, and I can’t tell any difference, just in case you have to use one or the other. You do need to use the manual buttons under the screen to pick the input first time (it’s not auto), but after that it recognises the monitor every time.Having a bigger screen, with this level of clarity, at this price has been a revelation for me. It has helped with my workflow, and makes time at the PC a pleasure. If you want a quality 27″ monitor at a great price (and looking through ratings before buying this I noticed Benq would reply to all complaints in good time), you will definitely be more than happy with this model. Highly Recommended.

I’m very pleased with this monitor. Good quality, just about enough inputs (another HDMI would be good), and relatively easy to set up and adjust etc. It has very plain looks which I think is great – I don’t want a monitor to draw attention to itself.Just bear in mind if the resolution is right for you. I’ve been using a 1080×1920 on a 24 inch and that gives a good amount of space and pixel density. Bear in mind this, larger monitor, is also 1080×1920, so the same pixels displayed in a larger area. Thus you don’t not see any more on this 27 inch than you do on a 24 inch. Images, text etc are all larger. This is fine for my as I use if for work and have failing eye sight as a get older but a mate told me to go for 1440px on 27 inch for gaming, and I can see why. I don’t game so don’t care.All in all very pleased.

Pleased with this monitor. It’s my fourth BenQ monitor (2 x 24″ and 2 x 22″); Good image, no dead pixels, slim bezels, good colour (once adjusted via rather fiddly OSD controls).Using it with a Raspberry Pi 4B (8Gb) over HDMI. Images are more that satisfactory for my needs.There are built in speakers – never heard a decent built-in pair you’d actually use and these are no exception.Nice sharp screen, using it with a VESA mount and I have no need of the VGA cable included. No HDMI cables cable provided which is Ok as the Pi 4 neeeds a micro HDMI.BenQ is my go-to now for a reasonably priced monitor with very good quality. I have never needed to return one of their monitors for quality reasons.

Upon unboxing, the screen looked very washed out, similar to changing the white balance on a camera to +5. After playing around with the settings, the monitor is perfect for the price!So that the picture settings aren’t greyed out, go to: Picture Advanced > Picture Mode > UserThe following settings I have used are:Picture Advanced > HDMI RGB PC Range > RGB 16~235Picture > Gamma > 5

I bought this monitor for gaming and it doesn’t disappoint! I’ve used it for 2 weeks now and it’s proved to be good!So far i’ve had no troubles at all with the monitor and the best thing about it is the customisability, like whether you want the brightness to be super low, colours to be pitched more to cold settings or a warm setting, or maybe you want to read and e-book for an hour or so! Well this monitor would just be perfect for thatI’ve used the monitor for gaming primarily and it’s been no short of being useful and reliable. Colours are (as i said before) customisable so if something is off you can just change it easily with the built in menu.Only complaint id have is when i’m on Windows and i try to change the refresh rate it’s 60hz, don’t get me wrong that’s just perfect and what you need for gaming but not as displayed to be 75hz which isn’t that big of a deal but if anyone needs to know then here is that information.Images overall look crisp and the affordable value only helps the selling point!

This is my first review. I need to praise BenQ. This monitor is absolutely fantastic and at such a great price on top!I have had experience working with a wide-range through university in labs and art rooms. This monitor is punching well above its weight according to the price. The colours out of the box are OK, a little warm but once you go through the calibration (simply hit windows, type calibrate) and sort out the hue it is beautiful! Don’t get me wrong it is not quite on the same level as an acer predator that boasts colours as nice as this and runs at 140Hz on top but keeping in mind the price this is really hard to beat.I bought a dell p2414H at the same time, which costs £145. This display easily blows that out of the water. The Dell does come with a better stand and a USB hub but the colours of the Dell monitor were nowhere near as nice as this out of the box. And there is a version of this monitor that comes with a more ergonomic stand however I always recommend just buying a cheap £20 monitor arm, they’re about the same cost increase and often offer much better range of motion.This monitor is amazing value for money and its gaming mode and ability to increase its refresh rate makes it versatile. I game on it too and it doesn’t skip a beat and the entire process of using this is a dream.Happily recommend this purchase, you won’t be disappointed.

I don’t tend to leave reviews that often but I’ve been pretty pleased with this monitor so far.I now work from home permanently and I have a Dell S2716DG & ASUS VG278QR already but really felt like I needed a 3rd monitor to help with productivity and ideally wanted something to match in looks and size.I wasn’t expecting much with this BenQ in comparison to my other two monitors as they’re more than double the price (yea they’re primarily gaming monitors and TN) but the BenQ is a huge surprise, I have it mounted on a desk arm next to my others and it’s really nice quality panel and aside from gaming makes my other two look a bit of a rip off.Positives;- Nice light panel- Good menu, easy to navigate unlike some- Thin bezels- Deep blacks and vivid colours- The Price!!!Negatives;- The monitor stand it comes with is very poor (buy a desk arm mount)- Random gloss bit that sticks down at bottom of screen, as far as I can tell it has no function.

This isn’t a gaming review, I didn’t buy this BenQ GW2406Z display for gaming. I did however buy this display to form part of my gaming setup, to replace a recent Dell Ultrasharp that I had returned due to a failing PSU. The BenQ’s primary function is to monitor my stream’s activity and since owning, it’s been working perfectly fine for me…Excellent bezel free designHas your basic 100x100mm VESA mounts.No on-board speakersExternal power brick.Mine didn’t have any dead or stuck pixels but your millage may vary. Colours out of the box need calibrating, doesn’t take long, buttons are under the front right of the display, not best location or design. Still for this sort of money can you really be picky?
