Pros: This monitor was a replacement for an Acer ED347CKR that I returned after only 3 days for multiple build quality and functional defects. I mention this to point out that I'm a serious and demanding user for the tech I own. This monitor was noticeably different as soon as it arrived. Although in the same size class as the Acer, the packaging was much more robust and carefully thought out. BENQ was clearly serious about their devices arriving at their customers in top condition. I ran a couple of different checks for dead or stuck pixels, and found none at all. The QHD image is beautiful to behold, and the build quality far surpasses the Acer. The 100 Hz refresh rate is nice for high end flight sims. The speakers sound adequate, but I use external speakers with a subwoofer, so would never buy a monitor based on how it sounds. I wasn't sure about getting a curved screen at my desk, but I adapted quickly. The curvature is just right for the distance from my eyes, reducing the need to refocus over such a large landscape. The stand has a smaller footprint on my desk than my past two flat panel monitors, and that's welcome.
Cons: My only dig, and if I had a choice I wouldn't have knocked it a full egg in the review: The monitor is controlled using 7, count 'em 7, buttons located in a row along the bottom of the bezel, where they aren't visible. Tiny markings are molded into the front of the bezel, showing the locations and identifying the power and menu buttons, but under most lighting conditions in my office, they aren't even visible. The power button is subtly lit. It isn't visible from any natural viewing angle, but when the user passes a hand across the underside of the monitor, the light illuminates the fingers. Aha! There it is. The other buttons are for navigation of the menu. I would have preferred a joystick. Because I won't adjust any settings often, this layout won't detract from its functionality or my enjoyment, but I mention it for others considering this choice.
Overall Review: I love the quality of the image and the ability to have 3 pages of documents displayed side by side. It has simplified my document comparison and editing already, so there's no going back for me... I'm hooked on the size and ultrawide format, and am won over by BENQ's quality and performance. After a couple of weeks on the job, this looks like a great addition to my workstation.
Pros: The monitor is very stable on the stand, no need to hang to the wall. I like the color contrast and the low blue light is easier to my eyes.
Cons: The only downside I had for this monitor is the inability to charge my MacBook when I use it as an external monitor. I attach the monitor and my laptop to a usb-c connection and I still need to plug my laptop to a charger so it doesn't runout of battery.
Overall Review: Although the issue with the inability of connecting the monitor and laptop and simultaneously charging my laptop at the same time is not dealbreaker. Overall, I love this BENQ monitor, movies that are extremely pixelated are clear, just an overall good monitor. Also, connecting the monitor to a PS4 and Switch doesn't show any lag at all and shows crisp graphics.
Pros: Panel looks great premium look I like how it doesnt have rgb on the back of the monitor. I dont even know why thats a thing in 2020. I never see the back of my monitor.
Overall Review: I recently purchased a different brand ultrawide monitor and was totally let down by it. If youre thinking about pulling the trigger on this just do it and thank me later. Its the perfect size and resolution for gaming or productivity. It doesn have that "gamer" aesthetic which is a huge plus IMO. Im totally happy with it!
Pros: Beautiful screen 100mhz Freesync
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: I had a BenQ Bl3200 2560x1440 but wanted a freesync monitor a bit bigger. This monitor hit the mark for me. I'm running a Radeon VII gpu with a 3900x cpu and this monitor is a worthy match. Great for gaming!
Pros: It arrived on time in perfect condition. Looks great with good colours and quick response time. Stand has an opening that allows for cables to be passed through into the monitor.
Overall Review: I have had BenQ monitors in the past have always been happy with them. Good, consistent quality.
Pros: - Beautiful display packed with features for a price that the other guys offer their entry level 21:9 monitors - 100 Mhz - Good stand with good adjustment (big part for me as I like to change up my seating) plus can be wall mounted if desired.
Cons: None that I can see! I will do other customers the favor and update this if anything comes up!
Overall Review: I would absolutely recommend this!
Pros: Image and gaming quality beyond stellar. HDR mode while gaming is gorgeous, Destiny 2 for example. To use this monitor properly you will need a Vega 56/64 graphics card in order to use all of its features, (Freesync) otherwise in my opinion your wasting money. Curvature of the screen is perfect for an immersful experience in anything. I'm mainly a gamer and the ultra wide aspect is now prolly the only thing I'll play in from here on out. Out of the box colors seem spot on so far, I'm sure I'll play with the settings more, but coming from an Asus ROG 1440p 27in 144hz monitor it's as good and better
Cons: Button navigation isn't the greatest but that doesn't matter to me Tweaking settings will need getting used to
Overall Review: Perfect for a high-end gamer or production content creator

Pros: I watched every review I could find and everyone said this monitor was great... they weren't lying. Very happy with the price, quality, features, you name it. Works great with my 2020 MBP 16" and PS4 connected at same time. Easy to swap back and forth.
Cons: As the only thing that people have been able to knock this monitor for, is the horrible port placement. I FULLY agree with everyone; the ports are horrible to get to. Not like inconvenient but downright nasty like take your whole setup apart to swap a USB cable type bad. Works great on Mac laptops, but will not charge the 16" MBP.
Overall Review: Not charging my MBP 16" is a PITA but not a deal breaker by any means. Feel like I got every penny of my money worth. Great buy on a great monitor and I'm very happy.
