[Product sent for review by BenQ]
This BenQ gaming monitor features up to 144hz high refresh rate, 2560x1440 high resolution, 2.1 speaker system, USB C connectivity, FreeSync support, AND glorious HDR - well, sorta. It's only 350 or 400 nits peak brightness, which isn't all that great for HDR. But it still looks nice and the Game and Cinema "HDRi" modes help give a competitive edge while gaming in HDR.
The remote is a really nice touch, too.
Too bad my monitor has a dead pixel!

Hey all! Happy New Year! I did want to mention that I actually just posted a gaming video today as well, so don't miss that!! ua-cam.com/video/mrdJMehamlU/v-deo.html
merry christmas year new
"gaming AND movie watching" Finally someone that understands what i want!
Whats your favorite racing games? I need recommendations
What about cable TV as well
Same
@@latuba2478 if you still want racing games. Get Beam NG Drive and the crew 2
Happy New Year
Currently I'm testing out using a 55" LG OLED panel to replace my dual color grading and gaming monitor setup.
This is a straight up impractical setup for most, but it has honestly filled a lot of my requirements for an all-in-one work and play display. 4k, HDR, color accurate enough for critical work in multiple color spaces, ultra fast pixel response times, low input lag, 120hz, and GSync compatible.
I've tried so many displays and I always have an issue with color accuracy, uniformity, input lag, etc... It's especially hard to find a display that can do everything. And honestly
funny engou i just made a similar responce. i totaly agree. join the master race TV as monitor user, but its a high price TV 1500$ as u need the 55" models to show 120hz in 4k support the 49" only have 60hz 4k support.
@@henrikandersen4777 yeah it's definitely an expensive replacement to your average monitor. I will say that, at least for me, it was an absolute steal as all the monitors that competed with it were $2000 or above.
55" for a PC monitor - yeah that's never happening for me lol
Great video like always! :)
Got this monitor on Cyber Monday for $300 and have been very impressed this far
I just bought my wife a new BenQ monitor because it was one of the cheapest options on Amazon and I was pretty impressed with their quality, the Eye Care features, and the built-in speakers are decent also. After watching this review and confirming that I wasn't just lucky, I've added them to my list of monitor brands I'd recommend.
:D
5:04 I think he means 1000nit not 100nit.
What monitor arms do you use? I suffer from monitor drop with 3 different monitors arms purchased. I have 1 x 27 in acer and 2 x LG wide monitors.
Like the vid.... Cheers
bought one and really like it
How would you compare this monitor to a 24" monitor when watching a 1080p movie? Thanks
Hey Epos! I know that it might not be the best place to ask this, but I would appreciate it if you could give me an advice with this. Basically, I have a 3900X coupled with a 5700XT and 32GB Ram@3600Mhz. I want to start streaming and I don't know which one is better: encoding with my cpu in x264 or encoding with my GPU. I know that you've covered this topic on AMF a few months ago but I don't know if things have changed since then etc. I am running the latest driver for my gpu (19.12.3). My upload speed is also not a problem, as I have around 400Mbits upload speed. Thanks in advance and Happy New Year!
All these new monitors are looking so good and so much cheaper then they was 2 years ago..
There's still some way to go for gaming screen quality and sizes at reasonable prices but screens are getting better all the time.
As long as it has a decent wide color gamut I can live without the 1000+ nit luminance. I still use a good CRT for a lot of things and the honest truth is monitors that bright hurt my eyes. I'm happy with 150-350 nits, it's the 10 bit color that interests me more. Not for gaming but for movies. If only these IPS panels had really black blacks like an Oled with the 400 nit limited brightness, that would be something I would really be interested in.
6:17 - it sounds like Iron Man's Jarvis took a shot in reading this commentary for a moment ^_^
Ive been going crazy trying to find a good monitor for color accuracy, good contrast, picture quality. Like i keep switching from monitor to monitor. Never knew the hardest part of my build would be to find a monitor that does it all (which doesn’t seem to be any). Like i just want a monitor that is great for gaming and movies and idek what to go for its kinda driving me cray cray. This monitor looks promising but ive heard the lg gl850-b is a better choice but its contrast sucks, and i heard this one is better but, i dont know what to go for....
Oh cool, I have the same monitor arms.
@EposVox Hello! 1080p movies on 1440p monitor not blurry ?
I took a quick look at your videos but couldn't find a recommendation for a 1080p 24" 144hz or so monitor? Do you have a recommendation that matches this one similarly in terms of what it offers, or a video you could direct me to?
Lg 24gl650
@EposVox 5:20 please tell me which video player you used on windows to play HDR content.. I have bluray discs and files that are h265, hdr and so on but theyre all washed out.. I have a hdr 600 monitor.. Do you leave windows HDR on or off?
Thanks for the video !
You have to turn hdr on, of course. Then both the built in Movies & TV app for Win10 and MPC-HC work. I believe Potplayer will too
BenQ needs a $150 25" 21:9 75hz cheap but good entry level monitor for casual gamers and a 100hz or 120hz $300 to $400 34" 21:9 for movies ,games and work. because the new Xiaomi’s 34-inch curved Mi Surface Display is $300.
How do 1080p movies look on 1440p monitors?
Is this better than the display on an iPhone X for watching anime?
Yea, with monitors I have never ever gotten a dead pixel out the box or ever for that matter. My first hdtv was a emerson, from walmart, got a dead pixel out the box, brought it back. The next two boxes they gave me had dead pixels. Brought it back and got a sony bravia.
For $430 for them to have dead pixels out the box, maybe it was messed up in shipping, but that is not acceptable. Like you said, that type of stuff drives me up the wall. Can’t do it. I’d have to return it and ask for another, even if they sent it to me for review purposes. For that alone I’d have told them to ship another for my video and if they refused, i’d have moved forward with the video and given it a poor review.
I got the msi g27c4 and I have no dead pixels and it was $89 at walmart. It may not have HDR, or the movie/game stuff, but it doesn’t drive me up the wall. For editing with vegas, photoshop and streaming with obs it works just fine. I do however need to find another 27” curved monitor to match it.
My eyes spied Gateway tower i ahd one in 99 old prebuilt graduation present good ol Intel pentium 2 or 3 , 1 ghz...6 gb of ram n 3dfx
voodoo2 was beast back then :P
Can recommend the current best??? For gaming & especially movies for 2024??
Way outside my budget and probably would prefer getting a 1080p 240hz at that price. Unsure if the extra quality helps more than the extra frame rates.
Hey i got this monitor too! Could someone explain the 24hz and 144hz section again? Do i have to change the hz when I watch movies vs when i game??
As long as you're on 120 or 144 no
The idea is that 144 and 120 are multiples of 24 so when you watch 24fps content it should display the content at the proper 24 without jutter that you might experience at 60 because 60 isn't a proper multiple and might have issues delivering frames as a result. You shouldn't have to bother changing hz.
How are your playing Gran turismo on PC???
Is there 60hz version?
Will 4k or 1080p movies look blurry on a 1440p monitor?
Not really
Also is that a Fujifilm XT3?
🔥
I think TV's will be the bang for gaming/movies buck, at larger sizes, as they increasingly pay attention to gaming with the advent of the new consoles.
I've just switched from a monitor to a £300 43 inch 4k TV, and gaming is great on it (I don't play competitive shooters). The variety of inputs and the remote for it are such a boon. And it has wifi.
Wait, isn't 120Hz superior to 144Hz since 120 is an even multiple of 60, and some games are capped at 60FPS? Should I lower the refresh rate of my monitor to 120Hz? I barely notice a difference between 120Hz and 144Hz anyway.
Yep! I prefer 120
I'd actually very much like to see how this monitor compares to the Acer Nitro VG271U Pbmiipx (~$345)
I'm in the market for a new monitor, and would love to see how these 2 stack up, H2H.
Smucky ! For 1440p gaming the Benq is great. You can use it on pc, run your Xbox on it at 120hz with HDR. LG also makes a 27” 144hz IPS 1080p monitor for like $330 on Amazon.
@@RagingRudy I'm aware of the LG... Kind of a 3 way tie in my head RN between the 3, and I've got nothing to go by visually to decide on which I'd get, unfortunately... Seems like nobody has "head to head" comparisons of them.
Might have to travel to my closest Microcenter to see if I can't make a comparison... 🤷♂️
Smucky ! Right on, I live like half an hour from the micro center here in Virginia. Yeah there is no head to head comparison unfortunately, plus I like to see it in person before I spend the money. But I have the BenQ and it is great, my brother has the LG and it looks great also. Hard decision.
That pixel doesn't look dead. looks stuck. Did you try to fix it?
Tried massaging, flicking, running the dead/stuck pixel app for a little while
2:45 are you sure the stuttering is not just high shutter speed? I've seen this in cinema and it looks like shit. I don't believe you would notice stuttering viewing 24p footage on 60Hz monitor.
commenting for algo. ur vid certainly did get me interested
Haha thanks
This or LG 27GL850?
Question on when UA-camrs do 24hz videos with 30hz game play. Wouldn't (probably shouldn't) transcode there game play from 30hz or 60hz to 120hz and then transcode again to 24hz. Not sure if this would cause a problem or not
the source footage isn't 120hz so that would not help at all
@@EposVox thank you I guess I was trying to understand why that is different. I agree they 24 doesn't divide evenly 30 but they share the common denominator. 2 and 6.
Do you have a video on this problem so I can learn more on this
I mean there's not much to it. Judder, frame pacing, and maths. The gameplay clip I showed should really be all you need
2:14 yees! But for some reason big channels who call themselves "filmmakers" don't tell about that, but tell about "cinematic" look of 24 fps out of the box. Meanwhile even kids know that 24 is not the best frame rate for video content ua-cam.com/video/pjMtux_zFU4/v-deo.html Something is wrong with this world.
Hmm. It looks cool.
:D
What is the model number of dell monitor you said has "full hdr"?
UP2718Q
@@EposVox Thank you
I must be special. I've been watching movies and playing games on crap displays, good displays, TN panels, ips panels, va panels, 60hz panels, 144hz panels, 1ms panels, 4ms panels, 5ms panels, 8ms panels, 1080p resolution, 1440p, 1440p ultra widescreen, 8 bit, 10 bit, hdmi, VGA, dp, etc etc etc.....and I had no complaints and haven't noticed any "annoying" issues concerning 24hz to 60hz transition.
Look at some pan and scan shots from any 24p film on a 60Hz panel! It looks really jerky. That's why some media players like MPC-BE include options to automatically change the refresh rate of the display, based on whatever video is playing. There are also Directshow filters like ReClock that fixes that annoying pulldown jutter. I guess you simply could search "pulldown jutter" on UA-cam to find some good examples.
Less than 600 nits = HDRen't
Haha
That’s why I build my own monitors as they always sell you cheap panels when you after a bargain. I made a monitor with a 1600nitts panel. Ordered the parts from panellook dot com. Mind blowing experience. You can put it to direct sunlight and you can still able to enjoy every single bit of it!
There's way more that goes into a good HDR experience than peak brightness, and this monitor delivers far better than most I've reviewed. I'll have a video after CES coming that compares the "faux HDR" on a few monitors to the "real HDR" on both my TV and $1500 professional monitors to discuss this.
@@EposVox Ow boi CES will be insane on TV and Monitor tech this year!
Finally we will have monitors with ok HDR for gaming.
And yes i agree HDR600 is the MINIMAL for proper ok HDR.
I super wish I had a remote for my monitor. When I'm streaming and have to change the input for my one monitor to either go back to my PC or go to my console, I have to watch my mic arm. Cool that it's included with this monitor.
use a input switch, this way you only use 1 input on your screen and most have a cheap IR remote to switch , 2 HDMI in an 1 out. that will fix your problem
I've switched to using a TV as my monitor partly because of the really good remote control.
The upcoming ASUS PA32UCG is a monitor for gaming, movie watching and content creation. Have you seen/heard about it? 32-inch, 4K HDR, Mini LED Backlight, 1,152 zones local dimming, 120Hz VRR, Dolby Vision, HDR-10, HLG, ΔE < 1, DCI-P3, Thunderbolt™ 3, HDR 1400
It'll also probably be crazy expensive.
@@MysteryMii Of course. I never said otherwise. Its baby brother the PA32UCX with only HDR1000 and no VRR is almost 4000 www.amazon.com/dp/B07XTYZQM2/. Mini LED ain't cheap. Apple didn't manage to include mini LED in the XDR, so ASUS has beaten them to the punch. Still, it manages to be half the price with mini LED & high refresh rate.
Sounds interesting! Going to be absurdly expensive, hard to drive games that way, and 32 inch way too big for any of my setups unfortunately
@@EposVox in a few years all the content power users will be using 38 or above Screen. join the revolution now.
The ProArt PA32UC-K (which the G seems to be a revision of) is £1,999.
I just wish that 1440p monitors could take a 4K signal and downscale it so I could use a PS4 Pro
Scaling by aspect ratio via OSD?
55" or 49" OLED from LG or a QLED R70 and upto R90 from samsung will do the trick, whit VRR aka free/gsync.
49" is only 60hz 4k tho wher 55" and up supports 120hz 4k over hdmi on the oled and the samsungs are only 60hz 4k
ups forgot the LG OLED´s are the B9/C9 or E9 they all supports the tings i said
Wow really? It has only bad reviews on Amazon
Thanks for the Video
im gonna tell you guys in chat right now,. HDR 400 lawl sry dude thats just not HDR its garbo - That monitor your looking for is a 55" Oled tv LG C9 whit Real HDR
not the flimsy HDR 400/1000HDR on pc monitors, they all not good and LG C9 suports Real 4k 120hz or lesser - 1440p 120hz whit HDR on all ress and upscale to 4K or SD games whit HDR over hdmi 2.1, plus the TV have prob alot better sound. and suport 4k or downedscaled 4k over Xbox or PS4
it have 6ms input lagg not MS - MS it have 1ms grey to grey. - and last its not a monitor i know but it behaves like a pc monitor the diffrence are kinda over except if your a pro fps player then its prob not for you,
but as a Movie/gaming + >all content monitor, its BIS and then oc the price is high, but its just so good. if budget are a issue you can run whit the LG B9 or QLED R70 55" (QLED is only 60hz 4k tho. maby thats enouigh for you" from samsung, the 49" models "only" suport 60hz 4k but if thats your jam you can look at that too, dobble check the specs whit im not sure if it have all the bells as the 55" models have
ohh forgot it have Gsync "over 2000 series cards support, made available from Nvidia and lg combined" upto 4k 120HZ if that s your thing u need
And it have better colors and blacks , higher brust nits, the list go on and on. but its a 55" TV/pc monitor, so if you like me 27">to a 34" ultrawide>to a 49" super ultrawide> natural progression is a 55" OLED TV whit all the bells and extras pc monitors just dont have "yet".
ohh forgot it have Gsync "over 2000 series cards support, made available from Nvidia and lg combined" upto 4k 120HZ if that s your thing u need
Why would u prefer this over Asus VG27AQ ??? lol
Bad backlight bleed which ruins the hdr experience. 165hz is dumb.
And most monitors that are rated 165Hz or 144Hz on the box, are just marketing ratings.
165Hz panels run best on 144Hz and 144Hz panels run best on 120Hz.
Watch some "Hardware Unboxed" video's, they have the best graph for real refresh rate performance.
@@EposVox I think its natively 144HZ has to be overclocked to 165? Alot of reviewers have said good things about them so I was curious about your opinion on it too
👍👍👍👍
27 inches is too small for my entertainment now. If you want to watch movies from a comfy position it surely is a bit small for anyone?
For a couch, sure. For a desk it's perfect.
first? happy new year!
Happy New Year!

HDR400.... yeah, that's a pass. They finally made yet another faux HDR monitor.
I get that it's not "real hdr" but tbh I find lower brightness hdr a much better gaming experience
@@EposVox I agree. I think that's why I prefer HDR on OLED panels. However, I do think peak brightness is important for HDR content even if the general brightness level is set lower to preference.
There's way more that goes into a good HDR experience, and this monitor delivers far better than most I've reviewed. I'll have a video after CES coming that compares the "faux HDR" on a few monitors to the "real HDR" on both my TV and $1500 professional monitors to discuss this.
@@EposVox oh that's definitely true. I was just commenting on my anecdotal experience with peak brightness.
Most of the reason I tend to not like "fake HDR" displays is because they try to mimic the effects of having a high contrast and high peak brightness which usually tends to destroy any accuracy the monitor had in SDR.
This is more of an issue I have with implementation, not necessarily brightness. It's good to hear this monitor seems to go in a different direction. Look forward to hearing more of your thoughts on the subject.
yo basic
