GC2870H

This review is for the GC2870C. There are hundreds of reviews, but I wanted to add my perspective. After researching monitors over several weeks, I bought the BenQ for a very bright office at work. My IT department is the worst because they just don't care what workers need; I was using very old 19 inch Dells with terrible viewing angles and low resolution. They also supply very glossy Dell monitors that are practically unusable in a room with a window. What an upgrade is this BenQ monitor! Since I bought this with my own personal funds for use at work, price was an issue, and this monitor for around $160 fit the budget. My office is extremely bright, with a south-facing aspect in a very sunny climate. The south wall of my office is 100% window horizontally, and vertically, there is only three feet at the bottom that is wall and not window. So it's very, very sunny. I do have a black screen I can pull down, but it doesn't black out the room and the sun still shines through it. Plus who wants to sit in a black room for eight to 10 hours a day? This monitor is fabulous in such a bright setting, even without the shade closed. There almost no glare, and images and text are crisp and easily viewed. The wide viewing angle helps tremendously, too. I was having terrible eye strain and headaches with my last monitors due to the glare and the awful viewing angle. So far after half a day, I've noticed a huge difference. I'm no longer squinting to read text. Keep in mind that this model (GC2870H) does NOT have speakers. Not an issue for me in an office where I use headphones. Overall, this is a great value and works well in a very bright office setting using a web browser and office applications. (I played HD video to test it out, and that looks great, too!)

Excellent 1920x1080p monitor. Video games look great, I'm using it with Windows and a MacOS laptop. The Windows laptop plays videos in full 1080p HD just fine over HDMI, however I can't get my Mac to play Prime Video in HD which is a bummer. This model has the 3000:1 contrast which is just slightly better than the typical 1000:1. The colors and contrast are nice compared to other monitors. The eye saving blue light filter and other features are quite nice. If you have a Mac, you won't be able to get HD from Prime Video on there due to the limitations on the Mac with this monitor, but if on Windows all is fine. You can get HD playback on Prime on Windows. The only thing I wish it had is a USB port to plug in some media or a Chromecast or FireTV.

This is an excellent monitor (I am not a gamer, so I cannot speak to gaming). Great color. Great resolution. Fast enough response time for watching 1 minute stock charts. I'm not as fond of the Eye Care feature as I thought I would be (and the reason I bought BenQ). I like the little app called f.lux much better. Also, beware, the BenQ monitors do not work with all graphics cards. I just bought a 2nd BenQ monitor and this is when I realized that the EVGA GT 710 2GB DDR3 64bit Single Slot, Low Profile 02G-P3-2713-KR graphics card, which supports 3 monitors (3 ports), does not work with BenQ. It's too late to return this 27" (which I've been plugging into a USB port with an adapter), but I'll definitely return the new 24" that I just received since it doesn't work with my graphics card. All that might sound confusing, so I'll say that I have 4 monitors, 1 Dell, 1 ViewSonic (both work great with the graphics card), a Gateway that just died. Those were the 3 I had plugged into my graphics card. The BenQ was in the USB port. 2nd BenQ to replace dead Gateway. Now I know that I need a different brand than BenQ. Sigh.

I rarely leave reviews. I only leave reviews when something exceeds my expectations. This monitor has done just that. I primarily use my monitors for web development, mobile app development, web browsing, and reading lots of technical articles. I do very little gaming, but in those other categories, the picture is bright and crisp. I first bought one for my son who does game and he loves it. But he's not uber-focused on FPS or a hard-core gamer at all, and neither am I, so I really don't know how great this monitor is with respect to gaming. I was concerned that 1920 x 1080 spread over 27" might make text or anything on the screen to be grainy. I suppose if I sit super close, text can be, but at 2 to 3 ft away it suits my needs. Videos and photos are sharp for me as well. I'm a week or two in to using it and I haven't had to make any adjustments so far. I'm using it as it was setup right out of the box. I have a dual-boot OSX and WIN10 machine and the monitor does well on both OSes.

I am writing this review 10 minutes after I plugged it in. Super clear text on the screen, and super white, so I am super satisfied! I didn't have my HDMI cable yet, so I used a D-Sub (VGA) connector. I turned on the computer and Bingo! It was right there right away. No fiddling with controls or drivers. I thought my old monitor was clear and sharp, but this one has it beat by a landslide. Just glad I resisted the temptation to buy a $300 Dell Ultra Clear since I have been having age related vision problems. I even bought new computer glasses. This BenQ monitor has solved my computer related vision problems at a very reasonable cost. I don't know if operating with an HDMI will improve the screen, as it is already superb for text and pictures. I'm glad I opted for the 27" screen as it sure makes a visual difference.

The screen is great, excellent price and super quality. It took me almost a week to get used to the new screen. Once used to it, it's been great. Delivery is not super, but acceptable. I received my screen in 1 week.

Tenía anteriormente un Benq V2400W de 24" pero a sus 10 años fallaron las lámparas pero al ser con resolución 1920 x 1200 no pude conseguir repuesto por lo cual actualizé a este monitor el cual en Hot Sale me salió en $3040 y estoy fascinado con su calidad de imagen (Los negros se ven perfectos sin brillo blanco de fondo). Y aunque siento que tiene un poco más de lag frente a mi viejo Benq los colores en esté se notan más vividos y el brillo sobrepasa a otros monitores de la competencia. Me llego sin ningún pixel dañado y todo perfecto, incluye 2 hdmi y 1 vga. Además trae los 2 cables y no tiene fuente externa si no que viene dentro del monitor.

Pour usage au bureau. Très satisfaite.

Happy with these we have 10 of them in our office clarity is good and screens are clear to look at. Having two on each computer gives us lots of real-estate to look at. Very happy with price and quality, will by more as needed when we expand.

Buena calidad y precio. Es full HD como lo dice en la descripción y cumple con su cometido. Se ve mejor con una MacBook que con Windows
