With 4K HDR support, you get superb video quality for immersive multimedia entertainment with brilliant brightness and deep contrast. High Dynamic Range (HDR ) and HDR Cinema Mode increase the overall dynamic range between deep black and bright white to best reproduce what your eyes see in the real world.

A display that cares for your eyes

The Benq EL2870U is equipped with a number of technologies to reduce eye strain. With Brightness Intelligence Plus technology, eye strain is reduced in all light environments. BI+ detects the ambient brightness and colour temperature to adjust the display settings, with a warm, soothing white for comfort and a cooler white for productivity. In addition, this technology adjusts brightness to avoid overexposure and to enhance detail in dark areas, preserving original saturation and hues with smooth colour gradation.

The screen also features Low Blue Light technology designed to filter out harmful blue light to effectively reduce eye strain and irritation. You can quickly switch between the 4 pre-configured Low Blue Light modesfrom the OSD hotkey (Multimedia, Web, Office and Reading) and protect your eyes without sacrificing your viewing pleasure.

Finally, with Flicker-Free eliminating flicker regardless of brightness intensity, BenQ displays effectively reduce eye strain for user comfort and increased productivity.


Immersive gaming

The Benq EL2870U features AMD Freesync technology for intense gaming. You get smoother, more intense images that let you get the most out of your games. FreeSync prevents the appearance of torn or broken images that cause jerky gameplay, for a more consistent gaming experience. With a variable refresh rate that delivers an ultra-smooth gaming experience, the EL2870U is the ideal display for gamers.

    Simple and effective

    Used as a connected TV, it's a very good quality screen. The only downside, which isn't really a downside, is that it requires a sound bar, as it has no native audio output.

    A good monitor to feel the stick

    Used with a Mac Mini, consoles (Xbox X Series and PS4) the graphics rendering is good. It is 4K, HDR, VFR compatible and can (according to my Xbox) run at 120Hz. Designed for gaming, this screen also offers a cinema mode that is automatically activated when watching Disney+.
    The only big flaw of this screen is the sound which is really weak to be polite. It's not easy to enjoy a film or listen to YouTube. The sound is a bit too flat and tasteless.

    Good value for money

    Nice product, works perfectly. The HDR doesn't do much and the on/off button is oddly located in relation to the HDR button, but that's not important.

    Excellent r Q/P

    Great images, beautiful colours after custom settings, may not be suitable for the most demanding or for professional video/photo editing use... But the quality is still excellent. Hard to find better 249?

    Good screen to introduce 4K

    This screen is a good value for money, if you have a small budget it is very good, (bought at 250 €).
    If you are looking for a screen with quality HDR, you need to go to another screen because this one is clearly not made for that.
    The first time I test 4K and it's impossible for me to go back to 1080p.
    The colours are acceptable (normal for a TN panel) and it is perfect for gaming as it is very responsive.

    Very good screen for the price

    This BenQ screen is very well made for the price. The assembly is easy. The buttons look a bit cheap but that's not a big deal if you only touch them very rarely. I got this screen for my PS4 Pro and in anticipation of the PS5, and everything works fine with a 3840 x 2160 display.
    HDR isn't really a plus but I would recommend this screen.

    I am fully satisfied with this screen.
    Excellent Q/P ratio

    70 cm screen (diagonal)

    It's too wide a screen if you're 30cm away from the screen typing on your keyboard (60 is enough compared to standing back). So finally, it's only plugged into a PS4 PRO with a headset (with adjustable volume) plugged into the console controller. If you step back far enough, it's perfect

    Intermittent black screens

    Since receiving it, I have had intermittent black screens. I have changed the graphics card to an RTX 2060, changed the USB cable, switched to Display port, still the same thing. I'm thinking of returning the screen to SAV.

    A good compromise

    value for money
    ease of installation
    the product's compliance with the advertised specifications
    This monitor is used for multi-window office work.
