Very nice screen, ergonomic, the remote control is a plus!
Very nice sound when it is well adjusted.
The 1440P with 144Hz is just great !
I recommend it !
After 4 months of use, a bad surprise. The left backlighting failed. This confirmed the impression of a "suffering slab" that was sometimes present (despite normal use).
Good point: the BenQ after-sales service was very good. I sent a return request on Monday, specifying that I was working from home (long live covid). New screen received on Thursday (a refurbished model). I couldn't have asked for anything more efficient.
The new model received has the same problems as the first one (see my previous review for details).
Hopefully it won't break down in a few months too...
A very nice (and large) screen, received without dead pixels. No ghosting problems found. The numerous settings make it a good screen for games and a little bit for amateur retouching.
It holds 144Hz with a good graphics card, it is freesync => it is perfect
The plus is the presence of stereo speakers which certainly won't sound good in a flat but are very efficient and pleasant (sound quality & bass/treble) for listening to music while working. I also appreciate the integrated power supply (no box lying around on the floor, like other screens).
The detail which is not useful and which makes it indispensable: the remote control!
Received about 10 days ago.
For gaming, web, multimedia and programming use.
Quality of manufacture and image rendering: nothing to complain about.
The screen is well made, the image is bright and the colours are vivid.
As a bonus, the remote control is nice, the intelligent HDR still gives the picture a boost (even on SD content) and the speakers are really good. The speakers are still not as good as desktop 2.1s but are quite usable (unlike the built-in speakers on my AOC equivalent).
The negative:
- The panel clearly drifts towards yellow and doesn't look very uniform vertically. (I haven't done a probe test, but I've added a lot of blue in the settings to get a white that looks white)
- The colours are absolutely not correct out of the box. The image is very bright and flattering to the eye. For multimedia use, this is a plus. For a content creation use, it's not so good. A calibration probe is mandatory in this case.
- The stand: what was BenQ thinking when they proposed such a stand? The screen is barely 10 centimetres from the desk. There's no way anyone could use it at that height without getting a twinge. Something to raise it up is a must.
- A very slight flicker of brightness is sometimes visible. I have not identified the cause. I hope it is not a weakness somewhere.
- Motion blur is still present despite the 144Hz.
- The FreeSync appears well in the nVidia settings but no info in the OSD.
This screen is really what I was looking for. Its connectivity is very complete (2 hdmi, a displayport and a usb-c) and above all everything works at 144hz, which is far from being the case for other screens (often limited to 60hz except displayport...)
The remote control is a real plus!
The inputs switch automatically, which is also very practical for connecting several PCs, Macs or consoles.
The ergonomics of the OSD is perfect. In addition, the sound is really amazing for a screen, it can replace standard 2.0 speakers without any problems.
Finally the screen is of very good quality: very faithful colours even in the factory setting, no IPS glow, no dead pixels and very good responsiveness in games.
