BenQ BL2420PT Color Accurate Design Monitor 24 QHD 1440p | 100% Rec.709 & sRGB | IPS | Delta E≤3 | Calibration Report | AQCOLOR | Ergonomic | Speakers | DisplayPort | USB Hub

benq does it again! thanks!

This is the most color accurate monitor Ive ever owned, and that is straight out of the box without calibration. The rest of the features are just gravy. 4K is the perfect resolution for 32 inches. For gaming its amazing; youll see whatever the developers wanted you to see (only caveat is HDR is not the best so Id turn it off, also 60hz is the highest refresh rate). On top of that, even though this is not meant as a gaming monitor the input lag is very small. Ive had gaming monitors that tout their short input lag which feel the same as this. On top of that, the number of inputs as well as a USB hub built-in makes this an amazing workstation monitor. Even more wonderful is the PIP and PxP or PxPxPxP (thats right you could have up to 4 inputs in a grid!) makes this a multi tasking dream. The stand is solid and feels premium and has a nice range of movement. My current setup is: PC connected with DisplayPort to enjoy RGB 10-bit 4:4:4. 60hz is fine for me because many games with raytracing at 4K wont go too high above 60 fps anyway. Fire TV Stick 4K HDMI 2.0 to get streaming services at 4K (Streaming services in PC havent caught up to the digital rights the streaming devices have yet except for Netflix if you buy a codec from the Windows store. Also, the chroma subsampling of all streams and even Blu-ray is 4:2:0 as far as Ive learned so HDMI 2.0 is plenty as far as video goes.) The monitor has speakers and audio out via 3.5mm which go into my speakers. PS3 into the other HDMI port In conclusion, I couldnt be happier about using this monitor. All you need to do is make sure your devices meet the specs in order to fully use what this monitor is capable of. The only improvements would be higher refresh rate and better HDR (but an OLED might be more suitable for that).

I made the purchase of my monitor on the date of May 25, 2021 and the monitor has been a great upgrade from my old generic monitor, I can see color much more accurately and the area is very good I fell like I have lots of space to put all the panels for the tools and brushes and still have some nice area to work. However the this past days I have noticed a couple of things that have begun to bother me on the monitor, first it is the image burn-in issue. I have begun to notice that after working on software such as Photoshop for around 2 to 3 hours and then switching to another app for example to my web browser to change songs of a podcast I can see residual images of the Photoshop UI that show on the screen on areas that are of black or grey color. This issue is something I understand that is common on some LCD monitors, however I understand this is when the monitor has been on the same static image for long periods of time, for 20 hours or even more, but for there to be a very noticeable screen burn-in in just a few hours it does not seem normal to me. The second Issue is something I have noticed in just a couple days ago, on the left side of the screen I have noticed a small bright circular spot on the interior of the screen, I have cleaned the screen to be sure this is something being caused by an internal component, I disconnected the screen and cleaned it and used compressed air on the vents of the back side and then left the monitor on a soft towel on my desktop and then when I reconnected it the bright spot was gone, I did some research and it seem that this can be caused due to dust on the inside of the monitor or even due plastic lenses falling of due to them being unglued due to the use of the monitor. Once again this is an issue one would except to see on a monitor after some years of use not just some months. At the this past few delays I have been monitoring my monitor to see if the issues I spoke about persists or change after the cleaning and maintenance given to the monitor, it seems that the issue regarding the bright spot it no longer present however the screen burn-in is still a persistent issue. As mentioned before I have been incredibly happy with the monitor until this issues began but now that the bright circular spot seems to be gone the image burn-in issue is not really much of an issue, I just set the apps to full screen mode to hide all the panels while I work and when screen is displaying color other than black or grey it is barely noticeable. I do recommend this model if specially if you are using a generic monitor since the difference is extremely noticeable for me.

This review is for pd3220u. Amazon combines reviews for 3 very different monitors so please confirm which is which. Pros - Very nice display panel, love the colors and profile options, no flicker, good ergonomics, menus easy to use with configurable buttons and puck. USB power delivery is good for 85w. Have two computers connected to it using thunderbolt and display port but have not used the KVM features yet. I also have a high end 27” 4k LG monitor and the BenQ is a better display. Cons - The built in speakers are crap with tinny sound and zero base, don’t imagine using them. BenQ should really have used better speakers for a monitor in this price range. The picture-by-picture mode restricts each input aspect ratio to 16:9, which is borderline useless. BenQ needs to fix this through a firmware upgrade. And the monitor is heavy so not a great choice if you need to move it often. One clarification - the 27” version has a speaker / headphone out port on the back side along with the other ports. The 32” version has it on the right side. Many reviews claim the 32” has two headphone out ports, back and side, this is not correct. Overall, don’t see another option in this price range that ticks off all the features. Rating it 4* and docking a point for the speakers.

Probably the best productivity/ Creative budget monitor ever made. Love it so far. Look, if your a Max user you have 2 choices to avoid Mac OS scaling performance lag, 5k and 1440p. With this ultra wide you kinda get the best of both worlds. Will post more as I gain more experience with it.

Im not one to leave reviews... but this monitor is inexpensive and worth the investment if youre on a budget and not willing to spend over 1K on a good monitor. Im glad I read the reviews first before purchasing. DEFINITELY, recommend getting the USB-C to DisplayPort cable. They do provide other cords - I didnt test them out and relied on the reviews. To your concerns about the monitor turning on and off: the power button is very sensitive to touch, so a light tap/touch will do the trick. The different picture modes is a pretty cool feature - youll see the different color quality on different modes. The Macbook mode color quality isnt as accurate on the monitor, but for me, it doesnt bother me as much. Overall, its pretty easy to put together; the quality of this budget monitor is SO worth it if youre not that picky BUT still want a good quality monitor for your designs.

I really like this monitor. It is not cheap but well-worth it. It made productivity SOOO much better for me. I am not as tired looking at a laptop screen. I attached to a Mac Mini and works well. The speakers however are terrible. You have to but another speaker for this thing. I read the review about the speakers but i didnt think they were this bad. Again, excellent for money. Well-worth it. Get a pair of plug-in or bluetooth speakers with your order. Thanks!

The picture is OK, although LCD seem to glow. The main issue I had is that this monitor has different resolution based on different view settings. GIS processing and writing is my main job, and many times I need to switch viewing angles from standard view to vertical view. However, this monitor fail to maintain the same resolution for vertical view (1080p for 90 degree angle), which is pointless of having a 1440p monitor. This is really sucks. I ended up returning it and ordered U2518 from Dell.

I do a lot of color grading and editing of photos. While by no means a high-end display, the BenQ BL2420PT has a good pixel ratio for the cost & size, offering decent color & clarity for photo editing. The only irritation was having to purchase 4 different cables to test out how to get it to work with my MacBook Pro. For my setup, I am using a mini to full DisplayPort cable.

Colors looks great/image sharp. Easy to assemble and connect. Works perfectly with my MacBook Pro.
