Good for the Price, But Has Some Flaws
I bought this over a year ago, and overall, it’s a good product. However, a 32-inch screen feels a bit too large for a desk setup. That said, it works flawlessly with a Mac. The built-in speakers are poor and almost unusable. Occasionally, weird lines appear on the screen. In this price range, it offers good value for money. The color accuracy is decent, and the resolution is sharp. It’s easy to use, has good build quality, and comes with HDMI and USB-C to C cables, which is a plus.

Excellent product, best for wfh and movies as well
Everything about this product is excellent. It is perfect for Work from home and media consumption. Display quality is top notch. Speakers could've been louder. Noise cancellation in mic and speaker is good. Mic is superb. It is perfect for coding and watching movies also but in different modes. Usb hub is very good. Make sure to connect thru usb c port so monitor can charge and be used as usb hub also.

Vertical line issue after 2 years
I was initially happy with the monitor’s performance and display quality. But after just 2 years, a vertical line appeared on the screen and won't go away. Very disappointed with the durability—expected better from BenQ. Not recommended if you're looking for long-term reliability.

All rounder Monitor - Developers choice
A must have monitor for Developers/coders. What a great all rounder it is. Just works like a breeze with minimal cabling.I connected this monitor to my laptop with just one USB-C cable. Thrown my laptop charger, usb hub, hdmi cable everything out of my working desk.The monitor gets display connection from USB cable and charges the laptop back via the same USB cable.Not only that, it provides second desktop display to be connected via Display Port cable to my very old monitor seamlessly with the help of Multi-Streaming Transport technology (called Daisy chaining). So, no second display connection is required.Not only that, we can connect the usb dongle / mouse keyboard USB cables, memory stick, directly to this monitor. That gives connection to those from laptop via the same USB cable.Not only that, you can charge your mobile from monitor.Not only that, it has inbuilt noise cancellation mic and loudspeaker which allows to attend meeting hands-free.Not only that, it has special operating modes, coder mode enables display optimised for coding ( dark backgrounds pitch black and will not affect the eyes from the long time staring, e-paper mode makes screen like a real paper when we are reading documents.For making this features in our complete control the monitor has a small joystick 🕹️ under the screen easily and quickly accessible.No other monitor can be better than this in the situation of working-from-home.

Worth the money
Pros:1. Colour quality of the monitor is good - 1 B colors.2. The USB hub built into the monitor is very useful. I use it to connect the external hard drive to my MacBook3. The display can charge my MacBook via USB-C used for the video output.4. Speaker are not very loud but usable for meetings.5. Sensors for auto-brightness are very helpful.Cons:1. I prefer dark mode theme for coding but during day time the brightness is not sufficient and now I am forced to use light theme. Brightness of the monitor is insufficient if you are working next to a window. The sunlight makes the monitor look dull -_-2. The Display Pilot 2 software provided by BenQ used for configuration and integration with laptop is useless. It sets resolution of 16:9 aspect ratio, but the display is 16:10, so the view is scaled. I have to use BetterDisplay app to set correct resolution.

Best for productivity, intermediate designing, multi connectivity
I believe I am the first one to order this device. Release date is 3 April 2023. Bought this for usage with multiple device switch like from laptop or iOS to iPad to cpu. BenQ is a premium brand. It has a 2k IPS display. Display is crisp for my requirements. It has a very premium build quality and design. Looks ultra sleek and perfect of you are looking for such a device. Connects multiple devices, including Mac and iPad. Charges devices simultaneously. Eye care is perfect, hot keys for quick swap in settings. Was looking at Benq Mobius with freesync at 31k, but it was not for productivity. Chose this for 27k. Im not an avid PC Gamer, as i already have an xbox. This perfect for intermediate level designing. Has great IPS display. Coding mode is very useful, gives darker blacks. Connects with pc via HDMI or ctype usb(great feature). Love the white color, looks premium. Was looking for BenQ EW2880U as well but that was a ln old model, came with 4k, but old model, so ignored.Things I didn't like:- Comes with a 16Amp power plug, need to buy and adaptor for 200 bucks. I'm fine with this.- No point is using speakers, very feeble. I am fine with this as i have connected the monitor with external speakers. Has tilt up down, telescopic up down, swivel right left.Note that you'll not get all kinds of features in a monitor at this range.Will update the review after using for a month.
