This monitor falls short of excellence because of mediocre contrast.Īccuracy is a highlight. Still, if your office happens to be located on Mercury, BenQ has you covered. That’s among the highest figures we’ve recorded from a stand-alone monitor, and it’s frankly too much for typical use, as there’s no reflective glass panel to overcome. Using the B元201PH at its default settings practically requires sunglasses, as it boasts an incredible maximum brightness of 314 lux. It’s a handy extra for anyone who change color settings frequently. They’re not helped by an ugly, sometimes obtuse interface (color controls are found under color temperature, for example, and only work in the user-defined color mode).īenQ partially rectifies the problem of touch control with a USB-connected remote that includes several customizable hot-keys. Users can access the many features through touch-sensitive controls that, like most of their breed, don’t work particularly well. There’s also an option to change hue and saturation, but not on a pure-color basis. Five levels of gamma, three levels of color temperature, and user definable values for red, green, and blue join the usual trio of brightness, contrast, and sharpness. This BenQ is part of the “Designer Series,” but you wouldn’t know that by looking at it.

There’s even an advanced picture-by-picture mode that lets users adjust how large each desktop sharing display space appears, though it only works with Windows after a software install. The CAD profile, for example, enhances colors frequently associated with CAD wire-frames (like magenta) so they’re easy to see. The B元201PH has a massive list of features targeting designers, image editors, and other professionals, such as custom color profiles for CAD, animation, and low-light environments. A pair of five-watt speakers is bundled, too.
Five USB 3.0 ports, a headphone jack, and an SD Card reader round out connectivity. Video input is available via DVI, DisplayPort, mini-DisplayPort, or one of two HDMI ports (though only the DisplayPort jacks can input 4K resolution). A VESA mount is included, so the default stand can be replaced, but for $999 we expect more.Ĭonnectivity is a strong point. That could be an issue if your desk is less than rock-solid. A great dealt of movement from our desk’s surface made its way to the monitor, resulting in wobble. We noticed during our review that the bundled stand is on the unsteady side. Does this BenQ make common mistakes - or is it a budget-friendly behemoth? Aside from the fact 4K doesn’t look as sharp when spread across a larger area, monitors that prioritize size and price often skimp on color accuracy and on-screen controls. Yet big, inexpensive panels often have their pitfalls. That’s about the same as Acer’s B326HK and far less than the admittedly superb Samsung U32D970Q. Its has a massive, 32-inch, 4K IPS panel that promises to display 100 percent of the sRGB gamut and uses “flicker free” backlighting to allegedly reduce eye strain. The B元201PH is, at a glance, the perfect example. That’s a shame, because BenQ has consistently cranked out high-quality displays at reasonable prices. The typical American consumer likely catches sight of the name “BenQ” and says “Ben what?” The Taiwanese company isn’t well known on these shores, and a result many consumers forget to give it a fair shake.
