Santanu –
4k resolution at 32″ is a visual treat. IPS panel on this is superb with negligible back light bleed.
Only problem is that the overall brightness isn’t adjustable when HDR is on unlike TVs. But the colours pop on this screen even without HDR so I don’t miss it.
I bought it for gaming with PS5, I don’t play competitive online multiplayer games so I’m happy with the 60 Hz.
And the speakers on this are pretty good. Obv not a high end soundbar setup but I use only the inbuilt speakers most of the time when I’m not using my headphones. Get plenty loud and is quite clear.
Overall an amazing product. BenQ aced it.

Worked out of the box with my M1 MacBook Air. Excellent picture quality and surprisingly good sound for a monitor. The remote is convenient. It feels solidly built and high quality and looks great. Very happy with my purchase. I’d happily buy the same brand and model if I need another.

No other review will tell you this!! Hence please read.
4K Monitor is no doubt great but please check your Laptop compatibility before buying one. OLD Mid Range Laptops with HDMI output may not support 60 Hz display using HDMI cable. HDMI 2.0 is required for 60 Hz display. Hence if you have old laptop then buying a 4K monitor will bring you to trouble as you will notice the difference of 60 Hz vs 30 Hz in mouse movement. Though with Type C port output this problem does not exist even for old laptops which support Display out using Type C. Hence keep note of this before buying.
Will not sing long about other features like HDRi or Trevolo Speakers – in short.. they are good.

I was looking for an upgrade for my Samsung 24″ 4K IPS monitor – and ordered a LG 32UD59 While the LG was good, I found it lacking on quality of text rendering and color shift.
Replaced it with this and absolutely delighted with the Benq. The colors are spot on and the viewing angles are great. Text rendering is sharp and extremely clear. The USB C charging is a bonus.
The only two cons I can think of are a) The black levels are a little on the gray side – although that was to be expected with an IPS panel b) The menu transitions are slow – probably a weak internal processor which is not justified on a premium monitor
Audio quality is acceptably good – better than what you would expect from a monitor although not a substitute for a dedicated solution.
The PQ though is more than enough to offset these minor cons though.

So, my first ever review on Amazon, and I have a very mixed feeling about this monitor.
Long story short, if you don’t wanna deal with the quality issues and wait weeks to settle with Amazon, simply skip this monitor. Amazon sent me 3 EW3280U in total and all of them have defects. If Amazon has stocks for the LG 32 inch high-end IPS models, I’ll refund the one I’m having and go with LG.
in details, starting form the 1st one I’ve received. The original one looks and works fine on day 1. I didn’t find any dead or bright pixel when I first set it up and performing monitor check. The first bright pixel appears near the bottom left corner while viewing the dark scene after a couple days of usage, then the very next day another dead pixel appeared at the dead centre of the screen while viewing contents with white background. I then asked Amazon for a replacement.
Amazon did send me a replacement very quickly, just that the replacement they sent me is damaged. The very top layer of the panel (the layer that looks like a protective firm which actually is part of the panel) is damaged on arrival. That’s so obvious that I found that as soon as I take it out from the box and I contact Amazon right away not bothering to power it on at all. This time Amazon refused to send me another replacement but said they can only refund me since they’ve already replaced it once. I refused the option of refund as the monitor I received originally is now the only monitor that works at hom. I need a monitor for my day to day job at home. Spent the whole afternoon going back and forth with Amazon, got redirected to different apartments and almost 10 agents, they finally agreed to send me another replacement as the one they sent me really shouldn’t count as a proper replacement.
It took almost a week for the 2nd replacement to arrive. The monitor was somewhat lost in transition apparently. Got told it’ll be delivered on Friday by 8pm so I stayed home for it, it didn’t arrive. There was no notification for reschedule of delivery from Hermes nor any status update on the tracking. The next morning, still no update on the tracking so I asked Amazon and got confirmed it’ll arrive by 8PM that day and that didn’t happen as well, also no update on the tracking. Amazon didn’t know what’s happening but simply told me they can refund me if I still haven’t received it by 2nd March, which pretty much you’re now very clear I’m not asking for a refund if you’ve read my review till here. Fortunately the monitor arrived on Monday. Hermes only sent me the email in the late afternoon just an hour before they came, lucky that I’m home this time so I can receive it.
Back to the monitor itself. This time there’s no physical damage comes with it, which is definitely how it should be, and I checked the panel using sample images for monitor testing, which it looks good on day 1 like the original one I received. Things seem fine. Now it’s the 3rd day I’m using it, and gosh there’s a dead pixel on the right half of the panel. Can clearly notice that dead pixel with white background as soon as I sit just a little bit closer to the monitor.
Up until this point I’ve already spent 2 weeks dealing with Amazon about the monitor, thus I don’t wanna waste my time on it anymore as I’ve got busier at work recently. I’ve contacted Amazon again just now and they’re redirecting my case to the specialist team to see what can they offer for this situation.
I have 5 years experience of selling monitors and have checked more then a thousand of monitors for my clients to get them flawless panels over those years. With that experience, I absolutely understand the panels may not always be perfect, but an in-perfect panel has only been acceptable on a cheap monitor so far. You just won’t expect a newly bought ~£600 monitor to have an in-perfect panel, and not just once, but twice plus one that’s even damaged. So where’s the quality control? It’s a shame that the colours on this monitor are quite accurate before calibration, so I suspect this monitor should have been factory calibrated, just BenQ doesn’t seem to care about bright/dead pixels. Other than the issues on quality control, the monitor is actually very well built – comes with a handy remote, which none of the other 32″ 4K monitor has, and the built-in speakers are actually quite nice.
I wish either BenQ or Amazon can take the quality issue seriously. This in fact is the worst shopping experience I have had with Amazon so far. All my other orders are either issue-free, or get sorted in a very short period of time. I’m still waiting reply from Amazon atm, and I just don’t know what to expect now.
Anyway, if you’re ordering, good luck to you. Maybe Lady Luck is just not with me these days.

I’m really happy with this monitor having had it a few months.
Though around £700 is a lot you’ll struggle to get a 32 inch display with 4K, HDR, good brightness for HDR (400+ nits), no PWM, eye care, Freesync and Gsync compatibility, and ideally IPS panel, USB-C video and power, good speakers, and a remote. I looked around a lot and the monitors were either a lot more or missed some features but weren’t that much cheaper.
32 inch 4K has been really good for working with Unreal Engine and that was one of my main drivers. I also wanted to use it as a TV with a Humax box and this has also been great – the REC.709 setting looks lovely and the remote helps, (and I’ve been able to add the monitor to my Harmony One remote as well). The speakers are good and provide a fair bit of bass – I didn’t find them disappointing like I have with some flatscreens. I can also with a laptop just use the usb-c cable for power and picture and it works great at 4K. 4K HDR gaming has also been great – no stuttering or tearing using the gsync with an Nvidia RTX 2070 super. The pictures look fantastic on games like Shadow of the tombraider, metro exodus – the pictures, especially for the former, often look real. I’m not a competitive gamer but I debated a bit about getting a higher refresh rate monitor – to say this this feels totally smooth with no issues for gameplay at 60Hz eve on racing games like forza horizon 4. 4K HDR from Netflix (note the windows app seems poor – and I use the browser which seems better) and discs has also been great though it has needed a bit of trial and error with settings. HDR 400 is the one that immediately appeals as the contrast can be altered and this enables you to set the HDR intensity to suit your own equipment and content. This was great but then I started to notice on Netflix HDR content and to a lesser extent in Metro Exodus the whole brightness of the screen would change quite frequently for some programmes. Whether this is Windows or the monitor not sure – though I’m not sure it happened with the Xbox One X but don’t have that connected to the monitor right now. I think it’s reading the HDR singal and implementing global dimming. However, the HDRi modes don’t do this and I’ve been able to get a really good picture using these modes. I’ve seen reports HDRi varies the brightness a lot but I haven’t found that to be the case at all. The thing is initially compared to HDR400 the whole picture looks dimmer and the HDR effect isn’t so strong. It’s like you’ve put sunglasses on. The contrast can’t be changed for the HDRi modes. What I did is set the RTX 2070 super to use nvidia settings rather than windows settings (which seems to vastly improve the picture anyway) and then and then alter the brightness and contrast there. I’ve then been able to get great pictures across the board. I realise that in comparison to and HDR600 or 1000 TV this might not be so good but it’s really good in comparison to non HDR video. If the screen shows the sun it makes you squint, torches look very bright, light flashes off metal etc – it all looks more realistic. What HDRi also does is manage the darker scenes better – it seems to keep better contrast and make them less washed out. Game HDRi seems to lift the brightness in the darker scenes a bit more which can be better in some circumstances but can make it look too flat and I generally prefer cinema HDRi. I’m pretty picky about picture quality and have a very good projector for films and I am very happy with the Benq. I would say check the HDRi super resolution and sharpness settings as I found the sharpness was turned right up to 10 and it made things look grainy or slightly odd / unrealistic at times until I turned it down a bit.
I debated a lot on VA or IPS and ultimately it seems they both have pros and cons. VA has better contrast but less realistic colours and brightness and colour temperature can vary across the screen, especially if you’re at an angle or close to the screen. IPS has accurate colours, better viewing angles, but in darker scenes can be more prone to IPS bloom – screen being brighter in one or more corners. I took the view I’d rather have the hit of IPS bloom – which is minimal on this even with HDR on and in the dark with a black screen or dark image – for darker material than issues that potentially occur all the time to varying extents but it’s a personal choice.
The only downside has been some quality issues. The first monitor had terrible bleed as well as a lot of brightness variations across the screen. The main bleed was a spot to right of middle and it looked like someone was always holding a little torch at the top of the screen. This was returned (got a replacement delivery next day after raising the issue, before sending off the faulty one – really impressed) and a new one was much better in terms of overall consistency of brightness across dark scenes, though had a similar bleed issue at the bottom to the right. Less severe but I returned this as well, also prompted by a price reduction.
This latest monitor that I’ve kept had minimal bloom and no bleed. I have noticed an issue whereby the honeycomb material stuck across the bottom bezel is lifting up slightly in a couple of places and I periodically need to push it down. not ideal but given the screen itself is good I’m living with this.
I went for 5 stars but would have probably done 4.5 if possible to account for the returns and the bezel but I am very pleased with the performance and picture quality of this monitor and it looks very nice – it doesn’t shout out computer monitor or look like an office item; it feels more like a nice TV.
Hope this helps – I deliberated a long time about what monitor to get and whether this one would be OK so hopefully this give some good insight to anyone in a similar position.

Though it’s slightly big, Bought it for work and am quite pleased with the picture quality and low blue light modes. The good – look & feel – usb c connection and power output to laptop – speakers & remote – automatic input selection
Not so good – height is not adjustable – needs the bigger power socket

The picture quality on this monitor is amazing for photo (& some video) editing, and works PERFECTLY with MacBook Pro M1. HDR is not that good but fine for the price. Also the built-in speakers are very good (not excellent), although you may need a stereo speaker for the best sound (I use Sony SRS-RA3000). Also no issues with brightness besides I keep it near a window (direct sunlight). I am not very much into gaming but it has FreeSync. No dead pixels, display bleeding (till now) or washed out colours. Watching 4K content (especially on Netflix) on this monitor is a visual treat!

Decent monitor, bright, good colours, feels response. The HDR is “ok” – I have had it for a year and find I have to activate it in Windows 11, then go into the Nvidia settings and manually tinker with the brightness, contrast and gamma every time as otherwise it completely washes out the Windows menus. Once a game activates it is much better but you couldnt use it with HDR active for every day office use. Also – note the dimensions listed here are not accurate. Its not 28 x 20 x 8 cm – its 28.5″ x 17″ x 8.5″ Its also very heavy. My monitor arm (designed for this size screen) couldnt cope with it at all, and I have had to prop something under it to keep it from constantly dipping down. So if you are pairing with a monitor arm make sure you have one that is designed for a heavy weight. The built in speakers are pretty good – I’ve ditched my external speakers now as a result. Also – note there is more black space round it than shown in the screenshots – there is even a black edge of CM or so of black screen which is odd.

I am using it for programming only. Good monitor easily fits two window in screen. No pain in eyes even you seat for longer time.
Only issue is you will get 16A power plug cable with it but you can simple use normal pc power cable. Or buy it cheap on amazon.
I think its good investment if you want good big monitor.

This is one of the best pc monitor specially for video editor and content creators like me. I do film in log videos in all my cameras so needed srgb 95 which very accurate and also displa mode rec709. I jusy love this monitor. Remote control is really handy to operate the menus and volume. Speakers sound good quality thought not very loud but normally we sit next to it and easily edit sounds too.
