Review: Great for coding - This monitor is excellent. I'm a professional developer with a 3 monitor setup, and this is the best display I've used. It has modes for coding in light mode, dark mode, and an SRGB mode for when colour accuracy is important. I mainly use dark mode, and it's fantastic. The contrast ratio is just like using an OLED, and it's very easy on the eyes. The anti reflection coating is pretty good, but not as good as on the flagship Samsung TVs. The halo back light also helps to reduce eye fatigue. The 3:2 aspect ratio is brilliant for developing. You don't miss out on any screen size, as it's a 4K monitor with some extra pixels at the bottom of the screen. This means any 4K media plays in native resolution, just with bigger black bars than on 16:9. The monitor also has a built in USB hub, and KVM. It has a thunderbolt 4 connection with 90W of power delivery. By plugging your keyboard and mouse into the monitor, you can plug the USB C thunderbolt into your computer as a one cable solution for power, display, and peripherals. The KVM means it can be connected to 2 computers at once, with an easy way of switching between them. It's pretty cool being able to connect with just one cable, and makes it easier to connect laptops and tablets without needing an expensive dock. I'd like more than one of these monitors, but the price is quite high, and I also need to keep at least one standard monitor, so I can test UIs on a more standard resolution and aspect ratio. I might buy another if the price comes down on black Friday.
Review: Fantastic monitor - What a great fantastic monitor with great black levels unlike my other Dell ips screen. Nice and clear text and the added resolution really does help and the size is perfect. The moonlight is adjustable is colour white to yellowish and the intensity. Attached is the lowest setting with yellowish colour. This monitor also does 90w power deliver and video and also has mst so you can connect second screen to this monitor which will pass it through to any device so with built in kvm I can switch from my work laptop and PC and use a added second screen. I have mine paired with a small portable monitor.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big fan of this size, and the automated brightness control
*by G***N on 15 February 2025*

I'm a full time software developer. I was using a 25" 1440p Dell (nice, but discontinued) and needed to get a second monitor for another location. I initially picked 25" over 27" on purpose, having read Nick Janetakis's article on the ideal screen size for developers (long, but worth a read). I find text on a 24" to be just as legible as my 16:9 25", but appreciate the extra height of 16:10. I also prefer the colours and contrast on the BenQ, and its ability to adjust itself to the ambient lighting conditions is superb. So in all respects, I prefer this BenQ to my Dell. I'm still using the Dell, but on a different desk. No need to buy stuff we don't need, right? I was also 28" curious, and did try the 28" version. It's got a very nice image, but (as a tiling window manager user) I found that I was turning my head left and right a lot, and rarely looking at things in front of me. It's tall too, so a lot of stuff I'd need to read would be near desk level, which has a fairly negative impact on my posture. Conclusion: I'm far better off when my windows (which fill my screen) are on a display whose edges aren't so difficult for me to see. This is also why I prefer a single screen. I usually put code on one workspace, documentation on another, and switch between them with a keystroke more quickly than I could turn my head to look at another screen. Occasionally I need docs and code side by side, in which case I'll put a browser next to my editor. That works great too. Often I'm working on an app, and will put the app's UI next to the editor so I can see the impact of my changes in real time. Also great. And if I need to see two different files, they're visible side by side in a full screen editor. End result: I'm pretty confident I've got the best monitor on the market for tiling window manager users who don't want to be turning their head a lot, looking up/down too much, etc. Also, on looking up/down, beware a monitor that's so tall that you need to read things above eye level. It requires your eye to be wider open than normal, which increases the rate at which the lens dries out. Combined with our tendency not to blink when looking at a screen, this can increase your chances of getting dry eye disease. I'm now an eye drop user, and I think it's because I used to position a monitor a bit high. So that's another reason not to get a bigger one.
