Best 4K UHD Color Accurate Monitor under 54K
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!

Great for SDR, not for HDR
This review is for the BenQ EW3280U after one year of ownership. For HDR content or gaming, look elsewhere. For SDR 4K content, I would 100% recommend this.Cons:1. The HDR mode on this monitor is not usable. The brightness levels keep fluctuating, even if you try to force it to DisplayHDR mode. There is a firmware fix available, but it requires sending the monitor to the service centre (not worth the risk).2. HDR dynamic range is not up to the mark. If you're specifically looking for HDR, look for a monitor with a DisplayHDR rating of 600 or higher. DisplayHDR 400 is a marketing gimmick.Pros:1. The SDR image quality and colour range is immaculate. I have no words to describe how good this monitor is.2. The speakers are surprisingly good. To give you an idea in relative terms, if the cheapest two-speaker setups on other monitors are rated 1/10 and a dedicated 2.1 speaker is rated 8/10, I would rate this monitor's sound at 6/10.3. USB C is a great addition and the USB C cable was included in the box (not all monitors provide the cable - it's not cheap). This works fine with MacBooks and Windows laptops for charging, display and sound.I use this monitor with:a. a gaming PC via DisplayPort cableb. Apple TV 4K via HDMI cablec. Sometimes a laptop via USB C cablep.s. If you're trying to play HDR content in SDR mode and it looks washed out or grey, try a different media player. I've had no problems with VLC, but some other media players have this issue.

Excellent quality.
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.

Benq EW 3880 Review after one year use
I bought this monitor for 70k in a Sale and from the day one I really started loving it.Build quality is top notch. Base stand is quite sturdy. Bezleless design looks good.Eye care feature really helps in reducing strain to your eyes even after hours of usage. Visual quality is best.I used it to Work from home and it helped to finish a lot of work with ease due to wide screens so I can multi task effortlessly. Usb c feature is a boon to avoid cable clutter.Watching movies in full screen is a delight, sound quality is at best.I am not a pro in monitors however does not find any cons in particular as it takes care of my needs easily. However you might find a bit of neck strain after prolonged usage as you keep turning your neck paralelly.Its a bit expensive as well.

Good Monitor, Pathetic Support, now an expensive paperweight
This is a good monitor as long as you don't need servicing. Once you do need it, you will not be able to get in touch with anyone. Neither the support numbers on website will be helpful, nor will the service centers listed on the website will be of any help. Either they will not pick up your calls or they will say that they have stopped servicing BenQ.In India its best to buy only Samsung and LG products as they have a much better service network for electronic goods.Not able to decided what should I do with the Rs 54000 paperweight on my table.

Expensive - but worth it
I was looking for an upgrade for my Samsung 24" 4K IPS monitor - and ordered a LG 32UD59While 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 area) The black levels are a little on the gray side - although that was to be expected with an IPS panelb) The menu transitions are slow - probably a weak internal processor which is not justified on a premium monitorAudio 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.

Monitor superlativo e Amazon seconda mano SUPER
Ho aspettato qualche mese dall'acquisto per fare una recensione a questo splendido monitor.....Dire che sono entusiasta dell'acquisto e' riduttivo, per due motivi:motivo A)Questo Benq da 32 pollici 4K e' tecnicamente fantastico! La qualità dell’immagine è straordinaria, con colori vividi e dettagli nitidi che rendono ogni contenuto visivamente mozzafiato. Perfetto per il lavoro, il gaming e la visione di film, questo monitor offre un’esperienza davvero coinvolgente. La grandezza dello schermo consente di avere più finestre aperte contemporaneamente, aumentando notevolmente la produttività.Pannello 10bit e telecomando per switchare i vari ingressi (Particolare MOLTO MOLTO apprezzato).Ho 3 computer collegati a questo monitor e sono davvero contento.Motivo B)Un aspetto che voglio sottolineare è il servizio Amazon seconda mano. Ho trovato questo monitor a un prezzo notevolmente ridotto, circa il 35% in meno rispetto al prezzo pieno. Monitor come nuovo....unico "difetto" era un piccolo segnetto estetico sulla vernice della cornice (quasi non visibile)...... questo non influisce affatto sulla performance del monitor. È praticamente come nuovo, e l’acquisto si è rivelato un ottimo affare!In conclusione, consiglio vivamente questo monitor a chi cerca un’ottima qualità dell’immagine e un eccellente rapporto qualità-prezzo. E non dimenticate di considerare il servizio Amazon seconda mano: offre occasioni fantastiche per risparmiare senza compromettere la qualità.P.S. Amazon da' copertura e assistenza anche sui prodotti venduti sul loro canale seconda mano. Non l'avevo mai utilizzato prima, ma dopo quest'esperienza lo terro' sempre in considerazione.

This is a good size for gaming and general use.
I found the Monitor great for my Xbox gaming and also for general internet use. I have used it for some retro gaming with old Gog games like MYST And URU it was really good.

Very good monitor for both entertainment and productivity.
Really great monitor for both entertainment and productivity. The built in sound is great for a built in sound system. It won’t replace dedicated sound systems but will get the job done for casual video watching and other stuff. Color and picture quality it top notch at the price. I would definitely recommend if you’re in the market for a great 4K monitor. It’s one of the best 4K monitor in its category.

Decent
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.

A decent monitor but not perfect.
This was a decent monitor. 32" is the sweet spot for 4K UHD resolution at 100% scaling. The text is not too small that you can't read it and the screen is not too big that it overwhelms your desk.Work wise, this became the only screen I used as I could comfortably fit four 1080p windows on the one screen, be able to read the text properly without any scaling.The HDR was good but you cannot turn off the auto (so called intelligent) brightness when in HDR mode which can get annoying as you can notice the shifting brightness while watching movies and playing games.The speakers are probably the best in-built speakers I've seen in a monitor but you're probably going to use headphones or external speakers for a truly immersive experience.Unfortunately my monitor barely lasted 3 weeks. It went into sleep mode one day and I couldn't get it to work after that. Currently waiting on a refund and I am undecided whether I'll purchase the same one as a replacement.
