Good quality, feature-packed monitor
Pros:+Good image quality for the price you're paying+Multiple, configurable image options. I've attached a few in the images. Image 1 = Stabdard, Image 2 = M-book and Image 3 = E-paper)+Has an E-paper which is in black & white. It's good for use at night or for reading.+It has a low blue light mode that you can adjust directly from the monitor.+Has 2 HDMI ports and 1 Display port+Very good performance for the price. 1080p, 100Hz, many features built in for <£100.+Decent sound quality, but I usually use headphones.+Very easy to set up. About 5 mins total.Cons:-Monitor stand is really short and cannot be moved (I bought and invision Vesa 100 monitor arm as seen in the photos).-No Type-C port, but that might not really be an issue for you.TL;DR: Great Price to performance ratio. Good image quality and low blue light mode is helpful. But, I recommend you get a monitor arm.

Fantastic monitor for under £90.
I purchased this monitor as a backup to my Del 4K monitor. And although it does not have the resolution or the depth of colour to the Del it holds up well for the price point the screen is clear and bright and the colours are comparable to the more expensive Del monitor. I’m going to give it a solid 4 out of 5 for screen quality and build quality however the stand is not up to BenQ usual quality. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed as I paid less than £90. Overall, I’m going to give it 5 out of 5 because it’s such a fantastic monitor for the price and using it as a dual monitor in conjunction with my four times more expensive Del monitor it holds up very well.

HDMI, DisplayPort, USBC and competent speakers, good price too
A surprisingly good quality monitor at a very reasonable price.I needed something that would manage a USB video input (and all of the rest).My newest laptop simply forgot about HDMI and would happily use the USBC, much to my delight.The speakers are more than the adequate, although I would have preferred to HDMIs, instead of two DisplayPorts, but given it's technological versatility I can appreciate why they did it.My one came with two power cables, a European and the UK one.Seemingly, according to the startup screen, it went through numerous certifications and you can see it is a very decent monitor and no corners cut.Recommended.

Solid monitor for everyday use - great value for a home office
The media could not be loaded. I bought this for my home office and it’s been a solid upgrade. The picture quality is sharp and clear, with bright, accurate colours and good viewing angles. Text is crisp, and it’s easy on the eyes during longer work sessions thanks to the low blue light mode and adjustable brightness.The 100Hz refresh rate gives everything a noticeably smoother feel, especially when multitasking or scrolling through documents. Setup was quick — it connected via HDMI and worked straight away with no issues.The speakers are low quality, but that’s pretty standard for built-in monitor audio. I don’t use them anyway, so it’s not something that bothers me.Overall, this is a great monitor for anyone setting up a home office or just looking for a reliable screen for everyday use. Clean design, solid performance, and good value for the price

Great little monitor
Great value as part of the Amazon 2nds programme was in perfect condition.Monitor itself is bright with good colours and the versatility of the stand makes this perfect for the home office. Bought it because it’s 65w pd via usb-C and it makes a lot of difference in a small office space at home.

Brilliant budget monitor, Full HD
It's a great budget 27 inch monitor, pleased with it. Purchased for a very good price. Picture is perfect for me. Very customizable, BenQ software allows quick changes to brightness and night modes. Takes the 2 PCs and the button is easy to switch between them. Speakers ok for windows sounds and bleeps and general windows use but I use a bigger speaker for other types of multi media consumption, films & music, I expected that, happy to have the basic speakers, I consider them a bonus for the price. I can see why it's a well reviewed monitor, I did my research and endorse all the positives about this monitor.

Good value monitor
At around £75 when i bought this monitor I am very happyI bought it for a very specific purpose which is to use with the cycling training application Zwift in my garage so I didn't want to spend a lot given where it was going to be usedIt replaced a very old 17" unit so at 24" its much better.The computer picked it up automatically and changed to 1920*1080/60Hz by default (using an NVidia 1650 GPU).I tried setting the graphic card to 75Hz refresh which it did with no problem but I couldn't detect any difference in use (and Zwift runs at a maximum of ~50fps on my PC anyway so I didn't need that higher setting)Very happy with the picture quality out of the box and I have made no adjustments at all. very crisp and flicker free.Ready for use about 5secs after powering on which is good as wellI already have some other BENQ monitors and am pleased with those which is partly why I selected this unit5 Stars for the monitorBut - got the delivery notification that left with neighbour bit when I went to get it they had no knowledge of it. With no Amazon driver "failing to deliver" caught on our security camera it was pretty obvious that the Amazon driver has a new monitor so I had to ring up and complain - its tricky to navigate the Amazon automated customer service system but you can get to speak to a real person with persistence.And to be fair once I spoke to a real person another monitor was agreed to be sent FOC straight away, although it took another 3 days to arrive. Its the first time I have ever had anything like that from an Amazon delivery and it did leave a bad taste even though rectified quicklySo 1 Star for delivery and 5 Stars for customer service
