Q: Is this monitor Mac compatible?
A: Careful! While it "works" with a Mac, there is limited capability. There is no driver available for Macs, so it uses the monitor as a generic monitor. For instance, you cannot change the display size and have no capability to adjust the volume using your Mac, when using HDMI. The monitor was designed for Win 8, and only allows adjustments on Win-based computers.
Q: does this monitor have an auxilary port for headphones
A: Yes. Usually your PC will have an auxiliary headphone output as well for headphones or external PC speakers. Remember to look for shielded headphones or speakers so things like monitor or WiFi routers won't impart a buzz/static into your speaker sound. Hope that helps!
Q: Does this monitor have a camera, if so can you use it for FaceTime on a Mac Book or Mac Mini?
A: No camera. You can get a clip on external camera anywhere.
A: Matte. No glare and still pulls off rich color. I have two and I use dual monitor for gaming. By far the best monitors I've owned.
A: Can't answer dual monitor question but usually you need two video cards in PC. However, if I understand your second question correctly to see EXACT COLOR of printed picture on screen (as monitors tend to be much brighter than printer output) you need a monitor Calibration device and software that will set your screen to match printer output. An example of an easy to use device but somewhat pricey device is the Spyder 4 Pro. If you want to edit photos beyond redeye and brightness, you will need this device with even the best monitors. Good luck!
Q: Is there a DVI input on this monitor?
A: Yes. The monitor doesn't have a dedicated DVI input, but comes with a cable to "convert" DVI to HDMI. DVI/HDMI are basically the same with different connectors, though sometimes the DVI cable won't carry sound. Luckily, mine is doing that just fine. If you're concerned about picture quality using the DVI adapter, don't be.
A: No; this is not VESA compliant. This model is not meant to be mounted. Please try another model.
Q: Which is better for gamming, this one or BENQ RL2455?
A: Short answer: both are great monitors for gaming, depending on what you're looking for. Long answer: I was between this monitor and the RL2755HM, which is a larger version of the monitor you specified. Both have extremely low input lag, but the difference is in the display panel. Asus is IPS and BenQ is TN, which basically means the Asus monitor will have more saturated colors and the BenQ will look more washed out by comparison. The BenQ monitor you mentioned is specifically designed for console gaming and used in the Major League Gaming circuits, and it ends up having a very fast refresh rate of 1ms. The Asus monitor is 5ms, but I have to tell you, I personally can't tell a difference. Color was important to me, because I'm using this monitor for more than competitive gaming. Aesthetically, the Asus monitor looked better to my eye, more mature and high-end in its design, whereas the BenQ is built for gamers and has a gamer-focused design. I bounced between the two monitors for a long time and ultimately ended up on the Asus, but you can't go wrong with either monitor.
