A: undefined

Q: Can I connect it both to my computer and Nitendo Switch? Will I be able to use for both?

A: Yes, but you will not be able to have both plugged in an the same time

Q: Can you use a Xbox series s

A: You can plug in the HDMI from the Xbox, I used my Nintendo switch to the HDMI port it looks awesome. Fortnite look good for example. Xbox series S can plugin the same way, through HDMI. The monitor has sound but is not loud and sounds tinny. It has a aux out that you can plug in an external speaker to. I used my bose mini under it. For Xbox you can use the headset that plugs into the controller and your set.

Q: Does this monitor support aRBG / Adobe RGB?

A: Hi Lux, For GW2780, its color gamut is NTSC 72%, it doesn't cover full sRGB color space. Based on the measurement, it is around 92% sRGB color space. thanks.

Great monitor, sucky builtin speakers.
Over all I am happy with the image quality. I ordered for in store pickup, it as it was not available in store. It came in 2 weeks to the store damaged. Box was crushed on one side as if load was sitting on the side. Curbsite pickup should have seen this, so i entered the store and customer service ordered a replacement. This took another 2 weeks to arrive in store. This time it was in tact. Quickly assembled it, no tools were needed. Everything snaped into place and the base had a big thumb screw which made it easy to hand tighten it sucure. Looked in the box and it ONLY came with HDMI cable no displayport cable. For this price I would have expected both. Using the included HDMI i connected it to my laptop and the picture was immediatly stunning. Sharp desktop, easy on the eyes. A huge upgrade from the laptop screen. Blue lite filter is great. MS office apps look great. Youtube videos look lively the colors are spot on. Only sucky part of this is the speakers, absolutely horrible. I have an older Asus monitor from 10 years ago and the sound on this BENQ is dismal in comparison. BENQ should not advertise the speakers on it, really disapointed in the sound volume. I mean come on how hard is it. Our cell phones have better louder sound. Fortunately the monitor has aux out and I can set up some external speakers passing through. So minus 1 star for the speaker quality and missing displayport cable. And minus another star for the damaged first box. Having to wait over a month to get a monitor sucks big time. Knowing what I know now about this, I would look for another monitor that has similar display but better louder built in speakers since this was one of the considering factors when I was looking. Great picture though, on par with BENQ of the past. Time will tell if the durability lives up to the company reputation of the past.

Excellent
Have using BenQ as my PC monitor for years (the major reason is that BenQ is the only brand emphasis in low blue-light). Purchased this one for my new computer. Pro: - Deliver as expected. (Even though my new computer arrived much earlier, but this deliver date was as shown during ordered.) - Plug-in then start working (auto detected HDMI) (My previous one need to manually adjust to HDMI) Con: - Its Speaker is terrible. (The speaker is working but the sound is not good, recommend to have a separated PC speaker.) Just want to balance this product's previous(one star) review since this BenQ monitor is working fine with me for over one month and my previous BenQ is working for pasted three years.
