    This does well with games with its low latency but has pretty bad black levels. Black areas of movies coming blocky and pixelated looking. Maybe it’s the Xbox graphics but I get it even when connected to my cable Box. HDR isn’t good at all. It just sort of brightens the backlight. I never use it. If you set all the levels and colors manually it can look pretty nice with Netflix. For gaming it’s great. Games want fast response and less screen tearing and jittering and this hits those marks. Use it for what it’s supposed to be for and you’ll be fine

    Purchased this to game with my PS4 PRO. Colors look very good. HDR works perfect. I play shooters and the response time really helps. Weak speakers are the only downside.

    I bought this as a lower-cost gaming monitor; it works well for that function. 1ms of inout.lag, 4K, two HDMI ports, and a single 3.5mm audio output. The video quality great, and my only gripe is a lacking USB port. The controls... well I still can't get used to them. Adjusting the volume on this thing is like trying to develop a psychological test to determine if you have dementia, and I am know concered I'm at risk. Every time I adjust any setting, it becomes comedy, as this 30-something tries to click around just to turn down the volume. It's a good monitor, but has curious flaws.

    Great colors, looks brilliant. Using for my workstation at home. Large enough to put multiple screens. Used it for some gaming and great response, no lag. Audio through the built in speakers are a bit soft, but can always use external ones if really wanted bigger booms during games....

    I decided to purchase this monitor after researching monitoring to add to my workstation. The colors of the monitor along with the 4K quality for a decent price. I am looking at adding another monitor later down the road. As a bonus the set up was so easy!

    I bought this monitor for my home/office and with the 4k resolution, it offers so much screen real estate. I work with my laptop closed, and connected to the monitor with a display port cable. The screen is very crisp and does not strain my eyes. It has a light sensor that adjusts the brightness of the screen, but (for better or worse) the adjustment is never too extreme. I really enjoy the monitor and would recommend it for gaming and/or boring stuff.

    I’m using this for my ps4 pro. It’s simple to set up and I have to say I’m very satisfied with my purchase. Picture is pretty dang good and the 1millisecond input lag has been game changing. I don’t regret my purchase one bit. Only thing I have to say can be annoying is the hdr comes on automatic with compatible games. With some games the colors can get a bit washed out. It’s a pain but you can turn off hdr on your console if it bothers you that much. Other than that it’s great.

    Being at home more required a new monitor and I recommend this. I kept my old monitor as a second screen and it is really cool set up but this Benq Does not hurt my eyes after hours of working on it.

    Got this when I got my Xbox One X. Looks amazing in 4k HDR mode. Easy to setup and just start playing. Only thing is I wish it was more than 60 hz but definitely a great value.

    Wonderful display quality and great response rate for gaming. Monitor HDR ability works better than Windows setting allowing this to be "off" in Windows but still allowing the benefits through an "emulated" mode on the monitor for amazing color depth in games that do not have independent HDR not connected to the setting in Windows. Highly recommend using DisplayPort 1.4 cable! Used HDMI and kept having the screen randomly go black. Replaced the HDMI cable with a DisplayPort 1.4 cable and have not had a problem since.
