Product Description

L2870U brings HDR together with Brightness Intelligence Plus Technology (B. I. + Tech. ) to gently soften bright areas while keeping dark details crystal clear. EL2870U's simple hotkey switches between 4 levels of HDR and B. I. + modes to balance maximum contrast and vibrancy and fully enjoy the splendid image performance of HDR while maintaining your viewing comfort. The image has a faulty coloration - Go to Picture and Reset Color, and then choose YES to reset the color settings to the factory defaults. If the image is still not correct and the OSD also has faulty coloration, this means one of the three primary colors is missing in the signal input. Now check the signal cable connectors. If any pin is bent or broken off, please contact your dealer to get necessary support. The image is distorted, flashes or flickers- Read the instructions on the link "Adjusting the Screen Resolution" on the CD, and then select the correct resolution, refresh rate and make adjustments based on these instructions. The image is blurred- read the instructions on the link "Adjusting the Screen Resolution “on the CD, and then select the correct resolution, refresh rate and make adjustments based on these instructions. If a VGA extension cable is used, remove the extension cable for the test. Is the image now in focus? If not, optimize the image by working through the instructions in the "Adjusting the refresh rate" section on the link "Adjusting the Screen Resolution". It is normal for blurring to occur due to conduction losses in extension cables. You can minimize these losses by using an extension cable with better conduction quality or with a built-in booster.

How customer reviews and ratings work

I use this monitor primarily for color sensitive film graphics and VFX. For the price, the resolution is fantastic. However, there are two issues, I use it with my Mac so the text and other GUI interfaces are extremely small and hard to manipulate, and there is significant color banding/clipping no matter what settings are tweaked. It could be that I am missing something since BenQ are supposed to be one of the leaders in professional color science. This issue is coming up with both my computer using a DisplayPort connection and my PS4 through HDMI. Overall thought as I said, for the price, this is a good starter 4K monitor.

Took some time to get my settings the way I like and also be sure the placement is eye level when playing games in HDR. Otherwise seemed like a haze was on the screen, after placing up higher on my desk it's just as I was hoping for. Destiny 2 looks awesome

Great picture with caveats

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 10, 2022

Verified Purchase

The HDR and quality of the picture is pretty great, but as you can see I have what seems to be some screen burn, it’s just white patches that are visible whenever the screen is black. The picture was taken with the lights off. The viewing angles also aren’t the best on this monitor. For this amount of money, I don’t really enjoy the monitor.

Rough Start But Amazing Customer Service Saves The Day!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 25, 2018

UPDATE 1-3-19:
As mentioned below I had my monitor replaced by BenQ due to an HDR defect. They have some of the best customer service I have experienced in a long time. They helped me out very quickly and with no hassle at all. I've been using their new replacement monitor since my original review date and haven't had any issues. I cant confirm that the firmware was indeed updated and that this was the issue as the monitor does not list the firmware version anywhere for me to compare. The monitor does however work as desired and their 3 year warranty and amazing customer service has warranted me to change my review from 3 to 5 stars.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Read the reviews for this specific monitor, A significant number of people are having repetitive HDR issues.

I ordered the product because it had a great review rating, I didn’t even bother to look into them much but wish I would have now. overall my final view of this product is going to based on how BenQ deals with the situation and if the monitor i receive fixes my issues.

Had this monitor for 3 months before the issues started. During this time the monitor was pretty great, rich colors and great for gaming, very responsive. The colors were a little off especially with blacks which aren’t very deep. Other than that, the HDR and 4k were very nice, it was nothing much more or less than you’d expect for a $400 gaming monitor until I ran into this issue.

The issue came when I turned my monitor on one day and all of a sudden, all the colors that were in HDR mode were washed out and flat. After reading carefully on Amazon and in forums I noticed that a lot of people have this issue with this specific monitor. You don’t see it reflected as much in the reviews because all the BenQ product reviews are twitstered together. This means that the star rating and reviews you see for this product are not all actually for this product, its for all the twistered products together. I contacted Amazon about it and unfortunately as of late at least, their chat customer service is getting increasingly more difficult to deal with and far less helpful than they used to be, every person you talk to gives you different answers and reasons as to why they decided they cant help you. So I contacted BenQ instead and their customer service was pretty Amazing. They had a new monitor being shipped to me within minutes of me contacting them and the monitor has a 3 year warranty. Their service is very good, I was very surprised at how fast they were and how easy they were to work with. Andy L. in their service department was really great and his service changed my mind completely about wanting to keep this product or buy future BenQ products.

Ill update this post with any new information after I receive my monitor. BenQ told me that the HDR issue is most often caused by firmware which makes me feel a little better.

Works well for 4K, HDR gaming with Series S on a budget

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

I pretty much got this monitor so that I could get the full use out the capabilities of the Xbox Series S. Being that the console was only $300, I wasn’t looking to spend a lot on a new 4K monitor.
After looking into what is out there, I found that this Ben Q was the only one that had what I was looking for within the price range that I was willing to pay.
Got it on time, set up the stand, plugged in the Series S and lo and behold, after calibration, 4K, HDR gaming with 60hz refresh.
Speaking of HDR, when I tried on a game at first, it did look washed out like some reviews mention. To combat that problem, I went into my game settings and adjusted the HDR luminance to 300 to match the monitor’s capabilities and it cleared things up.

I’m pretty stoked about the difference that I’m seeing in my games (Resident Evil HD looks gorgeous) and the lag is almost non existent thanks to the refresh rate and using a wired controller.

The speakers are pretty weak but considering that I’m in a small room and I usually game with a headset, so that isn’t a big deal for me personally since its not that they aren’t quality, they’re just small and do exactly what speakers their size can do, lol. If you’re in a larger room or don’t like wearing a headset, IF you choose this monitor, consider throwing a small sound bar with it to make up for the lack of powerful sound.

Overall, for a budget priced gaming monitor, I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase. Being my second BenQ monitor, I would say I’m pretty happy with the manufacturer too!

The TN is a huge detriment

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 26, 2022

Verified Purchase

The IPS version rocks. It’s glorious.
But the TN has ghosting and weird artifacts, and limited HDR controls - and because it’s the cheaper option, it’s the one people are most likely to buy first, and it could sour them on the brand.
I upgraded to the IPS and I would give it a 5 star review. But the TN gets 3 stars and that’s the one I’m reviewing - and returning.

Picture quality sucks on side by side comparison.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on November 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

Is grey the new black? This looks like crap! I’m not very impressed with the colour depth at all and will most likely return this.

Also, this IS NOT an IPS monitor as some reviews may suggest. This is 100% TN, it says it in the specification disc that comes in the box. So why the heck does this monitor come up on a “4K IPS monitor” search?!?!

The size and build quality is nice, love the cosmetics on the stand. The speakers REALY SUCK, so don’t plan on using them.

Ps. I did not test it at 4k, I ran in 1080 on split screen with my Alienware laptop.

MUY BUEN MONITOR PARA JUGAR EN CONSOLAS ACTUALES

Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on June 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

Muy buen servicio de parte de Amazon México, la caja llegó en muy buen estado, el único detalle es que venía un poco maltratada, pero al abrirla, el monitor venía en perfecto estado y bien protegido.
Trataré de ser muy objetivo con el anáisis de este monitor Benq EL2870U, de acuerdo a mi experiencia, el monitor es muy bueno para jugar en consolas playstation 4 PRO o Xbox one X, ya que cuenta con resolución a 4k y HDR, la imágen se ve muy bien, se dice que si bien no incluye un HDR "real", la verdad es que sí notas la diferencia, hay que tomar en cuenta que este monitor tiene muy pocas opciones de configuración de imágen, sobre todo si juegas con las opciones de HDR activadas, en este modo, el monitor no permite cambiar ninguna configuración, es decir, solo podrás configurar la nitidez, pero nada mas, no es necesariamente malo, ya que prácticamente sólo conectas tu PS4 PRO y éste se encarga de ofrecer la mejor imágen automáticamente de acuerdo al juego, algo importante a considerar, es que el monitor sí tiene bocinas incluidas, pero mejor debieron quitarlas para bajar un poco más el costo, ya que la verdad prácticamente NO se escuchan nada bien, recomiendo unos audífonos o una barra de sonido, solo la conectas por medio de cable auxiliar y listo, te olvidas de problemas de audio.

El monitor es de 28", es LCD, panel TN (para mejor respuesta en los juegos), si tienes una consola Playstation 4 PRO o un Xbox one X, éste sería el monitor ideal, si no eres muy "delicado" o "exigente" con las opciones de personalización de imágen, es una excelente opción, un monitor que ofrece 4K y HDR a un precio más que excelente y con una relación precio-calidad más que aceptable, no te vas a arrepentir, claro, siempre y cuándo tengas en consideración lo que comentado anteriormente.

Me decepciono

Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on June 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

Tengo una macbook pro 2019 y tengo un monitor Thunderbolt Display 27" en la oficina. Mi idea es que al ser 4k podría tener una imagen superior, pero la tecnología LCD se ve muy opaca, es un problema estar ajustando el contraste y la nitidez para poder obtener imágenes claras en Outlook for Mac por ejemplo y en general todo esta o muy gris o muy sin vida. Por si fuera poco se ralentiza mucho al conectar ese monitor a pesar de usar la definición 2560 x 1440 que es la que me da el Thunderbolt.

En resumen, si tienen una Mac y están acostumbrados a los retina display o pantallas con IPS, este monitor no es para ustedes. Si por el contrario lo quieren para conectar una consola o una PC normal y quieren consumir ciertos contenidos multimedia, puede ser una opción.

Buen producto, pero comparado con la competencia en su rango de precio, es una BASURA TOTAL

Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on December 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

Compre este monitor más que nada por las buenas reseñas de la mayoría de los clientes.
Pero al probar el producto personalmente me di cuenta que era una mierd* literalmente, los colores son opacos y la luz blanca hace que se vea horrible en la oscuridadd, y el disque “HDR”, es una basura total, empeora las imágenes. Ni si quiera por el 4K se salva, ya que para oficina o multimedia es una basura.
Tal vez valga un poco la pena para consolas de videojuegos pero lo pensaría mucho gastar 7 mil pesos por un resultado mediocre.
Terminé devolviéndolo y comprando un LG UltraGear que es una maravilla, QHD, 144Hz, IPS, G-Sync, Free Sync, HDR10 (real), 350 nits de brillo, colores vividos y reales, etc...
Además con las consolas (PS4 Pro, Xbox One X) da el 4K nativo compatible en videojuegos y multimedia, solo me falta checarlo en PC.

Peor de lo que esperaba

Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on May 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

El monitor en términos generales parece que está bien porque realmente se ve bien por el 4k y las tecnologías extra que trae a comparación de otros monitores del mismo rango de precio. Deja mucho que desear en calidad de imagen, siendo el panel TN, los colores se ven demasiado opacos a comparación de otros monitores con panel VA. La tasa de refresco es de 60 Hz, lo que lo hace poco llamativo para los gamers.
Considero este monitor un catálogo de las tecnologías que nos ofrece Benq, pero no es bueno en ninguna de ellas.
