The monitor was packaged very well, arrived with no dead pixels or damage. Was a little tricky to set up, as my last monitor had the joy stick like control, but once I figured out what all the buttons did, it was pretty easy after that. The pros are as follows"
1. It has an ambient light sensor on it, so it goes dark when it's night, and gets bright when it's light.(I have a lamp next to it, and that does not trigger the screen to go bright)
2. For the size, 2560x1440 still looks just as good as it did on my 27" monitor.
3. There is a hole in the stand, close to where the cables plug in, making it easy to hide all of your cables.
4. My Xbox one x can now run up to 120hz, thanks to the freesync 2 on this baby.
5. Has a USB-C port on in, which if you own any of the new cards, one cable can do it all, audio, video, and data tranfer to the two usb ports at the bottom of the monitor. (Also see cons section)
Cons are as followed:
1. The displayport cable, is mini dp, to dp, which most people I know don't use.(Wish it come with the normal dp, or both)
2. It's hard to get to the ports on the bottom of the monitor, as the stand does not allow for height adjustment.
3. The USB-C port only allows up to 120mz, with a lower transfer rate to the 2 usb ports on the bottom of the monitor, as well as it only comes with a 3' usb-c to usb-c cable, so if your wanting to use that method, you will need to buy a longer one, if your computer is not close enough to the monitor.
4. It does not come with the ability to mount via vesa mount, you have to buy that separately.
All in all though, with the cons not being the end of the world, this is a great monitor at both size, resolution, new features, such as usb-c, freesync 2, and this monitor also works with G-Sync. The thin bezel, and the 1800R curve, make this a top monitor in it's price range. Rather your planing on hooking up gaming systems(you will need either speakers, or a wired headset with a 3.5mm connection) or a pc, this is the monitor to get.

I’m not sure if this is normal but when it’s all black I see blotches on the screen. It weird.. I’m going to contact benq about this but other than that when I’m actually playing a game the screen looks good. I’ll update my ratings after I talk to customer service. Although some reviews do talk about the blacks being super bad
UPDATE 2.0 so Amazon sent me another one because amazon is awesome, took out of the box hooked it up and bam! Those blotches or backscreen glows are close to non existent. I must have gotten just a bad screen. I’m 100% happy with my monitor now. Just bummed they don’t have speakers. It I’m never going to use them anyways.

Disappointing monitor with very poor colours, horrible backlight bleed and no VESA support
