As with most products, you’ve got pros and cons. And whilst there weren’t many cons here, our list of good and bad points are listed below to help you make a final decision on whether the BenQ GW2765HT 27-inch Monitor is the one for you.

The BenQ GW2765HT is the company's latest addition to its range of IPS displays, packing in a huge Quad HD resolution that'll make your full HD screen look paltry in comparison. It absolutely shines, with brilliant colour reproduction and vibrant tones...

For the price, there's not a whole lot to knock the GW2765HT for. Sure, the bezels are made up of a glossy black plastic and don't look that great, but you're going to be focused on the screen anyway. We weren't too fond of navigating the on-screen...

BenQ has crafted a brilliant Quad HD display that looks gorgeous, has tip-top build quality (although cheapish looking bezels) and costs less than £300 - it's practically a steal for a hefty 27-inch monitor, and you get plenty of resolution too. Unless...

I went from a standard LED to this, my first IPS panel, and the difference is... quite substantial. Very impressed so far. You do need a graphics card with a Display Port output to really make use of it, so a Geforce 970 at a minimum is what I would...

None so far. I understand the buttons are fiddly to use, but so far I've not felt the need to try them.

Great Value for Money. Great Image quality.

Easy set up.

No real bad points.

Great screen with good colour balance. Looks good for design work and is also fast enough for games.

There was no advice on the correct cable to use when setting up. My old DVI cable wasn't of the correct type and the image display was not nice, However when i used the supplied display port cable it worked perfectly.

Excellent picture quality on 2560x1440 (Note: on my graphics card the HDMI didn't output this resolution so I had to use a DVI Dual link cable instead) Different picture modes mean you can easily change to suit your current task PS3 looks good on it too

DVI Dual link was the only cable type not included Speakers are a little tinny sounding but adequate for most things

Did a huge amount of research on displays and chose this monitor because: Picture quality excellent Lag / smearing not noticeable even at the highest setting Great for games like COD, Doom, Vindictus etc 2k Resolution is great next step from HD without...

Design wise, this looks like something from ten years ago, bezel way too thick, but in the dark, who cares. Set up buttons are a bit fiddly, however, this is about standard for most monitors and definitely not a reason not to buy May need to crank the...
