Reviewer score 34%The BenQ EX2780Q is a good monitor for most uses. Its 1440p resolution delivers a detailed picture, and it has exceptionally low response time and input lag to provide a responsive gaming and desktop experience. However, its bad ergonomics make it difficult to adjust to your optimal viewing position, and dark room viewing isn't ideal due to its mediocre contrast ratio.

- Great viewing angles
- Excellent gray uniformity with no visible dirty screen effect
- Good reflection handling
- High refresh rate and support for FreeSync
Cons
- Mediocre contrast ratio
- Middling black uniformity
- No local dimming feature
