The 32-Inch BenQ EW3280U monitor is a high performance screen with a stunning 4K UHD resolution that will look fantastic whether playing on your next gen console or hooked up to your PC.  4K monitors look stunning at the 32″ size will do it justice, just make sure you have a PC that is capable of powering it!  With great contrast, good connectivity options and blue light management this monitor should offer enough to get on your shortlist.

The EW3280U is a good all rounder with some features designed to support gaming and excellent image quality thanks to a 4K resolution and HDR support.  Let’s take a more detailed look at what’s on offer in the package.

Build Quality

The BenQ is an attractive looking monitor that will look good in a home or professional setting, the simple design is elegant and practical.  Thin bezels surround the screen with a thicker silver strip at the base.  The stand is slightly different from the norm with it’s large rectangular base providing solid support.  If this isn’t to your taste, it does include VESA 100×100 mounting.  The included stand only includes a tilt option so a monitor arm may be desirable if you need a greater range of movement.

Connectivity includes HDMI (2.0) and DisplayPort (1.4) sockets capable of delivering the badnwidth required to support 4K images from a console or PC.  In addition there is a USB C port, headphone socket and there are also built inthins sounding 2W speakers which won’t be replacing your surround sound system, but could be useful.

Performance

The EW3270U provides a lovely detailed vibrant image thanks to its stunning 4k resolution and HDR emulation.  The 3000:1 contrast ration coupled with 95% DCI-P3 color gamut allows 4K video to shine with accurate colour reproduction.  Games look sharp and detailed too, although remember you’ll need a decent modern day graphics card to run demanding games at this resolution.

The screen is limited to 60hz but that is not a surprise for a 4k screen, it also comes with FreeSync to ensure a smooth tear free image if your computer can’t always keep up with rendering 60 frames every second.

Eye care is a feature on this model if this is something that is important to you, it comes with built in eye care technology Brightness Intelligence + Technology (or BI+) to help manage eye strain over many hours of use.  This tech automatically adjusts the brightness and light levels to match appropriate levels for the current ambiant lighting in the room, and what you are doing with your computer at the time.

We give the BenQ EW3270U a 4.5 out of 5 rating. Want to know what existing owners of the monitor think? You can read real user reviews here.
