Crisp, vibrant image, Blue light blocking features, HDR features (if your video card supports them), Power supply is internal, so there's no ugly power brick, 3-year warranty
No vertical adjustment, can't move the monitor up or down, Off angle viewing not the best, No built-in USB ports
The BenQ EL2870U 28″ 4K eye-care monitor is a good option for a 4K monitor for everyday computer work and for gamers who have an AMD video card and want to take advantage of the FreeSync features. I loved the sharp text and vibrant colors of this monitor...

Fairly rich and natural colour output with good central gamma tracking and flexibility in the OSD, Reasonable static contrast in-line with expectations and no ‘IPS glow', Very low input lag and most pixel responses fast enough for a good 60Hz performance
Perceived saturation shifts due to TN panel technology. Not a particularly generous colour gamut, falling far short of the DCI-P3 near-term HDR goal, A bit of graininess from the screen surface, static contrast a bit below specified value and no local dim
Many manufacturers are now pushing HDR (High Dynamic Range) as a head-turning headline feature for displays. It is indeed an impressive technology when properly implemented and it's something users will often look for when selecting a monitor. As with all...

The monitor packs a lot of features in a sub-$500 pricetag, Monitor colors are crisp and vibrant, Performance during gaming will please any gamer
Speakers are a lot to be desired
I'll admit, this monitor was a hard review unit to box up and send back. I had become so used to how things looked on it, that I was reluctant to go back to my ultra-wide gaming monitor. From the crisp colors to the 27.9-inches of screen real estate this...

Impressive 4K resolution, HDR support for movies and games, Good response times
Muted colors and crushed black levels, Lacking in ergonomic adjustments, Mediocre speakers
The BenQ EL2870U offers a lot of great features for a relatively affordable price, but even for a sub-$500, 4K monitor, you may find it lacking. The flattened color quality and poor black levels put a damper on our enthusiasm for the monitor, even though...
The BenQ EL2870U shines when watching movies or performing general computing. It's good for FreeSync gaming, but hardcore players will want something faster. Value-conscious buyers will have trouble finding something better. But if you're willing to p...

Abstract: 4K 1ms monitors are popular among gamers because they are less blurry than their more expensive counterparts that have IPS or VA panels. This preference is also supported by the fact that 4K monitors are still limited to 60Hz, so every blur-reducing capab...

UHD (Ultra High Definition) resolution, Supports HDR content, Modest price, Very fast pixel response, Low input lag,
Mediocre color performance, Few ports, and poorly placed, Stand allows for tilt adjustment only
Budget-friendly and FreeSync-capable, the 28-inch EL2870U exhibits fast pixel response and minimal input lag that make fast-motion graphics a breeze, but it has some trouble with colors...

The BenQ EL2870U is an excellent all-around monitor if you discount the fact that it is being marketed as an HDR-ready display. TN technology has reached its limitations in contrast and vibrancy, making the product unable to reach the necessary qualities...

AMD FreeSync, Cheaper Than Competition, Minimalistic Design, Three-year warranty, Great All-Purpose Monitor, Good Packaging, 4K Resolution
TN Panel, Weak Built-In Speakers, Not Fully Adjustable Stand
