    Customers are mixed about the color of the monitor. Some mention that it has super defined dark colors, while others say that it lacks color.

    Display port cord malfunction?
    Edit: changing from 1 star to 4 star review, great monitor for gaming. Can't see any problems with it yet, but will change to 5 star if it can last a long time (only had it for half a year).Edit from 5/17/2021: This monitor has held up for 2 years and still going strong. If it breaks on me I will get it again, because this monitor is too good to give up. 5/5 stars nowI just received this product yesterday. The monitor and my PC apparently aren't making the connection, so despite using the display port given, I keep getting a no signal detected error and a black screen. I've also tried a DVI cord and it works, but it won't allow me to go past the 140hz option to a 240hz. My PC was self built and I didn't include a CD ROM insert feature, so I can't insert the CD that was provided along with the product. No big deal, it's 2019 right? Upon looking, there are no drivers that I could find on the manufacturer's website to help with my situation. The "drivers" on the support end of their website only offers security catalogs and set up info but no set up executable.I've troubleshot the whole day for this screen to work. I've tried power cycling the monitor and the PC, and I tried running it as a secondary and a primary monitor. Updated the drivers for my GPU and CPU, but it's a no go. The BenQ only shows up as a PNP. So far I've only had a black screen with the display port, and a 144hz screen with my DVI, when I paid the extra money for this monitor for the 240hz option. Tried a new DP and HDMI and still no luck. Even went through an exchange and got a new BenQ to try, but no. I guess I will be sending this monitor back for good.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Solid monitor—smooth for gaming—terrible factory settings.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2020
    I went from a 29:1 LG Monitor that was capped at 60hz. My current GPU can’t take advantage of the full 244hz yet. Even running this monitor at 144hz looks really good. I have only had it one day and I will update my rating as I use this monitor. So far, Destiny and FFXIV look extremely smooth. I’m excited to see improvements when I get a better GPU.

    Warning—the factory settings out of the box are GARBAGE. I was extremely worried when I first hooked up this monitor and I even said to my partner that I might have to return it. However, after some patient tweaking the colors and blacks finally look good. Don’t freak out if you plug it in and the colors are washed out and the blacks are pixelated—play with the settings before you make judgements.
