Pros: Looks great. I've been eyeing some 27" IPS panels for the last 3-4 months before jumping on this VA panel. This panel has better blacks than any of the IPS monitors I had been looking at and the input lag is very very low. Didn't take long to calibrate using the lagom.nl calibration site. Out of the box it's bright, contrast is too high and it's slightly red. Took about 3 minutes to fix.

Cons: As another reviewer mentioned you need to hook this monitor up via VGA before you can select any other inputs (hdmi or dvi). There is an "auto" button on the side that failed to auto detect a dvi or hdmi signal. I had to use the included (only includes a vga) vga cable to get into the menu and select hdmi input. Luckily my motherboard had a vga output because my video card does not. So I had to go into my bios, enable my built in Intel 4000 graphics, connect the vga cable to my motherboard, boot, use the OSD menu to select HDMI, and THEN reboot with the hdmi connected to my video card. Kind of a pain.

Overall Review: The OSD menu should really function without being hooked up to a computer to avoid the problem stated above. That, or the "Auto" button should actually do something. Haven't noticed any ghosting, and it has ZERO dead/stuck pixels. I didn't really notice the out of the box red hue until after I had calibrated it in User Mode and then switching back and forth between User and Standard to see the difference.

Pros: You get a lot of monitor for the money with the BenQ GW2750HM. I don't know of any other 27" of this quality that you can get for the price. The monitor is designed for 1080p resolution which is nice as it is one of the most common high definition formats. The glossy black look is very appealing and the OSD features are pretty good. Consistent with professional reviews, I have seen that the ghosting problem with VA screens like this is largely fixed via built in options like "Premium AMA." If you are a hardcore FPS gamer, you might want a TN screen with 120 Hertz, for moderate gamers and movie-watchers, this tiny bit of ghosting is not a concern. Oh, I almost forget to mention. The contrast ratios on this are phenomenal. After calibration of the monitor (Brightness all the way down to 14/100, Gamma 4, etc.) the contrast and vibrancy are mind-blowing for this class of monitor. After calibration the black-level is at 0.04cd/m2 which lets you feel the abyss of space during a HD astronomy show or appreciate the darkness during a movie night scene. Input lag at 6ms is lower than what you'll find with Dell Ultrasharp or really anything else. Anyhow, I know there are better monitors in existence, but at this price range, you won't find them.

Cons: As already mentioned, this monitor does not win in every single category. There is still a tiny bit of ghosting present, but it won't impact the vast majority of users. The default settings on this monitor are not good as you'll swear you are looking at the surface of the sun if you crank the brightness up all the way and some of the other settings are not really close to where they should be. The viewing angles are fantastic, but I would not call them 178 degrees horizontal and vertical. It seems like the image does change just a little at perhaps 45 degrees off perpendicular with vertical and horizontal viewing, but the image is still very usable for those that see it from that sort of an angle. I sort of wish the power cord was near the other input cords for the purposes of easier cable management, but this is a very trivial concern. One thing that annoyed me greatly was opening the box and finding just a very cheap VGA cable as an input cable. Not only was it just a VGA cable, but I swear that I could make a better cable with duct tape, wire breadties, and 7 minutes. This is like delivering a Ferrari to someone with the cheapest tires on it that you can possibly find. Sure, you can use it, and you can drive it, but it just feels wrong knowing that you are not able to experience it in all its glory. I can't remove an Egg for this though as I know a lot of monitors don't come with anything better than a VGA cable. So anyhow, make sure you get a DVI or HDMI cable if you order this. Oh yes, and if you ask me, a 27" monitor is the largest monitor you should ever get with 1080p resolution. If you get up close to the monitor, you can easily see every pixel that makes up the letters on your screen. If you activate ClearType or something comparable and stay at least 24" away from it, your text looks fine though. The OSD is very usable, but it is far from intuitive and far from perfect. You'll be hitting the "Enter" button when you should be hitting "Menu" and things of that nature. For me, I rarely play with the OSD, so I don't care. If you need to use it regularly, it might not have the best possible setup. The obnoxious purple startup screen makes you think that you'll see Barney the dinosaur on the next screen. Apparently, there is a secret menu to disable this if you are offended by your room turning obnoxiously purple for a few seconds.

Overall Review: My goal in buying this was to get a relatively inexpensive general purpose monitor for producing documents, watching movies, and moderate gaming from my office chair or a nearby couch. I valued the contrast ratios and having reasonable levels of lag and ghosting. Overall, I can say that at this price range I've fulfilled my needs (or wants) to the best degree that I can. This isn't the perfect monitor for everyone and every situation, but I would gladly recommend to most of the people I know. I suspect most people who buy this will be pretty happy.

Pros: -nice packaging -no dead pixels -very bright -sharp image

Cons: -if anything, speakers. i mean, they aren't bad if you're ok w/o subs. but let's be real here..are any of us really buying this for the built-in speakers?

Overall Review: i upgraded from a 19", so there's a HUGE difference both physically and visually. i've read on many forums that 27" isn't as sharp and isn't easy on the eyes since it's too big. well, after going through it myself, i can tell you that those claims are quite inaccurate. i think there's still terrific sharpness to images, and really, as long as your face isn't up against your monitor, there's really no 'additional' strain to the eyes. you may want to lower the brightness, though. because this monitor can go BRIGHT (which is technically a good thing). my conclusion is, unless you're EXTREMELY picky with visuals, and i mean, EXTREMELY. there's really no need to look any further. :)

Pros: Bought this 27" monitor to replace an older 23" I had for several years; a great display @ a great $$$ point: - colors are very vibrant - images are very crisp (especially for a 27" 1920x1080 - I could not afford to jump to the next nominal resolution level i.e. 2560 x 1440) - unit feels solid and looks well made (fit/function) - no dead pixels or display irregularities - a lot of "adjustment room" available regarding brightness/ contrast ranges (out of the box was too bright and slightly red but adjustments were easy to make and color/brightness/contrast/etc. are calibrated now & picture looks great) - HDMI (should be a given on a 27" monitor but too many out there lacked HDMI !) - wall mountable (vesa 100x100... again, should be standard but many units out there lack this in this price range) - speakers are fine for everyday office needs, youtube, news video feeds, etc. (if you are a gamer or audiophile you'll want an independent set of spkrs./subwf) - Newegg shipping rocked as usual!!!! Was free and arrived in 2 days!!! - price!!!

Cons: - speakers not very "deep" if you need a lot of bass - nothing has emerged so far (1 month of use)

Overall Review: Newegg is the best - in deals, in shipping, and in diverse stock! Keep it up guys!!!

Pros: I bought this Benq monitor purely for gaming. Gaming performance is my #1 criteria. Then screen panel quality. It measures at 6ms of very low input lag according to reviews. I paid less than what is advertised right now at the right time for a 27" gaming monitor. This delivers. Enough said The screen panel is great. Much better usual LCD monitors using cheap TN panels. This monitor uses a Vertical Alignment (AMVA to be precise) technology that beats low end panels such as TN panels cluttered in more than 90% of LCD monitors in the Computer tech industry. Aesthetics are satisfactory. The stand base is good.

Cons: Cons are minor. I don't like the aesthetics on the menu buttons. It is too close sitting together with one another and feels cheap as you press them. Out of the box, I had to decrease the brightness all the way low because it was too bright. Many companies do that by default. *Sigh* Ups delivery made me concerned as they shipped the monitor on a dent condition. Dents on the cardboard box corners, marks, etc. Think twice before using their service when dealing with electronics, they made me paranoid this morning. SMH

Overall Review: This is only my first impression on this quality monitor I received today. I will update more later on this first Benq purchase to help inform other buyers what they can expect. This monitor is also replacing a 27" Asus monitor I'm about to sell from 2 years ago. It is getting sold because it flickers a lot and that used to annoy the heck out of me. Everything else about that Asus was great especially for gaming. Aesthetics on that is much better than the Benq though on the design and buttons.

Pros: Excellent Picture Very light for a monitor its size Contrast ratio and screen uniformity very good corner to corner No backlight leaks in a black environment 0 pixel issues! Color clarity very good

Cons: For the price none

Overall Review: Saw no issues with gaming or HD movies; no ghosting or response issues at any speed.

Pros: Wow...this thing is freaking awesome! 27" monitors are massive... Take your time with it, get your display preferences setup...you won't be disappointed. Colors are bright, images are sharp and clear. Plenty of settings for whatever you need. The stand is solid. I feel confident in the stability of this monitor. The speakers are...well, monitor speakers...you aren't buying a monitor for audio :b

Cons: None so far, only had this going for 1 day. I'll update if I find something or it craps out

Overall Review: This monitor is legit.

Pros: Outstanding contrast, which is better than what is offered by any IPS panel. Can use the monitor far away because of the large pixels, so sharing with others is easier. Wider viewing angle range than TN. Clean-looking anti-glare coating that does a good job of blocking glare. Uses less power than CCFL panels. Low input lag and good pixel response. Overshoot isn't a problem with AMA. Good uniformity and clarity. True 8-bit color processing.

Cons: Backlight uses PWM. Does not handle wide-gamut content fully, because it is a standard gamut sRGB panel. Does not cover 100% of the sRGB color space. Higher-end IPS panels are a better option for very precise color work.

Overall Review: BenQ really improved the responsiveness of its A-MVA technology with this generation. The anti-glare coating is good. The contrast is outstanding. I like having the large dot pitch due to having 1080p resolution in a 27" format. It's nice because I have the monitor in my living room and don't have to sit right up close to it to use it.
