We tested and reviewed the BenQ EL2870 4K HDR monitor.
Here are our thoughts about it and if you should buy it.
The stand is a bit blocky and may come off as cheap at first glance.
Overall, we like the design, though some may dislike the relatively thick bezels or the bulky stand.
And yes, the monitor does support actual HDR.
However, the brightness of only 300 cd/m2 is not exactly the best HDR solution around.
And why do you need it in a 60Hz monitor?
What is certain is that speakers should never be an essential factor when it comes to choosing a monitor.
Brightness Intelligence Plus
The Brightness Intelligence Plus Technology, abbreviated as B.I.
+, is a handy little feature that can be turned on with the press of a button.
What does it do?
Final Thoughts
Overall, the BenQ EL2870U is in a bit of an awkward spot.
Furthermore, the implementation of FreeSync is a bit lacking.
After all, it is not trying to be a cutting-edge monitor but a budget-friendly one.
