Lately, there are indeed a lot of monitor brands that are starting to compete to be able to provide a much more comfortable gaming experience. The topic of 4K resolution, which was initially considered redundant, has now become a necessity because gaming hardware such as PCs and PS4s also really support this capability. So, no doubt many monitor brands are competing to bring 4k monitors with features that are worth it and compete. Will the BenQ 4K HDR Gaming Monitor be Worth it? lets see..
1. The appearance of the monitor itself
BenQ EW3270U is a 32-inch monitor with a panel size of 31.5 inches and supports resolutions up to 3840×2160 for full specs you can see below.
The outside of the monitor panel feels very spacious, with side bezels that are practically thin. Looking down there are 5 On Screen Display control buttons, there you can freely determine how your monitor settings are. There is one Power button to turn the monitor on or off. There is also one last button that makes the most important features of this monitor easier, namely, HDR and BI + hotkeys. One more thing that is quite unique, namely the sensor in front of the monitor which is located under the BenQ logo, this is useful for detect room brightness if later you want to set it automatically.
It looks like there are two stands that are one. rectangular shape with glossy finish This makes the EW3270U monitor quite different from its competitors in the market, which are usually circular or circular in shape. On the back, there is a fairly large BenQ logo, wide black plastic finish. The back of the bottom of this monitor to be nested EW3270U output port. There is 2 x HDMI 2.0, 1x Display Port 1.4, 1x USB Type-C (For Mac-book output), and one 3.5 audio jack to connect to other speakers or audio output devices. The main problem is with the monitor stands in this series, where you can only tilt up or face down, short height settings and rotation are completely locked on this monitor.
Your sales package also contains a manual and a CD Drive for optimizing the monitor with your PC.
2. Ready for Super Many Features
4K + VA Panels +31.5 inch Despite Thick Bazel
One of the selling points of this high-end EW3270U monitor is its 32-inch 4K resolution. Game performance is indeed the main thing on a PC, but aesthetic values and experience may be prioritized for PS4 or PS4 Pro gamers. The EW3270U is very worth it, apart from the 4K resolution that directly supports PS4, also because of the size 31.5 inch panels really very satisfying. Even splitting the monitor into 3 parts, it still feels big and very satisfying. Then go to the panel, where most people’s low-end monitors are still stuck on TN or IPS panels, at least that’s what I experienced. Unlike the two panels, the EW3270U uses a VA panel, where the image and contrast when watching movies or games are brighter.
Freesync support and 10 bit depth color
A decent feature is very crucial for gamers and users who are looking for entertainment, but in this review we haven’t been able to explore it in depth. Because it turns out that this feature requires an HDMI 2.0 cable, so it can detect 10 bits. So for those of you who want to experience this feature, first make sure that the HDMI cable you are using is HDMI 2.0.
HDR & BI+ Eye Care Unit That Pampers the Eyes
The main feature that really pampers users is BI +, Brightness Intelligence Plus adjusts monitor brightness settings based on the atmosphere of your room when operating the monitor. The black sensor under the monitor becomes a tool that will process the state of your room, so that automatically adjusts the brightness of the monitor you to avoid the inconvenience of the monitor light.
There is a technology they call Low Blue Light, where the system works to reduce blue light that makes eyes tired and other distractions. There are several profiles that match the activities you are currently working on, ranging from web surfing, multimedia, to reading. The drastic color changes of each profile are indeed quite helpful, moreover, the use of web surfing mode at night feels comfortable to the eyes.
HDR was indeed a hot topic for games at the end of 2018, how this technology can make games much more realistic, making many gamers willing to spend money to get this feature. This monitor facilitates not only features HDR but also the HDR hotkeys themselves on their monitor hotkeys. Press once to turn on HDR, press twice to turn on BI+ and so on repeatedly. For a comparison of the 4 images you can see the comparison below.
3. Absolutely the Best PS4 Gaming Monitor
We also tried the HDR and BI + features into the PS4 PRO game, namely Spider-Man (2018), the picture quality is very drastic, you can compare it below. Just plug in and go to PS4 settings, install automatic HDR, then you just have to play to enjoy the 4K HDR feature which feels very easy.
This monitor really feels made for console gamers, plus there is a built-in speaker make the gaming experience less complicated. This monitor itself has a view angle of up to 178 degrees, we tried watching movies on this monitor from the bottom, side, edge, top, no problem at all. Playing sports games plus watching friends is perfect for this monitor because the 32 inch screen is very wide. Another thing that is another advantage is that this monitor is quite good at blocking light or shadow reflections, because many ordinary monitors whose images will reflect reflections so that sometimes it feels annoying.
Spider-Man PS4
Trying out one of the best games in 2018, developed by Insomniac, this Spider-Man game looks very beautiful at 4k HDR resolution settings. Trying to compare all the features found the most suitable result was with HDR & BI + settings, these two features proved to be not a figment. The white color in the game doesn’t feel overly, the pictures and the atmosphere feel more cinematic.
God of War 2018 PS4
Game 2 is one of the most GOT Worthy games, namely God of War. Apart from the fact that the Athreus armor is more detailed, the HDR ON feature plus BI + ON really makes the image feel detailed and not too blue. You can see the comparison above.
4. Who is this opinion & monitor for?
The price of this monitor is indeed not cheap for me personally, but the price is arguably very worth it to get a monitor like this. With a price of 7.3 million you get a 4k resolution with a size of 32 inches which is very competitive. Hotkeys on HDR and the Brightnes Intelligence feature really really amazed me, you will feel that this monitor is like saying “i do my job” when you “you do your job”.
The not-thin bezels and the bulky-looking monitor make some users not compatible with this monitor, the monitor doesn’t feel futuristic. However, the glossy finish of the stand and the base of this monitor stand is sufficient to compensate for the design of this monitor.
How the effect of plug and play is really felt for PS4 players and there are 2 hdmi, making gamers more free to enjoy the day in their room. If you are bored playing just switch back to PC watching movies, bored again switch to hdmi 2 back to playing games, its so easy. How the combination of 4K and HDR that I used to often ignore, now makes me miss. Missing how the colors on this monitor feel so rich, miss seeing facial details in movies and PS, and miss the size of the monitor that goes hand in hand with the wide workspace, thus increasing performance while using this EW3270U monitor.
The EW3270U monitor is perfect for those of you who have a PS4 Pro and daily work spaces or entertainment. You who are a movie maniac can freely watch movies from any angle. Those of you who are satisfied with the super wide screen will definitely fit this monitor very well. Plus many features such as built in speakers and type-c slots, you will be spoiled with the plug & play concept.
