L'image est très bien, il a été reconnu de suite par mon système Windows 10 sans même un redémarrage de l'ordinateur. Le montage a été très simple, sans outils, et il est bien stable.
Ce modèle a une prise jack de sortie son, on peut y brancher un casque ou une enceinte (mais il n'y a pas de prise usb d'alimentation qui aurait été utile pour une enceinte, et le son est coupé quand l'écran passe en mode veille). Le mode d'emploi pdf en français et le driver sont fournis sur un CD, ça fait gagner du papier... Le CD propose une mire qui aide à régler l'écran si besoin. Et on a 3 boutons programmables en dessous (pour activer le low blue light, changer le contraste, le volume du son, etc au choix) mais qui ne sont pas très pratiques (voir ci dessous).
Quelques limites quand même :
- La résolution de 1920*1080 est fixe, ils déconseillent d'en choisir une autre dans le manuel d'utilisation à cause de la technologie LCD utilisée qui rendrait l'image floue
- Ce modèle n'a pas de prise DVI-D, mais deux prises HDMI et une VGA. Un connecteur HDMI et un connecteur VGA sont fournis (1m50 chacun). Bon, il existe de câbles d'adaptation si besoin, à acheter en plus
- Le pied permet une orientation de l'écran en le basculant vers l'avant ou l'arrière, mais il a une hauteur fixe un peu haute : le bas de l'écran est à 10cm au dessus de la table (12cm pour la partie éclairée utilisable de l'écran), vous devrez lever le nez si vous êtes presbyte
- Le mode d'emploi n'a pas été réactualisé avec les nouvelles versions de windows 10 et il faut chercher pour mettre le driver à jour car la procédure indiquée n'est pas bonne. On a deux versions du driver sur le CD, une spécifique pour le modèle et une générique pour windows 10, on ne sait pas laquelle choisir...
- Le low blue light assombrit assez notablement l'affichage. Bon point : Il y a plusieurs niveaux possibles. On l'active manuellement avec les boutons sous l'écran, mais même en le définissant comme bouton raccourci, il faut au moins 4 pressions sur les boutons pour l'activer ou le changer, ce qui n'est pas très pratique.
- La prise jack pour le son est à l'arrière, avec les connecteurs d'alimentation et de vidéo, pas pratique pour brancher un casque : il faut se lever et aller regarder derrière l'écran pour y accéder. Et il n'y a pas de prise usb d'alimentation pour une enceinte qu'on pourrait laisser à demeure.
- La taille d'écran est un peu grande pour un bureau : l’œil ne parvient plus à embrasser toute l'image. Du coup, je l'ai poussé plus loin, ça laisse de l'espace pour des papiers devant mais il faut que le bureau permette ce recul quand même. Donc à éviter sur bureau étroit !
Bref, mon avis est qu'il fait bien le boulot pour un écran d'utilisation courante en bureautique et vidéo pour pas trop cher à 110€. Les défauts ne sont pas bien graves pour l'utilisation que j'en ai et je le garde !
Mon utilisation principale est internet, multimédia et bureautique donc je n'avais pas besoin d'un écran très performant niveau réactivité, ne jouant que très occasionnellement...
J'ai fini par arrêter mon choix sur celui ci que j'ai finalement acheté...
Et franchement, je ne suis pas déçu...
L'image est belle, les couleurs plutôt respectées et j'ai à la fois une entrée DVI et une HDMI qui me permet de brancher mon PC en DVI et un boitier TNT en HDMI...
Les angles de vision sont très bons par rapport à mon ancien écran…
Cet écran inclut une fonction "Low blue light" censée diminuer l'émission de lumière bleue à certaines fréquences censées ne pas être bonne pour nos yeux... Cette fonction a plusieurs niveaux et perso, je la laisse en mode -50%… J'avais lu sur certains sites que cela avait tendance à jaunir l'image mais pour ma part, je ne constate rien de gênant (mais on est tous différents donc c'est un avis subjectif de ma part)...
Sinon le look est basique avec un pied rectangulaire mais cela me convient, n'étant pas un adepte des trucs design en matériel informatique...
Ce modèle d'écran est doté d'un haut parleur interne qui est de très piètre qualité mais comme je cherchais un écran et pas un haut parleur, cela ne me gène pas des masses vu que le son de mon pc passe par des enceintes... Il n'y a que le son de mon boitier TNT qui passe par ce haut parleur mais je regarde tellement peu la télé sur cet écran que ca passe malgré la médiocrité du son...
Cet écran n'est pas parfait mais vu mes besoins et le prix très contenu de cet écran, je choisis de lui mettre la note de 4,5 car il répond tout à fait à mes attentes.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?
An approximately 1.5 metre kettle power lead, the stand/mount (2 pieces), a VGA cable, a CD-ROM and of course the screen itself. The CD isn't of much importance unless you need drivers or wish to read a more detailed manual. Its contents can be found on BenQ's website. If the power lead is too short, you can buy an extension which will work out cheaper than buying a whole new lead. I would not recommend using VGA if you have an alternative, even if this involves buying a new cable, because it is an analogue signal and can be susceptible to noise, although your mileage may vary.
WILL IT WORK WITH _____?
Should do. The HDMI model supports HDCP 1.4 so it can be used with any HDMI device. This includes computers running any operating system, games consoles, DVD/Blu-Ray players and devices such as Chromecast. Of course, be sure your device has an HDMI or VGA port first. Some devices such as certain Android phones can work with it using the likes of micro USB to HDMI cables.
WHAT PORTS DOES IT HAVE?
There is a lot of confusion about this, particularly surrounding the audio jack in Amazon's questions section. The fact that all models are lumped under the same page is the root of this. Here I'll list each model by their model number, and in brackets what Amazon refers to them by, and what inputs/outputs it has.
GW2270 (DVI) - DVI, VGA
GW2270H / GW2470H (HDMI) - HDMI×2, VGA, 3.5mm OUT
GW2270HM / GW2470HM (HDMI and speakers) - HDMI, DVI, VGA, 3.5mm IN
IS THE PICTURE NICE?
Looks good to me. Not sure how to compare it, but it is sharp and colourful. There is a little bit of blur when things are moving on the screen. Generally this is no big deal, but for some people it will be noticeable, especially with dark scenes in video games. It's a matte screen, and while it does still reflect some light, it's much better than glossy. The black level is about what you'd expect.
WHAT ARE THE SPEAKERS LIKE?
My model doesn't have speakers (only the GW2270HM and GW2470HM do), so I can't really comment. But I hear they are not very good at all. If you get the GW2270H, you can plug in external speakers which I bet will sound much better. The base of the stand is perfect for sitting one of those cuboid-shaped speakers (the typical Bluetooth ones you get) on. Larger speakers will have to be placed either side of the monitor.
CAN I ADJUST THE MONITOR HEIGHT ETC?
You can sit the monitor on some old books if you need to position it higher. Other than that the answer is no. But what you can do is adjust the vertical angle of the screen. I believe you can angle it 5° downwards and 20° upwards. I'm not sure where I read this but it seems to be true. You should also be able to mount it on a different stand if you have one that is suitable.
IS IT CHUNKY?
It's not super slim, but I don't see what difference it makes. The edges are slim though, so it's easy to carry, and it gets a little fatter at the back near the middle. I assume this is for ventilation (it doesn't heat up at all, but I've not had the brightness cranked up) and also because it doesn't have a power brick, so any conversion from mains power must be taking place inside the monitor.
WHAT IS THE VIEWING ANGLE LIKE?
The picture washes out when viewed at an angle, but for ordinary use it is absolutely fine and swinging around in your chair won't cause it to wash out. You have to get out of your chair to reach the angle at which it washes out. Just don't expect to get the whole family huddled around it and experience a perfect picture.
WHAT IS THE LOW-BLUE MODE LIKE?
I've not really used it since colour accuracy is more important to me, but if you're doing a lot of reading and document work it may be handy to reduce eye strain, or to reduce the impact the blue light may have on suppressing melatonin production in the evening and night. Enabling it gives you a warmer picture, which actually still looks perfectly fine.
WHAT IS THE ANTI-FLICKER LIKE?
I haven't noticed any flicker with the monitor, so it's clearly working! But I've not noticed any flicker on any other LCD monitor either, so take that as you will. It's supposed to reduce headaches or something - I'm not sure I buy into it much.
WHAT ARE THE MENUS LIKE?
A bit better than the standard. You can customise three of the buttons to quickly access certain menus. I sometimes find myself accidentally pressing the power button though.
WHAT RESOLUTIONS AND REFRESH RATES DOES IT SUPPORT?

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONNECT A DEVICE THAT DOESN'T DO VGA/DVI/HDMI?
Not directly, but you can convert common cables such as composite, S-Video, SCART and component to HDMI using various products you can buy online. If you have a DVD recorder laying around, these often have analogue inputs and an HDMI output. But do keep in mind the following two sections.
DOES IT WORK WELL WITH A NON-WIDESCREEN SIGNAL?
You can configure the monitor to display non-widescreen signals either at their native aspect ratio or stretched to widescreen. But do be aware that standard definition video from devices such as DVD players uses non-square pixels, so 4:3 content from them will be incorrectly displayed at 5:4 for PAL and 3:2 for NTSC.
HOW DOES IT HANDLE INTERLACED VIDEO?
Not very well. You can feed it a 1080i, 576i or 480i signal and it will accept it, though the picture will be degraded. I would advise browsing for televisions if you need to display interlaced video since they generally do a much better job at deinterlacing than computer monitors. For most people this won't be an issue though, as practically all HDMI devices offer progressive display modes.
WHAT COLOUR FORMATS DOES IT SUPPORT?
It seemed to work with what I threw at it, which was RGB and YCbCr. It supports both the Limited and Full RGB ranges - see more on this in the final section.
WHAT IS AMA?
Looks like you've already bought the monitor if you're asking this. It's a BenQ thing ("Advanced Motion Acceleration") and increases response times, reducing blur and ghosting on moving objects. I suggest leaving it on the default of High. You can't get rid of all blur, but it definitely looks nicer than having it set to Off. The Premium setting doesn't improve things and is only worth considering if you play video games at a highly competitive level, in which case you're probably using a more expensive monitor anyway.
ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW?
Yes.
When using HDMI, you are likely dealing with an RGB signal. This can be in the Limited range (16-235) or the Full range (0-255). By default, the monitor uses Limited, and by default by laptop used Limited. On Linux I used the “xrandr --output HDMI-1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"” command to set it to Full (this resets on startup). For Windows and Mac I am uncertain what you do and what your default might be. I have attached an image to this review you can use to test if your screen is configured correctly for if you use an HDMI signal. 0 and 16 and 240 and 255 should be noticeably different shades. If you are passing the test but the colours are dull, your computer is outputting Limited and your monitor is set to Full. What's important is that both your computer (or other device) and monitor are using the same range, although if you can configure them both to use Full rather than both use Limited, that would be preferred. On this monitor you can go to Settings -> Picture Advanced -> HDMI RGB PC Range to configure what it expects to receive.
If you plan to watch UK television on this monitor from your computer, you can benefit from its 50Hz support and get a smoother picture than if you used 60Hz. This includes movies on BBC iPlayer and PAL DVDs. Movies on Netflix and other services will be at their original 23.976fps and are best viewed at 60Hz on this monitor (it doesn't support 24Hz).
If you're trying a dual monitor setup for the first time, problems such as screen tearing might be introduced. This is not the monitor's fault and should be fixable by hunting around online and seeing what works for your hardware. But I'm on Linux which is rather notorious for these sorts of issues, so for Windows users I'd say you may stand a better chance at everything going smoothly. If not, try the drivers provided.

This includes movies on BBC iPlayer and PAL DVDs. Movies on Netflix and other services will be at their original 23.976fps and are best viewed at 60Hz on this monitor (it doesn't support 24Hz).
If you're trying a dual monitor setup for the first time, problems such as screen tearing might be introduced. This is not the monitor's fault and should be fixable by hunting around online and seeing what works for your hardware. But I'm on Linux which is rather notorious for these sorts of issues, so for Windows users I'd say you may stand a better chance at everything going smoothly. If not, try the drivers provided.
A bonus which you don't see much on cheaper monitors is having 2 HDMI ports, I was surprised but pleased as it meant no adaptors were required and I could plug both PC and Mac straight in. It also switches automatically between ports which is helpful (turn it on in the menu). If you have two machines plugged in and switched on though you need to make the changes manually, that is expected, the monitors won't know what you want to see.
There are no speakers built in and there was no HDMI cable in the box, just VGA so make sure you have or order an HDMI cable if you need one. The menu is easy to work, better than my older Benq's.
So if you are looking for something cheap with good 1080p Full HD quality you will struggle to find better. I noticed some reviewers criticized build quality stating it was all plastic. What you going to do? Throw them around? Once they are on the desk or as in my case mounted to the wall there is no need to touch them other than to switch on and off...

The menus can be tricky to navigate however and take a bit of getting used to, but once you figure out how they have done it (the buttons are used as arrows) you can zip through the menus easily.
For the price, for general PC use like browsing, editing videos etc the monitor performs fine. Gaming is also more than possible with this monitor if you are on a budget but you may need to alter the colours on the monitor itself as the "Game" mode throws the colour range into a very cool temperature which I found was odd.
At a listed price (as of typing this) at £103... its a decent buy for people on a budget. BenQ GW2470HL 23.8-Inch Full HD 1080p LED Eye-Care Monitor - Black
I bought two with the view of connecting both to a laptop via a single HDMI port. However, only after having received them and connected them, it came to light that this is not supported by the monitors as the two HDMI ports are input only. The product description did not provide any indication this fact.
Benq support was helpful and volunteered the information that the HDMI ports are only input and does not support "daisy chain connections".
Thankfully I found an inexpensive workaround.
Reading the product description is refers to the integrated speakers.
The item arrived,NO INTEGRATED SPEAKERS.Spoke to Amazon tech to be told to read the product description again.
It refers to another model which has the same seven digits but a two digit suffix difference.The reason the search found it was due to the mis leading product description.
Why describe a different product.
Amazon realised the confusion and gave an immediate 're fund however I have to endure the time wasted in setting up and having now returned it without compensation for a mis leading description
