What customers say about "Display"
BenQ EX3501R Curved Gaming Monitor
- Single player games such as Odyssey are quite fantastic on this display.
- I seem to have received a very good VA panel.
- It makes games look a bit more realistic and youtube HDR video's especially look amazing.
- I have yet to test a 4k HDR bluray. Perfect image.
- Great fonts, scaling, brightness (either high or low) no bleed through on edges. Love love love this monitor!
Samsung C34F791 Curved LED Gaming Monitor
- The display has excellent constrast and colour reproduction.
- Rich deep colours and a display that is easy on the eye and not to painful on the wallet.
- The image is crisp and excellent, for a VA panel I think its on par with IPS displays.
- The brightness is also good, I tend to use it on around 40 during the day and bring it down at night.
- There are some images which cause the brightness or gamma of the monitor to change suddenly.

What customers say about "Features"
BenQ EX3501R Curved Gaming Monitor
- One of the main reasons I purchased this monitor is the HDR feature.
- With this wide monitor and with the capabilities of Windows and split screen features, its awesome.
- This monitor as the best all around features for the money.
- This is a very good monitor with many features.
- There are features to auto-adjust the monitor's brightness and color to surrounding conditions.
Samsung C34F791 Curved LED Gaming Monitor
- The menu - activated by a button behind the screen in the bottom right corner - is easy to navigate.
- VA panel and understand those features this monitor is an excellent representation of what you can currently buy.
- The OSD is a pretty standard, there's not much in there besides your basic monitor RGB calibration and a few extra features like PIP and PBP.
- It also adjusts the tilt- meaning colour shift is a big issue as not all desks are the same height.
- The monitor has VERY thin bezzles which run the perimeter of the display. On the edge there is this nice light glow effect.

What customers say about "Connectivity"
