The BenQ EL2870U is a decent monitor overall. It performs well as a casual gaming monitor since it supports FreeSync and has excellent low input lag. Unfortunately, it doesn't look as good in a dark room, and although it supports HDR, there's little benefit to enabling it, and the narrow viewing angles make it a bit less versatile.

The BenQ EL2870U shines when watching movies or performing general computing. It's good for FreeSync gaming, but hardcore players will want something faster. Value-conscious buyers will have trouble finding something better. But if you're willing to pay for ultimate performance, look elsewhere.
