SeekerBenQ EW3880R
The BenQ EW3880R is a great monitor for work and watching media, but it doesn’t work well for competitive gaming. It’s expensive, but a casual computer user who spends hours in front of a screen might find it worth it if they don’t need high technical performance or want to get more done at work.

The BenQ EW3880R is a well-designed and robust monitor with good colors and excellent sound. Unfortunately, it falls behind in what matters most: image quality. It offers nothing special in terms of SDR quality and can’t truly be considered to have any credible HDR quality either. For the niche market that enjoys good speakers with their monitor, it might be appealing. Otherwise, there are other options worth looking into first.
