beautiful monitor, has everything I wanted usb,c great contrast HDR vesa . I did a ton of comparisons and read more product specs for weeks and I settled on the Asus PA279cv pro art monitor. then this one was released it has the same specs as the Asus for almost 200 cheaper. it only comes in white but its actually a lite grey its a nice color (think first gen play station or Nintendo its that color. its beautiful 4K I'm a Zbrush and all other forms of art artist. I'm not a gamer so 60hz is good for me. it has more connection options ports than the Asus . its a modern brand new model so it has what you need , I did play a movie on it just for testing purpose it loos great I have it paired with a 22 art pro XP-Pen tablet

*1 Month Update*So after adjusting settings in windows I have to admit this monitor is absolutely beautiful! The auto dimming is "Dynamic Contrast" and I was able to turn it off in Windows Registry Editor. After that and pairing this with a 2080 TI..... WOW!The monitor has been great and given me no problems whatsoever. Beautiful picture, IPS and compatible with Nvidia GSync (Even though its not certified) I can report it DOES work and works great. Right now as of June 2020 you wo t find a better monitor than this for the price. I highly recommend this monitor.I love 4K monitors and that's all I've owned for the past few years. I actually switched from my AW3418DW (Tried 1440P ultrawide for a year) to this for the 4K and "HDR". I was super excited about getting this monitor. I set it up and was immediately super impressed with the picture quality. Set Windows 10 to HDR and set the monitor to HDR and fired up a video. Colors really POP, but I noticed the screen kept getting dimmer and brighter on its own. No settings in windows were on for adaptive lighting. So I went into the monitor settings and when HDR is on none of the settings can be adjusted, no brightness, no contrast or the adaptive lighting. Only sharpness can be adjusted. If HDR is turned off (Whats the point of getting a HDR monitor if its off) the colors are very off and looks horrible with the "Simulated HDR" that comes on. After hours of looking and reading the entire BENQ manual its doing this because of the Ambient Light Sensor built into the bottom of the monitor. There is no way to turn it off when in HDR Mode. This does this when gaming as well. So i fired up a few games (YES This monitor is GSYNC COMPATIBLE) AC Odyssey won't recognize this as a "True HDR* monitor but Forza 4 will. It looks absolutely beautiful when you 1st switch one of the 3 HDR modes on but after a few seconds that Ambient light sensor kicks in and messes with the brightness and makes the picture dark. It goes back and forth and its highly noticeable. I will call BENQ and see if there is a fix but I've spent hours messing with settings to no fix. Overall the picture is amazing, colors are bright, viewing angles are great and the build is superb. The color of the monitor is actually very pleasing too. The speakers actually sound quite nice as well. Overall its very nice, a bit expensive and I wish they made a cheaper version without speakers. I will wait to see what BENQ says but if it continues to get brighter and dimmer when watching YouTube or playing a game I will unfortunately have to return and find myself another 32" 4K IPS display.-PROS-Beautiful IPS Display.-Has FreeSync and works with Nvidia GSync.-Out of the box the colors are amazing.-Has built-in speakers that actually sound quite good.-Has support for 100x100 VESA Mount.-Framless design and monitor outer color (Reddish Copper) is very appealing.-Deep Black's-HDR 400 with 3 HDR Modes.-CONS-Only 60hz (Dont bother me) and if your not playing competitive FPS shooters its not noticeable.-Stand has no adjustments (But I have mine on a monitor arm)- BENQs HDR modes aren't that great. (Display HDR is the best)-Not curvedThats pretty much it. I looked for about a week before deciding on a monitor. Ive had ma y 32" 4K monitors and this one is by gar my favorite. If you are even thinking about this monitor I highly suggest you get it. When i had questions about the dimming, I called BENQ and a live person answered the phone and helped me fix it. When asking about the warranty I was informed I could send it in to BENQ and they would send me a new replacement.

The monitor is very nice, I wish it had more USB-C ports (there is 1 port for video input, and one 15W charger). The speakers were an expected disappointment, with hardly any bass. The worst is that the included USB-C video cable is very cheap and stiff, and requires an immediate replacement. Instructions on pass-through daisy chaining of other monitors is not adequate, but I haven't found a monitor which is clear on this to begin with. The USB-C video cable will charge a laptop with adequate current, so the promise of a two cable desktop (only one power cord for both monitor and laptop, and one video cord) is achieved, very nice.The remote control is a very nice feature, which relieves the user of using the buttons on the bottom of the unit to make adjustments for the most part (though those buttons including the joystick central button are good).The top left remote button permits selection of any one of the 4 video sources very easy (USB-C, or HDMI 1, 2, or 3), but won't recognize a pc that is in sleep mode, so you have to tap on the mouse or keyboard to accept the switch in video feed. Once you figure this out, it isn't so bad.The audio modes lack definition, but there is a User defined mode where you can try to increase the bass (only 5 channels).The USB-C configuration is defaulted to USB 2.0, you have to select USB 3.2, strange choice.All in all, this monitor with active video source switching really cleans up a desktop if you have a work and a personal PC. One less monitor, one less keyboard, one less mouse.
