    Scratch repair for computer monitors?

    I just had a USB cable swing down from the top of my desk and damage the monitor a bit, leaving a chip in the panel about as big as a small cluster of pixels. Does anyone know a way to repair this?

    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    I don't think it's the screen size. I'm having strain issues going from the BL3201PH/PT (a 32" monitor) to a XB271HK (a 27" monitor). I experience no strain on my other devices (iPad/SP4/etc), which are smaller, and I experience no fatigue looking at the large TV in the living room. I had...

    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    I experience these sorts of things with some monitors too. In fact, I was just about to post a thread about the XB271HK, as I'm having that problem with that monitor. Having owned the BL3201PH/PT, I personally did not experience this effect on that panel to an extreme degree. It does not...

    Choosing a good gaming/overall PLS/IPS

    PLS == IPS == AHVA, etc; These are a bit pricey, but they're you're best bet: ASUS ROG PG278Q ASUS ROG PG279Q Acer XB270HU Acer XB271HU ASUS MG279Q The first four are G-Sync, the last one is Freesync. However, the last one also has a bit of input lag, where as the first four do not.

    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    The graphical artifacts or the white uniformity shadow banding? There's poor white uniformity on the BL3201PH that results in like these shadowy lines going horizontally and vertically across the panel.

    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    I looked into it a bit more just now, and I'm fairly certain what we're experiencing here is the same banding effect found on the BL3200PT. In addition, the same problem is found on the Acer B326HK, which I suspect uses the same panel. I have horizontal and vertical banding that becomes apparent...

    What is your favorite PC game controller?

    By "PC game controller", I'm referring to any standard gamepad device that can be used to play games on PC by some way or another. Examples include the Xbox 360 pad, Dualshock 4, Xbox One controller, and so on. I own the Xbox One Elite controller. I must say, I dislike it quite a bit. It seems...

    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    Panel came back with a new controller board today. Fixed nothing. I've had around five of these now, so I feel comfortable in saying the following: -The intermittent graphical glitches that others have mentioned in this thread are a model-wide issue. Exchanging does nothing to alleviate the...

    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    Every panel that I've received has had poor white/gray uniformity. They've all had the "bruise" at the bottom middle of the screen as others have mentioned in the previous pages of this thread, and they've all had the shadowy lines. Basically, they suffer from the "dirty screen effect". I've...

    One from Newegg, two from Amazon, and the most recent from BenQ RMA. None have been free of the previously mentioned defects.

    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    Extremely bad luck, must be. Unless others are having similar issues and simply haven't noticed it yet. The lines have been on every unit I've received, as has the bruise at the bottom middle.

    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    Someone asked me about the dark, shadowy lines I mentioned observing on one of my BL3201PH/PT units a page or two back. I'm on my fourth unit now, and this one has the same issue as well. I'm not sure if it's normal or not, or if I'm nitpicking too hard. For a monitor in this price range...

    Can I check the status of my BenQ RMA?

    Hey guys. I sent in a BenQ BL3201PH after it developed dead pixels (in addition to preexisting issues) sometime around last Thursday. Though I know that it's going to take more time to repair or replace the unit, does anyone know if it's possible to track the progress of the RMA? I dropped it...
