Hello
totallydubbedHD, I just want to say, that PD2700Q has also 8 bit panel +2FRC, so it finnaly gives 10 bit color depth.

[giannisgavrilidhs]

nice video mate!
you should make comparison videos for 240hz, 144hz, IPS-gaming monitors, IPS vs TN vs VA no matter price...

The hotkey works until the computer is restarted. When rebooted, the port settings and image in Display Pilot are unchecked! anyone got the same ?

[mohitmojito]

Hey around 7:15 you mentioned you've seen gaming monitors that offer similar performance. Can you tell me which ones did you have in mind?

[woohoozzi]

Thank you so much for your clear, detailed reviews! I'd be curious for your take on my situation.

I'm totally torn on getting a BenQ PD2705Q vs a Lenovo Q27h-20. I do light video editing and graphic design but no intense color editing. I'm also a casual gamer, and I'll be using the monitor as a USB hub for my laptop (for mouse, keyboard, mic, etc.). I love the minimal aesthetic of the Lenovo Q27h-20 with no edges on any side, but the silver monitor color doesn't match my desk setup and the USBs would stick out the back rather than down. The BenQ PD2705Q ticks the opposites of all those points, but also doesn't have as many nits and my home office is in a pretty bright sun room.

I appreciate your time and energy.

is it better this or odissey G5 for mainly for office, plus casual gaming

[dmitrytotsamiyda]

Hi, thanks for the great video! Can you recommend this monitor for coding and surfing the web, considering I don't have a colorimeter? Is it worth even paying attention to color deviations in my case.

And another question - I would like kvm and USB-C, but but I can refuse them if the predecessor is really better. Does it make sense to abandon the old model in addition to cost and brightness?

[YKvids]

What Other Gaming monitors Match the color performance, you said in the video .

[freddymiguelponce]

First time in your channel. Great video! Can i use this monitor in a 2 monitors set up with the Mac Mini M1?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English i'm still learning
Have a Productive and Healthy day!

So no Hotkey Puck G2 included? Seems a major oversight.

Hi just subscribed, very impressed with your review (although some stuff went over my head, I'm old & a bit of a technophobe :-( ) so nice to get an honest opinion. I just wondered if you have done a review of Dell U2722DE Ethernet Monitor ? I would be editing photos mainly & general surfing.

[nemanjaness]

In terms of color accuracy, brightness and panel itself, is this better option than PD2500q?

[joedore]

Hi, Just watched your review, as I'm in the process of getting the PD2700Q, What calibration device would you recommend ? And do I really need one. I will mostly use the srgb color space.
Thank You

Hi Chris, thanks for the review. You said that BenQ PD2705Q and Dell U2721DE are near-identical for daily work, but what about graphic works? What the main differences and which one do you recommend? Thank a lot for your patience

[shahid]

Does it have KVM HotKey switch support?

[ianho]

Do you still recommend this monitor now in 2024? Consider buying one

[anujkumar-poik]

Which would you choose Asus proart 278qv or benq2705q

[subratkumarswain]

Which one is best this or Asus Pro art PA278QV

[ekphotography]

I suggest this to a friend and she says it is very opaque? Like there is no gloss to the screen at all. I never had one but suggested for her after reading reviews...? Is it normal? She was use to an iMac, not even 5K... Thanks for any suggestions!!
