At the same time, there is a trend to offer device displays that are less harsh to the eyes. Many smartphones now come with a ‘night mode’ or blue light filter mode that makes the screen appear warmer. Older BenQ monitors already offer Brightness Intelligence Technology that adjusts brightness automatically. It also has a Low Blue Light display mode to reduce fatigue. The EW2770QZ Eye-Care Monitor takes this a step further. The improved Brightness Intelligence Plus (B.I.+) automatically adjusts brightness and colour temperature. At times, it can get somewhat distracting seeing the screen adjust the white balance in real time, but we often take for granted on the little benefits that technology creates to achieve overall wellness to our lives.
The specs of the Eye-Care Monitor are not to be overlooked. The 2K QHD 27-inch monitor supports Rec. 709 and 100% sRGB colour space, 8-bit display. It comes with stereo speakers, two HDMI ports and one DisplayPort. The bezels on all four sides are thin so a multi-display setup will look more seamless. The on-screen display menu gives direct access to the preset display modes so that you can manually pick the best viewing experience based on the content – Reading, Theatre, Web, etc.
Verdict
Rating: 4/5
The BenQ Eye-Care Monitor is priced competitively and sports good specs for a 27-inch display. On top of that, it has the unique B.I.+ feature that adjusts colour temperature and brightness automatically, making this monitor is great for people (their eyes especially) who practically live their lives in front of the computer.
