Excellent

Very satisfied with this screen, as much by the quality of the panel as by the ergonomics of the whole. 250€ well placed. The panel is for : - the pixels (being able to display so many excel cells, what a joy, being able to display four PDFs perfectly readable despite the small size, what an ecstasy!) - the colour modes (photo editing, video editing with much more natural colours than on my previous screen, nice anti-blue light mode, nice movie mode) And the ergonomics is for the orientation of the screen in all directions (well it's true that the foot takes a certain amount of space, but for the guarantee of a good stability), and for the OSD and the touch buttons very practical to use. Information I missed when I bought it: The screen comes with a VGA cable (what are they getting rid of it for? --> 1080p max) and a DVI. No HDMI (1.4) or DisplayPort (1.2) cable. Dual 50cm 3.5mm audio jack included. The USB ports are not self-powered, so don't rely on them to charge anything without plugging the display into a USB socket on your PC (USB cable included, though).

Disappointed by Benq

I took this screen for the photo to calibrate the colours of my photos but the lines are very little fine, the backgrounds blurred; the videos have a very bad definition .. in short I missed my purchase it is far behind the Samsung that it should replace .. bad purchase .. I had believed in the reputation of Benq in the matter .. me wrong ..

        Good screen

        Good screen, RAS packaging, works well.
        Just the max resolution is 2560x1440 (I didn't pay attention to that) and the max vertical angle to which the screen can be lowered is not great.

        Very good value for money

        Bought for video editing, the WQHD resolution (2560 x 1440) is a real plus! It allows you to work in 4K or 1080P.

        It's well calibrated and I think (for an editor like me who does a bit of calibration) is more than enough to render very cleanly on digital without breaking the bank! Especially with the 100% sRGB and Rec. 709 colour space.

        It's very easy to adjust for height and tilt, which is very practical.

        If you're just starting out in graphics, photography or video, or if you don't have a big budget, I'd recommend this screen!

        Very very good screen

        I've been using it for 5 years for photo editing, with the display port cable, better than HDMI. The definition is a treat, sometimes the characters are a bit small on Lr or Ps. A user setting where you can play on many sliders. The display port software does not always reboot when you have several screens, so you have to do a reset.

        Very nice image, ergonomics to be reviewed

        Very good value for money display, with good image quality (very good colour rendering for amateur photo processing). The brightness adjustment range is correct.
        Ergonomics on the other hand is rather questionable, the OSD menu allows a large number of settings (including a range of colour presets), but in use some settings are rather laborious to select, notably because of the latency of the touch buttons.
        The main drawback of this screen is the slow video source selection. If automatic source selection is enabled, the screen takes 15-20 seconds to wake up. If it is disabled, it wakes up faster but manual source selection is very laborious.
        In conclusion: very good screen if you only use one video input, but avoid if you frequently switch between several sources.

        BENQ 24 "LED - Super Screen!

        Very happy with this investment which comes in complement of my monitor Eizo. Very satisfied with the rendering of the video in REC 709 as well as the colour SRGB photo, faithful to the current standard.

        Excellent, quite simply

        I was looking for a good IPS panel for photo editing and graphics.
        And I'm delighted! The colours are superb, the contrast is good and overall the screen looks good.

        Very good screen, especially for the price! 24" can be quite small in some cases.

        Having ordered 2 screens, only 1 came with the BenQ factory test paper. Nothing to worry about.
        Please note: The screens do not come with DisplayPort cables, so you have to order one. (avoid connecting it to hdmi or vga because of a loss of image quality, which is true for all computer screens)
        Another detail: the power cables are for European plugs and not Swiss, although the 2 screens were ordered on the Swiss site.

        So plan to buy 1 DisplayPort cable and 1 Swiss power cable.

        This screen is very well suited for using CAD software, although I would recommend 27" or even a bit larger. 24" however makes the pixels dense enough not to see. A very good improvement since 1080p, and 4k is totally useless anyway except for 60" screens so good.

        BenQ 24" LED - BL2420PT

        I am very pleased with this screen and am considering buying a second one. I have only one regret, that I did not order it earlier.
        I have to buy an HDMI cable in addition.

        I am delighted with this screen!

        This screen was recommended to me by a computer scientist and photographer friend. And rightly so: full connectivity (but the HDMI cable is not included), detailed user manual with adjustment software, matte screen, no reflection, and above all good image quality which makes photo editing easier.
        The quality/price ratio suits me well, not being a professional photographer.
        I almost forgot to say that the time between order and delivery was so short that it surprised me. I'm very pleased with the quality of the service and the price.

        Completely meets my expectations

        The screen is of good quality and the connectivity is well supplied. It provides a large working area in a reasonable space. The screen settings are also complete: height, viewing angle, orientation (portrait/landscape). The LDLC service was impeccable: very fast delivery and amount debited after shipping.

        A ready-to-use screen

        To start with, a thumbs up for the delivery service in short time. (5 days maximum to be delivered between 2 countries)

        The screen is an excellent compromise between quality and price for anyone who wants to buy a professional screen for audiovisual work. (I work in the field of animation)

        The ease of use and the simplicity with which you can access the settings and presets just left me on my ass.

        The only negative point I could find was simply the screen's connectivity and its stability. The only negative point I could find was simply the connectivity of the screen and its stability. I had some refresh rate problems with the DVI cable, which was quickly solved by buying an HDMI cable.

        In conclusion, a very good value for money product. The only complaint is that there are no more cable options when you buy this screen.

        very good

        Fast delivery.
        Screen well protected.
        Used for 1 month:
        Visual comfort. (office use)
        Possibility to adjust the screen. height, vertical and horizontal tilt.
        Effective touch button.
        Sensitive presence detector (can be adjusted)
        Relatively flat and heavy enough to stabilise the unit.

        I'll take another one.

        Very good value for money

        For a reasonable budget, this screen matches the WQHD resolution of my laptop and offers a good diagonal compared to the space available on my desk. Easy calibration with an x-rite i1Display Pro. Very comfortable to use. Of course, I still have the question... why is a VGA cable still included? Standard is a bit old.

        Quality at the lowest cost

        Impeccable reception, well protected screen.
        A real beast once assembled, the quality is there. I'm a 3D graphic designer, I hesitated for a long time to change my screen and this one with its 2k resolution, a colour rendering that is just right... I'm satisfied with the price/quality ratio.
        I already had the necessary cables so nothing to say about that.
        I'll see with time but I'm happy with the purchase.

        Excellent

        In relation to LDLC: nothing to declare, everything went well, even the delivery with Chronopost :^)

        I've been using it for a while now, but it's not a good idea to use it as a standalone device. The 1440p resolution is a real plus compared to the more classic 1080p for typing, the 24" diagonal is quite rare at this resolution but appreciable when you are close to your screens like me; it offers a good pixel density in addition to not being huge. However, I sometimes need to zoom in on certain web pages because the text is too small, something I never did before. So watch out for that.

        Minuses: comes with... a VGA cable? What year is this? My graphics card isn't young anymore and doesn't even have an output... It's a shame to have VGA cables to add to the ones already gathering dust in my wardrobe, and I think that those who need this connectivity today already have what they need at home :). There is also a DVI cable included. The high resolution will also make everything look big on a good old 1080p screen :).

        After asking for advice and doing some research, I chose this one for my first screen. I am delighted! I'm very pleased with the screen, it works perfectly for my work (photo software, 3D, layout) but also to connect my game console to it and it's perfect!

        Very good screen.
        You can clearly see the difference with a first price screen.
        height adjustable, rotatable. very good display.
        I recommend it.

        Incredible Quality

        Incredible quality for a 24-inch screen.
        With its generous connectivity, this screen brings a visual comfort that is essential nowadays.
        The QHD brings a support precision for who wants to make graphics or photo.

        Perfect

        This is the best monitor I've bought since monitors began.

        Positive points:

        - Better colours: the result is impressive on all games. I rediscover many games. The colours are beautiful.
        - Better fluidity: in games, no ghosting, no streaks, and it's smooth.
        - Better handling: you can put the screen in any position without having to worry about it.
        - Better settings panel: it's touch-sensitive and very intuitive.
        - Definitely the best value for money
        - This is my second BENQ monitor: I can confirm that this manufacturer is very good.
        - I forgot: no dead pixels

        Negative point :
        - Yes, 2K is good, it's better, that's for sure, but I really thought there was a world of difference compared to 1080p, but clearly not. I think only 4K brings something sensational and different.
        - It's subjective but it's harder to browse the internet with such a high resolution, even pointing with the mouse is more painful.

        The delivery was made 2 days after I paid at my home. Nothing to complain about. Perfect LDLC!

        Very good screen for graphics and games.
        As a graphic designer, I needed a quality screen that correctly reproduces colours. I am totally satisfied with this screen for the moment, the price/performance ratio seems excellent.
        I'll have to see in time if it keeps its promises or not.

        The screen was delivered in a relay point and there it was disastrous for the control of the package as well as the deplorable reception.

        Excellent value for money!

        I chose this model to replace my Dell U2410f. It's great. Great colour rendering and the QHD(2560*1440) on 24 is wonderful. There is a little clouding in the corners. But this is only visible on very rare occasions.
        The quality/price ratio is really very interesting compared to the equivalents offered by other brands such as Dell, iYama or Viewsonic, with prices around 350 euros on average, or even more.

        A 24 inch IPS panel with a QHD reso, all typed for computer graphics at this price, I have not found much better. I preferred to avoid AOC^^

        I recommend it to all the pros or enthusiasts who have to replace the monitor with a tight budget.

        The delivery went well. The package was sent to a relay point. No breakage. The delivery time was a bit long. The preparation of the order took almost 3 days.

        I'm very pleased with the service. Thank you LDLC.

        Excellent value for money

        I would first like to say that the delivery was extremely fast, ordered on Tuesday at 6pm and received on Friday at 11.30am, really great

        The positive points of this screen :

        -The 2k resolution on such a "small diagonal" offers a very pleasant number of ppi.

        -For 5ms response time I was very surprised I feel no discomfort for games

        -The colour quality is just amazing, it's much better than my iiyama from last year, I would buy Benq again without any problem (the blacks are deep)

        -I've been using it for a while now, but it's a great tool to help me get the most out of it.

        The negative points of the screen :

        -The size imposes you a problem, either you leave without zoom is so everything is extremely small or you put the zoom and the you will have the right to a very annoying blur.

        -The edges of the screen are very thick, it's a shame.

        -The screen takes too much space in depth, so for people with a desk with limited depth it can be annoying (about 17cm between my wall and the front of the screen)


        Conclusion :

        An excellent value for money, I don't regret my purchase at all
