Benq Gaming Monitor Software

The BenQ is a great monitor and the calibrating software works really well with good instructions. It is a big investment but worth every cent!

I ordered this monitor on Saturday evening, Dec. 2, and received it in Bethesda, MD, early the following Monday morning. Well done, as usual, B&H Photo! I unpacked it and set it up, only to find that the proprietary BenQ Palette Master Ultimate software wouldn't recognize either the monitor or my colorimeter. You need the BenQ software to perform a hardware calibration. Other calibration software, even Calman's at $2000, will only perform a software calibration. I called BenQ tech support and was delighted to discover it's U.S.-based. I was not so delighted to have them tell me, however, that the problem with the software had arisen a few weeks ago, and they did not yet have a solution. The BenQ engineers thought a recent Windows update might have made changes that caused the problem. After a few calls, the BenQ tech support staff eventually escalated me to a BenQ technical support manager. She could not have been more diligent in working with me, and after a few days, she provided new drivers for my computer's USB serial computer. Miracle of miracles, that worked! But beware! It only worked when I attached the colorimeter to the side of the monitor via a USB-A port there and to the monitor to the computer via the BenQ-supplied USB-A to USB-B cable.  Palette Master Ultimate would not recognize the colorimeter if I used its native USB-C connection when connected to either the monitor or the computer. There were times early on when I thought I would have to pack up the monitor and send it back to B&H Photo, no small task because the monitor comes in an extraordinarily large box and its packaging is like a Rubik's cube. BenQ's tech support, however, did itself proud! The image quality of the monitor is outstanding, and with the software now working, I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

WoW! This replaces a 9 yo Dell color accurate monitor that is now failing. It was good in its day but BenQ SW240 blows it out of the water. I calibrated it with the i1Display Pro using the i1Profiler software and what I see on the screen is what I get after printing. BenQ's calibrating software is easy to use but I find the Profiler to be quite accurate. I purchased the monitor at a time when the shading hood was included but I think that is no longer the case. If you are shopping for a 24 color accurate monitor at a reasonable price then get this. The worst that happens is you can send it back if you don't like it but I doubt that's what you will do. It's a keeper!

Acquired this unit to replace an older smaller monitor for use in a non critical every day general use station [ email- word processing- bill paying etc and used by the grandchildren for gaming. This Benq fit the task ideally….. excellent picture quality – color- contrast clarity for its price range and the larger size is a pleasant upgrade. The gaming performance is a enjoyable surprise I have had very good luck with Benq products in the past and this unit appears to be no exception

I bought this to go from a BenQ monitor to my CPU. It seems to be doing the job!

Despite the hefty price tag, I gave it a try because I have had a BenQ Gaming monitors from long ago which lasted till now when I figured its time to upgrade to the newer techs. 165Hz and curvature really made gaming more immersive & oh man, the speakers were really a great addition. Hear for yourself, I never knew speakers would make such a difference in the overall gaming experience. It is premium in build from every angle....despite the price lol, but it's worth it I'd say

I got this on sale last year and so far this monitor has been great. Absolutely no issues so far and it looks great for both work and gaming. The LG software easily splits the screen 2, 3 or 4 ways.

from a gaming standpoint, this monitor has lived up to its name thunderbolt. the refresh rate and clarity software make it a truly awesome vision when paired with my nvidia graphics card.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my Samsung Ultrawide for IT/ Software development, gaming, web browsing, zoom calls, etc. This is my favorite display in my house and I have multiple 4k TVs. The picture is perfect. Gaming on this monitor is life changing. You feel like you are in the game. 240hz makes for the smoothest experience!! The infinity core lighting is a fun nice feature. I use the monitor with a gabbing pc and a work laptop. I wish the monitor detected and displayed the computer that is powered on.

BenQ is an industry leader and this monitor lives up to BenQ’s reputation
