Software To Monitor Computer Usage

I purchased these specifically to monitor power usage in my home computer lab. I had to fight a little with the Kasa app to configure them, but once configured they have integrated perfectly with Prometheus to monitor power consumption, and with Home Assistant for remote control (without using Kasa's cloud-based app). I'm not a typical user, but these are working well for my needs.

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.

it is visually beautiful and provides more usage space on the computer desk

Easy to install. Software easily allows me to track both current and historical usage to make sure I will have capacity when I need it.

Very convenient. Turns itself on and off when the computer goes on and off, works well and no problems in 5 months usage.

Love the computer so far but never got the monitor.

Still light on the usage hours, but fantastic experience so far. Software is simple and useful, output is bright, diffuser is compact and simple.

Great software to start with. Does not make the computer slow.

Awesome software and it came free with the purchase of a computer

It's quite useful. Attached it to computer and monitor and it worked.
