BenQ Intros the EW3270ZL Eye-Care Monitor

btarunr · Nov 30, 2016

BenQ introduced the EW3270ZL Eye-Care monitor. This 32-inch monitor features a native resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, with a design focus on being easy on the eyes. This include dynamic brightness adjustment that senses the ambient lighting; and a non-PWM method of adjusting brightness of the LED back-lighting (prevents micro-flickering). Under the hood is an AMVA+ panel with 10 bpc (1.07 billion colors) support.

Other key display features include 4 ms response time (GTG), 178°/178° viewing-angles, 300 cd/m² maximum brightness, native contrast ratio of 3,000:1 (static), and dynamic mega-contrast. The display takes input from HDMI 1.4 (native resolution at 30 Hz), DisplayPort 1.2 (native resolution at 60 Hz), and mini-DisplayPort (native resolution at 60 Hz). Other features include 2W stereo speakers. The stand allows basic tilt adjustments. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Why would it be 30Hz over HDMI, this isn't a 4K screen..?

I always loved the sharpness of VA panels over IPS.

Throw in 144hz and this could be my next gaming screen. Never want to go 4K since I can't afford to invest another $1000+ on GPU anyway.

Lose the speakers, add 144hz, and price around $900 and I'm game.

Looks like my old BL3200PT just with a worse stand.

Probably because HDMI is the same as DVI single link, and that would give you 30 Hs at 1440p.
It does say that it is a HDMI 1.4 interface, witch shuld be able to run 1440p at 60 hz, but guess its some cheap HDMI to DVI conversion going on in the screen itself.

I'm making a guess here but it's probably the 10bpc on WQHD that's too much for HDMI 1.4.

Throw in FreeSync, stretch to 21:9 and 40", bend it to 1000R, add HDR..... and i'm game also.
