hey what's up world glad to see you guys back here once again now I don't know about you but usually when I buy a monetarist for one or two reasons either I'm buying a monitor to do my work on and I'm not really too worried about how super-high the specs are as long as it works and people concede it the working environment that's a cool monitor of that or I want a gaming monitor a gaming monitor that has all the crazy features on I mean it's got to have free sync it's gotta have juicing SuperDuper high fast hundred forty-four Hertz refresh rate you know all that good stuff those are my buying choices I don't know about you guys but now it's kind of interesting cuz BenQ is come out with a monitor that's not really made for either one it's kind of like in the middle area and it's totally geared for people who watch videos and watch movies that's right now I know so we were saying oh you know I just go on my TV and the living room and watch on my big screen and believe me I that was kind of Mike my first attitude as well but when I started thinking about it what about people though who are in college dorms or just in places where they don't have access to a giant TV screen but still they love to enjoy all of their movies and content and the absolute best environment that they can do it well that's where this brand-new BenQ monitor comes in now this is the e W 277 HDR now the HDR high dynamic range you guys are probably familiar with this it's the thing about how you're coloring your darkness and your contrast and all these things translate to the viewing that you're seeing a lot of TV companies have incorporated this technology in them because let's just face it it really does make kind of a difference in your TV viewing especially if you like stuff to be very bright very dark and everything just to be like really over-the-top I have to admit I like the way this monitor looks it's very clean and very elegant now some of the basic specs this is a 16 to 9 aspect ratio monitor features 8-bit color 27-inch screen it's a VA pal 1920 by 1080 maximum resolution featuring 178 degree viewing angle you can pretty much see the monitor no matter where you're standing with your right in front of it off to the side it's pretty much gonna look pretty clear now as far as the refresh rates go through fresh rate is that sixty Hertz now a lot of people may not notice this but like I said as a gamer when I'm using a monitor it has to be at least 144 Hertz or I just get headaches for watching movies and stuff like this 60 Hertz won't matter whatsoever looking through the specs we did discover that they were actually two different response times there's a 12 millisecond response time which is black white black and there's also a 4 millisecond which is gray to gray one thing you guys are gonna notice right off the bat about this particular model is it has a very small bezel it's almost not there at all honestly I think it's probably one of the smallest ones I've ever seen with that you'd have to kind of redesign technology to make the monitor be able to stay there because let's just face it that little bezel around the edge is probably what's helping holding your monitor in place the stand itself is also very nice and just looking at the monitor you gotta admit it does have kind of a nice little futuristic look to it now what gets kind of strange is here on the back of the monitor you have a single D sub and then two HDMI 2.0 ports and they really kind of say that you should use the cable that comes with that I think what they're saying is that you might have an HDMI you know older cable that's not 2.0 standard it might not work with the HDR so that's why they're saying to use their cable but if you do have an HDMI 2.0 cable you can use that as well not everybody out there likes to listen to headphones all the time nor do they have nice speakers in that case this particular monitor does have 2 2 watt speakers built in there's also a headphone jack if you want to listen your headphones it's there and a line in Jack from your computer to the monitor one of the particular features of this monitor is an ultra high contrast ratio of 3000 to one now this is three times the normal there's on a standard monitor and what this really translates to is that all your dark colors and all your light colors are just much more vibrant and much more defined one of the reasons that a lot of the monitors out there may not be so great for watching TV's and movies on it's because of their brightness not all monitors have great brightest and great separation this particular model actually has 33% more brightness on it than standard monitors now houses achieves the HDR technology with HDR technology you get 400 nits of brightness that's really really bright almost want to be going ah this next feature is something a little bit trippy now this particular monitor features a hundred of rec709 or 93% of dcpip three now what exactly this is to me what it means is that all the movies that are being made in America have a certain standard now when you watch these movies the color on these particular movies may not be accurate on other monitors but on these particular monitors like it said 100% with the first technology and with DCI p3 it's 93 percent so that really translate to all the movies that you're gonna be watching especially the ones that are made here in the United States you're gonna be able to get that color exactly how it was filmed most people out there know what g-sync and freesync is now this is the technology by both the big video car companies that makes your monitor flicker free and gaming you get no ghosting no flickers or anything like that now even though this particular monitor doesn't have those type of features built in it does feature flicker free technologies when you're looking at your monitor you're really not gonna see any flickering so watching your movies doing standard stuff all that stuff you're not gonna be a notice anything and get no eye strain on your eyes now as far as the tilt goes in this monitor it is very very mental only 5 to 15 degrees so you're not gonna be able to move this thing all over the place but do you really need to do you need a portrait monitor and all that stuff for something you're gonna be strictly watching TV and watching videos on I don't really think so do you visually speaking the monitor looks very very nice and with four different HDR settings you can pretty much find one that actually suits your needs perfectly so if you don't like it a certain color you like it to look a little bit different hey all you have to do is switch through these four different HDR modes and I'm sure you'll find something that'll suit your needs and changing through the different modes is very easily done by a button located on the bottom right hand side of the monitor and located right underneath the HDR button is the on-screen menu you can access all the different buttons very easily right underneath the monitor scroll through it and set it up to your desire okay so we play with this monitor for about a week checked it out and just got used to being around the house and some things I have to say about it are this obviously the way of design is like I said the beginning this is a very nicely designed monitor and all of your movies and all that stuff do look really good even gaming looks pretty cool the only thing I don't like about it for game like I said before it doesn't feature freesync or g-sync it doesn't really have a hat you know really fast refresh rate does that fast response time really this monitor is like really geared for people who want to watch movies and it really does that really well the whole thing is though how many people really out there only want to monitor for watching movies that's the thing and with a 60 you know with 60 Hertz is a refresh rate a lot of people are gonna be like so it's kind of got its own niche market plus the price on this monitor is like almost 300 bucks like two hundred and sixty bucks right now and I honestly feel that that's just way too much money for the specs that you get this particular monitor I mean there are monitors out there that even though they may not have you to the three times more contrast ratio the 33% more brightness and that you know DC i3p thing even though they don't have all those things built into them they'll still probably work for you and things will look really good I'm sure you could probably find a monitor out there for 140 dollars even though it doesn't have all these same specs it'll still be a 27-inch monitor that you can look at at 60 Hertz and do stuff so the price to me is the biggest biggest weight on this particular product if this product came in to market and about $199 you'd be seeing me with my thumbs up saying editor's choice you know but because it's not really a gaming monitor and it's so much money and such a niche market because how many people really are gonna buy a monitor just to watch TV and videos on I know there's a group out there obviously the air like I said before people are at home or at you know the house to school and stuff like that they don't have access to all this stuff those people it'll be pretty cool but honestly how many people is that really going to be I mean honestly at the end of the day so as far as the specs go and everything in this monitor it looks absolutely beautiful great colors you don't see any kind of screen tearing or anything when you're watching movies and stuff and the ability to change through all those different HDR modes I mean if you're a movie buff and you really care about the stuff let's just face it you know like anal about the color then I would think that you'd be really really impressed this monitor and hard-pressed to find one that'll actually play your movies with the same exact amount of clarity and detail so that's about it folks at the end of the day great specs high price like usual all this information will be down below like but you know what to do and hey if you're not subscribed hey please subscribe
