Today I unbox BenQ's EL2870U 4K HDR monitor! A 28" 4K @60Hz, HDR monitor with AMD Freesync, 1ms GTG response time and B.I. Plus Technology! In this video I'll unbox the monitor, set it up for the first time and give you my first impressions! I'll be posting my full review in the next month or so :)
Massive thank you to BenQ for sending this monitor out to me!

@@TonyAFC85 Hey bud, well it depends.. if ya like playing shooters this BenQ monitor wouldn't be that bad.. but beware, it's only a 9bit gamma and not true HDR.. if you like playing RPGs & action games or even watching movies I'd recommend the LG 27UK650.. more expensive but well worth the price, IPS 10bit color gamma ray with deeper blacks & strong greens.. you can watch a review for it on UKposts. Good luck bud.

@iamlegend68
@iamlegend68 3 роки тому
What do you mean ? The monitor has a 4K resolution and a 60hz refresh rate meaning FPS is capped to 60. The device you are planning to connect to the monitor needs to be capable to outputting 4K. For example, a PC game would need to support 4K resolution (which all the latest games do). FPS will be determined by the strength of your GPU.
