What customers say about "Features"
BenQ EL2870U 28-Inch 4K UHD Gaming Monitor with HDR
- The monitor features AMD FreeSync support (40-60Hz via both DisplayPort and HDMI) as well as a super resolution sharpening feature.
- BenQ's Brightness Intelligence Plus sensor which can adjust the brightness and color temperature of the display based on room conditions.
- On the front of the bezel next to the power button is a switch labeled HDR which controls the HDR mode as well as the Brightness Intelligence feature.
- The main issue is the "auto brightness" feature called BI+ (Brightness intelligence).
- I play Destiny 2. It does not work with HDR on this game.

What customers say about "Connectivity"
BenQ EL2870U 28-Inch 4K UHD Gaming Monitor with HDR
- These are connected to my PC via Display Port cables into an Nvidia GTX 1080 video card with updated drivers.
- The fact that this has two HDMI ports and a display port is a godsend. I can have my PlayStation 4 pro, Xbox one x, and pc connected to this thing.
- The included speakers are a really nice addition for a monitor that connects via HDMI.
- I Have also plugged in my PS4 via HDMI and configured it to HDR.
- 2 HDMI ports and a display port are nice, you can have multiple devices plugged in and it does a decent job switching automatically.
