1080p - great contrast - swivel base - adjustable height - tilt - ROTATE TO PORTRAIT!!!! - built in speakers - cable management bracket on the back side of base

No HDMI port, which is a pain because this monitor comes with built in speakers

Stand includes pivot capability (not mentioned in the product description) so you can use it in either portrait or landscape mode. (Windows handles that out of the box so you don't need any special drivers.) Very bright (too bright out of the box, I...

No DVI cable in the box. (A VGA cable is included.) The labeling of the controls is odd; when the monitor is pivoted for portrait mode the labels are upside down. The tilt range of the stand is limited. Windows deals with wallpaper badly when you have...

As a monitor for the kids it fits the bill. For the money its good. We have two now. No dead pixels. Colour reproduction is fine for them.

No HDMI but that would push up the cost and there are more expensive versions with HDMI. Not specific to this monitor but why do manufacturers still bundle a VGA cable? Most wont use them and for the rest they probably have one already. Couldn't most...

Easy set up. Easy on the eye. Will take a piggybacked computer.

No, but I bought another monitor at the same time which is whiter. The BenQ is easier on the eye because the whites are 'softer'. If you want glaringly bright whites there might be an adjustment to make.

For some reason I am getting subtle scan lines, this becomes apparent when you are playing games which have darker environment, it can be quite annoying. However, that may be just my monitor.

Literally Plug and Play on Win10. No need to load any drivers.

No

ITS easy to set up and looks the business not too big and is rather pleasing to the eye. I like the sharpness of the picture with super clarity.I have not looked at the instructions yet its so strait forward.

Well I did look at the 24 inch & got a little confused with inbuilt speakers which are on the larger model but alas not on the 21 inch. So be aware of this. I had some speakers so its sorted. My old Yusmart 21 inch has speakers fitted life is a...
