  • 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!

      @iamlegend68 3 года назад

      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.
