    Great review Brian, and for that price, sad that HD is set up the way it is, and probably with my setup, would need to order monitor arm mount for it. It's tempting though but a bit out of my price range for the moment. Still love the review.

    Come on guys, all the HDRi modes can be used without any auto-adjustement to the brightness from the moment that you turn the BI+ off. It took me several minutes to figure it out. But I couldn't help myself thinking "the dudes there at Benq make too good and well designed products to mess up on that practical feature... " => Turned BI+ off and boom, all the HDRi modes are now prrfectly usable + you still can adjust brightness and contrast, for 2 of themat least

      @@ayyjayy5018 I didn't try because I only used Display HDR which is the default HDR for this monitor and the rest of the HDR modes are Gimmicks in my opinion. They just give you a gimmick choice. I would just stay with display HDR which should not trigger the "i" feature. Besides the other 2 HDR modes are over saturated. The true problem of this monitor though is the backlight bleeding, which is the reason to why I had to return it.

    • @ams914
      @ams914 3 года назад

      I've owned it for a week now... you can't turn off auto dimming in "display HDR" mode, but you CAN in the other two HDR modes, and being as the profiles seem to be infinitely adjustable, it's easy enough to not use that mode and get the others the way you like, or turn off HDR altogether when it doesn't apply. I'm loving the monitor so far, none of the cons have come into play for me. Maybe I'm just lucky. The USB-C charger built in may be its best features. And the dedicated speakers are good enough for 90% of my media consumption on it. The way my desk is is set up, I don't need any height adjustment or swivel adjustment. Tilt is enough. At least for now. But in the future you can always buy a VESA compatible stand that adjusts however you want and mount the monitor onto that.
