- A: AnswerAdjusting screen brightness automatically (Bright Intelligence Plus) The built-in light sensor works with Bright Intelligence Plus technology to detect the ambient light, image brightness, contrast, and color temperature, and then balance the screen automatically. It helps keep image details as well as to reduce eye strain. To enable this function, press the B.I.+ key ( ) on the remote control (EW3280U only). Alternatively, go to Eye Care > B.I.+ (Bright Intelligence Plus) > ON. It takes a few seconds to complete the adjustment.

Excellent Monitor! Don't hesitate!
The display is incredible! The VESA mount made it easy to install on to a desk-mounted arm. The ability to use this monitor with both PCs and Apple Mac computers. The best thing is all the ports it has and how easy it was to setup and calibrate. I bought this as a gift for my husband. He is an incredible photographer and this monitor brings the true colors and subtle nuances to light. He loves the faster refresh rate.

4K, HDR, 10-Bit Color
This monitor offers a large 32-inch 4K IPS panel with true 10-bit color and HDR support. BenQ’s HDRi technology emulates an HDR look on non-HDR content and looks quite good in what I’ve sampled. Gamers who play first person shooters and fast paced action may be let down by the 60hz rating but I mostly play strategy and adventure games, so that’s not a concern for me. I wanted accurate colors without going completely overboard on a professional reference monitor, for video production. The BenQ has a lot to offer, especially given the growing prevalence of HDR content we will see in the near future. The built-in speakers are a welcome feature (as is the volume knob) that can cut down on desk clutter, and switching settings with the included remote really sell the idea that this is a multimedia entertainment monitor. BenQ gives you a molded remote holder that fits thoughtfully under the stand, so it’s easier to locate when needed. The stand adjustments may leave more to be desired, but you can mount this screen easily if you need more articulation. This monitor isn’t cheap, but I feel it is excellent in the areas of concern and adequate at worst elsewhere. Youtubers, media creators, console gamers who stream, or anyone who dabbles in a combination of those things may benefit most from the BenQ EW32OU.

Good monitor
I wanted a big 4k monitor and didn't want to spend a ton of money (although this one is not exactly cheap). I tried a different brand and it had some windowboxing compatibility issues with my computer and I had to return it. This one has an overscan setting so you can make a screen size adjustment. The picture is good and fairly bright. It has built in speakers, which is nice because it reduces clutter on your desk. The stand lets you make angle changes but it doesn't let you change the height. That doesn't bother me but it may cause ergonomics issues for some people.
