In terms of the picture quality, it only takes a few moments of adjustment to get the high-quality display that you're advertised. It comes with a small remote that hooks into a USB port on the monitor and allows you to switch between profiles on the fly. On my previous monitor, I was working with Kvoraak's Aim Trainer and found my perfect sensitivity. Moving to a significantly bigger monitor, I was able to keep that sensitivity, so that was nice. The 1920x1080 resolution and size helps to make games feel bigger and more immersive and it's great at my job as well. I work as a tech support and the quality of life difference this monitor makes is huge.
Also, in terms of gaming, you not only notice the 240hz refresh rate but also the black equalizer. As soon as I bought this monitor, I hopped into a game of Rainbow Six (which I'm usually not very good at) and dropped a 9 kill game, then I finished out as MVP. And I never do that -- I'm usually 0-4 and I started gaming on PC like several months ago after being a lifetime console guy! I do believe this monitor makes a noticeable impact on your performance and it's REALLY easy to see people in dark spaces and weird angles (trust me, you learn this in R6 more than any other game).
Overall, I'm incredibly happy with this thing and wouldn't trade it for the world.
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2019
I've also seen some people complain about the stock color...... Just change the picture mode to standard. For some reason it comes sent on a weird picture setting. Probably should change that up BenQ.
Another thing is that I'm a huge fan of simple looking, yet clean products. This monitor is exactly that. No fancy bs. Just clean and straight business.
I fully recommend this monitor if you're looking for a future proof monitor as of now. I couldn't care less about 4k gaming. Give me 1080p and those delicious frames.

Great monitor, worth the money in my opinion, and great support to assist your needs. Cons are that it is a bit pricey compared to other monitors but the picture quality is unparalleled.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
September/October 2019: The monitor is great, unfortunately mine shipped with a dead pixel in the center of the screen and it is very annoying as it is a very expensive monitor and i haven't had this happen before.
I have contacted BenQ support and hopefully they can replace it for me, I have had life events occur after I purchased the monitor and haven't been able to test it until the last week, hopefully they will honor my warranty claim as the products are great and made of quality, unfortunately I received a lemon....
