Soft, hazy picture. I tried it with both watching TV and playing Black Ops. Just shitty. What a bad joke this thing is. I'm sending it back for a refund.

Not even close to my 10 year old Samsung LED. Not even close.

And the company doesn't even give you a remote control. So you can't adjust the volume unless you get up and start pushing buttons on the side of it.

Oh my God...

This is System Wars. It's the correct forum. It's a piece of hardware.

Out of curiosity, which BenQ Zowie are you talking about?

That's actually a pretty decent monitor. For the price at least, it's really not that expensive.
But it's still a TN panel with pretty aggressive anti-glare coating. Can't expect miracles.

Oh, and I have more bad news for you. The overdrive (AMA) is really poorly implemented on that monitor.
Off is bad. High is worse. Premium is unplayable.

@357mag: BenQ is excellent brand for monitors, if you feel the quality is poor maybe consult their customer support and try to RMA it.

I have had a BenQ GL2760H for 3 years and absolutely love it. Best monitor I have ever owned. Great refresh rate, crystal clear pictures.
