Disappointed with the BenQ RD280UG
Just got the BenQ RD280UG and I have mixed feelings about it.
The 120Hz refresh rate is genuinely great, everything feels super smooth and responsive. But outside of that, I honestly expected a lot more considering the price and the hype around it.
Compared to my old Huawei MateView 28”, the brightness on the BenQ feels surprisingly underwhelming. I keep trying to tweak the settings, but it feels like if I lower the contrast to get a more balanced image, I then can’t push the brightness enough to compensate. The overall picture just lacks the punch I was expecting.
What’s frustrating is that my older MateView actually looks better to me in a lot of situations, which I really wasn’t expecting from a newer “premium” monitor.
Also, this thing is absurdly heavy compared to the MateView.
Curious if anyone else here has had the same experience with the RD280U, or if there are settings I’m missing before I decide whether to keep it or return it.
