Our take
The BenQ EL2870U is a straightforward 4K monitor that offers decent specs for the price. The 1ms response time is good for a 60Hz panel, and FreeSync helps reduce tearing. The TN panel means viewing angles aren't great, and colors won't pop like IPS or OLED. At 28 inches, 4K provides sharp details for desktop use and console gaming. Low blue light is a plus for long sessions. However, the 60Hz refresh rate is limiting for PC gaming, and the stand only offers tilt. For $178, it's a solid budget 4K monitor for productivity and casual gaming, but not for competitive play.
