Thunderbolt displays are great and incredibly flexible, but are generally overkill for users just looking for 4K. Ostensibly aimed at gamers, the BenQ EL2870U 4K display is an affordable 4K display with good video connectivity options.

BenQ well known for their professional gaming monitors, but not all of us are serious gamers and want something that offers superior multitasking and media consumption, but also can play casual games without a hitch.

Monitors are a dime a dozen these days. Ranging from your $50 run-of-the-mill basic monitor with a single VGA or DVI port to your top-of-the-line Ultra HD monitor with several HDMI and display ports, there's a monitor for everybody.

All these sound wonderful but should you get it It depends. I was using an Acer Predator XB271HU IPS gaming monitor with 144Hz refresh rate, 4ms response time, and G-Sync.

This is my first monitor for playing on the Xbox one x and it does not disappoint. Graphics are great and the hdr is easily adjustable. I love the eye savor mode, I can game over 12 hrs a day some sessions and my eyes aren't strained as with my old television.

It seems to work well, the colour is good, no dead pixels, brightness is good, sound is 'ok' (though I have an issue with a game that loses sound if the monitor powers off (sleep) then comes back on - no sound. I 'suspect it's the game and not the monitor - so not pointing the finger).

Monitor perfect on xbox ps4 pro a must by if you love gaming 10 star

Excellent monitor! i Upgraded from a 24" Benq senseye and wow! such a good picture running 4k now!

We enjoyed the EL2870U for both gaming and watching films and it performed as excellently, or maybe even better than the other Ultra HD screens that we've tested. We appreciated that it comes with a few unique extras such as the Brightness Intelligence Technology and the Low Blue Light Filter.
