Overview
The BenQ EW2880U is a 28-inch IPS monitor at 3840 × 2160, aimed at people who read, edit and multitask all day. It offers 4K UHD resolution, 157 ppi pixel density, 300 nits typical brightness, 1000:1 static contrast and 90% DCI-P3 coverage. The panel refreshes at 60 Hz, quotes 5 ms response and supports FreeSync. Inputs include 2× HDMI 2.0, 1× DisplayPort 1.4 and USB-C 60 W. The stand offers 100 mm of height adjustment and swivel. 2 × 3 W speakers are built in, and it weighs 7.9 kg with the stand. It suits people who value sharp text and detailed images. The main trade-off: capped at 60 Hz, so fast games will not feel as smooth.
