How we tested

These are budget– friendly displays, but they should still do a good job. We used a Datacolor Spyder5Elite colorimeter to check a number of factors, particularly color accuracy. On–screen controls are often difficult, so we explored making adjustments with these, and we also considered the range and ease–of–use of their physical adjustments.

Where image quality and precision is paramount and price isn’t an object, Eizo’s ColorEdge CS2420 is a great, if costly, option.

…OR LOWER? BENQ GW2480 BENQ.COM AROUND $200
