The first graphic design monitor I bought from Benq had a busted image processor so that you couldn't turn off the sharpening - only set it to -5% (blurry) or +5%. Eventually I complained enough that they sent me a different monitor that didn't have the problem.

I've had bad experiences with some of Dell's pro-grade monitors too. It feels like modern displays are so complex firmware and hardware wise that it's just very hard to find one that isn't defective in some way. This replacement Benq works for basic uses but its freesync is broken and it's already developed burn-in around the edges after about 1.5 years.

Funny, when I bought my first designer-ish monitor I threw a (gaming) Benq into the trash.
