REVIEW – I switched from a huge 27″ iMac to a MacBook more than 7 years ago and although I still use an external monitor with it when I work in my office (Gadgeteer HQ), I sometimes wish for some extra screen real estate when I’m working away from home. One solution is to buy …

REVIEW – Back in May I reviewed BenQ’s PD2710QC DesignView 27-inch Designer Monitor and have been using it ever since because I like the built-in USB-C dock and the excellent picture quality. But, it’s not 4K so I kept wondering what a 4K monitor would be like to use. I don’t have to wonder any …
REVIEW – As a photographer and videographer, editing videos including 4K videos and editing photographs are integral parts of my work. Also, viewing both in “true” color makes my editing process easier and more accurate. As a huge BenQ monitor fan, I have been looking forward to the opportunity to test and review a 4K …
REVIEW – When editing photos or videos, a reasonably sized display with great color reproduction is really essential.

I’ve been using the same 29-inch monitor from LG that I reviewed four years ago but about a month ago I started thinking about upgrading. The universe must have been listening to my thoughts because BenQ contacted me to ask if I would like to review one of their monitors. Truth be told, BenQ had not …

Since I recently wrote a news story about an amazing BenQ 4K monitor that would work great for photographers and videographers, I decided to write about another BenQ monitor that is also great, but without the price tag of the one in my previous article. While there are many great 4K monitors on the market …

There is nothing like getting back in the studio and examining those shots that we were excited to get, especially at some amazing moments. A huge part of being able to see the true beauty of a photograph, and being able to edit it …

I haven’t had monitor lust in… well I can’t really remember ever having monitor lust until right now. Take a look at the image above. It’s the new AOC PDS241 and PDS271 monitors and they are stunning. They feature a crazy thin (5.2 mm) and an almost frameless display that looks great, but what really …
All parts of my home may not be organized and clutter free, but I try to keep my Gadgeteer HQ workspace as neat and tidy as possible. It’s tough for me to feel inspired to write when my desk is a mess, so I’m always looking for ways to keep things organized in my small …
