Processing and mobility
Regarding the design or the look, the individual taste probably plays the biggest role here. BenQ relies on slightly wider edges here – especially in the lower area of the display. This makes the monitor look a bit bigger than it actually is. Personally, I don’t mind, but that’s just my opinion. In terms of maneuverability, the monitor can be adjusted in height, swiveled sideways and tilted up/down. The workmanship is – how could it be otherwise – characterized by plastic. Nevertheless, the EX3415R is not a cheap-looking plastic bomber. Quite the opposite! BenQ probably wants to emphasize the gaming note with the color accents. Now you could criticize that, but tastes are different, so I leave that to your judgment.
Connectors, cables and accessories
BenQ doesn’t let itself down in terms of cables. You get a DisplayPort, an HDMI, a USB Type-B to Type-A, an external power supply, and a remote control. Yes, a remote control – with it, the OSD can be controlled really easily and you have the option to control the volume of the built-in speakers. BenQ has not equipped the EX3415R with a KVM switch. However, you can use BiB and BnB and connect multiple devices. However, mouse and keyboard, when connected to the monitor, become usable only on the PC directly connected with USB. You can see everything else in the pictures.
OSD
Here I was a little confused at first, because some setting options were not known to me by name at all. Light Tuner, AMA, to name a few examples. The structure of the OSD menu also takes some getting used to at first. All default settings are located under the Color Mode menu item. By this I also mean the general settings like Pixel Overdrive (called AMA) and Blur Reduction. The whole thing is packed together with all color settings in the same menu item. Sounds funny – but it’s true. The advantage is that you can configure all color modes individually.
This means that you can, for example, set the sRGB mode to AMA 1 (pixel overdrive) and the user mode with AMA 2. This can be an advantage, but it does not have to be. I like the Quick mode, where you can easily and quickly change the color modes, adjust the brightness and the overdrive. Subjectively, I like it very much. But that remains a matter of taste. What I actually have to criticize: The gamma settings, which are named from one to five. The customer does not know what he is hiring. It would be better if BenQ named it as it should be: gamma 1.8; 2.2; 2.4, etc.
Software
BenQ does not offer a dedicated software that makes the OSD obsolete at this point. It’s not necessary, because the entire OSD can be conveniently controlled with the included remote control. This brings us to the essentials. One page further please.
