Any alternatives?

The most obvious competitor is the Samsung CF791, which matches the BenQ in every category, at a discounted price of just $750. It’s hard to beat that. Though if HDR is a must for you, the EX3501R is your best bet.

　　There are some decent offerings from LG, HP, and Dell, but the BenQ EX3501R is a better monitor in most aspects.

　　

How long will it last?

This monitor comes with a three-year parts and labor warranty, which is standard among monitors like this. Good port selection, build quality, and HDR support ensure this monitor will last you for many, many years.

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes. It’s a fantastic monitor that’s futureproofed for a day when HDR will be a must.
