BenQ EW3270U

It used to be more than RM2500 in 2018. Now it's cheaper. Can find at RM1399 in shopee.

Va panel. Good for movie and video.

The most important thing is, it's 4K.

Since you mentioned LG 27UP850, I assume you are eyeing on 60hz monitor. Then I recommend you this.


28 inch 4k 60hz - Asus VG289Q


One of my previous monitors. Nothing fancy about it. But it's working fine in office works/media/gaming. A very good budget friendly 4k monitor, which includes all the goodies such as versatile stand and speakers.

USB-C? Then the VG289Q is not for you since it doesn't have one.

Based on your budget, the one you are looking for is Dell 27 4K UHD USB-C Monitor - S2722QC

I see. Then I guess your eyes somehow cannot adapt to IPS panels. Yes, it's a thing when it comes to IPS monitor. Try to search in google. A lot of users have the same eyes problem with IPS monitor.

If that's the case, the same problem may come back even if you buy that LG monitor you mentioned above, since it's also an IPS monitor.


Therefore, your choice will be very limited. Either go for VA or TN panel. VA is better than TN. So go for that.

Unfortunately, there's no 27 inch 4K VA monitor available. Technically speaking, it doesn't exist.

So here's my suggestion. How about going for 32 inch monitor? If your desk is big and deep enough, I recommend you the Eyecare monitor BenQ EW3270U. Also one of my previous monitors. 4K VA panel. Got USB-C port. I did compare it to my another IPS monitor. And yes. This VA panel is very comfortable to eyes. Good for office works and media consumption.

Here's the review.

It's good for everything, except for gaming. If you are using the monitor for office use, especially for long hour usage. then this is highly recommended.

Here, this is the seller I bought the monitor from.

2 questions though.

1. When it comes to our shore? Most likely before end of 2024, since every new tech takes their own sweet time when it comes to Malaysia market (except smart phone)?

2. The price when it reaches our shore. RM6000-6500 ish?

I checked their model MSI Optix MPG321UR-QD, original price was 900 USD (RM 4200) during launch. The Malaysia launch price was RM5499 (now reduced to RM4800, still more expensive than the US price). So based on their pricing strategy, looks like the Oled model is going into the 6k-7k territory....

The 32 4K oled is really tempting. Perfect for desktop gaming. But the pricing is making me think twice....

As I expected, around RM6000. And it's MAG model instead of MPG model. FYI, MAG model doesn't provide firmware update. A high end monitor that unable to update firmware and cost more than RM6000? How about NO Thanks.

Obviously, MSI is treating Malaysia as third world country. What a dissapointment. Why the hell they choose to launch MAG model instead of MPG model? Probably assumed that most Malaysia buyers are not tech savvy.

Not only 2k reso, 1.5k can also get a good 28 4k monitor already.
