              BenQ EL2870U vs Samsung U28E590D - User Opinions

                The BenQ EL2870U is much better than the Samsung UE590. The BenQ supports HDR, although this doesn't add much. The BenQ also has slightly better motion handling, as the backlight is completely flicker-free at all brightness settings.
