I have reviewed plenty of monitors over the years, but most of them are designed around one simple idea: give you a good display and as many features as possible. The BenQ RD270Q takes a slightly different approach. It is a 27 inch monitor designed specifically around programming and long hours of screen time, with features aimed at making text easier to read and the screen more comfortable to use. I am not a coder, so I used it mainly for writing, browsing and the kind of long screen sessions I normally spend in front of my laptop.
At ₹29,989, the BenQ RD270Q is certainly not the cheapest 27 inch QHD monitor you can buy. You can find similar display specifications for considerably less money, but BenQ has packed a lot into this monitor beyond the panel itself. After using it for a while, I found that some of those features are actually useful even if you are not a programmer.

The first thing I noticed about the BenQ RD270Q is how solid it feels. The monitor is large, sturdy and has the kind of build quality I expect from a premium productivity monitor. Setting it up is straightforward, and the stand is one of my favourite parts because you get a lot of adjustment. You can move the screen up and down, tilt it, swivel it and even rotate it 90 degrees into portrait mode.
