All in all, the BenQ EW3280U is a powerhouse monitor which has an absolutely enviable display package. The warranty is great and looking at the various add ons given in the box, it is an absolute no brainer for purchase.

Audio for All
When a monitor company hypes the audio capability on its new offering, you have to take them seriously. The EW3280U is a significant step up from its predecessors in the audio department.
Usually, when you buy a monitor, you usually do not get built-in speakers to begin with. Even if you do spend the extra money and get yourself a monitor that has in-built speakers, the audio output is sub-par at best. This is why it is recommended to go in for some external speakers with the display.
However, BenQ EW3280U is a totally different story. As we mentioned earlier, BenQ has specifically hyped the inbuilt speaker capability of the EW3280U, and when we fired it up for a demo, we were absolutely blown away by what we heard.
The twin 2-watt speakers and 5-watt subwoofer give you more than a bang for the buck performance and with the bumped up bass, improved treble response, and five unique audio modes to choose from, you will really have to think twice about buying a pair of external speakers.
Of course, if you want really top-notch audio, then you can invest in external speakers or even high-end headsets, but if you are more of a casual gamer or you just want to enjoy your content as it is, you can safely use the built-in speakers on the EW3280U without an issue.
Conclusion
BenQ has produced yet another hit with the EW3280U, and really there is not a lot we can complain about. Yes, the thick bronze lip on the panel could be smaller and the connectivity ports could be positioned differently, but this is just us nitpicking and scrambling for cons because there are next to none.
If you are looking for a good 32-inch monitor, that offers a beautiful display, great connectivity, and surprisingly good built-in audio, the BenQ EW3280U is the one for you.
