You’ll want to clear out your desk for this one. The BenQ EW3880R is a gargantuan 37.5-inch ultrawide screen that provides next-level immersion and more screen than you could ever need. Its sprawling 21:9 aspect ratio will comfortably accommodate up to four windows, which translates to some serious multitasking.
With its 3,800 x 1,600-pixel resolution, the EW3880R is made for a crisp and vivid cinematic experience. It’s got a rather gentle 2300R curvature however, so is won’t completely wrap around you.
The monitor uses an IPS panel, which offers vivid colours. BenQ is claiming 95% of the DCI-P3 colour space, but testing with the Datacolor SpyderX Elite puts that at closer to 93%. That said, it’s still a solid monitor for movies and other entertainment content, as long as you’re not an enthusiast looking to scrutinise even the smallest details. The IPS panel does offer excellent viewing angles though, which is particularly important for such a wide monitor.

I loved every moment of working on this screen, and the benefits of being able to display multiple tasks side by side cannot be overstated. The monitor stand supports tilt, swivel, and height adjustments too, so you can get it into the right position.
