Are you wondering how to reset your BenQ monitor to factory settings?
If yes, you are not alone; many users find themselves needing to restore their BenQ monitors to default settings after changing something that made the screen look off or unusable.
That was exactly my situation a few days ago.
I adjusted the color temperature and sharpness to experiment with a new game setup, but it backfired.
Everything looked distorted. Resetting the monitor solved the problem in less than a minute.
In this guide, you will learn how to reset any BenQ monitor quickly and bring all settings back to default.
Why Reset Your BenQ Monitor
You might need to reset your monitor if you notice any of the following:
- Unusual display colors or brightness
- Image not aligned or screen scaling issues
- Wrong input source selected
- Poor text clarity or blurry graphics
A factory reset can instantly return your display to the original state with standard factory settings.
How To Reset BenQ Monitor In Less Than A Minute
1. Power On Your Monitor
Make sure your BenQ monitor is turned on and connected to a PC, console, or media player.
2. Open The Monitor’s Menu
Find the physical buttons on your BenQ monitor.
They are often located along the lower-right side or underneath the screen.
Press the “Menu” button to launch the on-screen display.
3. Navigate To System Or Setup Menu
Use the arrow keys to move through the menu options.
Look for a tab called “System,” “Setup,” or “Options,” depending on your model.
4. Select Reset All or Factory Reset
Once inside the correct section, find the option labeled “Reset All,” “Reset Settings,” or “Factory Reset.”
5. Confirm The Reset
Press the select button and confirm when asked if you want to proceed.
Your screen may flash or go blank for a few seconds.
6. Wait For Restart
The monitor will reset itself and return to the default settings.
After this, you can go back and adjust anything you still want to change manually.
Extra Troubleshooting Tip
If your BenQ model does not have a reset option in the menu, check the exact model number and search for the user manual on the official BenQ support website.
Some models have the reset option placed under a different submenu.
Conclusion
Resetting a BenQ monitor to factory settings takes less than a minute once you know where to look.
If your screen looks off or something is not right with the display, this simple fix might be all you need.
Just use the monitor’s physical buttons to reach the on-screen menu, scroll to the reset option, confirm, and wait.
If you still have issues after the reset, check the BenQ support site for model-specific tips or firmware updates.
