Unfortunate I forgot to measure the brightness of this monitor so I don't have the measurement.
Anyway, most monitor brightness is 50-100 nits less than advertised. So this BenQ brightness is probably 200-250 nits.
I use my monitors at around 150 nits and it's more than bright enough for me. 200-250 nits is definitely more than sufficient. I remember the BenQ monitor being very bright when I tested it so brightness is definitely not a problem.
Even if a monitor is rate at 400 nits, you're not going to use it at 400 nits because it's way too bright for eyes.
To me the main difference between this BenQ and the ASUS comes down to the ports, so just choose based on the ports you need. Thunderbolt 3 support is going to be more expensive.
