Are there any gaming reviews on this monitor? I have read tft's review which was thorough as ever but would like to see some real world gaming on it. I'm not a massive gamer by any means and am certainly not a performance junkie when it comes to monitors but I just want to know it will handle the likes of Grid and F1 series' without issues. Any help is much appreciated!

That's as precise as BenQ themselves are being I'm afraid.
I hope to review this shortly as a 'gaming monitor' as well.

BenQ BL3200PT 32" Widescreen LED Professional/Gaming Slim Bezel Flicker FREE Monitor - Black @ £479.99 inc VAT
Accurate Color Gamut that brings your imagination to life, A Large Screen that extends your design space, High Resolution to view the smallest details, Ergonomic Features that ease your eye and neck strain... Result, A monitor that meets all your CAD/CAM needs!
With a 2560x1440 WQHD resolution and extra working space mean less scrolls for zooming in and out. Start using BenQ CAD/CAM Monitor now and boost your work efficiency!
The unique CAD/CAM Mode is specially designed to enhance work efficiency and reducing eye fatigue for all CAD/CAM users. By making the color contrast higher, every displayed line will be perfectly distinguished. With BenQ CAD/ CAM Monitors, you will never miss a line again in your designed work.
To clearly distinguish detailed textures in the darkest areas, BenQ developed Animation Mode that enhances brightness in dark areas without overexposing bright areas. With ten levels of brightness, the Animation Mode provides the comfort and freedom that every designer will welcome with open arms.
With the BenQ’s advanced 100% sRGB screen technology, every color is delivered with the finest precision in every detail and at every possible viewing angle. Get and share a professional viewing experience.
Auto Pivot detects the rotation of the monitor and dynamically rotates displayed content automatically. All windows will be equally portioned and displayed on the screen when clicking on the Desktop Partition icon, which allows you to compare all design works with just, one simple click. Moreover, you can preset different picture modes to each frequently used software. Display Pilot will automatically switch to your preferred picture mode in different user scenarios.
Unique control device docked to the stand of every BL3200PT monitor remotely accesses the OSD menu. Three pre-set hot-keys allow quick switching between 1. sRGB Mode, 2. CAD/CAM Mode, 3. Low Blue Light Mode, or let you assign your own set of display modes providing ultimate user flexibility.
Large screen monitors usually take a noticeable amount of space on the working desk. BL 3200 is designed to save as much of your workspace as possible. Compact stand architecture enables the screen to sit at the very edge of the desk and maximize your working space and comfort.
I/O ports on the side of the screen effortlessly bring all your content together in one convenient package. 2x USB 3.0 and SD card reader provide super-speed data transmissions.
The slim bezel makes the monitor look lighter and larger. In a multi-display setup with two or more units, thin bezels are less intrusive and effectively expand your work-space.
An extensive range of monitor adjustments – height, tilt, pivot, stroke and swivel – tailor your own unique working station that is best suited for your height and viewing habits with a maximum 150mm distance between the screen bottom and the base.
The Flicker-free technology eliminates flickering at all brightness levels and effectively reducing eye fatigue. Conventional LCD screens flicks 200 times per second. Your eyes may not see flickers, but they can certainly feel them. Free your eyes from flickers by switch to CAD/ CAM Monitors and let your eyes do less work while you are working on CAD/ CAM designs.
Every Monitor produces a strain of blue spectrum light that is one of the critical causes of eye damage, eye strain, headaches and sleeping disorders. BenQ's unique Low Blue Light technology is designed to deal with the everyday problem of blue light exposure and allows a healthier time spent in front of your computer. Switch to one of the four preset Low Blue Light Modes from OSD hot key (Multimedia – 30% reduction, Web-surfing – 50% reduction, Office – 60% reduction, Reading – 70% reduction), and reward your eyes without having to lose the visual enjoyment. Corporate users are frequently required to read documents from a monitor. Reading Mode adjusts the screen brightness, contrast ratio and sharpness to make your eyes feel as easy as reading directly from hard copies without wasting any paper.

TFTCentral has a review up. It's a shame the monitor seems to have a decent amount of input lag and no game mode
It looked perfect until I got to the input lag section! Still seems interesting for the price...
(and being blind as a bat 32" seems interesting...)
Can some gamers please let us know what gaming on the monitor is like?

Courier messed up so I've only just got my BL3200PT. Some early thoughts:
Subjective picture quality is outstanding once the gamma and brightness are set to something sane. I've not noticed any issues with bright/dark stripes that some people on other forums have reported.
Build quality is very good, the base and stand in particular are nice and solid. I'm loving the little remote control puck.
Will do some gaming and take pictures later.

Looking forward to them!
i'm returning mine, because i'm too OCD about those lighter vertical bands. i've given it a couple of days to see whether they would go away if the panel was "burned in", so to speak. nope, they're still there.
other than that, the screen is pretty much perfect, but i'm really picky, so....

Just got mine today, very impressed so far having tried some use in Windows and also some 1440p Titanfall. No noticeable ghosting or lag.
I've tried the LG 34UM95-P beforehand and this is my preferred screen despite the lower pixel density (which suits my viewing distance better), lower horizontal res and less vibrant colours.
I've checked for the vertical bands and I have some extremely slight banding on a black screen but the backlight is uniform (the LG I tried had a significant IPS glow in the bottom left corner). The stand is excellent, I was planning on mounting on an vesa arm but no need.

yeha, really bummed out that mine had this. whenever the picture is moving, i.e. in a game, it looks like the screen is "smudged" with the lighter bands, couldn't stand it.... static images are pretty much perfect.
you can clearly see the bands when you take a MS paint window, fill the area in it with a grey tone and start moving the window around the desktop. my OCD got the better of me and i sent it back.
