BenQ MOBIUZ EX2710 27 Inch FHD (1920 x 1080) HDRi 144Hz Gaming Monitor, IPS, 1ms, FreeSync Premium, PS5/Xbox X Compatible, Black

Product Information

The pixel response requirements are raised and you see the fragmented trailing appearing somewhat bolder – but each fragment is also a bit smaller due to the increased refresh rate. BenQ takes eye care seriously with a TUV Rheinland certification and adjustments for Low Blue Light and Color Weakness.

g. backlightless technology such as OLED) or failing that offer a very large number of dimming zones with precise control. The backlight is therefore considered ‘flicker-free’, which will come as welcome news to those sensitive to flickering or worried about side-effects from PWM usage. The red block appeared quite a rich red throughout the screen, without obvious dulling or saturation shifts as you’d observe on models with weaker colour consistency.It takes in an ambient light reading, then makes minor adjustments to the on-screen picture to be sure you're getting the best possible picture. But can also be selected under SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) where various adjustments are made to the image – think of them as a sort of ‘filter’, but there’s nothing ‘HDR’ about the resulting image with an SDR signal.

It helps displays eliminate screen tearing, stuttering and juddering by synchronizing the monitor’s refresh rate with the framerate from the GPU. A dedicated HDRi button is found towards the right side, with a silver-coloured label above which has a similar visual texture to a vinyl record, but lighter in colour. Although the fragments are slightly narrower and the main object even more sharply focused, with the notches appearing quite distinct.Things appear somewhat more muted, actually a bit undersaturated in places with a slightly weak green channel. We also favour the 144Hz refresh rate in general when using this setting due to reduced flickering, slightly improved ‘connected feel’ and lower overshoot for some transitions not covered using Test UFO. We also observed movie content at a range of frame rates, including ~24 – 30fps Netflix content and 60fps YouTube content. The BenQ EX2710 of the MOBIUZ series is one such offering, with features such as Adaptive-Sync – including AMD FreeSync Premium – and a 144Hz refresh rate.

With ‘VSync on’ the frame rate will not be allowed to rise above 144fps, at which point VSync activates and imposes the usual associated latency penalty. We wouldn’t recommend using them unless created for your specific unit using your own calibration device. We again consider ‘AMA = 2’ optimal here due to it slightly reducing how bold the strobe crosstalk appears without a clear negative impact.The stronger settings were particularly effective at reducing blue light output from the monitor, especially when coupled with reduced brightness. But this was not strong oversaturation and the representation of these and indeed other shades was more appropriate than they would be on an unprofiled wide gamut monitor.

To maximise colour accuracy within the sRGB colour space, for colour-managed workflows, full calibration and profiling with a colorimeter or similar device is recommended. Whilst this is a slower-paced title, the improved ‘connected feel’ and lower perceived blur were still nice to have. The Lagom text appeared a blended grey throughout, with a green hue to the striping of the text which was a touch stronger near the edges.So a reasonably compact design overall, especially compared to some gaming monitors with quite ostentatious and unnecessarily deep stand designs. The technology worked all the way down to 48Hz (48fps in the game), below which LFC (Low Framerate Compensation) kicked in.
