My panel that I've recieved is: Innolux M270KCJ-K7E C4 For anyone that's kinda skeptical of buying this monitor, no need to (I was at first) Yes, they changed it to the Innolux panel instead of keeping the LG one but this still looks brilliant either way. It receives a 4k signal from Xbox/Ps5 which downscales to 2k but it looks amazing with the right settings adjusted. Speakers are also not that bad imo. If you're worried about the brightness being too low - it looks bright and fine for me. No issues. I can't really vouch if it's good on PC or not as I don't have one (only a console) but it is fantastic for the Xbox Series X. For £220, I'd say it's a bargain for the quality of this monitor tbh. Of course everyone's experience maybe different, it could possibly have it's problems with the monitor or whatso but luckily I've experienced nothing so far. It's kinda a shame there's no remote control tho. Hope this helps anyone reading this ✌️

[@gixxis3264]

the only reviewer i've found whereby playback speed 1.5 is actually very beneficial , nice review thanks

[@Skubbes]

Got it for £240 on the Amazon deal it has right now. Getting it delivered tomorrow!. Probably a good deal for this monitor! Never had a 1440p yet. Hope it was a good choice

[@Skubbes]

It was a good choice. Colours like I never seen before! Makes gaming more fun when colours are more vivid

[@Rachenbrenner]

​@@SkubbesWhat about the brightness? Some people say its bad but I think about buying it for ps5 🤷‍♂️

[@Skubbes]

@@Rachenbrenner Honestly bud go for it. I've been playing all of my games on it and in daylight sometimes. Sure, it wont burn your retinas off, but I never had a single moment when gaming with my lights on that its too dim. if anything, its brighter than my old lenovo screen with a TN panel, so your mileage may vary because you might be used to something else. That being said, its a 27inch screen, i dont suppose you plan to use it as a living room screen with sunlight beaming down on its centre. If HDR matters a lot to you too, dont really count on it blowing you away, but the colours are where it really shines (hehe) cause they're all just so lovely.

[@Rachenbrenner]

@@Skubbes alright I will check it out. Will be a huge upgrade from my 2014 samsung tv 🥸

[@Skubbes]

@@Rachenbrenner lmao yeah i think so, what resolution and size was the tv?

[@hansbacher355]

Nice review. Explanation and analysis of response time was really good!

[@nakon7niket]

The only reason i would buy this is the speakers. Performance wise it is almost as good as m27q but for practicality the speakers are a great addition.

[@sai9692]

I bought this monitor, but the speakers are not that loud. I voices in movies I watch via amazon prime is very low. When watching certain youtube video it gets loud a bit. I don't know if it's a fault on my unit.

[@JFinns]

@@sai9692 You need to set it to Cinema mode in monitor settings, huge improvement.

£200 on Amazon right now - actually quite a crazy bargain! It's cheaper than the 1080p version, until Monday 8th April 2024

[@AlterRez700]

How is the monitor 2 months later my friend?

[@JohnnyZenith]

Hi I don't know if you'll see this but I am wondering if the 27 inch BenQ mobius 1440p monitor is still worth getting or if there's a good alternative these days. I don't need the speakers and I do need two monitors. However it is very cheap on Amazon right now. Is the 250 nits (non HDR) good enough? Is it vibrant? Thanks

[@pablode7638]

hey did u buy the monitor ?

[@dann5480]

Thanks, was waiting for someone to review this.

[@creocoder]

This monitor as many others can downscale 4K from consoles to 2K. So stop confusing people about 1080p from consoles. From consoles it accept 4K signal. From PS5 too.

[@Mark-hb2zy]

You've set up your testing wrong, this monitor will do about 420 nits in HDR mode. It's still not great because it raises the backs so much it negates most of the benefits, bit it will go over 400 nits.

[@swa99a10]

This monitor has good input lag.

[@Zombie101]

yeah 5ms is actually rapid!

[@nakon7niket]

6:47 dont blame the monitor, that was totally you XD

Do you have the answer? haha I am looking at the two as well. Which one did you get?

[@creocoder]

GP850 would be better, not much, but 100% better.

Ich habe beide, aber ich finde den Benq irgendwie besser. Es fühlt sich alles so weich an.

[@Zombie101]

this or m27q - also when you talking about the lag on the ex2710q the average is being reported as 5ms whereas on the m27q its showing above 20ms average! so.... wth

[@alejandrojaramillo8344]

Just noticed that you are using "HDR emulated" instead of HDR on, meaning that HDR was not enabled on windows settings, so yes, that's why you HDR was so bad, there is a huge difference when the monitor displays HDR on instead of HDR emulated

[@toonsutube]

Does high refresh rate monitor make feels everything smooth in day to day task also or its just only for gamers . And should i consider this monitor or u have any better suggestions.

[@Pizzarolles_.]

It's the same monitor except its not curved and it's an ips panel whereas the R is a VA panel.

I am also looking for the answer to the same question. I have Benq EX270Q and I am very happy with it. I want to get another one for a dual monitor setup but they are sold out everywhere... I was wondering how better the new version is.

[@Dama_077]

if you put on hdr you get over 400 nits and its locked to 2ms you cannot choose fast faster fastest.

[@teocong7504]

[@portugasanwa]

MAG274QRF is the best 1440p monitor out there

[@mariuszkrynsky2004]

Not if you have amd graphics card as it doesn't support amd freesync.

Thank you so much for clearing the brightness controversially I almost got misled by that ba*ls*it 400 nts I'm going for LG 27GR75Q-B instead.

[@CrashWar966]

[@emmadulhassan8039]

No the other model “ex2710R” comes with the remote. This one doesn’t

Hi friend please answer , do you prefer the acer predator monitor or this one? thanks

[@TheJaso0n]

Hi, what are your thoughts on the BenQ EX2710R?

[@mattg768]

It's a VA panel, so if you like that that's really the only difference to this one which is ips.

[@Yeetoslolol]

These monitors are great, he’s just being picky and wierd about it

[@danimayb]

@Michael San The whole 4K 120fps is just a gimmick anyway on the PS5 and Xbox X, It's not true standard. And sometimes that variable resolution upscaling looks like dog shit lol

[@mattg768]

@michaelsan7200 you really don't 1440p at 120hz is a great compromise, I go between a 4k 120hz oled and this for pc and ps5 and because of the screen size you don't really notice the difference. I wouldn't be spending stupid money on a 4k 120hz monitor when you can just buy the LG c2 for the ps5 which is on sale right now.

I must say I am confused on the ben q I see 5mill al the way through for the gigabit I see 23 mill as average what is up with that exactly.

[@prmayner]

This is my second Benq, my first one was from the rl series a 2755 I believe is what it is and I loved that monitor. So I bought this as an upgrade and to be honest I want my other monitor back, I don't like the colors on this and the resolution sucks, but I gave my other monitor to my wife and I don't think she's gonna give it up. In my opinion which means nothing I would look somewhere else. I did buy this monitor manufactured refurbished for 250 bucks is the only positive.

[@gixxis3264]

thanks pal , i'll ignore this monitor then - feel for you , i brought an ASUS vg25qr (i think) I dont like it & its overpriced , 1 year later i'm returning it under the notion of false advertising , claims nvdia gysnc ready , which according to nVidia means uncertified. see if theres a way to return it

[@prmayner]

@@gixxis3264 I'm probably just not used to 1440 especially with my old eyes, too used to 1080. maybe it just needs to grow on me. It's really not a bad monitor, it doesn't swivel into what i call portrait mode though.

BenQ EX2710Q or ASUS VG27AQL1A Help 🙌🏼

Benq are a solid buy but there are better for the same price, the Asus looks good also, I think at this point it's personal preference.
