BenQ EX321UX 32" 4K 144hz Gaming Monitor

[@omaior20]

I like that there is less B roll tbh, just information and personal experience.

[@AdamDuffArt]

I decided to get straight to the facts! (although when possible, a little sexy b-roll is always nice)

[@Professor_Oaks]

I've been hunting for a new monitor with the burn in setting in on my monitor, great review. Hard to find a display that is great for gaming AND art without out sooo much research. Thanks for this!

[@4321imsocool]

Man I just spent the past two days looking for the monitor that checks all my boxes. I think this is it. I’ve had my old BenQ for 10 years and I’ll still use it as a vertical side monitor after getting this new one. I trust the quality longevity of this brand and this video reinforces that for me. Thanks a lot for the factual and experience based information. Direct and to the point. Cheers

💯

[@stevenqirkle]

You say it doesn't support power delivery, but the BenQ website says it supports 65W power delivery over USB-C. You also say it has excellent speakers, but the EX321UX doesn't have built-in speakers? What monitor are you reviewing here?

[@justarandomtomato_]

Straightforward and very nicely edited. Everything feels very well balanced in this review. It is simply really well thought-out. Great review, Adam!

[@esbenkran]

The music makes this a great mission brief during a sci-fi RPG game with Adam speccing our target for us.

[@Ghostly8alls]

Great video and thank you for explaining this monitor.

[@WebsterWorks-k6c]

My dilemma is going with the Benq ma320u for the Mac or can I use the Being EX321UX for gaming and the Mac. This EX321UX would be the better outcome if it supported M-mode. and synchronize controls between Mac keyboard and monitor. Also the Mac app to control the colour setting...

[@CDAProst]

According to BenQ website and resellers there is only Headphone Jack in this monitor, no speaker. You tested the EX321UX or the EX3210U? EX321UX is miniled, EX3210U is not but has speakers.

[@Waterprince20]

Yeah there is something definitely wrong here😂😂😂 cause the stand atleast looks like it's of EX321UX but if it has built in speakers, it's definitely not EX321UX. As you said the higher probability is that it's probably EX3210U but it's display is not even Mini LED 😂🤦‍♂️ he has fucked up somewhere no doubt about it. Perhaps he has no mind of his own and is reading from a sheet of paper as to know what he is supposed to say about this monitor without even actually testing it🤷‍♂️

[@TheITNerd]

I have this monitor and I have a one cable setup via USB-C. It charges my MacBook Pro and I can output from said MacBook Pro to the display. No issues.

[@Donbros]

So he is incorrect?

[@TheITNerd]

@@Donbros In short, yes.

[@tomasbohunek9698]

What's your experience with BI+? Is it good?

[@TheITNerd]

@@tomasbohunek9698 To be honest, I don't use it. I parked this monitor into Display HDR mode which disables BI+ and have used it that way ever since. I did that because I do a lot of photo editing so that mode matches (more or less) the colour space of my MacBook Pro.

[@tomasbohunek9698]

@@TheITNerd Thanks! It's already valuable to know that BI+ doesn't work when HDR, which sux. :(

[@friendlyneighborhoodartist]

Damn, this is exactly what I was looking for when I upgrade my monitor but it's just a few inches too big. I didn't know they made my perfect monitor XD

[@AdamDuffArt]

I actually asked if they had a 27” to match the size of my Apple studio display - I believe it only comes in 32”

[@friendlyneighborhoodartist]

@@AdamDuffArt damn, that's disappointing. My desk is a side table, so it's 4x2 lol

[@tomasbohunek9698]

Too big? Put it further away (on a spring arm). It will look the same size and your eyestrain will reduce. Monitor should be at least 1 meter away from eyes and only a few actually get to have that. It's why I'm swapping from 27" to 32" and I've been waiting for this one become available in my country for months!

[@kevintackett3223]

From the look at the specs, it should support a one-cable solution for Macbooks or laptops since it has 90w power delivery with DP alt mode. I use this setup on my Macbook with my Samsung G8 OLED.

[@Donbros]

Its cool but i would prefer for its price to go doen at lesst to 900 eur, the price is crazy

[@Hippieinthewoods]

Is the Matte none destortubg?

[@tomasbohunek9698]

How did you find the BI+ experience? Was it smooth or did you notice the transitions? Was it sensitive to short-term brightness changes in the room? Thanks!

[@icedmiko]

i have both mac mini and pc as well. how did u connect the mac to the pc ? which layout? thanks a lot😀

Can you help me which BenQ monitor you suggest for Mac mini? Firstly I use to productivity and secondly gaming (on Mac :)) I saw your reviews about EX3210U and EX321UX or there is another better in this price range what you suggest to buy? THX

[@Consola260]

I was set on a 27 inch 4K until I came across this review Love the aesthetics. Solid review! (I recently got a LG DualUp as a side monitor, so I've got more room on my desk for the main monitor now)

[@wiesawnowicki8789]

Nice review! How about earc and soundbar connection? Does it support Atmos for PC?

[@zenverlot36]

Just the video I needed to see, straight to the point. What were the settings that you preferred and chose for this monitor?

[@DiegoSanchez-fi9cf]

I mean, its definetly a good looking monitor

[@samparhizkar5221]

How fast is wake from sleep on mac?

[@TheITNerd]

I have this plugged into an M1 MacBook Pro and it's quick for me. You do need to tweak the USB settings for best results.

[@prabhudatt27]

Does it support Travelo speakers…???

[@mariekarlsson700]

Wtf! This monitor dosent have speakers!!! Wrong monitor

[@DrakonR]

You're 100% correct about refresh rates. I've tested dozens of different monitors and the difference between 144hz to 480hz is greatly exaggerated.

[@tomasbohunek9698]

Eyes may not notice 480Hz, but the trick with them is the game engine that works internally faster, allowing you to perform muscle-memory and pre-trained moves (ones that are not reactive to what you see) faster.

[@DrakonR]

@tomasbohunek9698 sure Jan.
