BenQ MOBIUZ EX240 Gaming Monitor 24 FHD 1080p 165Hz 1ms | IPS | HDRi | sRGB | Color Optimizer | Black eQualizer | Freesync | Eye-Care | Height, Swivel & Tilt | DisplayPort | HDMI | Built-In Speakers

This monitor has an exceptional feature set with a fantastic price to match. This isnt a purely gaming monitor nor is it purely for professional use, but its overwhelmingly very good at both. This monitor should be held as a gold standard in which all other monitors should be compared to. Every monitor in the known universe has trade offs between picture quality and gaming performance. Youll have to pick a feature set which is most important to you. The BenQ has a focuses more on image quality and color calibration over pure gaming features. If you are a professional or content creator that also like to game... well listen up, and keep reading! The BenQ EX2780Q closest competitor is the LG 27GL850G. + you can actually buy this and have it delivered to your front door... The LG is either out of stock or overpriced from most retailers. + Excellent for photoshop, video editing, CAD, programming, gaming, spread sheeting, or word processing. + One feature that is mostly overlooked... 144Hz for non-gaming tasks will make common desktop apps nicer to use. Apps will feel more fluid, scrolling through web pages, documents, and spreadsheets is buttery smooth. Even the Windows 10 interface is so fluid. So even if you dont care about gaming... you will enjoy using this monitor. + colors are phenomenal and will blow most monitors out of the water. The LG might win here, but by only a small fraction. If you are looking to upgrade from a monitor that you bought a few years ago, I can almost guarantee that your monitor wont have the 95% DCI P3 color reproduction. If you dont know what that means... well its pure awesome. + The BenQ has great contrast (1000:1). The LGs contrast isnt as good (800:1), grey scale is a touch muddy for my tastes. For most applications this wont be a big deal. The BenQs better contrast will be most helpful for photo/video editing/watching. + the BenQ is rated for 144 Hz and the LG for 165Hz again the difference between here is very minimal for most. Pro gamers will want 240Hz, but on those screens; contrast and color reproduction will suffer greatly. So if you are a pro gamer making money or want to make money by gaming, and have decided that 240Hz is the upmost important feature... the BenQ or the LG isnt for you. + the built in speakers are actually good... really good! Nice bass, good vocal response, loudness is pretty decent too. If i were to be picky... the mid-high range suffers a little. Critical listening should be performed on headphones or studio speakers anyways. If you are able to eliminate an external speaker set by using the built in monitor speakers, the amount of wires on you desk is greatly reduced. + BenQ might not have the brand recognition as maybe Samsung and LG. If this is your first BenQ, you wont be disappointed. + On screen menu system is basic, easy to understand, and yet has a comprehensive adjustments. +BenQ has packed a ton of modern features into this monitor at a great price, you will be very happy with this decision. Downsides: The monitor stand. It only tilts up and down several degrees... does not pivot, does not raise/lower, or does not rotate. It is solid and stable, and out of the box set at an average height. I recommend trying the built in stand for a while, and if it doesnt work out for you, just buy a monitor arm. Great ones can be found as little as $50. Good luck on your monitor search... mine has ended with the BenQ EX2780Q.

This monitor works very well for gaming. The HDR switches on automatically and looks nice. The only issue I had with image quality is that the bottom of the screen looks yellow compared to the top which looks blue. It is a subtle effect but very distracting when reading text documents. Since your eye is always going up and down over the page (to compare sentences etc.) the screen never looks properly white. Aside from this issue, the color quality is great. Beware that the stand is completely non-adjustable. I had to prop some books underneath it to get it to the right height. I ended up sending mine back because the color temperature issue made it too hard to review documents.

Great monitor for xbx since it does support 2k/1440p and you WILL get the 60fps you’re looking for. Since the PS5 doesn’t support 1440p for some reason, it is ok. I mean, you will still get 4k, just not at 60fps. I used it on the recent cods, Cold War and trashguard, I mean vanguard and I will get the enhanced 120hz in game and yes they do feel very smooth. For now, I am ok with it. In the future I do plan on obtaining ga monitor that can handle 4k at 60fps, but those are hard to come by now since not many companies make them and the ones that do are asking for an arm and a leg. But this is the best monitor to get until 4k 60fps monitors b come more available. Sound is ok but it does come with a remote which is awesome. Picture is also great. Overall, amazing monitor for 1440p gaming.

I was so happy to get this deal discounted $200. I am from Singapore. this model is not even released yet here. imported over amazon US. worrying about dead pixel and ips backlight bleed. no dead pixel.. however there is small noticeable backlight bleed at the corner.. nothing distracting. I can tolerate with it. this monitor is so well factory calibrated out of the box. I dont bother with any post calibration at all. the pleasing part is, even I watch SDR content.. the color just pops.. truly enjoying to watch all the content. the other feature I love the most is the remote!!I hook my pc and ps4 pro to it. it auto detects the signal and change to it. the remote is so convenient.. not to mention despite that it is the display, it can receive 4k signal. my ps4 pro detects this as 4k display. oh my. dunno what I else I can ask for... been waiting for a monitor that tick all my boxes.. this is it except for clear motion blur. but I can live with it. I have a esport benq monitor, I can always play my game on TN panel if i want to... but this IPS panel, I could foresee I would enjoy it more and willing to sacrifice the few ms response time for my fps game.

The TV market right now is awful, so I opted to buy this monitor for playing console games. I was iffy at first, but now I dont regret the purchase at all. The controller is invaluable, and the stock speakers are surprisingly good (better than my jank soundbar). The one downside is the volume control on the remote is beyond slow, and the volume on the monitor is borderline functional (if you scroll too fast it does not register the volume change, and actually randomly adjusts the volume up or down)

Just so people know, the 1440p 144z style monitor does not come with a displayport cable. You paid for 144hz and to get that, you will need a displayport cable. It is in poor taste that BenQ does not include one in the box.

Would be a very nice monitor if it didnt have so much backlight bleed. We bought two of these and both of them have backlight bleed in the bottom left corner straight out of the box. Expected better quality from a $450 monitor. Update: A week later and backlight bleed has spread across the bottom of the screen, and is also now visible on both the left and right hand sides of the screen. Dark scenes look terrible and immediate draw the attention of your eyes to the backlight.

Note: I didnt see the manufacturer response to this review for 4 months... I apologize for that. Allow me to revise my bad section, I still cant get HDRi to work well for me I guess the ambient lighting of my gaming room just doesnt agree with it, but I did not realize that HDR Display mode let me tweak the brightness settings (where other HDR mode turn off brightness settings. After some playing around it looks pretty great. Still not the best HDR Ive ever seen but it is what they market it as HDR 400 cant expect it to go over that hurdle Beautiful picture. Even when not in HDR, you can get some brightly colored beautiful quality imagining. Colors are vibrant and the picture is crisp. The refresh rate works out of the box, blacks are deep and whites are bright. The speakers are fantastic. Its actually why I went with this model. I have a set up that splits between my computer and several gaming consoles and I didnt want to have a set of speakers on my desk for each. While I wouldnt replace my external desktop speakers with them they are perfect for my console games.

I have had it for a months and it still works good. Makes the colors of games really pop up. A lot of settings to customize and bring the game graphics up a notch compared to some TVs. For 150-200 dollars its worth to me than buying a 300-700 dollars tv.

Its way too dark for gaming. The B.I. doesnt adjust in the daylight. I wish I could have returned this for a better gaming monitor. It does have a good refresh rate and comes with its own controller and speakers. Good for a PS5 or if you want to watch movies.
