Monitor BenQ EX271Q, white

BenQ EX271Q is a 27" gaming monitor aimed at serious 1440p gaming without unnecessary embellishments. You get a combination of 2560 x 1440 resolution and up to 180 Hz refresh rate, making it much smoother than standard 60/75 Hz displays. The IPS panel with wide viewing angles and 1.07 billion colors is oriented for both gaming and working with visual content. The white casing makes it a good choice if you are aiming for a cleaner, brighter setup on your desk.

What you get

With a 27" diagonal and QHD resolution 2560 x 1440, you get a much sharper image than 1080p, without the burden of 4K for the GPU – an ideal balance for mid-range and high-end gaming configurations. The IPS panel with viewing angles of 178°/178° means stable colors and contrast, even if you are not sitting perfectly centered. The refresh rate of 144 Hz / 180 Hz and response time of 1 ms give you much smoother motion and less blur in fast shooters and competitive titles. AMD FreeSync Premium Pro helps eliminate tearing and stuttering by synchronizing the GPU and monitor within the supported range. With a brightness of 350 cd/m² and a static contrast of 1000:1, you can comfortably play and work in a normally lit room without the image fading.

• 27" diagonal offers a good balance between size and focal distance for a desk, suitable for both gaming and multitasking.
• The resolution 2560 x 1440 provides a more detailed and clear image than 1080p, without being as heavy on the GPU as 4K.
• IPS matrix with viewing angles 178°/178° gives stable colors and contrast, even when viewing the screen at an angle.
• The combination of 144 Hz / 180 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time is a strong plus for fast, competitive games.
• AMD FreeSync Premium Pro reduces tearing and stutter by synchronizing frames between the GPU and the monitor.
• Brightness of 350 cd/m² and static contrast of 1000:1 provide a clear and readable image in a typical daytime or office environment.
• DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB ports give you flexibility for connecting to PC, consoles, and peripherals, while VESA 100 x 100 mm allows for wall or arm mounting.
• Power consumption of only 42 W is reasonable for a 27" 1440p gaming monitor with a high refresh rate.

Who it is suitable for

This monitor is a good choice for gamers who want smooth 1440p gaming with a high refresh rate and FreeSync, without sacrificing colors and viewing angles. It is also suitable for people who combine gaming with work, programming, or light photo and video editing. If you are looking for a maximally large screen for distant viewing or very specific professional color grading, you will likely be looking at a larger or more niche panel.

The combination of 27" QHD, IPS, up to 180 Hz, and FreeSync Premium Pro in a pure white casing makes the BenQ EX271Q a very stable foundation for a modern, fast, and visually pleasing gaming setup.
