EFFICIENCY IN WORK AND PLAY

A great monitor enhances productivity and entertainment. For work, a high-resolution display with accurate colors and ergonomic adjustments reduces eye strain and supports multitasking. Multiple ports help streamline device connections. For gaming, it needs high frame rates, low response times, and vibrant visuals. The BenQ MOBIUZ EX271Q features a 27-inch QHD IPS panel, a 180Hz refresh rate, and AI-driven visual enhancements. But does it provide the versatility and performance for both work and play?

BENQ MOBIUZ EX271Q MONITOR

DESIGN & BUILD

The BenQ EX271Q features a sleek, futuristic design with a premium white-and-black color scheme and ultra-slim bezels that enhance screen space, perfect for gaming or multi-monitor setups. It has a robust stand that allows for height adjustment (100 mm), tilt (-5° to 20°), and swivel (±15°), but lacks pivot functionality for portrait mode, which may disappoint some users.

Setup is quick and easy, although the stand's larger footprint may affect those with limited desk space. Its white casing may attract dust, requiring regular cleaning, but it does support standard 100 x 100 mm VESA mounting for improved organization.

A notable feature is the included remote control, which enhances navigation through the onscreen display (OSD) for input switching, color profiles, HDR modes, and eye-care settings, making it more convenient than the monitor's two buttons.
