EX2710Q (1440p)

Keep in mind this review is in comparison to my old benq 1080/60 monitor and a Samsung 4K/60 TV - neither of which cost me an arm and a leg and in truth this monitor cost more than my TV (by a small amount) - I am not a monitor/tv tech person so don’t expect detailed analysis on ghosting etc. Tested on a Series X and PS5 - 1440p works fine as does the 120hz mode! First off, delivery was fantastic. Got the box upstairs and unpackaged it - if it looks like it’s been previously opened this is due to a ‘benq power cord swap’ - I have no idea but hey ho. The monitor itself is sleek, beautiful and feels robust/very well built. Inside the box along with the monitor; Stand for monitor which seems to allow up and down movements, left to right turning not a huge arc and tilt. You can’t turn the monitor from landscape to portrait on the provided mount. One hdmi cable One display port cable One usb cable I’ll also add that the main power brick is external, so keep that in mind if cable tidying etc is a big deal. The monitor itself truly shows the age of my other pieces especially when loading up Apex Legends, Overwatch 2, Forza Horizon 5 and God of War Ragnarok. Crisp deep blacks that look lovely and ‘inky’, colours truly come to life on this 27” IPS panel and in all honesty it makes my games look even better. I didn’t fiddle with the settings much, having watched a video I set the HDRi to Game, AMA to 3 and audio to cinema. I tried out Overwatch 2 on the frame rate mode and holy smokes it is so darn buttery smooth! A moment that truly made me appreciate the upgrade and in my opinion justified my spending. It’s only as I was playing OW2 or Apex for example that I began to notice just how blurry the picture would get on my older pieces when turning/moving fast. A huge difference even if you still play games at 60fps it just seems more crisp! So yeah I was blown away, I didn’t notice any black light bleed on my panel which is an almost guaranteed thing on IPS apparently but nothing caught my eye. The speakers are actually incredible given the size and the fact they’re packed into such a small unit. Obviously not as good as a decent sound bar or sound system but definitely usable if not more than adequate! i did compare monitors before purchasing this one, some might say there are better offerings but having had BenQ before I knew I’d pick this one. I highly suggest those that are more inclined towards the technical details of monitors to search this model up on YouTube as there are a fair few detailed reviews. But all in all? 10/10 for me and worth every penny. My games have never looked so superb. If you’re looking to upgrade like me it is without a doubt the best move!

Great size, great price, easy to use menus, a little bit bigger bezel (on the screen) so still a bit of a gap between the two screens but the real estate and extra resolution is very handy. No dead pixels, have these on a dual monitor stand so not using supplied ones but they seem very sturdy and think the movement options they allow would be great also. Colors seem vibrant enough, speakers are passable and give a ln extra dimension compared to previous acers (g246hl). Delivery and price were good and overall very happy

To start of I don't like the power brick, but if you don't plan to use the usb slots to charge stuff its overspecked enough that it doesn't even get that warm even after 10 hours of being on and playing! I love the size, IPs and resolution, the panel itself is really good with colours being great and backlight sobbing looks much clearer but you can't see any of the artefacting that I've seen on other monitors and it being ips you don't get any issues with ghosting It looks and feels great and the speakers are really good for monitor speakers which is what made me pick this over the LG, Koorui, Samsung competitives. The packaging was also perfection itself, my last 32 inch came in basically thrown in a box with stuff around it, the stand also doesn't suck compared to others Pretty expensive compared to the other competitives around the time I got it it was about 150 more than even the VA version of this one but it was worth every penny all the features just come together and blow me away

I ordered this monitor to use in addition to my existing Benq GW2765 which I use for general office work for a little more gaming performance (Freesync 2 premium HDR and 165hz refresh). I didnt want to go to a larger size as it'll be used for both productivity as well as gaming and didn't want to get too carried away. The good - The screen is lovely, an even backlight with no bleed or dead/stuck pixels and a very vibrant display (although being IPS there is some glow), it also has a good range of gamma adjustment. I didn't find it dim as reviews and other contributors have mentioned, quite the opposite infact (although used in a north facing room, with a light source directly above, but not direct sunlight). HDR; *does* make a difference, although I generally leave it off, in God of War for example it does make the visuals "pop". The inbuilt sound is excellent for a non-audiophile, I've ditched my bookshelf speakers as it really is quite acceptable and produces enough clarity, volume and bass for gaming and other tasks when tweaked to my preference. The Bad - Although adjustable for height and rotation, this is limited (not quite enough height at 100mmor enough rotation at 15 degrees); I mention this primarily because I am used to productivity type monitors which bend every which way, so it was quite jarring. If I find it too limited in future the monitor has a standard 10x10 VESA mount so this is able to be remedied fairly easily at minimal cost. This is a nitpick really as the current fashion for pronged display stands in this type of gaming monitor seems to be pretty standard in this monitors price segment. The Ugly - Incorrect power cable in the box, not a big deal for myself as I robbed a cloverleaf (aka mickey mouse) IEC lead from an old laptop charger. But it would be irritating if I hadn't had one on hand. The box was even labelled "Benq power lead swap". Shame they swapped it with an incorrect IEC 13 lead. I am pleased with it and it does feel like a genuine upgrade over my existing screen for a relatively low price for what it has on offer, with the certain caveats mentioned above. NB. I purchased this on the Black Friday offer of <£290. At this price it is good value and was a genuine saving. At time of writing it is now >£400, at that price many other options are available.

The high refresh rate and quick response time make gameplay incredibly smooth, with no noticeable ghosting or lag. Colors look great, and the HDRi feature helps enhance details without making things look overdone. The built-in speakers are better than most, and the small woofer adds some depth to the sound, though for serious gaming, a headset is still the way to go. Adjustability is a nice touch, making it comfortable for long sessions. Overall, a solid choice for both gaming and general use.

The monitor is well built with a robust stand, that has height, tilt and left and right functionality. Sadly it cannot go into a portrait position (you would need a monitor arm for that). The picture quality is really excellent and HDR makes it look even better. The backlight has really good uniformity, with very little light bleed (at least on the one I received). The most impressive part is the built-in speakers, they really do sound excellent (apart from an iMac, they are the best I have ever heard from built-in speakers). It also has good gaming specs, such as 165Hz refresh rate, FreeSync (it also seems to work with Nvidia G-Sync, which is a bonus), and a feature I really like is the built in light sensor. It can adjust brightness levels automatically depending on the ambient lighting. Response time also looks good, with very little ghosting when playing games. For the price I paid (£219), I think it is absolutely a great deal and a fantastic monitor.

My review is based on upgrading from the EX2710 to this newer EX2710Q. Most of my monitors last me many years. Before these I was using NEC LCD1970NX 19" IPS, Viewerslogic IPS panel and BENQ 19" CRT, Viewerslogic 15" CRT, the list goes on... My system hasn't changed much in recent years. I have mostly used AM4 since the EX2710(Q) with Sapphiretech RX Vega 56 before and now NITRO+ AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT. First impressions; The monitor looks as good as the last and has an improvement on the internal speakers with a wider sound range. I am using this whereas in the previous model, I did not. I am not a huge fan of the stand on either model, not because of its ability to pass through cables or move it up or down, this works a treat but simply because I prefer a flat base, it is more functional where desk real estate is concerned. You cannot just lay a keyboard on it easily or it could slide off! A quick solution would be to buy a monitor riser to slide your keyboard underneath or change the stand entirely. Rear panel connections include Dual USB 3.0 ports with a printer pass-through. Displayport and dual HDMI. It is compatible with Apple MAC. In the box is the usual paperwork, an external power supply, and one cable for each port. USB, DP, HDMI. My box arrived opened and resealed with BENQ tape on it. This was because the power cable had been swapped out for a UK cable. Quote: BenQ HDRi technology offers improved contrast, detail, and refined colours compared to standard HDR to ensure the best gaming experience. *This is true for the most part, I have appreciated this for both models. The last was a 120Hz model this one is 165Hz. And there are more features in the internal menu system. I am particularly pleased with the retention of the e-paper mode plus all the others to improve gaming and the cinematic experience. I do like to read Kindle books! The menu controls and joystick can be found on the bottom rear right side of the panel. There is a front-mounted button to switch HDR mode on the fly. I always choose IPS panels over VA because I like the better viewing angles. However, VA panels might be better for gaming because of their contrast ratios and detail. I am not complaining, I find for games like Rocket League and Cyberpunk 2077 the contrast and detail are sublime! Of course, if you need to block those viewing angles buy a screen filter for your IPS monitor. The shape of the monitor's back makes it look like a curved monitor if you play games like Cyberpunk 2077. The vented grill on the top does help with keeping the monitor cool. I have not experienced any blurriness or light bleed with this panel. I was going to buy the AOC equivalent but the reviews were better with the BENQ and I am not disappointed. Buy with confidence!

Firstly this is a great monitor, ideal for gaming on a PS5 - 1440 @ 120hz gives a very good picture. The box arrived with ‘re-sealing’ tape which stated that Benq had changed the power cable - I assume the original power cable was a European plug, so they changed it to a 3 pin UK plug. However, as mentioned in previous reviews the replacement power cable is the wrong type - it needs to be a 3 pin cloverleaf cable. Thankfully I had a spare cable but beware, if you don’t have a spare cable the monitor will not work straight out of the box. Hopefully someone from Benq reads this!!
