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

I bought two of these to run my computer/streaming setup. Its a absolutely great monitor. Great sound, colors, menus. HOWEVER. One of the two has a very small dead pixel in the bottom right hand corner. (Normal people may not notice) however I do. And its my only negative thing I can say about these monitors. Cant notice it on games go often because of constant moving. But my black background shows it quite easy. 9.5/10 would buy again. BenQ has a odd warranty on new monitors. 5 dead pixels of white color. However I will probably use it for my secondary instead of primary.

This display is amazing. 1440 @ 144 looks far better than most 4k monitors. If you have the pc to deliver high frame rates in 1440 and want a high refresh this is the only display I’d choose. Running a 9900k at 5.3ghz with a evga ftw ultra 2080ti to mine and I couldn’t be happier with it. The colour saturation is bright and vivid, you get hdr10 on it, the sound through its speakers is actually outstanding. Can’t go wrong with this one.

I didnt want the hassle of buying and creating desk space for speakers in my setup, but I also know monitor speakers arent the best. Thats when I ran into this thing. After doing quite a bit of research on RTings especially, I decided Id take the plunge. I dont have anything negative to say about this monitor though I did get it at $350 and not at its original price. Pros: - Built-in subwoofer. What immediately stood out was the sound quality. The speakers are better than my 43 inch 4K gaming tv speakers (which I sold after I started using this monitor). I thought it was all purely hype. Couldnt be that decent I thought. Well I thought wrong. - FreeSync Premium is glorious. Everything is way smoother at 144hz like browsing and every day application use, but my gaming has gone up a few notches. No more vsync for me. This set has a FreeSync range of 40fps - 144fps. As long as your fps is within that range, FreeSync is gonna work, and it works great. It feels and looks smother than vsync for sure. - Monitor has a lot of useful settings for blue light and tired eyes. The IPS panel looks vibrant and gorgeous. Obviously this is an IPS so blacks arent as black as black can be, but its good enough to get a pass from someone like me who really cares about deep blacks. - It comes with a remote and you wouldnt think this would be worth talking about, but the moment you stop having to reach behind or at the side of monitors for buttons, you never want to go back. - Good build quality all around. Not disappointed by that at all, and it came professionally packaged. - Great for gaming. No issues with input lag, motion blur or ghosting. Cons: - No built-in USB 3.0 ports. There are some very, very capable monitors in that price range ($350), even less, that can match this set in performance but they have USB ports. Extra ports are always a huge welcome. Obviously those dont have a built-in subwoofer, so go with what you need. I cared more about great sound out of the box so I picked my poison. - Very limited ergonomics. The screen can tilt back and forward, thats it. No rotating, spinning, raising and dropping, nothing. If youre gonna buy this, do your homework. I have absolutely no problems and do not need to adjust anything, but I already factored in the height of my desk, chair, and the monitor, so I knew what it would feel like having it in front of me. - Could be brighter. Its bright enough dont get me wrong, but I dont ever run my backlights at 100%. I usually do 60 - 65% to extend the life of my screens, and at 65% Ive owned brighter panels. Its not a deal breaker at all, just thought Id let you know everything. - Because of the panel, expect some sort of backlight bleed somewhere. Mines is a tiny spot on the lower left hand bottom of the screen, like how the sun looks when its halfway under the horizon. Its extremely light and not visible at all in the vast majority of cases but if you focus, you can see a little white light. Room usually has to be extremely dark, and you shouldnt be staring at a screen in a room that dark anyways. No dead pixels though thank gawd. As usual, if it goes haywire at any time Ill return here to absolutely sink it in this review, but so far so good. Been using it heavily every day for a month with no issues.

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.

So I ended up getting a second one Bc it looked so good and I needed second one for programming. Pros: 144hz Good color details Good over all size not to big or small Cons: -Speakers have a little to much base in opinion (can be fixed with pc EQ - stand is a little too low for gaming since I play some what close to screen (you can get arm stand)

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.

I wanted a monitor for my Xbox One X to both game, and watch TV/Movies on occasion. This BenQ does the trick. The picture is great, and the speakers are a nice surprise. I dont think you can do much better at this price point.

**update**. Purchased a new video card and the screen flicker is completely gone. Great monitor in every way!! This review is still incomplete. I’ve had the monitor for 4 weeks and have noticed significant screen flicker on static images in games, specifically Fallout 76 while running 1440p @ 144hz. Still experimenting if the video card is the issue or there is an issue with the monitor.

Been doing tons of research for a PS5 and work monitor. Hands down, the coolest monitor I have ever owned. I see complaints about the brightness, it is plenty bright to the human eye with HDR, not sure what that was all about. Even started watching movies on it. Horizon 2 looks stunning on this monitor, just in absolute aww, couldnt put it down this weekend. Speakers are plenty load and crisp, easy to plug in play with no headset. 1440p has not released on the PS5 yet, expected on the next update. Currently, upscales to 4K on the PS5, not getting 120 fps when upscaling (works in 1080). Update: PS5 now running 120 fps and 1440p. Totally worth it.

Im upgrading from a benq GL2480, which would be a TN, 1080p, 24in monitor. Im not very knowledgeable on monitors but I had to return this monitor due to the screen randomly turning white all over while I was scrolling down a page. Reading other reviews Im wondering if its just an extreme case of backlight bleeding. But I enjoyed the screen so much that I will be trying my luck and buying another one which is why Im giving it a 3 out of 5 stars. Pros: -Speakers are a major upgrade from what I had in my prior monitor, and they are even better then the cheap amazon basic speakers if that helps anything. -I feel as though pictures really pop and colors seem so much nicer to look at when using this monitor. I tend to switch the hdri mode to display when viewing photos. -Improved brightness over my current monitor which is going from 250nits to 350nits. cons: -I would say the hdri itself isnt amazing for everything you do while being a selling point is a bit of a con. -The stand is a bit short, being able to adjust the viewing angle is nice tho. All in all I would have given this a higher score if there werent any defects, had the poor thing for a month.
