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

Absolutely in love with this monitor! The clarity and color definition with the resolution and refresh rate is the sweet spot for me. As it should be for most gamers. The amazing 2.1 speakers are a bonus. Probable best speakers available in monitors currently on the market. The remote is a nice touch as well and hdri features work great well!

Updated: 12/16/2019 From 4 stars to 2 stars Due to Color Uniformity Issue: After a week of the first review, I found it a little eye strainful to view contents with a white background. Upon some tests (as shown in the attached picture), I found the color from the top left corner grows yellowish down to the bottom right corner. The photo taken on my iPhone shows an honest degree of this color shift; this is quite noticeable in use. Disappointed as I thought Benq has a superior QC. Also, since BenQs support team kindly replied to my previous review in detail, I want to clarify some of the points I made as Cons for this monitor. 1. I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro, and a Walmart laptop by the brand Overpowered. In my opinion, even the Walmart laptop sounds clearer than the front speakers inside this monitor. However, Benqs has the advantage of a subwoofer(which, as I mentioned, is not really a big plus). I tried all the five pre-settings, none works for me so far, and now I use a personal EQ configuration by a software called Equalizer APO. I list the speakers as a con due to the high expectations I had while watching the youtubers recommendations. The speakers are definitely usable. 2. I did not try the overdrive/AMA settings in either Benq Ex2780q or the Pg279q from Asus, so indeed, I am not the expert on how the response time could be further enhanced. As for the color vibrancy, Benqs Ex2780q supposedly has a broader color gamut, and now I suspect the reason my experience differed might be due to the color uniformity defect in my unit. One thing I would like to add: for some monitor buyers, the new cool features coming out recently such as the HDRi/HDR, voice canceling headphone jacks, super-fast input lags/response times, or 200+hz refresh rates can all come in second or third places to some degrees of quality control. I have gone through the return of the Asus Pg279q (BLB) to Microcenter. What a heavy box to carry around. Unsure if I will return this monitor, as I am checking if I still have the mood or the decency to go through anther monitor return process one more time. --------------- Original Review Pros (from the most satisfying +to the least, but they are all pros): Compared to the backlight bleeding and IPS glowing issues on my previous Asus ROG PG279q, my unit of Benq EX2780q has visibly better black uniformity and almost no backlight bleed. This one came unexpected, but the monitor came with a solid USB Type-C port and a USB-c to USB-c cable. I tried with my MacBook 2017, plugged the cable in at both ends, worked smoothly. In the color settings, there is an M-book profile, and by eyeballing, the colors on the monitor and the MacBook looked similar. I use the monitor mostly for gaming and only play MOBA and RTS games. IPS,144hz, and 2k combined offer enjoyable experiences. Multiple color modes; I am mostly choosing from the preset profiles in the Low Blue Light mode, and they all look pleasing. The design. The monitor looks modern, stylish, and does not scream gaming. The remote was convenient with a lot of useful settings, and they did not cheap out on the joystick for the OSD. Things I havent tested: HDR & HDRi. Since my room is quite dark, I did not touch the HDRi modes, or the brightness levels would hurt my eyes. I do not play fast-paced FPS titles, so I did not toggle with the settings to enhance the response times. Cons: The audio system is the biggest letdown in my opinion, as this is one of the main selling points. The in-monitor speakers can get loud, but that is it. The subwoofer always sounds too heavy and occasionally distorted, and there is little separation between the speakers in the front. In comparison, the speakers on my Macbook Pro 13-inch are much more crisp and clear. Concerning color vibrancy and motion blur, based on my impressions, Asus Rog pg279q has the slight upper hand in those two aspects. Though it does not bother me much, the stand offers only limited degrees of tilting. In summary, anyone buying the monitor regarding the sound system as a bonus may be disappointed. But if you are looking for an all-around gaming monitor, depending on the price you get, it is one of the good options currently.

The monitor is great, but the light bleed and panel uniformity is little lacking. both of my monitor has slight blue tint on left brownish on the right. It also has little back light bleed/IPS glow on the left side as well as bottom of the panel. This is only visible when displaying dark scene/images so its not a huge issue.

I love the auto brightness sensor, but at its lowest setting the monitor is still to bright in a completely dark room. I wish the monitor gave you a offset for minimum, but sadly it does not.

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.

tengo una semana probando el monitor, la calidad de imagen es muy buena, representacion de colores buena. mi pantalla desde el primer dia tiene sangrado en las esquinas de la pantalla, es mas notable del lado derecho de la pantalla, he tratado de acostumbrarme, pero es muy molesto. tratare de ver como me contacto para ver que me dicen, aun tengo garantia. Veo que Benq contesta estas opiniones. Por favor Benq, digame como contactarlos, se me facilita mas hablar español. si tienen servicio al cliente en español me dejan saber.

As you can see in the photos I have attached it has noticeable backlight bleeding BUT it is not noticeable when playing video games. If you want this monitor for watching TV, youtube, netflix, etc it’s best you do not get it. With this type of monitor backlight bleeding is very common due to how the screen is placed BUT like I said before when it comes to games you do not notice it. I have this connected to my Xbox series X and it works incredible! I am able to play rainbow 6 with 1440p and 120Hz and it’s the same for Call of duty and Cold war. You can also play them all in 4K with 60hz. This is a rare monitor so get it if you are all about competitive gaming. The remote gives you easy control and the speakers are incredible! You have in the front and back and it’s louder than you expect with great balance. I have went through MANY tv and monitors and this one gives the best of both worlds! A decent size and with incredible control! Look this item up and watch reviews on youtube and you will find that all videos call it great! EVERYWHERE is sold out so I bought it here on Amazon. What a steal! The colors are breathtaking.

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.

Traerlo a Bolivia fue lo peor por la pandemia, en cuanto llegó a mis manos me sentí feliz, es, lo que lee en sus especificaciones.

Arrived with a pixel stuck red. It the problem doesn’t resolve on its own soon I will try to get it replaced and update the review. Also packaging seemed mostly fine but there was a scuff in the plastic on the back of the monitor. Decently deep to so maybe I got a refurbished one somehow? Edit: just got my new replacement, no dead pixels are damage, just the volume knob could be nicer compared to the last one.
