It's funny how "the world's economy is going to modor" As you put it. Yet every piece of tech that has come out over the last 6 month has sold out in minutes! even when they have had plenty of stock apparently.
One thing IPS reviews need is some indication of how "IPS Glow" presents on each screen. The lower contrast doesn't bother me, but "IPS Glow" does. I am using an old NEC Pro IPS screen, with only 800:1 contrast, but a special layer to eliminate "IPS Glow". It's fantastic. I have used other IPS panels and the glow can be really bad. With so many IPS type panel makers today, we really need to see which ones have good/bad glow.
tottaly agree, I wish new monitors would focus on quality rather than features like 360hz display etc. I wish such a layer to eliminate ips glow would be standard by now.
@@JhanSolo332 You can have a manufacturing issue creating hotspots, but that doesn't change the overall characteristics of the specific panel, which tends to be consistent. Some particular models/types are consistently worse than others.
What a treat to see this monitor reviewed, since this is what I am looking to buy (well, if it will be available in my country, as at this point it is not). Thank you for the review! This makes me go for it once this will be available in my country (hopefully it will be at some point).
this monitor is on sale now for $220 which going by current prices actually makes it cheaper than the AOC g2 which is is being sold for $225 the pick just got a hell of a lot easier for those looking for a 24inch high refresh rate monitor
I just bought one after reading a few reviews including this excellent one. My old monitor was a BenQ TN panel 60Hz rated at 2msec. Wow, what a difference with the EX2510! I was a bit concerned about the IPS panel been slower and generating more "ghosting" but I was so wrong! And the colors are amazing. So much better than the TN panel which look flat when compared side by side. At 60Hz, the IPS panel with overdrive is doing a bit better than the TN panel (less blurry). Then you activate G-Sync. And this is like puting the accelerator. In any game where your GPU can crank up 80 fps or more, you will see an improvement in the image quality; less blurry and much more reactive compared to 60Hz. Even in the desktop at 144Hz, it is better than 60Hz. Everything is less blurry when scrolling. I will take fps over resolution any time. Thx to you guys at Hardware Unboxed! Your reviews are always a lot of fun to watch.
@@bleekwater6176 any monitor with freesync can be used as “gsync compatible”; u just need to force it in the nvidia gsync settings. It will say that it’s not been CERTIFIED as gsync compatible, but all that means is it wasn’t up to nvidias super high standards when it comes to VRR. You can still force it to use the Freesync built into the monitor, and it’ll work fine. This monitor even has freesync premium, which is a bit better than normal freesync, so it’s gonna look pretty damn smooth when gaming, as long as u activate the feature in nvidia settings.
@@Martaine70 I think you mean DisplayPort, and this is partially true. On HDMI 2.0, gsync doesn’t work, but on HDMI 2.1 gsync is supported. That being said, who are you replying to? I didn’t see anyone mention Gsync over hdmi or DisplayPort here
Just got this monitor last Saturday. I was specifically looking for a 24.5" IPS monitor. It's my first experience with an IPS panel, coming from TN panels and I am liking the experience. The lesser contrast to me has not yes been too apparent, although I do game in lower light conditions. IPS Glow I have noticed, on my unit it is somewhat noticeable in the lower left corner when viewing it off angle (due to having dual monitors). Not a deal breaker for me. All in all I quite like it.
Please include backlight strobing results at lower refresh rates. Because of how monitors work you get more crosstalk when you get close to the max refresh rate.
Saigonas fake 8 bit. Flashes between colors to create the illusion of the proper color. AOC 24G2 is a decent monitor though. It holds up well to even my 240hz Mag251rx. It’s just the viewing angles I didn’t like.
@@Saigonas a panel with FRC will flicker between 2 colours to trick your eyes into seeing the real color it can't produce because it's 6bit. The flickering is eye damaging and specially bad for people with sensitive eyes like mine. I can't recommend any panel with FRC, ever. Please avoid them.
Great review as always! I got the 24g2 based off of your suggestion and a few other reviews about a month ago and I love it. I thought this video was about to make me regret my decision but that’s fortunately not the case at all. That extra bit of performance doesn’t seem necessary.
tfw i got it for 180 euros a while back. and yes, the 144hz version, but also the extra 4 usb ports and 2x2W speakers :D, which i dont use, but are a nice extra
yea the original video of the 24G2 shows 180 in the US. its now 239.99 vs this one for $10 more, so there is no real cost difference. sounds more like this is be best pick for this size/res/refresh. im still a bit hesitant to buy a IPS monitor, would be nice to upgrade to IPS considering my 144hz/1080p from asus was bought a few years back when it was clearance. may have been around with TN's with 144hz@1080p came out.
@@gavinwilkinson1602 I just got the ex2510, seems to edge out the aoc a bit. Either would be a upgrade from my Asus 1080p 144hz tn display. I bought maybe 4 to 5yrs ago from bestbuy bnib but was on clearance for $240. Asus still works great, gonna be my second monitor for playing two eve characters.
im to use to my asus monitor, i keep making changes to contrast/brightness/gama. im using the standard selection vs gaming since it is way to bright for me. the specs say one thing and so does the review. my personal experience with this monitor so far is its much better at low light/no light gaming. i game alot at night with a low wattage light maybe 40watt and mostly with no lights on. in fact im thinking of getting another one for a dual setup, this is really a huge upgrade, as even watching netflix with the same settings i have setup, looks awesome. not exactly like my plasma tv but pretty damn close of IQ on netflix watching altered carbon, agian. as for as him talking about ama settings i left it on 1 where it was at when i was setting it up.
Thanks for this one. This monitor recently showed up on a local retailer and I was wondering if it's any good. There's also another BenQ monitor that I think is interesting, the BenQ EX2780Q. It's a 27-inch 1440p 144Hz IPS panel that supposedly also has decent built-in speaker. It would be right up your alley.
Built in speakers are a waste of production cost and thus money. I hope all manufacturers stop building speakers into their monitors and lower the prices a little as a result.
@@immanuelkant7552 not for benq's, they are pretty good, at least you don't need desk speakers, for specific using, just go with monitor speakers and or headphones/headset
@@immanuelkant7552 I don't mind having inbuilt speakers. I would buy a cheaper model if they made one without speakers but I do like the ability to just play a video to show someone next to me without having my own speakers etc. I wouldn't personally use them for gaming or anything really but when other people are there it's nice to have ifyou don't do that too often
@@lepinja77 they have a collection aspect, sure, but it's not the whole point. Most people in the mice hobby actually mod mice, headphone enthusiasts don't just collect, they try to find their endgame). And keyboard enthusiasts spend hours each week doing keyboard chores (one batch of switches takes 6 hours to lube on average, and then the building process takes 2 hours). The purely collection hobbies are the rich people ones like cars (mostly) , watches, coins and art collectors.
well, those 3060 Ti's were snatched up so fast I didn't know what happen...but i got the monitor and I must say, for gaming this thing really impressed me. Coming from a 1200p 60hz photo editing monitor (has 3 OD modes lol), for gaming the EX2510 was like glass and zero ghosting, i didn't even notice any input lag, it took me a few mins to get used to the extra fluidity and i had to adjust my gameplay accordingly (bf4, warzone, quake champions, cs), some people will def like the black level adjustments under FPS mode, you can really bring out anything in the shadows....i ended up returning it because the colours were dull for me (desktop/editing), despite the sRGB mode which was decent but mainly, 1080p was too hard to adjust to coming from 1200p (both 24.5"), so im going to look at 1440p 144hz+ now, otherwise i would have kept the EX2510
Just today that is the 5th of April 2022 my BenQ Mobius EX2510S got delivered. And let me tell you one thing you won't regret purchasing it. It has 4 to 5 modes Speakers are 6.5/10 But colour grading and bezeless display are top-notch. Go for it. #benq #monitor #benqmobiusex2510s
Well thanks to this video, this monitor is the one I decided to get, I currently have an MSI Optix 1440p@144hz 27" monitor, and my system can run some games at this resolution, but for the ones I like playing, I can't keep a steady 144 fps on high-ultra settings unless it's 1080p, which doesn't look great on a 27" panel
I think BENQ used to focus mainly on eyecare monitor, this is why they put TÜV certifications even on a gaming monitor, the EX2510. In my experience, IPS panel with eyecare function works really well on both working and gaming. People spend most of their time not only playing games, browsing, watching videos, but also documenting as well as working. Thereby, in my case, EX2510 really suitable for all my needs considering all reasons mentioned, plus the accessibility and price here. By the way, in my hometown, Taiwan (the origin of AUO and BENQ), EX2510 is quite expensive (7990 NTD = 279 USD) compared to that in the U.S. But anyway, I can't buy 24G2 here :(
$250 is pretty high for a 1080p panel as it is, even with it being IPS. I got my G27QC 1440p 165hz IPS for $300 last month, and it's a pretty bangin' monitor. Almost 2 years ago when I first bought my pc, I bought a brand new 1080p 144hz curved monitor, and even then it was only $210, and MSI so not some off brand or anything.
I've just opened my new EX2510. Here's my immediate review of this monitor compared to the Viewsonic XG2405 (which I received a week ago). Colour out of the box: Noticeably more realistic, whites are white (for example). The Viewsonic looks a bit sickly and I couldn't fix it. Sharpness: They have it spot on here. The Viewsonic however was not sharp at normal settings (I was constantly thinking I'd have to get a new set of glasses) and too sharp at the next sharpness setting up (note that Benq doesn't have a sharpness setting), although text was then more readable. RUclips/Video performance: Sharp and well coloured. Colours and detail on the reviewers face in this video when viewed with the Viewsonic looked slightly strange, slightly smeared together, cartoon like. I know there's a term for it but can't think of it right now. Viewing angles: MUCH better on the Benq, I can look to either end of the screen and not see any light fall off. The Viewsonic did not do this, even though when i looked at the edges of the screen straight on they looked fine. Perhaps it was the screen anti-glare coating, or just poor angles. White Uniformity: Noticeably better here. On the Viewsonic there was a definite bright area immediately noticable in the central area of the screen. UFO test (naked eye only): Possibly slightly better on the Viewsonic, less smearing, but marginal. Audio: WAY WAY WAY better on the Benq. Bloomin' brilliant actually for a montor speaker. I'm more than happy here. Menu system: Benq is much MUCH more intuitive with less buttons and a joystick. The Viewsonic has five buttons round the back which you have to put all five fingers on to make sure you're pressing the right one and I still get it wrong. Monitor stand depth: 22cm on the BENQ, 24cm on the Viewsonic. Note that the BENQ and Viewsonic screens sit the same distance from your face due to stand design. They both sit at 20cm from the back of the desk. Stand quality: Both are bombproof with the Viewsonic being slightly more so. I have no issues with either. The Viewsonic wins on the fact it's a flat base so I can lay things on it. Not a deal breaker. The Viewsonic is noticeably more heavy, not a negative as it adds to the sturdy feel especially if you rotate the screen regularly. The Benq doesn't allow you to rotate the screen. Not a problem for me. Screen Size: The Benq is slightly bigger and feels like it's has a greater aspect ratio than 16:9, closer to 16:10, which I'm sure isn't correct but I like it nontheless! Looks: The Benq looks more fun and the Viewsonic business like. Both look great imho. There you go! Happy to answer any comments. *Please note* I have always disliked Benq monitors (used some at work 7 years ago and hated them, hurt my eyes) and have used a Viewsonic at home since 2013 which I like, so please consider this a completely unbiased review.
i am planning to buy the benq's "EX2710Q" but there are suspiciously very little comprehensive reviews for the same aside form 1 or 2 who are basically promoting the product.... can you please help me out here 😅
@@aaryananand3180 reason is 1080p is not a good idea at 27inches because u start to see pixels making it blurry. if you really want 27inches, its recommend to get 1440p.
thanks for the video . could you do a review on the msi optix g241 ? it seems that it uses the same panda panel that te aoc uses. it would be a interesting choice for the best 1080 ips monitor as well!
great review! Please do the ASUS 259q ! I do not know which to buy the Benq one here or the ASUS both colors and response time matters to me as I photo edit and play fps games (csgo @200+ fps) and the price difference between the two is 30$usd. I wouldn't mind paying the extra if the asus is better and makes me feel like I have the best I can get for my money lmao.
@@cnicolas I have VG259Q, my unit has a fantastic uniformity. Do not say that something is trash if you have not tested it. But if you play CS you should definitely take the VG259QM (280Hz) because it is only a little bit more expensive.
Great review! I must say, B.I.+ isn’t marketing BS. It’s my favorite feature on this monitor. I bought this monitor for CS GO. I don’t use FPS mode but Game HDRi instead. FPS mode allows for use of the black equalizer. Setting it at 7-8 it looks the same as Game HDRi mode. Using Game HDRi mode I get the added benefit of Brightness intelligence +. Imagine having the perfect brightness every time. On the chin of the monitor there is a sensor that detects light. When turning on a second light source a little eye ball appears in bottom right hand corner adjusting the brightness. I will never own a monitor without B.I.+.
After watching this review I'm sure I'll get the EX2510 just for the response time performance and being a TRUE 8 BIT monitor. No FRC bullshit to fuck my eyes more than they have been from my current LG MP59G (6bit+FRC). Thank you for reviewing things most of us actually can afford, not all can buy 500€ panels. Take care.
@El Cactuar displayninja also say its HDR10, witch obviously is not. I'm using this website to look for 8bit panels: www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/aafe2076
@El Cactuar problem is that around mid 2000 LG came up with FRC. Making a 6bit panel is cheaper so, everyone is doing it now. I don't mind paying the premium, I wish there was true labels to indicate Free FRC panels.
Had one for a few days and it's garbage. It changes brightness automatically when you enter a game and reverts back when ever it wants. Other people are having the same issue so do not buy.
Can someone explain to me why contrast ratio is important for gaming in dark environments?? I want the LG 27GL850 but the contrast ratio is literally the worst and I use my pc in a dark room
It pretty much means black colors and black screens will appear more grey and less actual black in the dark. If you don’t mind it’s fine but if it hurts your immersion get some ambient lights like a desk lamp or some LEDs to defuse the light. Personally I always point the desk lamp behind my lg ul600 at night and it drastically improves the blacks at night. During the day you’ll be fine because natural light will defuse the screen so blacks will looks black.
I have an AOC 24G2. It's good, the only thing that bothers me is the contrast ratio (for me it's too dark in dark games, I guess it's not a problem for people who play with no light in their rooms) and the amount of dead pixels that appear after some time. I wonder if this BenQ has the same issue with dying pixels beeing an AU Optronics panel. Anyway both good options, good job Tim, another great video.
Nice to see you dropped the Aussie price. It would be nice if you guys did that a little more often when reviewing new products. With 3080 only1 other review said the RRP for it was $1150 and the stores were charging $1400. Knowing these prices are valuable.
I just checked for my friend in Norway if this monitor is for sale. In Norway, the AOC is out of stock but the EX2510 is 75% more expensive so certainly not worth it.
@@rafitohornero3850 No? My Norwegian friend was looking for another AOC 24G2 but it was out of stock so I thought I could recommend he buy the BenQ EX2510 but it's 75% more than the AOC monitor so it wasn't worth it. It eventually came back in stock and he now has two AOC 24G2's which was what he wanted anyway.
I think the biggest selling point is that apparently PS5 won't run on a monitor that only has HDMI 1.4 port (such as the AOC 24G2), but this BenQ EX2510 DOES have HDMI 2.0 and slightly better results... You heard anything about that Hardware U.?
I'm late af, btw aoc 24g2 can surprisingly run 120hz even with the ps5, there is proof on the internet. I too thought that ps5 only runs 120hz using hdmi 2.0, but apparently it's not necessary (tho, a lot of 1.4 144hz monitors don't support 120hz on ps5)
you're talking about entry level 1440p though, you can't compare that to a premium 1080p 144hz as the only thing it has better over the later is higher resolution. I'd prefer 1080p with better overall quality than a budget 1440p any day.
@@Djuntas thing with 1080p these days is even with budget ones, you're still getting a quality 1080p display with reasonable response time plus overdrive feature. What intrest me in the EX2510 is exactly that but better, with an IPS panel and almost identical response time to some 240hz TN panels. I also wanted to try backlight strobing as I never had that feature. If there was a good value 1440p 24in monitor out there I would've loved to try that, but most 24in these days are 1080p so if I'm stuck with that resolution I'd rather have a good quality one even if that means paying extra.
@@visrupt I have this exact monitor. I also have a 27 inch Acer 1440P monitor. It’s XF270HU. I paid 299.99 for it brand new off amazon. I’m an Amazon Vine member(google it if you do what it is) so I got this BenQ monitor off that for review. Anyways my point is the 27 inch 1440p monitor cost just 50 dollars more and I would rather have/play on it 10-1 over the 1080P screen. People that still praise/play on 1080p either haven’t tried a higher resolution, are E-Sport pros, or their PC isn’t powerful enough to do high FPS gaming at a higher resolution. This monitor is indeed very nice. My Acer is a 144hz 1440P 1ms Freesync monitor and this is a 144hz 1080P 1ms Freesync monitor. There are more minor variances as well. But the point is this is a premium 1080p monitor and my Acer is an entry level 1440P and it is by far superior for everything imo to me and cost 50 dollars more for a bigger screen and higher resolution. Almost 80% more pixels actually and a higher pixel density as well even vs a 1080P 24in screen. I can’t even game on the 1080P monitor with my PC now it’s only for when the new consoles release to do 1080P 120hz mode. So to each their own I guess. Most people that say they will stick with 1080P I find haven’t even tried a higher resolution and DLSS and DSR doesn’t count. Both are trash imo but DLSS has potential. I have a Ryzen 3700X and RTX 2070 Super(plan on upgrading if 3080s ever freaking get in stock) with 32GB of 3600mhz CL16 memory and I can play anything I want at 1440P all ultra settings and always average over 100 FPS usually around 120. Anyone that says they can tell a diff between 100 FPS and 144 is full of shit. LTT tested blindly pro E-sports players and Shroud and they all could barely tell a diff up to 100. 30-60 is huge even for an average player so pretty much most of the world. Even 60-100 I’d say is noticed by most by 120-144 hell no. That’s what I loose by going to 1440p. Around 25-30 FPS so I go from 140+ to around 110-120 and this is only on demanding AAA games which I have videos up showing. In e-sports, older, indie games, etc it’s 200 plus easy. This is all Ultra settings I’m talking about. So I mean the huge huge majority of us are not professional players and we play for fun. A 1440P monitor that’s not junk(entry level doesn’t mean junk if you look around) in my experience from letting people try it in person they almost always choose the 1440p. Maybe your different I guess idk and that’s fine. I just disagree with rather paying 250 when you can pay 50 more for a bigger 1440P monitor. Also I’m curious you mention 24in 1440p wanting s good deal that most are 1080P which is correct but what’s wrong with 27inch? A 27 inch 1440P still has a higher pixel density than a 24 1080P and you gain a larger screen. Some reason you can’t use over a 24in monitor? I mean I sit super close to mine and I find it’s still easy to see the entire screen at once. Anything larger I do have trouble. I’ve reviewed a few 28 inch and 32inch monitors for Amazon Vine and they are a little too big for my taste. I guess 27in possibly falls into that category for you as well? Anyways if your interested in a 1440P monitor and can use a 27in you can find some real descent ones now for not much more than this 1080p one. Especially with Cyber Monday coming up be on the lookout.
Ditto lol. But a lot of folks suggested Acer VG271U. It's quiet cheap in the 1440p segment. But I'm confused if I go for it or just buy this BenQ monitor since my previous 27 inch 60hz monitor felt kinda big. Casual games were fun but competitive were pain in the ass no matter how close or far I put it because I couldn't focus properly due to its size.
@@BlackPanther-ks6fb Exactly my dilemma. I'm looking for a new monitor and thinking of upgrading to a 1440p panel, but I couldn't find a good 24in model. The ones I found were cheap VA from unknown brands with no related reviews on the internet. 27in is just a little too big for me. I'd probably end up with the EX2510 as it's still a considerable upgrade compared to my current VA monitor.

@@dutchvanderlinde4269 Don't buy Acer if you are into competitive gaming. The response time is high like at least 11ms or maye 14-15 ms on normal overdrive. On extreme, you'll get inverse ghosting. Rest the monitor is 'okaish'. Acer monitors aren't really known for quality but budget. BenQ is better. If you're into online competitive gaming, don't buy Acer. Not the budget ones.
i can vouch for this monitor. The colors itself feels like permanent HDR, 10/10 & btw, there is a 1440p 165hz version now called the 2710q, also 10/10 & beats even the odyssey G7! (source: i bought both & tested them)
They aren't worth it nowadays. GPUs are being designed for 1440p/4k gaming, so 1080p panels are kinda outdated unless strictly after 240hz/360hz, but even then those are also diminishing returns. Just go with a decent 1440p 165hz like G27QC at around $300 or so, much better buy.

Just bought it 2 days ago......in addition to gimmicky HDRi, black equalizer is useful in FPS or dark scene(due to its terrible contrast ratio) and B.I.+ is also useful when you're gonna binge watching videos without the need to tune the brightness. Something needs to notice is that the stand is huge and not very space-efficient. For the depth of desk less than 600mm consider a VESA mount.
I upgraded from an Asus VG27AQ to this BenQ. It retains the features I liked about the Asus without its drawbacks, and it's half the price, good stuff.
ips panels are really good now for competitive gaming, people who still use tn panels are the pros who really wants to get the most out of everything to gain an edge, but if you're not at that stage then go for this panel.
There is disclaimer with the xl2411k, the DyAc enabled lowers the brightness by a little. I didn’t like that. I thought about the 240hz zowie because the brightness wasnt affected by DyAc for $499 but its not worth the extra money because im on console. You can only get to 120hz with series x.
I love BenQ Monitors. Value for money. 4k 27inch Designer 100% rec 709 and 100% SRGB. All for under $600. Glad I got it. Before It sold out in mid july on newegg. Love the built in KVM switch included. Even both of my old BenQ 27 inch VA 1080p are still good value. Not for gaming But good for casual use and video watching. Which is why I bought them.
I’m noticing on mine with the standard setting looks alittle dull unless I have brightness all the way up. I ended up turning on fps mode with ama 2 and adjusting the blacks up to 8 and it looks the best but everybody seems to recommend standard. This is my first monitor ever as well with my console, so just trying to figure out how to get best picture
im using ps5 on it , for me standard and hdr is hard for some games eg:horizon , so i turn fps + ama 2 , its provide good brightness and good feels for eyes , i think its depends on each game we played .. in astro 4k + hdr provide best results , my monitor problem is there slightly shows backlight bleeding on the top corner its annoying me while the background was pitch black :(
Em, marketing on decent speakers was actually one of things that caught my interest. Because it'd be useful to have convenient option for external sound, just in case. Like when getting a guest over in house. I've also heard that people uses pcs for playing music, but I'm not one of those weirdoes mostly. But interesting to see how I didn't took notice of any of other extra bunk marketing features, like brightness sensor and the bullcrap hdr button.

tottaly agree, I wish new monitors would focus on quality rather than features like 360hz display etc. I wish such a layer to eliminate ips glow would be standard by now.
that can be kinda tough, it can range from good to bad in a single skew.
@@JhanSolo332 You can have a manufacturing issue creating hotspots, but that doesn't change the overall characteristics of the specific panel, which tends to be consistent. Some particular models/types are consistently worse than others.
i have sold my 500$ ips screen because of the ips glow. its so bad when coming from any other paneltype

Finally, a new 1080p 144hz review. Thank you.
EX2510 looks better than AOC's 24 inch 1080p monitor models. Thanks for this review
Thank you for the in-depth review, my nephew is getting this monitor for his first gaming build.
no! return this trash n get a 240hz mon!
What a treat to see this monitor reviewed, since this is what I am looking to buy (well, if it will be available in my country, as at this point it is not). Thank you for the review! This makes me go for it once this will be available in my country (hopefully it will be at some point).
I like this sentence: ,, Marketing BS '' I agree 100%
I just bought two AOC 24G2. They are coming in the mail now. Based off this video, I am still happy with my choice of the 24G2. So excited!
Are you happy with them? What are your thoughts after a week Of use?
@@GreatUchiha123 I will never go back to 60 Hertz and probably will never go back to LCD screen. 144hz is amazing
this monitor is on sale now for $220 which going by current prices actually makes it cheaper than the AOC g2 which is is being sold for $225
the pick just got a hell of a lot easier for those looking for a 24inch high refresh rate monitor
I just bought one after reading a few reviews including this excellent one. My old monitor was a BenQ TN panel 60Hz rated at 2msec. Wow, what a difference with the EX2510! I was a bit concerned about the IPS panel been slower and generating more "ghosting" but I was so wrong! And the colors are amazing. So much better than the TN panel which look flat when compared side by side. At 60Hz, the IPS panel with overdrive is doing a bit better than the TN panel (less blurry). Then you activate G-Sync. And this is like puting the accelerator. In any game where your GPU can crank up 80 fps or more, you will see an improvement in the image quality; less blurry and much more reactive compared to 60Hz. Even in the desktop at 144Hz, it is better than 60Hz. Everything is less blurry when scrolling. I will take fps over resolution any time. Thx to you guys at Hardware Unboxed! Your reviews are always a lot of fun to watch.
how do you activate g sync when its not a g sync compatible monitor? I'm really doubting between this monitor and ASUS VG259Q to buy
@@bleekwater6176 any monitor with freesync can be used as “gsync compatible”; u just need to force it in the nvidia gsync settings. It will say that it’s not been CERTIFIED as gsync compatible, but all that means is it wasn’t up to nvidias super high standards when it comes to VRR. You can still force it to use the Freesync built into the monitor, and it’ll work fine.
This monitor even has freesync premium, which is a bit better than normal freesync, so it’s gonna look pretty damn smooth when gaming, as long as u activate the feature in nvidia settings.
@@dvargas3553 and in ps5?
You need a dataport cable for Gsync to work. It will not work properly with hdmi, if at all.
@@Martaine70 I think you mean DisplayPort, and this is partially true. On HDMI 2.0, gsync doesn’t work, but on HDMI 2.1 gsync is supported. That being said, who are you replying to? I didn’t see anyone mention Gsync over hdmi or DisplayPort here
Just got this monitor last Saturday. I was specifically looking for a 24.5" IPS monitor. It's my first experience with an IPS panel, coming from TN panels and I am liking the experience. The lesser contrast to me has not yes been too apparent, although I do game in lower light conditions. IPS Glow I have noticed, on my unit it is somewhat noticeable in the lower left corner when viewing it off angle (due to having dual monitors). Not a deal breaker for me.
All in all I quite like it.

Please include backlight strobing results at lower refresh rates. Because of how monitors work you get more crosstalk when you get close to the max refresh rate.
Also, it would be nice to measure screen brightness when using blur reduction.

Can't recommend the 24G2 to anyone that care about their eyes as it's a 6 bit + FRC monitor.
@@JaySilva88 what's wrong with it being 6BIT FRC, please explain?
Saigonas fake 8 bit. Flashes between colors to create the illusion of the proper color.
AOC 24G2 is a decent monitor though. It holds up well to even my 240hz Mag251rx. It’s just the viewing angles I didn’t like.
@@Saigonas a panel with FRC will flicker between 2 colours to trick your eyes into seeing the real color it can't produce because it's 6bit. The flickering is eye damaging and specially bad for people with sensitive eyes like mine. I can't recommend any panel with FRC, ever. Please avoid them.
Great review as always! I got the 24g2 based off of your suggestion and a few other reviews about a month ago and I love it. I thought this video was about to make me regret my decision but that’s fortunately not the case at all. That extra bit of performance doesn’t seem necessary.
So finally!! BENQ decided to make an IPS Gaming monitor after like...15 Years
AOC 24G2 is 260$ in my country and 240$ on amazon, they raised the price after good reviews
tfw i got it for 180 euros a while back. and yes, the 144hz version, but also the extra 4 usb ports and 2x2W speakers :D, which i dont use, but are a nice extra
yea the original video of the 24G2 shows 180 in the US. its now 239.99 vs this one for $10 more, so there is no real cost difference. sounds more like this is be best pick for this size/res/refresh. im still a bit hesitant to buy a IPS monitor, would be nice to upgrade to IPS considering my 144hz/1080p from asus was bought a few years back when it was clearance. may have been around with TN's with 144hz@1080p came out.
@@Evilsizer82 pull the trigger and get one I just did it comes tomorrow it was £230 in uk I'll let you know what I think of it tomorrow
@@gavinwilkinson1602 I just got the ex2510, seems to edge out the aoc a bit. Either would be a upgrade from my Asus 1080p 144hz tn display. I bought maybe 4 to 5yrs ago from bestbuy bnib but was on clearance for $240. Asus still works great, gonna be my second monitor for playing two eve characters.
im to use to my asus monitor, i keep making changes to contrast/brightness/gama. im using the standard selection vs gaming since it is way to bright for me. the specs say one thing and so does the review. my personal experience with this monitor so far is its much better at low light/no light gaming. i game alot at night with a low wattage light maybe 40watt and mostly with no lights on. in fact im thinking of getting another one for a dual setup, this is really a huge upgrade, as even watching netflix with the same settings i have setup, looks awesome. not exactly like my plasma tv but pretty damn close of IQ on netflix watching altered carbon, agian. as for as him talking about ama settings i left it on 1 where it was at when i was setting it up.
Thanks for this one. This monitor recently showed up on a local retailer and I was wondering if it's any good. There's also another BenQ monitor that I think is interesting, the BenQ EX2780Q. It's a 27-inch 1440p 144Hz IPS panel that supposedly also has decent built-in speaker. It would be right up your alley.
Built in speakers are a waste of production cost and thus money.
I hope all manufacturers stop building speakers into their monitors and lower the prices a little as a result.
@@immanuelkant7552 not for benq's, they are pretty good, at least you don't need desk speakers, for specific using, just go with monitor speakers and or headphones/headset
@@immanuelkant7552 I don't mind having inbuilt speakers. I would buy a cheaper model if they made one without speakers but I do like the ability to just play a video to show someone next to me without having my own speakers etc. I wouldn't personally use them for gaming or anything really but when other people are there it's nice to have ifyou don't do that too often

thank you for the indepth review I just ordered one of a these, hoping to pair it with a RTX 3060 Ti if I can snatch one up at launch next month
well, those 3060 Ti's were snatched up so fast I didn't know what happen...but i got the monitor and I must say, for gaming this thing really impressed me. Coming from a 1200p 60hz photo editing monitor (has 3 OD modes lol), for gaming the EX2510 was like glass and zero ghosting, i didn't even notice any input lag, it took me a few mins to get used to the extra fluidity and i had to adjust my gameplay accordingly (bf4, warzone, quake champions, cs), some people will def like the black level adjustments under FPS mode, you can really bring out anything in the shadows....i ended up returning it because the colours were dull for me (desktop/editing), despite the sRGB mode which was decent but mainly, 1080p was too hard to adjust to coming from 1200p (both 24.5"), so im going to look at 1440p 144hz+ now, otherwise i would have kept the EX2510
Just today that is the 5th of April 2022 my BenQ Mobius EX2510S got delivered. And let me tell you one thing you won't regret purchasing it. It has 4 to 5 modes Speakers are 6.5/10 But colour grading and bezeless display are top-notch. Go for it. #benq #monitor #benqmobiusex2510s

The low levels of ghosting and one overdrive mode for everything would make this an instant buy for me if only it was 1440p instead.
Low level ghosting and one overdrive definitely great. If I could trade better contrast instead of 1440p I would want that.

Well thanks to this video, this monitor is the one I decided to get, I currently have an MSI Optix 1440p@144hz 27" monitor, and my system can run some games at this resolution, but for the ones I like playing, I can't keep a steady 144 fps on high-ultra settings unless it's 1080p, which doesn't look great on a 27" panel
Your reviews are amazing. Thank you
I think BENQ used to focus mainly on eyecare monitor, this is why they put TÜV certifications even on a gaming monitor, the EX2510. In my experience, IPS panel with eyecare function works really well on both working and gaming. People spend most of their time not only playing games, browsing, watching videos, but also documenting as well as working. Thereby, in my case, EX2510 really suitable for all my needs considering all reasons mentioned, plus the accessibility and price here. By the way, in my hometown, Taiwan (the origin of AUO and BENQ), EX2510 is quite expensive (7990 NTD = 279 USD) compared to that in the U.S. But anyway, I can't buy 24G2 here :(
$250 is pretty high for a 1080p panel as it is, even with it being IPS. I got my G27QC 1440p 165hz IPS for $300 last month, and it's a pretty bangin' monitor. Almost 2 years ago when I first bought my pc, I bought a brand new 1080p 144hz curved monitor, and even then it was only $210, and MSI so not some off brand or anything.
24G2 is a crap panel, only 6bit + FRC. If you care about your eyes, avoid FRC.
@@TheGauges420 Yep, If we compare to the IPS offer in the 250usd price range we got almost 10 years ago that's also quite expensive for such specs.
@@TheGauges420 That's true. But where are you from? We don't get those prizes in my countries that are not in the west.

I bought these like a week or two before this vid came out. glad that i didn't buy junk.
How’s the monitor? Is it responsive?
I've just opened my new EX2510. Here's my immediate review of this monitor compared to the Viewsonic XG2405 (which I received a week ago).
Colour out of the box: Noticeably more realistic, whites are white (for example). The Viewsonic looks a bit sickly and I couldn't fix it.
Sharpness: They have it spot on here. The Viewsonic however was not sharp at normal settings (I was constantly thinking I'd have to get a new set of glasses) and too sharp at the next sharpness setting up (note that Benq doesn't have a sharpness setting), although text was then more readable.
RUclips/Video performance: Sharp and well coloured. Colours and detail on the reviewers face in this video when viewed with the Viewsonic looked slightly strange, slightly smeared together, cartoon like. I know there's a term for it but can't think of it right now.
Viewing angles: MUCH better on the Benq, I can look to either end of the screen and not see any light fall off. The Viewsonic did not do this, even though when i looked at the edges of the screen straight on they looked fine. Perhaps it was the screen anti-glare coating, or just poor angles.
White Uniformity: Noticeably better here. On the Viewsonic there was a definite bright area immediately noticable in the central area of the screen.
UFO test (naked eye only): Possibly slightly better on the Viewsonic, less smearing, but marginal.
Audio: WAY WAY WAY better on the Benq. Bloomin' brilliant actually for a montor speaker. I'm more than happy here.
Menu system: Benq is much MUCH more intuitive with less buttons and a joystick. The Viewsonic has five buttons round the back which you have to put all five fingers on to make sure you're pressing the right one and I still get it wrong.
Monitor stand depth: 22cm on the BENQ, 24cm on the Viewsonic. Note that the BENQ and Viewsonic screens sit the same distance from your face due to stand design. They both sit at 20cm from the back of the desk.
Stand quality: Both are bombproof with the Viewsonic being slightly more so. I have no issues with either. The Viewsonic wins on the fact it's a flat base so I can lay things on it. Not a deal breaker. The Viewsonic is noticeably more heavy, not a negative as it adds to the sturdy feel especially if you rotate the screen regularly. The Benq doesn't allow you to rotate the screen. Not a problem for me.
Screen Size: The Benq is slightly bigger and feels like it's has a greater aspect ratio than 16:9, closer to 16:10, which I'm sure isn't correct but I like it nontheless!
Looks: The Benq looks more fun and the Viewsonic business like. Both look great imho.
There you go! Happy to answer any comments.
*Please note* I have always disliked Benq monitors (used some at work 7 years ago and hated them, hurt my eyes) and have used a Viewsonic at home since 2013 which I like, so please consider this a completely unbiased review.
i am planning to buy the benq's "EX2710Q" but there are suspiciously very little comprehensive reviews for the same aside form 1 or 2 who are basically promoting the product.... can you please help me out here 😅
@@aaryananand3180 reason is 1080p is not a good idea at 27inches because u start to see pixels making it blurry. if you really want 27inches, its recommend to get 1440p.

How are your eyes with the benq as I seem to be quite sensitive to glare etc?
Actually the speakers is a huge selling point for me along with the great qualities of this monitor. Today less is more on our busy desktops…
thanks for the video . could you do a review on the msi optix g241 ? it seems that it uses the same panda panel that te aoc uses. it would be a interesting choice for the best 1080 ips monitor as well!
thanks for the review.
great review!
Please do the ASUS 259q !
I do not know which to buy the Benq one here or the ASUS both colors and response time matters to me as I photo edit and play fps games (csgo @200+ fps) and the price difference between the two is 30$usd. I wouldn't mind paying the extra if the asus is better and makes me feel like I have the best I can get for my money lmao.
Asus monitor's are shit, they always have backlight bleeding issues, I would stay away from them... Benq is much better in this regard.
@@cnicolas I have VG259Q, my unit has a fantastic uniformity. Do not say that something is trash if you have not tested it.
But if you play CS you should definitely take the VG259QM (280Hz) because it is only a little bit more expensive.
I asked for this, Thank you ❤️
Great review! I must say, B.I.+ isn’t marketing BS. It’s my favorite feature on this monitor. I bought this monitor for CS GO. I don’t use FPS mode but Game HDRi instead. FPS mode allows for use of the black equalizer. Setting it at 7-8 it looks the same as Game HDRi mode. Using Game HDRi mode I get the added benefit of Brightness intelligence +. Imagine having the perfect brightness every time. On the chin of the monitor there is a sensor that detects light. When turning on a second light source a little eye ball appears in bottom right hand corner adjusting the brightness. I will never own a monitor without B.I.+.
As always, great review. I enjoy your reviews. Can you please make a review of the Dell S2721DGF? Looking forward to your next videos!
Had to wait until 1:30 for the price.
omg omg 1½ minute!!! that's like a lifetime omgzorz!!! I am so sorry ya had to "wait" that eternity while the intro and some info was put out
After watching this review I'm sure I'll get the EX2510 just for the response time performance and being a TRUE 8 BIT monitor.
No FRC bullshit to fuck my eyes more than they have been from my current LG MP59G (6bit+FRC).
Thank you for reviewing things most of us actually can afford, not all can buy 500€ panels.
Take care.
@El Cactuar displayninja also say its HDR10, witch obviously is not.
I'm using this website to look for 8bit panels: www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/aafe2076
@El Cactuar problem is that around mid 2000 LG came up with FRC. Making a 6bit panel is cheaper so, everyone is doing it now. I don't mind paying the premium, I wish there was true labels to indicate Free FRC panels.
@El Cactuar I know, it was me who asked about that. Problem is they're out of stock so I can't buy it!

Can someone explain to me why contrast ratio is important for gaming in dark environments?? I want the LG 27GL850 but the contrast ratio is literally the worst and I use my pc in a dark room
It pretty much means black colors and black screens will appear more grey and less actual black in the dark. If you don’t mind it’s fine but if it hurts your immersion get some ambient lights like a desk lamp or some LEDs to defuse the light. Personally I always point the desk lamp behind my lg ul600 at night and it drastically improves the blacks at night. During the day you’ll be fine because natural light will defuse the screen so blacks will looks black.
@@Gman0208 Oh interesting, thanks a lot man. Never thought about some extra ambient light
I have an AOC 24G2. It's good, the only thing that bothers me is the contrast ratio (for me it's too dark in dark games, I guess it's not a problem for people who play with no light in their rooms) and the amount of dead pixels that appear after some time. I wonder if this BenQ has the same issue with dying pixels beeing an AU Optronics panel. Anyway both good options, good job Tim, another great video.
i bought 2 AOCs 24G2 and both of them got dead pixels after a few hours of use
This vs. ASUS TUF Gaming VG259Q
Which is better
I also want to know

Nice to see you dropped the Aussie price. It would be nice if you guys did that a little more often when reviewing new products. With 3080 only1 other review said the RRP for it was $1150 and the stores were charging $1400. Knowing these prices are valuable.
I just checked for my friend in Norway if this monitor is for sale. In Norway, the AOC is out of stock but the EX2510 is 75% more expensive so certainly not worth it.
for some reasons
Are you saying that AOC24g2 compare to this and does it have significant different aside from built in speaker and hdri ?
@@rafitohornero3850 No? My Norwegian friend was looking for another AOC 24G2 but it was out of stock so I thought I could recommend he buy the BenQ EX2510 but it's 75% more than the AOC monitor so it wasn't worth it. It eventually came back in stock and he now has two AOC 24G2's which was what he wanted anyway.
@@dylreesYT so what do you suggest i have enough budget. What would you choose between these 2 ?
@@rafitohornero3850 Well the BenQ is objectively better but in my opinion worth no more than 15%.
Solid info thank you.
EX2510 vs EX2510S??
I think the biggest selling point is that apparently PS5 won't run on a monitor that only has HDMI 1.4 port (such as the AOC 24G2), but this BenQ EX2510 DOES have HDMI 2.0 and slightly better results... You heard anything about that Hardware U.?
I'm late af, btw aoc 24g2 can surprisingly run 120hz even with the ps5, there is proof on the internet. I too thought that ps5 only runs 120hz using hdmi 2.0, but apparently it's not necessary (tho, a lot of 1.4 144hz monitors don't support 120hz on ps5)
The dell S2721DGF is it better than the LG models?
Yes, dell has the same panel as the lg but it's tweaked to squeeze the extra performance out of it
@@bogdan5 what about the dell S3220DGF ?
Literally just got 2 of these delivered the other day, i absolutly love them so far. No cons
Just price is little high for abit more cash can get 1440p
Also rtx 3000 is overkill for 1080p high refresh rate
For the price you just spent, why in the fuck wouldn't you go 1440p ultrawide? You spent over $500 on outdated tech.
I finf it kinda strange that this is priced at entry level 1440p 144hz monitors
yea, but its still 1080p premium as he said. So if you dont wanna upgrade your PC, 1080p still rules, so get a good premium one.
you're talking about entry level 1440p though, you can't compare that to a premium 1080p 144hz as the only thing it has better over the later is higher resolution. I'd prefer 1080p with better overall quality than a budget 1440p any day.
@@visrupt My friend just bought a entry, cheap 1080 IPS 144 hz screen, this channel has also featured it 8 months ago...Hope Ill get to see it soon :P
@@Djuntas thing with 1080p these days is even with budget ones, you're still getting a quality 1080p display with reasonable response time plus overdrive feature.
What intrest me in the EX2510 is exactly that but better, with an IPS panel and almost identical response time to some 240hz TN panels. I also wanted to try backlight strobing as I never had that feature. If there was a good value 1440p 24in monitor out there I would've loved to try that, but most 24in these days are 1080p so if I'm stuck with that resolution I'd rather have a good quality one even if that means paying extra.
@@visrupt I have this exact monitor. I also have a 27 inch Acer 1440P monitor. It’s XF270HU. I paid 299.99 for it brand new off amazon. I’m an Amazon Vine member(google it if you do what it is) so I got this BenQ monitor off that for review. Anyways my point is the 27 inch 1440p monitor cost just 50 dollars more and I would rather have/play on it 10-1 over the 1080P screen. People that still praise/play on 1080p either haven’t tried a higher resolution, are E-Sport pros, or their PC isn’t powerful enough to do high FPS gaming at a higher resolution. This monitor is indeed very nice. My Acer is a 144hz 1440P 1ms Freesync monitor and this is a 144hz 1080P 1ms Freesync monitor. There are more minor variances as well. But the point is this is a premium 1080p monitor and my Acer is an entry level 1440P and it is by far superior for everything imo to me and cost 50 dollars more for a bigger screen and higher resolution. Almost 80% more pixels actually and a higher pixel density as well even vs a 1080P 24in screen. I can’t even game on the 1080P monitor with my PC now it’s only for when the new consoles release to do 1080P 120hz mode. So to each their own I guess. Most people that say they will stick with 1080P I find haven’t even tried a higher resolution and DLSS and DSR doesn’t count. Both are trash imo but DLSS has potential. I have a Ryzen 3700X and RTX 2070 Super(plan on upgrading if 3080s ever freaking get in stock) with 32GB of 3600mhz CL16 memory and I can play anything I want at 1440P all ultra settings and always average over 100 FPS usually around 120. Anyone that says they can tell a diff between 100 FPS and 144 is full of shit. LTT tested blindly pro E-sports players and Shroud and they all could barely tell a diff up to 100. 30-60 is huge even for an average player so pretty much most of the world. Even 60-100 I’d say is noticed by most by 120-144 hell no. That’s what I loose by going to 1440p. Around 25-30 FPS so I go from 140+ to around 110-120 and this is only on demanding AAA games which I have videos up showing. In e-sports, older, indie games, etc it’s 200 plus easy. This is all Ultra settings I’m talking about. So I mean the huge huge majority of us are not professional players and we play for fun. A 1440P monitor that’s not junk(entry level doesn’t mean junk if you look around) in my experience from letting people try it in person they almost always choose the 1440p. Maybe your different I guess idk and that’s fine. I just disagree with rather paying 250 when you can pay 50 more for a bigger 1440P monitor. Also I’m curious you mention 24in 1440p wanting s good deal that most are 1080P which is correct but what’s wrong with 27inch? A 27 inch 1440P still has a higher pixel density than a 24 1080P and you gain a larger screen. Some reason you can’t use over a 24in monitor? I mean I sit super close to mine and I find it’s still easy to see the entire screen at once. Anything larger I do have trouble. I’ve reviewed a few 28 inch and 32inch monitors for Amazon Vine and they are a little too big for my taste. I guess 27in possibly falls into that category for you as well? Anyways if your interested in a 1440P monitor and can use a 27in you can find some real descent ones now for not much more than this 1080p one. Especially with Cyber Monday coming up be on the lookout.
Thanks for reviewing this monitor....
I'm waiting for the Best 1440p 144Hz monitor choice... money runs out and I don't have a monitor on my desk yet waiting for a good advice!
Ditto lol. But a lot of folks suggested Acer VG271U. It's quiet cheap in the 1440p segment. But I'm confused if I go for it or just buy this BenQ monitor since my previous 27 inch 60hz monitor felt kinda big. Casual games were fun but competitive were pain in the ass no matter how close or far I put it because I couldn't focus properly due to its size.
@@BlackPanther-ks6fb Exactly my dilemma. I'm looking for a new monitor and thinking of upgrading to a 1440p panel, but I couldn't find a good 24in model. The ones I found were cheap VA from unknown brands with no related reviews on the internet. 27in is just a little too big for me. I'd probably end up with the EX2510 as it's still a considerable upgrade compared to my current VA monitor.
@@visrupt I ended up purchasing Acer VG271u 'cause BenqQ EX2510 went out of stock on sale as soon as I was about to purchase it. Let's see how it goes.
@@BlackPanther-ks6fb And how did it go? I have the asus vg249q but i just orderd the Benq ex25010 to see the difference myself. Im still unsure though since i got the asus for only 180 and the Benq is priced at 240.
@@dutchvanderlinde4269 Don't buy Acer if you are into competitive gaming. The response time is high like at least 11ms or maye 14-15 ms on normal overdrive. On extreme, you'll get inverse ghosting. Rest the monitor is 'okaish'. Acer monitors aren't really known for quality but budget. BenQ is better. If you're into online competitive gaming, don't buy Acer. Not the budget ones.
Wow, great review!
Please Review the MSI Optix G241 monitor
How does the new EX2510s compare to the original model? Does it perform better or pretty much identical?
ex2510 is better
techless channel done a review on it, to sum it up, not good in terms of color gamut and brightness in sdr
This display's design is a Zoom metaphor: black suit above, strawberries below.
i can vouch for this monitor. The colors itself feels like permanent HDR, 10/10 & btw, there is a 1440p 165hz version now called the 2710q, also 10/10 & beats even the odyssey G7! (source: i bought both & tested them)
@pangiospp no
@@LunaWaves would you recommend this over the Asus VG249Q? How does 60fps games perform on the BenQ Mobiuz?
for fps games (on ps5) better benq mobiuz ex2510 or benq zowie xl2411k? Thanks
did you figure out from your research which is the best?

How is it
@@scillianmafia99 It's great. No issues whatsoever. However HDR isn't the good.
Does it work good with shooter games?
@@maj910 did u buy it for cod
This monitor actually has an ambient light sensor but only uses it to change the color temperature, not the actual brightness? Why???
Still hoping for a lg cx oled TV review.
Make it happen please!
waiting for this review so much. Thanks a lot , will you also review 50$ cheaper msi optic mag 241 144hz ips monitor
They aren't worth it nowadays. GPUs are being designed for 1440p/4k gaming, so 1080p panels are kinda outdated unless strictly after 240hz/360hz, but even then those are also diminishing returns. Just go with a decent 1440p 165hz like G27QC at around $300 or so, much better buy.
@@TheGauges420 bro but not every one is having 3000 series graphic card. i got 2070s then also in all games except valorant, csgo, r6 i get below 15ofps and in 1080p with AAA tiles ultra setting i get 60-70 fps , all other specs are good no bottlenecking thats why looking for 1080p 144hrz ips

Now this monitor will be out of stock in no time...
Luckily I got one 2 weeks ago before more positive reviews came in. I really love it so far
@@clawson32104 Its 300$ in my country India which is ok compared to prices of gpus
@@Jack-xx3qg Yeah that's not that much more than it's usual price. It's really a great monitor
Just bought it 2 days ago......in addition to gimmicky HDRi, black equalizer is useful in FPS or dark scene(due to its terrible contrast ratio) and B.I.+ is also useful when you're gonna binge watching videos without the need to tune the brightness. Something needs to notice is that the stand is huge and not very space-efficient. For the depth of desk less than 600mm consider a VESA mount.

thanks I’m gonna buy the ex2510 on prime day
Testing PC parts on the weekdays, giving moustache rides on the weekends.
Is the 1000:1 vs 1500:1 contrast difference significant?
very impressive display for being "budget"
Tim can we please get an LG 27GN950 review. Availability on them seems to have gotten much better in the last couple weeks.
That stupid orange strip could keep me from buying this monitor.
does sorta look like a shoe........
You can remove it
I upgraded from an Asus VG27AQ to this BenQ. It retains the features I liked about the Asus without its drawbacks, and it's half the price, good stuff.
can u please share your gaming and general settings with me? im having issues with mine :/

@@isaac3045x hey dude thanks. This looks different indeed. Do you use this for gaming?
@@sim0790 I do use this for gaming primarily but with tv/movies as well.
Is the ex2510 good enough for competitive gaming?
Or should i buy tn panel, like the zowie xl2411k?
ips panels are really good now for competitive gaming, people who still use tn panels are the pros who really wants to get the most out of everything to gain an edge, but if you're not at that stage then go for this panel.
There is disclaimer with the xl2411k, the DyAc enabled lowers the brightness by a little. I didn’t like that. I thought about the 240hz zowie because the brightness wasnt affected by DyAc for $499 but its not worth the extra money because im on console. You can only get to 120hz with series x.
Now that the AOC is 220-230, will it be good just to go for the BenQ instead? Or the AOC is still better even at that price point?
Thank you for confusing me more.
LoL :) whats your other option ?
You should test the AW2521HF and the AW2720HF!

I love BenQ Monitors. Value for money. 4k 27inch Designer 100% rec 709 and 100% SRGB. All for under $600. Glad I got it. Before It sold out in mid july on newegg. Love the built in KVM switch included. Even both of my old BenQ 27 inch VA 1080p are still good value. Not for gaming But good for casual use and video watching. Which is why I bought them.
I’m noticing on mine with the standard setting looks alittle dull unless I have brightness all the way up. I ended up turning on fps mode with ama 2 and adjusting the blacks up to 8 and it looks the best but everybody seems to recommend standard. This is my first monitor ever as well with my console, so just trying to figure out how to get best picture
im using ps5 on it , for me standard and hdr is hard for some games eg:horizon , so i turn fps + ama 2 , its provide good brightness and good feels for eyes , i think its depends on each game we played .. in astro 4k + hdr provide best results , my monitor problem is there slightly shows backlight bleeding on the top corner its annoying me while the background was pitch black :(
Em, marketing on decent speakers was actually one of things that caught my interest. Because it'd be useful to have convenient option for external sound, just in case. Like when getting a guest over in house. I've also heard that people uses pcs for playing music, but I'm not one of those weirdoes mostly. But interesting to see how I didn't took notice of any of other extra bunk marketing features, like brightness sensor and the bullcrap hdr button.
Bro :p PC speakers have you heard about that. I have never heard about anyone using built in monitor speakers. Many of us dont even own or like using headphones, but got some OK speakers instead.
@@Djuntas Why waste space on desk for something you almost never use?
@@pRopaaNS wut? I use my speakers the moment I turn my PC on. What do you mean :) I can ensure you its gonna be better than any headset thats not some crazy exspensive thing, and no sweaty ears and greasy hair :P

You guys using this on next gen consoles ? Wondering if it would be good for the ps5
@@jma3165 nah using it for PC it'll work great on PS5 though. Personally I would keep saving and get a 4k monitor. Playing PS5 games at 1080p is not exactly next gen.
1080p is low for 25" monitor.
Nope
@@smp219 All the new 3000 gen cards designed to work with about 4k res, you can't use their potential with 1080p. I got 27" monitors with 4k resolutions (for editing/3d purposes) and 1080p looks so bad.
i wanna buy this monitor but they’re not in stock but they’re in stock on amazon idk if i should buy it from there

Any plans to apply your monitor testing suite to VR displays?
Hey man excellent review. I could get this monitor. I am not into gaming, would you recommend it for college work? Thank you for this video
Just so you know that orange strip is easily removable and they have designed it like that on purpose
