Further information on supporting our work.~27″ ‘4K’ UHD QD-OLEDs combine a tight pixel density with strong image characteristics, making them very attractive for entertainment usage. The BenQ MOBIUZ EX271UZ is one such offering, featuring a 240Hz QD-OLED panel and some interesting features. These include a range of SDR and HDR presets optimised for different ‘game art styles’ and the ability to use custom profiles from the ‘Color Shuttle Game Art Database’. The monitor has simple monochrome styling, with a mixture of light and dark plastics. The top and side bezels are dual-stage, with slim panel border flush with the rest of the screen plus thin hard outer part. An ‘active area’ (overprovisioning of pixels) between the image and panel border is used for one of the image retention mitigation measures. The OSD (On Screen Display) can be controlled by a joystick in the central region of the bottom bezel, facing downwards. Or by an included IR remote control.
A 26.5″ 3840 x 2160 (‘4K’ UHD) Samsung Display QD-OLED panel is used with 240Hz refresh rate and VRR support, including Adaptive-Sync and HDMI 2.1 VRR. This allows VRR technologies such as Nvidia ‘G-SYNC Compatible’ and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro to be used, with 48 – 240Hz VRR range plus LFC assumed. It also allows a 120Hz ‘4K’ UHD signal with HDR and VRR to be used on the PS5 and Xbox Series X. The usual QD-OLED glossy anti-reflective finish is used for the screen and specifications include a 1.5m:1 static contrast ratio, 178°/178° viewing angles and 10-bit colour support. The screen is flicker-free with 99% DCI-P3 colour gamut and 250 cd/m² (1000 cd/m² HDR peak) typical maximum luminance. The monitor provides a dynamic HDR10 experience with its per-pixel dimming, 10-bit colour and the generous colour gamut being put to good use. The monitor is VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified, with HDR modes that include stronger brightness peaks also included. As noted earlier, a range of HDR presets are available to suit different tastes or ‘art styles’.
A 0.03ms grey to grey response time is specified, with OLED technology known for exceptional pixel responsiveness. A ‘Motion Blur Reduction’ BFI (Black Frame Insertion) setting is also included. The stand offers tilt, swivel and height (100mm or 3.94 inches) adjustment. The included stand can be removed and a VESA 100 x 100mm compliant solution used instead, if you wish. The screen is passively cooled with a graphene film solution rather than relying on a cooling fan. The ports face backwards beneath the stand attachment point and include; an AC power input (internal power converter), 2 HDMI 2.1 ports, DP 1.4, USB-C (90W PD, DP Alt Mode, upstream data) plus additional USB-C upstream port. At the bottom of the screen, for easy access, you’ll find a USB-C downstream port, 2 USB-A downsteam ports and a 3.5mm headphone jack. KVM is supported for easy display input switching and USB peripheral sharing between 2 systems.
Further details can be found on the manufacturer’s website. The monitor is listed ~€1000.
