The Benq Mobiuz EX270QM is a 27-inch gaming monitor that boasts an impressive feature set, including a 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and a DisplayHDR 600 certification. It also offers a resolution of 2560 x 1440, 600 nits peak brightness, and a 98% coverage of the DCI-P3 gamut.

In terms of design, the BenQ Mobiuz EX270QM has a sleek appearance with a slim bezel and an attractive rear enclosure with some token RGB lighting. However, the forward view features a fairly hefty chin, which may not appeal to everyone’s tastes.

The monitor offers an IPS panel and supports both Freesync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible technology, providing users with smooth and tear-free gaming experiences. It also features two HDMI 2.1 sockets and a DisplayPort 1.4, which support the panel’s maximum 240Hz refresh rate, allowing for a lag-free and responsive gaming experience.

One standout feature of the BenQ Mobiuz EX270QM is its integrated 2.1 speaker system with a 5W subwoofer, which is a little unusual for a gaming monitor. Additionally, the monitor comes with a bundled IR remote control, which is a signature feature of BenQ.

The panel’s local dimming feature is of the edge-lit variety, and while it helps to enable the HDR 600 certification, it does not offer true HDR capability or improved HDR performance. The panel leaks light at the other end of the scale, washing out black tones and making them rather flat and gray.

However, the monitor does a very good job of rendering SDR content in HDR mode, which is a relief for those who have experienced monitors that mangle SDR content in HDR mode. While the HDR experience is not absolutely the real deal, it is as good as it gets for this type of display.

Overall, the BenQ Mobiuz EX270QM offers a strong initial impression with its impressive feature set, including its 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and DisplayHDR 600 certification. It also boasts a sleek design, integrated speakers, and a bundled IR remote control. However, its edge-lit local dimming feature and washed-out black tones may not appeal to everyone.
