  Monitors are a dime a dozen, but good gaming monitors that throw in features like HDR support, ultrawide dimensions, and controls that won’t drive you mad are much harder to find. You can look no further than BenQ’s Mobiuz EX3410R gaming monitor. It ticks just about all the boxes. Here's What We Like Great HDR support Love the remote Affordable for what it is And What We Don't LED Lights Aren't Great VA Panel Instead of IPS As the name suggests, this monitor is primarily intended for gaming, and BenQ went all out on the specs. That starts with a 34″ 3440×1440 WQHD 21:9 display housed in a curved […]

The BenQ Mobiuz EX3415R is an impressive 34-inch curved ultrawide monitor that comes with everything that you’d want from a high-end monitor. It has all the smarts to deliver a fast and responsive gaming experience. The curved ultrawide screen also makes everything more immersive, be it playing games, watching movies, or simply using the monitor for day-to-day productivity tasks. BenQ has used a great panel for this monitor and the built-in speakers are also surprisingly great. But just like a lot of other monitors out there, this one also comes with a set of caveats that we think are worth mentioning. There’s no HDMI 2.1 and the typical brightness is […]

  This 24in 1080p monitor isn’t perfect, but there’s simply no arguing with the price tag Pros Adjustable standGood-quality panelDaisy-chaining via DisplayPortCons No USB hubA bit of IPS glow The BenQ GW2485TC is a small office monitor with a big party trick. It’s capable of transmitting a video signal as well as receiving one, which means you can connect a second compatible monitor to form a daisy-chain arrangement and reduce video cable clutter beneath your desk. That’s not all the GW2485TC is good for, however. With a fully adjustable stand, a decent panel and a USB-C port, this monitor could be the very thing you need to complete your home […]

If you are on the market for a mid-end home theater projector and can't decide between the BenQ HT 3550 and the BenQ TK 850, then this review is for you. We reviewed the HT 3550 a couple of months back and couldn't have been more impressed, so when BenQ asked us to review the living room sibling of the same projector: the TK 850, we readily accepted. The TK 850 is in all regards a living room projector and replaces the older TK800 model. It has a 3000-lumen source (compared to the HT 3550's 2000 lumen source) and should be the ideal companion when combined with an ALR (ambient […]

On the eve of ZOWIE eXTREMESLAND India Qualifier Finale, BenQ ZOWIE showcased two newly launched gaming products to the participants on Sep 22. The products, called as Zowie XL2546 gaming monitor and Zowie Celeritas II keyboard, aim at the gamers and vows to enhance their experience. Both the products are now officially launched in India. The Zowie XL2546 gaming monitor comes equipped with company’s Dynamic Accuracy (DyAc) technology which provides a different spray feeling and maintains clarity during in-game movements thereby resulting in smoother experience. In addition to this, the monitor has a refresh rate of 240Hz which results in stutter-free, fast motion sequels. Its built-in Black eQuilizer technology brightens […]

BenQ this week introduced a new version of its ZOWIE XL2540 ultra-fast gaming display it launched last year. The improved device carrying the XL2546 model number has the same specifications as its predecessor, including a 1920×1080 resolution and a refresh rate as high as 240 Hz, but also adds BenQ’s proprietary DyAc (Dynamic Accuracy) technology designed to make fast-motion scenes a bit more clear. The BenQ ZOWIE XL2540 monitor is one of the fastest gaming displays on the market today. The unit was launched in late 2016 and now BenQ launches its improved version, the ZOWIE XL2546 with DyAc. According to a preorder page at B&H, the new model mimics […]

The numbers surrounding electronic sports, or eSports, are astounding. According to Twitch, the streaming video service, in December 2016, Dota 2, CS: Global Offensive and League of Legends racked up almost 40m hours of competition coverage air time alone. Think about that for a second. If that's not impressive enough, Valve's The International event had a prize pool of over $20m... with the winners taking home over $9m. eSports is wildly popular and potentially very lucrative. So it's no surprise that hardware manufacturers are queuing up to launch eSports-specific peripherals and screens. Team sponsorship plays a big part in promoting their wares, because what's good enough for Wings Gaming or […]

BenQ has been steadily increasing its footprint in the gaming-monitor space in recent years. Part of that strategy has been purchasing Zowie - the eSports specialists - and pushing into high-end monitors with 4K displays and adaptive-framerate technology such as FreeSync and G-Sync. In the productivity space, BenQ has also introduced super-widescreen monitors in varying resolutions and curvatures. Combining the two, BenQ has recently introduced the EX3200R - a 31.5in screen with a native 1080p resolution and 1800R curve. What's more, it has AMD FreeSync compatibility at up to 144Hz. And it's an attractive-looking monitor, too. The metal base attaches to the mounting arm via a single screw, which in […]

When is a monitor not just a monitor? When it doubles as a Thunderbolt 3 docking station. The latest 27-inch 4K display from BenQ is called "PD2720U," and yes, it essentially has an integrated TB3 dock. In fact, with a single cable, this monitor can charge your laptop, display video, and provide USB ports (USB 3.1 gen 2) for things like mice, keyboards, and more. Taking things even further, the PD2720U has a second Thunderbolt 3 port for connecting a TB3 device. In other words, you can daisy chain an external GPU, TB3 SSD, or even another display to the computer -- still having just one wire connected to it. […]

BenQ has introduced a new professional-grade display aimed at designers. The BenQ DesignVue PD3220U monitor supports virtually all color gamuts currently used by professionals, and can even display images in two different color spaces at the same time in BenQ’s DualView mode. Meanwhile, like many advanced LCDs, the PD3220U features Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, a built-in KVM switch, and a hardware hotkey puck. The general specifications of BenQ’s DesignVue PD3220U monitor are pretty typical by today’s standards. The display is based on a 31.5-inch 10-bit IPS panel featuring a 3840×2160 resolution, 300 nits typical brightness, 1000:1 static contrast, 5 ms response time, a 60 Hz refresh rate, 178° viewing angles, and […]

IPS technology has recently evolved to the point where 240 Hz refresh rates have started enter the territory of displays for hardcore gamers that were previously dominated by TN panels. However, TN technology still has a trick up its sleeve, and that is a very low grey-to-grey response times. Taking advantage of this last technical superiority, BenQ this week introduced its latest gaming display for e-sports professionals, the Zowie XL2746S. As expected from a Zowie monitor, it has a host of features aimed at gamers, going beyond just capabilities of its panel. BenQ’s Zowie XL2746S LCD uses a 27-inch Full-HD TN panel featuring up to 320 nits brightness, a 1000:1 […]
