BenQ gaming monitor recommendation (first-line brand monitor with the best value for money)

For a long time, e-sports monitors and professional-grade monitors have coincided with each other, and each American has different needs. E-sports monitors are more about pursuing high refresh rate, fast screen response, larger curved surface coverage, and brighter colors to please the eyeballs. Professional-level monitors pursue high resolution to meet accuracy, use straight screens to reduce image distortion, use larger color gamut coverage to display more colors, and use more accurate color standards to ensure image quality.

It seems that these are two unrelated areas in monitors. As BenQ’s high-end gaming brand, BenQ’s Mobius not only inherits BenQ’s professional pedigree, but also has gaming genes, making EX3210U a A monitor that is both gaming and professional. So let's see if the EX3210U is up to the task of professional productivity and stinky gaming.

The appearance resembles a mecha, and the flashing light strips are full of e-sports style

First of all, in terms of appearance, e-sports monitors will definitely not be so low-key. This huge packaging box is mainly black and does not have its own parameters written on the front, making it look very low-key. Just write some parameters on the side, martial arts masters win. Don't write their martial arts on their clothes. The set also comes with a DP cable, an HDMI cable and a USB3.0, so you can start using it without having to prepare your own data cables, especially high-spec HDMI cables and DP cables, which do not have our Save money at these places and they are popular.

This stand is like a Gundam and makes my blood boil. The inner sides of the two legs of the bracket are orange, and the support column in the middle is as high as the waist. Screen installation is also easy. You only need to point the interface at a button to install it, and only one person can install it.

The screen is also very stable. Don’t waver easily if you win. The stand supports pitch adjustment of 15 degrees left and right, 15 degrees up and down and -5 degrees, and height adjustment of 100mm up and down. In addition to the fact that it can be rotated 90 degrees to become a vertical screen, this range of motion still meets the daily adjustment requirements. However, for users who need a vertical screen, I still recommend adding a secondary screen or adding a stand to this screen, because it would be a pity to abandon this screen without a vertical screen.

It has a narrow bezel design on three sides on the front. Because two speakers, sensors and microphones are integrated on the chin, it will be relatively wider, but it also appears that the display is not that thin. And the bottom is not our visual focus area, it is no different from the so-called narrow borders on all sides in daily use.

There is a black area in the middle of the chin that is as high as the mouth. Not only is it decorated with a grid, it is also blessed with black technology in the middle, which hides a light sensor. Looking ahead from a distance, it looks like a Gundam. Whether it’s the orange paint on the base or the obtuse-angled ridges like the Gundam, the EX3210U’s low-key appearance injects a lot of gaming genes.

This microphone is not directly equipped with a receiver, but can use direct mode and omnidirectional mode, aiming to meet our needs through different radio reception effects. At the same time, this microphone also supports multiple platforms and is not limited by a single platform.

The more e-sports part of the entire screen is at the back, which everyone can see but cannot usually see. Actually, there are lights on the back, or four centrally symmetrical light strips, and it has a white base, and I think I'm going to take off, which is even harder than the United model. These four light strips also have six lighting effects, which can be adjusted according to your own preferences. The 5W stereo on the top is also made into a polygon. The frame line parallel to the light bar has no fragments visually and is very harmonious and unified.

Of course, this 5W stereo system also forms a 2.1 channel with the two 2W treVolo speakers on the front to create a surround sound. No. Isn’t this much better than the original channel of 9 yuan 9 with free shipping?

As far as the sound quality is concerned, it is also very good among competing products. Plus, it's much better than listening to loud sounds. Of course, eSports monitors can have no surrounding light, but still hear sound. With the preset FPS, sports mode, cinema mode, rock/party mode, and racing mode, which scenes can be excluded?

Just from the appearance point of view, the design of BenQ Mobius EX3210U is almost full-body in my aesthetic point of view. It's designed without being arrogant. Instead of being arrogant like some e-sports monitors, the design is integrated into the details of the fuselage, which is really unforgettable at a glance.

Open the frame on the back of the fuselage and you can see the contents hidden below, which are an HDMI2.1 interface, a DP1.4 interface, a 3.5MM headphone interface, a USB Type-B interface, and four USB3.0 interface. This uncommon USB Type-B interface is rarely seen by everyone. This interface is mainly for interfaces such as printers, and can also transmit video. I have also inquired that this interface will be more robust and can adapt well to changes in the environment.

What do you think of this interface? I think this is the accumulation of old manufacturers, because it is difficult to see this interface on some young brands, and there are indeed some users in the market who have certain demand for this interface.

The laptops, PC consoles, XBOX, and PS5 we usually use can all be connected, and the interfaces are very complete. There is no need to worry about insufficient interfaces, and connecting peripherals will not occupy the number of interfaces on the host. It can also be used as a docking station when multiple devices are connected, and its functions are still very powerful.

4K+144Hz, both high refresh rate and high resolution

The most important thing about this monitor is the front 32-inch IPS panel, 4K resolution, and 144Hz refresh rate. It has 10-bit color depth and can display 1.07 billion colors. It supports 98% DCI-P3 wide color gamut coverage and 99% Adobe RGB color gamut coverage of the screen. This list of parameters may be difficult for you to understand, so I will break it down and explain it to you one by one.

For ordinary e-sports monitors, 2K or 1080P screens are commonly used, and many use TN screens, so the screen latency will be lower. Of course, viewing angle, screen transparency, and color gamut coverage will all become problems, and it may even look gray. The first advantage of this screen is that 4K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate exist at the same time. Most monitors will choose this or that, either high scores or high brushes.

Secondly, the cost of IPS panels will be higher than that of TN screens, which is also determined by the characteristics of LCD. When the IPS panel has a refresh rate of 144Hz and a response speed of 1Ms, the display effect is good and the cost goes up. Coupled with FreeSync technology, the gaming experience is even better. The 10-bit color depth also enables the screen to display 1.07 billion colors and cover more color gamuts, thus supporting 98% DCI-P3 wide color gamut coverage and 99% Adobe RGB color gamut.

There is also HDR technology. Currently, HDR is present in many videos and games. The scenes seen by the product do not support HDR. Almost all scenes are bright and overexposed, and the dark parts are too dark. There is basically no viewing experience. Mobius EX3210U supports HDR600, which can also make HDR images feel more comfortable, dark details are clearer, and bright highlights will not turn white due to insufficient screen brightness.

And this HDR is not just a small switch, but the HDRi button can be turned on when HDR is turned on and is hidden in the lower right corner of the screen. It detects the current image content in real time, and then automatically adjusts the screen brightness to reduce eye fatigue caused by HDR highlights and overexposure, so that people always have a comfortable viewing experience and enhance the existing HDR display effect.

Combined with local dimming technology, the LCD backlight can be adjusted in different areas, reducing power consumption while improving the contrast and grayscale of the picture, further improving the display screen.

Adapted to various game scenes, full of e-sports attributes

After all, it is an e-sports monitor, so it has special presets for different game scene modes. There are three modes: FPS, RPG, RCG3. There are two switching methods, one is the five-dimensional rocker button switch at the bottom, and the other is the OSD remote control. The effect is the same, but at first I thought who was so lazy to use the remote control while sitting in front of the monitor. But when I first started using it, simple operations like turning on the TV were very comfortable, and I didn’t have to guess what the buttons next to the joystick were. This design is very popular.

In FPS games, what we need is more clearly observable dark details, which can distinguish "Old Liu" hiding in the shadows. Therefore, increasing the brightness of dark details can greatly increase the probability of discovering enemies hiding in the dark, which is why we can't beat high-end players. Every peripheral is an external weapon.

However, when starting the "Horizon" journey in RCG mode, the anti-tear requirements of racing games are relatively high, because the tearing of the screen at high speed can easily affect the look and feel of the game due to misalignment. The Mobius EX3210U with RCG mode turned on can display well due to its huge bandwidth throughput and its own technical support. Whether I'm running at high speeds, playing in the mud, or even surfing in a shallow stream, this screen is gaming and cool.

Of course, RPG games also have good support effects. Of course, it won't. It doesn't matter if your game isn't great. t in it. For different types of games, EX3210U also supports lighting tuner screen customization, which allows you to adjust your favorite mode according to your preferences and screen style. Ten built-in game color preset modes can enrich game color levels and dark details. We can flexibly adjust the screen according to our preferences to make it in the most comfortable state.

And this function is equipped with a memory interface. After setting up, even if you change a host, the parameters will not change, and you can quickly return to your favorite screen when switching multiple hosts.

Productivity screen, supported by five major eye protection technologies

Of course, this monitor is not only bought for playing games, but also an important tool for improving productivity in daily life. After the game is over, just switch the color gamut mode to sRGB and you can start productivity operations.

Video editing, photo retouching and other operations are no problem, because this high color gamut coverage IPS panel is more suitable for video workers than TN panels.

If you have the deep pockets, it's usually Apple. You can even adjust to work in M-book mode when connected to a MacBook, allowing you to seamlessly switch between large and small devices. This is also an important reason why I bought this screen.

Compared with traditional e-sports monitors, it pursues higher brush strokes, fast screen response, larger curved surface coverage, and more vivid and pleasing colors. The high resolution of Mobius BenQ EX3210U can meet the accuracy requirements, the straight screen can reduce picture distortion, the larger color gamut can display more colors, and the more accurate color scale can ensure picture quality. I made a very good choice in pursuing the balance between e-sports and gaming.

So we have to look at this screen for a long time every day. It’s the one who edits videos and makes pictures at work, and it’s the one who catches fish, plays games, and reads novels. Fortunately, the EX3210U has five major eye protection technologies: low B.I. smart dimming, blue light, low-frequency flicker, weak color mode, and electronic paper, and has been adjusted for the points where the screen will cause damage to the eyes.

This B.I. intelligent dimming is BenQ’s patented technology. It detects ambient light through the light sensor at the bottom of the screen and adjusts the screen light in real time to avoid visual fatigue on the monitor due to high ambient light contrast. Of course, we also need to rest our eyes frequently when using them.

Experience summary

In fact, after testing the BenQ Mobius EX3210U monitor, I think it is an all-round product that is particularly suitable for high-end users. It can not only support workflows like PC, mainframe, and Apple, but also cover high resolution and high refresh rate at the same time. No. Isn’t this what high-end users need? This monitor can fully meet the needs of professional users, whether it is audio-visual entertainment or work and study. It can be said to be an all-round hexagonal warrior.
