New BenQ EX271U 27-inch 4K gaming monitor: 165Hz refresh rate, AMD FreeSync, and 65W USB-C output

The spec list for the upcoming BenQ EX271U is now out in the open. The 27-inch gaming monitor will reportedly be a part of the Mobiuz gaming lineup. It offers a 4K resolution paired with a 165Hz refresh rate - plus, it supports AMD FreeSync Premium for smoother gameplay and 1ms GTG response time. The panel has a peak brightness of 400 nits and VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, alongside 95% DCI-P3 color accuracy and 10-bit color depth.

As the first BenQ monitor with eARC, the EX271U also supports immersive 7.1-channel sound via its three HDMI 2.1 HDR ports. Other connectivity options include a DisplayPort 1.4 and USB ports, including USB Type-C with 65W power delivery, which supports both data transfer and device charging. Additionally, the monitor's ergonomic design will let users adjust height, tilt, swivel, and pivot the same. Just like the recently launched AOC AG276QKD, the BenQ EX271U is certified by TÜV Rheinland to protect users' eyes during long sessions.

Incorporating BenQ's proprietary features, the EX271U includes Gamer-Experienced Color, which refines color output, and Shadow Phage, an AI-driven tool that adjusts contrast levels dynamically in real-time. The monitor further allows users to customize settings through features like Color Vibrance and Light Tuner. Its AI-enhanced Smart Visual Refinement, powered by the PixSoul Engine, adjusts the overall picture quality to deliver optimal visuals based on content.

As for availability, the monitor is expected to roll out in China and Australia first, with other international markets to follow thereafter.
